Beloved internet comrades in focusing really intensely on the wrong thing:

What are y'all hyperfocusing on right now? I am politely requesting to be nerdsniped about your current weird passion.

My current hyperfocus: I regret to admit I am (again) very into reading about the sociology of conspiracy theories.

@jessie I am still trying to write an operating system kernel.

It is fairly clear that I don't have a clue what I'm doing, but I'm doing it anyway. So there!

@jessie I'm trying to distract myself by designing a transistor Ft measurement system.
@jessie DNS 🥲

@_elena Curious, authoritative or recursive? 

@jessie

@gytisrepecka @jessie dnsmasq to be precise 😭

@_elena Local resolver, hmm, you must be having fun there

@jessie My favourite off- and on nerdsniping relationship is timekeeping. Precision timekeeping. There is this half assembled diy NTP server with rubidium frequency normal, I need to finish, I like to watch curiousmarc's "clock repair" videos (cesium clocks) and recently found out that some team managed to assess Einstein's equivalency principle by spreading out several strontium atoms in a µK cold vacuum chamber, using them as clocks you can precisely manipulate along the two relevant axes.
@nblr @jessie Is there a video about that somewhere?
@jessie Japanese woodworking hand tools.
@jessie all the ways to (not) twist your stitches while knitting. I present this iconic Reddit post! https://www.reddit.com/r/knitting/s/gWnEPIqbpP
@juliaro @jessie I think it was in the comments of that post that I found the name for the way I knit: “Eastern Uncrossed”! My stitches have an Eastern mount and I wrap clockwise, and so the result is the same as Western mount with anti-clockwise wrapping but the motions are the opposite. My k2tog is the western ssk, and so on.
@jessie my bat fiction is my personal hyper focus
@jessie
How zoning codes North American cities block in-fill housing, thereby weakening the cities' progressive political strength by pushing would-be residents out to more conservative suburbs and exurbs, and perpetuating a growth model that creates a tax base too shallow to pay for its own infrastructure.
@[email protected] just got a pinetime so will be installing various OS on it over the next few days most likely

@jessie

I wrote a python script to harvest RSS from UK and Scottish publications to study the language of propaganda during Scottish parliament elections.

So far, 16,000 articles after one week of harvesting.

Unpaid, spare time.

@jessie @alexhaist perimenopause, HRT, and how to make a third zine about it.

@jessie pinning some fabric for curtains while watching either Rebecca Watson (Skepchick) or Dark Asia with Megan on Youtube.

Also I like writing longhand in my commonplace book and find new things to add to it by hitting the random button on Wikipedia until i find something interesting.

@jessie geocoding in the US vs source US census data
@jessie The ukulele and its similarities to the renaissance gittern (early four course guitar).

@jessie obviously knitting, more specifically stranded colorwork (knitting with more than 1 color on a row), and right now “test knitting” for a knitwear designer that creates “plug and play” knitting charts.

Yes I take my knitting seriously and found yet another hobby that puts me on deadlines 😂 🙈

@jessie Binge watching Taskmaster
@jessie ...is self promotion allowable within the scope of the response?
@jessie Orbital dynamics (how the heck we use math to send a thing to the moon)

@jessie im turning my laser focus obsession on the character Cat by author joan d vinge in her books Psion, Catspaw and Dreamfall

he's just a punk who introspects a lot and doesnt really belong anywhere but i guess i really need that right now and spend time being like YOU KNOW WHEN HES NERVOUS HE TRIES TO STOP HIS HANDS TALKING A LOT etc

@jessie how much we're filling up Low Earth Orbit with garbage and the atmosphere with vaporized metals as some of it drops out of orbit. It's maddening, terrifying and a little exhilarating if I'm honest how close we're getting to not being able to launch things at all because of Kessler Syndrome.
@jessie trying to pick a longsword master to study
@jessie the video game Cozy Grove. When will these dead bears pull their heads out of their butts and move on? And yet, I find myself strangely compelled by their stories as they're either very dramatic or relatable. I wish I didn't have to run in frustrating little circles to find their lost pieces of paper for quite so long, but it is weirdly satisfying.
@jessie I'm sucked into playing Subnautica again, over 20h this week. I've been dreaming about the Cyclops when I sleep, lol.

Putting my ears to the headphones, and tapping away on a morserino m32 pocket , a sort of demonic teaching tool for morse code.

It works as a bluetooth keyboard , too.

So i just wrote this text using morse code.

@jessie trying to build the equivalent of a Remote Access Server on and ESP32 to accept connections a device over serial, thinking it’s dialling into an ISP, and bridge it to WiFi.
@jessie Japanese light novels with RPG themes, and their obsession with good food.
@jessie I was watching a series of videos about the Rusty Lake game series but the guy doing the videos had a personality that eventually made me lose interest.
