I am bad at social media because I don't have the right personality for it and never will; do you feel the same way?

I was not made to read 2000 tweets per hour meant to enrage me for clicks and post every 20 minutes. I'm an ancient little thing that only tells my tales by the campfire once a week.

yeah i prefer neocities to social media. like a lot of people seem so confrontional on social media. while neocities has some features borrowed from social media, the environment feels less hostile and more cozy, probably because people are more focused on coding their websites

Wrote Git Bundles section in Git article, with scripts for 'piling' a base bundle, followed by a chain of incremental bundles into a local repository, as well as a demo script for Git Bundles (which is also a practical example of most of the other stuff previously covered in the article).

Looking forward to reading more...1. To be honest, most human-created land borders have always been arbitrary to me. The only distinctions that actually make practical sense are ecological (e.g.: "bioregion", "climate zone", etc.), because different areas require different forms of care, ways of sustainably integrating human activity into that environment.

2. I also find physical human characteristics (e.g.: "race", sex, etc.) as mostly arbitrary when it comes to getting along. All humans share fundamental needs to some extent. We should be working together to fulfill them, but many people attach themselves to labels like "nationality" and want to war over "natural resources" and abstractions like "power" and "money".

3. The only things that seem to distinguish human beings from one another in any meaningful way are their languages and histories/experiences. And not in the sense of one being "more" or "less" than any other, but in the sense that those differences have the potential to inhibit communication between them. By learning one another's language(s) and being open to dialogue, we can find the common ground.

4. Upon that shared foundation, we can finally build a decent quality of life for all with harm to none if we so choose. In other words, the more that we realize point #2 above, the more that we can intentionally work together on point #1, but point #3 has to happen first.

thank you for reading what little I put out, and I appreciate your thoughts and input, all of which have been put into consideration. I will need to deconstruct the concept of nationality in particular somewhere along the way but I can only write, like, three paragraphs a day before I burn myself out 🫩

Added snapshotting helper script for stopping a program, updating a BTRFS snapshot of its state, and starting it back up again. Designed with Bitcoin Nodes in mind, to prevent reindexes and coindb rebuilds after poorly timed power outages and similar, but usable for any program.

Brilliant quote. I'm curious what the source is. Many people seem to worship the trivial, take for granted the practical, and still miss that every life is priceless.

can't confirm but I think it's Stephen Jay Gould. I read it (or a variation of it) from another source that I can't remember a long time ago and it has stuck in my mind ever since

You're right on it. After a quick search: It is at the end of Chapter 13 "Wide Hats and Narrow Minds" of Stephen Jay Gould's book "The Panda's Thumb: More Reflections in Natural History". This, in turn, is the second out of a ten volume anthology of essays taken from the "This View of Life" column that he wrote for Natural History magazine.

The essay itself has to do with some racist and sexist history behind attempts to correlate "intelligence" with brain size and other bodily characteristics (particularly the work of Pierre Paul Broca and Edward Anthony Spitzka). Generally, by seeing oneself as "more" and others as "less", one can then rationalize "rewarding" the former and "punishing" the latter.
