Mentos

They/Them PFP/Banner are from Coffee Talk (Works on Linux) Used to be more Linus Mint stuff but ran out of stuff to say.

I just got new deodorant yesterday so I don't have to keep swapping deodorant in each bag but forgot to put it back into the one I'm taking boldering today so sorry to anyone I pass.

[mentofal]

Ok, I'll buy one of the 5tb not second hand, uggh. I'll run hex os so- hopefully they don't both fail at the exact same time.

[mentofal]

It's probably not smart to run a nas through external drives but gosh would it be cheap, found one that the internet says is sketch, 5tb for 180. Hard to not go for tbh.

Why must single beds always come with a single pillowcase, ahhh. I hate that it's seen as the "child" bed. Why would I want more space I wouldn't use?

[mentofal]

Got to write about web standards and acessability and am holding back from emailing ppl cos I know I shouldn't cos I can't ref stuff but I WANT TO. I WANT TO CONTACT EXPERTS, I WANT TO EMAIL, I WISH TO LEARN MORE AND I CAN'T.

NUC Plan

I know it's kinda very jank. Only the 5TB will be in the NUC, the other two are for-

personal use.

[mentofal]

The NUC overheated, typical. I've taken it apart I'll buy thermal paste at some point.

[deer----god]

put nuc in cold water nuc like cold water keep tempertur down and cool nice and cold water nuc like good

[mentofal]

That would explain how it's rusty. No other explanation I can think of rn.

Firstly, I know I'm being dumb with this but-

I connected my NUC and future NAS to my PC with a LAN cable. All three are three digits so this must work and be the intended use and the constant "network connection failed notifications mean NOTHING, and everything is fine!

I'm not sure how big it is on Twitter but if its spread here as I've seen people worried it has: I want to make it clear. Colourism and racism are built into our society, our language, the internet, if you haven't done the work to recognise your place in this you are capable of doing harm and may not be able to take the feedback needed to be in a community. I'd recommend you do that work, the world is full of amazing people, cultures, food, stories and traditions. Creating a community were people are welcome is why I made this account at all. I can't pretend to have influence but I do what I can.

If you think any minority identity cannot co exist with a race or could somehow cancel out race. Unfollow and block me, you are not welcome here.

[mentofal]

The other version of the scheduled post cos I'ma sleep now:

Racists fuck off I don't want ya here cos if people want to be here I won't have you makeing anyone unsafe. I want PoC to feel welcome, I've never been in a solely white community and I hope to keep it that way.

I don't need cute work out gear but ahfhbfknf

I now must bravely change my bed sheets while sleepy.

you know that process of de-centering men people talk about when they look at their life.. what they consider to be their goals, their sense of satisfaction, what is fulfillment, what is beauty, what is love and what is attraction.. and figuring out how much of that is warped by patriarchal instillment?

you have to do it with whiteness too.. you have to ACTIVELY de-center whiteness from your ideals of success, community, humanity, society, morality and beauty

[mentofal]

I need to move my bed away from the window. I haven't slept and it's been 12 hours. Someone left a gate open and it is shreeeking.

linuxposting tends to be frustrating on this site because on one hand I am deeply aware that even among people willing to switch it's enough that one program that they use on daily basis does not work on Linux, it's enough to be a deal breaker, and this results in this mismatch of experiences where for one person switching is extremely maddening endeavour while for others they go "hey it was incredibly simple for me what gives" and for both happens to be true and they both end up talking over each other because for both of them this was their exact lived experience.

there's also another annoyance where you see posts that do point out the material conditions for why adoption of linux on desktop computers is so low (my program doesn't work -> OS is not adopted by users -> people writing programs don't make a linux version because of seemingly too much effort for the number of users) and they're true, but also they attract a certain population of users which treat this as an invitation to rant on the linux community and the obnoxiousness, and how some linux user dared to suggest to switch linux at them. and what now, do I reblog this with the comment of "yes I am one of the good ones" or similar. am I supposed to provide eternal tech support without complaining because if I complain once I will be labelled as the obnoxious linux user and this will reflect on the wider linux community.

anyway if you find linux users annoying, try dealing with windows users.
