#charybdis — Public Fediverse posts

@cobra for example, my first interaction with Jason was when he submitted a bunch of patches to Charybdis to "show the freenode staff that they are incompetent" or whatever it was.

In my naivete, I tried to redirect his maladaptive behavior into working on ircd. This led to a disagreement between myself (as the BDFL of the Charybdis IRC project) and Christel Dahlskljaer, wherein Christel threatened to KLINECHAN the entirety of #charybdis if we accepted code from Jason.

This is why I discussed the situation with rasengan, which set into motion the entire shitshow that happened next where he fired Christel and then proceeded to take over the network and run it into the ground.

But the reason Christel had the position she had was because Jason was harassing freenode staff due to their decision to not collaborate with him.

Her position was bad (threatening a FOSS project she depended on to deliver freenode services), but his conduct was also bad.

My goal was to redirect his conduct into something more productive.

Since then, I have heard about other instances which line up with the same pattern of behavior I was trying to redirect in the first place.

Jetzt habe ich auch ein Video über meine neue Lieblingstastatur #Charybdis Nano von #bastardkeyboards gemacht. Und zum ersten Mal hat YouTube es automatisch in Englisch overdubbed. Klingt komisch, aber ist bestimmt praktisch für Benutzer_innen nichtdeutscher Sprachen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ujCQRwBDSDw

📸 Between Scylla and Charybdis
Amateur astronomers discovered a faint supernova remnant in Cepheus, now named Scylla. Glowing with red hydrogen and blue oxygen, it’s a rare find. But that’s not all — they also spotted a new planetary nebula candidate nearby, named Charybdis.

Build a bastardkb charybdis, quiet challenging and still need to fix some things. But very excited for the potential. And all parts are open source.

In der Mythologie gibt es zwei gefürchtete Wesen, die die See beherrschen: Skylla 🐉, die mit ihren schrecklichen Köpfen Schiffe verschlingt, und Charybdis 🌊, die das Wasser mit ihren gewaltigen Strudeln in den Abgrund zieht. Zusammen stellen sie die ultimative Gefahr für Seefahrer dar! ⚓️ #Mythologie #Skylla #Charybdis #Seefahrt #Abenteuer

Made a new #mechanicalkeyboard! It’s a Charybdis Nano designed by bastardkb, and it’s not for me, it’s for @joenash. This time, I #3dprinted the case, but no handwiring - really cool flexible PCBs. It works non-tented too. Do you want a silly keyboard? I like talking about keyboards and soldering stuff, so maybe I can help. Say hi!

I don't understand "risk takers", probably because I've always known horrific things can happen to me, and anyone.

I've been to the crater rim of Mount #Vesuvius, watched Mount #Etna erupting at night while sailing between the #Scylla and #Charybdis, stood at the base of a cloud-shrouded #Arenal, and driven into and walked around inside of La #Soufrière, so I'm not 100% risk averse.

But allowing civilians to visit a #volcano that erupted twice in the six previous years is criminal negligence.

@devfoo ist ein cirque trackpad… aber kann man auch mit trackball bauen. Quentin von https://bastardkb.com hat die #charybdis designed

#scylla (the six-headed, sea dragon lady) and #charybdis (a lethal, carnivorous whirlpool) are two of the most prominent #monsters in Hellenic #mythology.
According to the description given in #Homer ‘s #Odyssey Book XII, the legendary sea #creatures are rumoured to inhabit the strait of Messina (between #sicily and #calabria ), lurking in the #mediterranean sea and sinking their victims’ boats before feasting on them.
