real life will have no place here.
I'm here to talk about my nerdy interests: #writing, #RPG, #boardgames, #videogames, #speculativefiction
we do not emerge victorious from the cage
we do not escape unscathed, we scapegoats of seething rage
but we break it down
we cannot do otherwise
crack
crack
crack
the splinters and shards suffuse us
we carry bits of the cage with us always
but from destruction, we construct
and we who once were held in place
move
Iconoclasty
encased in a cage of bone
intentionally calcified
obtusely ossified
edified from an embarrassing absence of empathy
malignant appellations of apathy
salacious, sycophantic sociopathy
bones made by milking every drop of drama
squeezing every scintilla of septic sympathy
from unsuspecting specters you made of us all
backed into a corner
baked into the system
written in blood-thin barters
is the code that says it must
come crashing down
- a microSD card weighs somewhere around 0.4g
- the highest capacity microSD that's easily available is 256GB
- a trebuchet can throw a 90kg projectile over 300m
90kg worth of microSD cards is 225,000 of them
Therefore a trebuchet can throw 57.6PB of data over 300m
This would have the highest throughput of any telecommunications network ever created
After 27 years, give or take, as a Windows user, I decided to give #Linux a serious try. For the past year or so, I've used Mint, then Debian, and currently Ubuntu as my daily driver at home.
It has been 100% worth it, and the more I learn about the command line and the file system, the more I want to learn.
I am sure it's not this way for everybody, but where Windows always felt like this arcane thing that just *is*, Linux feels like something I can truly understand and control.
