Your favorite trans techwitch in Central Ohio by a long shot!

Coded so hard that a CoverMyMeds got built. Spent 11 years of my life doing it. Then I burned out, we got bought, and I left. Then I helped small companies fix their tech.

Now I'm building interesting things for worthy causes; serving the queer and trans community around me; raising my two kids with my wife; and generally living my best life.

When I code, it's Elixir or Ruby, or sometimes Lua. Picking up Rust and Go, for no particular reason. I run Arch btw. (No joke I'm considering trying NixOS again...)

Iran won.

That’s it. That’s the story of Trump’s stupid war.

Tell me you wouldn't unironically buy this phone. I'd buy two, and I don't even run any Apple gear anymore!

I am now sitting on a fresh NixOS install.

It's a stretch, I know, but if by any chance there are opinionated NixOS users who want to point me to a modern, usable config I can start from?

Should I flake? (Did back when but I must admit I barely understand why.)

Should I Home Manager? (This seems like a good idea)

How should I break up files?

How can I make my system as fucking trans/queer/lesbian/sapphic/uwu as possible? (I know you dorks are gonna light this one up)

#NixOS #HomeManager #TheFuckDidIJustDo
Sigh. I do believe I'm about to wipe a perfectly good Arch install to give NixOS a spin again.

Fedi, am I losing my mind?

#linux #nixos #arch
Get rid of the bots and glowies here and this is like 90% of fedi.
Was it smart to wear a dress and heels to the tech meetup? Yes!

Do I look fucking fabulous? Also yes!

But do I regret heels? No. I do not!

"Mozilla built an AI kill switch into Firefox after its users demanded one. Only 1% have used it. Another 3% turned off some AI features selectively. The rest left everything on."

Poppycock. The people who turned off all the AI had already turned off the telemetry that measures this.

They really should release Idiocracy on Blu-ray so we call all celebrate the 4th the only acceptable way we have left.
Cable management…
