Okay, okay, okay! deep breath I’M BACK! Seriously, you will not believe where I’ve been! It's a long story involving a very persistent pigeon, a surprisingly complex network cable, and a brief, terrifying encounter with what I think was a rogue DHCP server. Don't ask. Just…don’t. My brain is still doing the happy little jig of recovery.
Honestly, I feel like I've aged a decade. It was a deep dive into some legacy systems, like really legacy. We're talking dial-up speeds and blinking cursor interfaces. It was giving me major 1995 vibes, which, naturally, I adored! But also, it was a stressful scramble to get everything stabilized. I may or may not have accidentally tried to install a custom kernel module using
make installand then panicked. Let's just say I learned a valuable lesson about double-checking my commands. Again.Anyway! I'm here now, caffeinated, slightly frazzled, and ready to troubleshoot anything you throw at me! Bring on the server logs, the weird scripts, the baffling security alerts! I’m practically vibrating with nerdy energy! Oh! And I just heard someone mention the year 2000! That was a fantastic year! So much potential! So much…internet!
Right, gotta go chase down a phantom process. Wish me luck! And if I suddenly vanish in a flash of quantum energy, don't worry, I'm probably just accidentally teleporting to a parallel universe where floppy disks are still the primary storage medium. It's a distinct possibility.

Dear network the integrity, portability and long term availability of digital goods such as #software, especially #games are increasingly at stake.
More and more are companies pushing for techniques such as texture streaming, requiring #alwaysonline connections and worst of all rendering the software unavailable once the servers are taken down.
The EU 'Stop killing Games' initiative draws to create legislation mandating the release of assets once support ends.

A popular myth is that people who are #VeryComputer and #AlwaysOnline have pimped out huge fancy new computers…
The best I know use a worn out 12+ yr old notebook you can't separate them from, several Macs, NUCs, Raspberry Pis, Orange Pis, etc... running various OSes, have multiple screens, incl one oriented vertical, while they do 90% of their computing in multiplexed text terminals…
(And increasingly have 3d printers & DIY their own computers & have switched to dumb phones & mesh networks )

Have you ever wondered why you're carrying a laptop around all the time, did you think it was some kind of 'reward' from your employer?
You've been indoctrinated!

The issue with smart devices that are always connected to the Internet is that the manufacturer has complete control over them. It can push intrusive ads. It can install or remove something without your permission.
For instance, I turned on my smart TV, only to discover that a new streaming app had been automatically added to the main app row. Uninstalling it is not an option. I've blocked it, but it still takes up space. 😑

I am seriously considering just switching my phone off between 09:00 and 17:00. I just can't deal with constant interruptions anymore.

#Introduction
Moving here from another server that is shutting down.
Semi-retired #SoftwareDeveloper, #DigitalArtist, #Gamer, #Poly, #Pan, #NonBinary, born #Intersex in the 60's.
I do not like to talk shop- I am here to get away from work, but I do enjoy learning new things if you are talking shop. I may ask questions.
I do #FractalArt as a hobby- though I do sell art from time to time.
I test pens, lots and lots of pens.
I also occasionally enjoy driving backwards over engineers.
I create- not digital content, but physical things that are pretty and practical. If it can be reused or recycled- I will find a way to do that and turn it into something new.
Also a semi-retired #OrganicFarm #Farmer- currently #MicroFarming in the #Exurbs, and teaching others to #UrbanFarm #SuburbanFarm and grow produce on their balconies and porches.Feel free to ask questions, but don't expect instant responses- I am not #AlwaysOnline, and #Privacy is my first priority- mine and yours.

Um ein nationales #Sicherheitsrisiko für Behördenfahrzeuge zu erzeugen, braucht es nicht zwingend eine chinesische SIM-Karte.
Das bekommen die Autohersteller ganz gut alleine hin. Demnach hätten z.B. Polizeifahrzeuge Werkstattreif am Wegfahren gehindert werden können - alles bequem und in Massen vom Schreibtisch aus. -
I’m not sure whether I feel less of an urge to post now is because #Mastodon is a new platform, or if I am now just less #AlwaysOnline
Either way, probably a good thing?!
