So, I am a committee member in an infosec-focused student society, and I am going to be doing a talk next Wednesday. This is to be called "Brave GNU World" and (as the name suggests) it's about FOSS and the free software movement. We've had some great talks recently, and I want this to be engaging (my previous attempts have been successful). I plan to focus on some of the more entertaining details of FOSS, while also conveying the whole picture. Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I'll go through Winter thinking I don't suffer from seasonal depression, then see a single ray of sunshine at the start of March and feel as if I've just been resurrected.

I’ve finally gone and done it. After four years of daily-driving Arch (in various forms), I’ve bid farewell to that familiar blue triangle in favour of a purple magatama...

Just done some maintenance on all of my sites, so everything is up-to-date and properly-written. Now all I need to do is actually think of something to write.

And now, in addition to Slackware on my T400, I now have a working installation of NixOS on my T480s (my daily driver). Two down, three to go!

Thanks to a blog post by ~solderpunk and the presence of ImageMagick on my pubnix, all of my weirdcore art (apart from the animated works) is now under 32K in size! Honestly, I'd say the lower JPEG quality actually adds to the vibe of the images: something from the early web, taken permanently out of context and long forgotten.

I have a late-2010s ThinkPad running OpenBSD, but it's about as fast as a snail carrying heavy shopping through molasses. I'd like to run something other than Linux, for variety, but the other members of the BSD family failed for various reasons. What OS do you guys think I should try? Note: The machine in question has 8GB of RAM and an SSD. UPDATE: I am now running Slackware with Window Maker. However, further suggestions are still appreciated.

Ready to Kill — I wrote a new poem. A fair bit darker than my previous work, but warranted.

So much stuff to put away, so much time, so little willpower... Moving house is a bitch.

Descant Public Licence 1.1 — Hey, I made a new licence, this time for music (or I suppose any sort of audio). Unlike last time (Anti-Harm License 1.0, aka AHL), this licence doesn't include specific "illegal" uses of the media. Also unlike last time, I'm not going to delete the license from existence. If anyone has a problem with it, tell me what exactly I should do better, and I will do a point release....

Trued to fix my sleep schedule again. Managed to give myself jet lag without leaving my flat.

Is anyone else's sleep schedule so fucked that they didn't notice the hour change?

Why the fuck did nobody tell me about the drunk rollercoaster hallucination thing‽‽‽ Like, this should have come up either in conversation or on Tumblr *years* before I started drinking.

Me at the function, looking up various types of rats and mice on Wikipedia because they're cute and I can't hear a word anyone's saying.

Random question. I'm planning to buy a new laptop for uni, since I've just broken my ten-year-old MacBook. I have decided on a ThinkPad T450, but I need some help deciding on the hostname. On one hand, since it's a ThinkPad, I could call it Amethyst-II (my T400 is called Amethyst). On the other hand, since it's replacing my MacBook, I could call it Pearl-III (the MacBook was called Pearl-II, and my first MacBook was just called Pearl). What do you think?

What a frightening limbo. Autumnal enough to call it Autumn; yet not Autumnal enough to start playing "1979" by the Smashing Pumpkins.

I keep seeing all of this injustice and corruption everywhere I look. I always thought that I'd feel better once I turned 18 and would be able to vote and drink and stuff; but I still feel as powerless as ever. I sometimes have dreams about randomly catching a train to London and doing something practical; but that's pretty damn unrealistic. What the fuck can I do to make things better?
