What were you up to during the outage?!

    Thank you for bringing it back online, I was worried it might be down for a while! Welcome back :)

    Nice to meet everyone by the way, I’m new to SDF, just getting to grips with stuff.

    I ended up watching some new anime. Ranma ½ (2024) is kind of bonkers, in a fun way.

    SDF is a quirky instance, isn’t it? It might go down once in a while, but at least to me, it feels more like a community system than some of the bigger instances. I love that it hasn’t made Cloudflare an observer and gatekeeper of our Lemmy activities.

      Just finished chanting “S.D.F. come back” while kneeling inside a pentagram surrounded by stickers and magnetic tapes. Pretty good overall.

        I smoked a pack of these in anticipation:

        Thank you for your service 🫡

          That picture always reminds me of a SysAdmin that I worked with a while back at a DC. He was an old school Perl and BSD guy and always smoked unfiltered rollies.

        a pentagram

        Oh! That’s why. It’s SDF, not your neighborhood technodemons. Should have been a bigram, so that the machine spirits could understand without converting numerical bases.

    I listened to my intrusive thoughts and filled a cheap fountain pen with (dye-based) printer ink.

    I hoped for the darkest black, but it actually looks gray when used with a pen :(

    But yeah, it works. It feathers and bleeds through a lot on cheap paper, but it works. By that I mean that it bleeds even through 120g/m2 printer paper. Maybe I could try drying it a bit first…
    Might look good with cyan.

      Oh no. Now I’m thinking about whether I can make fountain pen ink work in my ecotank printer.

        I doubt it.

        Although, I guess ecotank will have piezoelectric nozzles since they’re permanent, so there shouldn’t be a problem with how it behaves under heat, but viscosity (if that’s the right word) and particle size…

        Sounds like a bad idea.

          Probably a terrible idea. I do also have a sacrificial HP in the garage to rip apart and try to implement a FOSS/OSHW controller for at some point. Maybe I’ll try with that eventually, supposing I can hack together a nozzle.

    Since I didn’t have unix_surrealism posts I had to rely on my downloaded collection of Unix surrealism.

    I suppose the server has to catch up now, right? There seems to be plenty of stale discussions.

    I went to my backup instance. Now I’ll be on two for a bit I guess - I wouldn’t want to leave anyone hanging.

    I knew something was up as soon as I couldn’t vote on anything. Good to be back.

    I have decided that now is the time, finally, to read those Buffy and Angel comics.
