• Thought and discussed some more about the [[Bitwäscherei Agora]] :)
• I was going to return tonight to Zürich but I decided to stay one extra night and go to work straight from Ebnat-Kappel, work the second half of the day. I have multiple months of vacation saved up so I thought it was a good thing to self-gift (?) :)
• I met so many interesting people for the first time! Some that come to mind right away:
  • Ananda
  • Taras
  • Kim
  • Ting
  • Stefan
  • Markus
  • Monika
  • Adam
  • and many more!
  • Thank you all! (also all the people I already knew but got to know a lot better during this opportunity!)
  • Claire showed us a tarot of the future! Name incoming :)

• I’m writing this in [[Homemade]] just after hosting a discussion about the Commons and the [[Agora]]. It was great!
  • The whole three days here so far have been great; I am thankful for the experience.
  • The first day I came over with [[KM]] and [[David]], they stayed one night. We had a beautiful walk in the vicinity with an imposing view of the Alps.
  • Yesterday night I worked on setting up a local Agora for the [[Bitwäscherei]] space in Zürich, which [[SGMK}] is a part of.
  • Tomorrow I leave. I am looking forward to the last night and the last day — I plan to head bac kto Zürich, probably walking down the mountain to the train station, around 5-6PM on [[2026-07-28]].
  • I am writing this without really reading the screen, after a new friend of mine perhaps, while I watch a movie I don’t quite understand that is exclusively in German without subtitles :)
  • So these notes might be more disjointed and potentially lillegible than usual, although my standards are quite low many days, and to be honest maybe even rough unedited (even unseen) notes are better than no notes! And no notes has been the general standard in the last few months!

And then I thought about the [[zine]].

(I wished I could write to [[bouncepaw]] here, right here when I’m writing these notes, and then I realized this was possible. It is literally what I’m doing right now :) -> Wrote in Telegram.)

Today in the conversation associated with the [[Agora presentation]] (and thank you Simon!) [[dusjagr]] shared an LLM generated [[zine]] It didn’t quite work when we tried it (it was a demo, after all!) but I liked the idea and realization already a lot. It is a zine that is generated based on the content of some wikis that the LLM is aware of!

-> [[zine generator]] https://weiweiweiopen.github.io/peach-blossom-spring/

[[dusjagr]] also shared a beautiful tool to visualize [[timelines]] of [[the lifecycle of wikis]], e.g.

I met many interesting people this weekend! So many. I feel very lucky indeed!

• [[twg bugs]]

• [[Simon]] told me about [[Stiftung für direkte Demokratie]]!

• Hosting [[Wafrn]]. https://wafrn.bunnynabbit.com/blog/BunnyNabbit
  • [[gabboman]] said it’s possible for existing PDSes to be used, but recommends using the one that comes with Wafrn. Decided to use it anyways since my previous PDS setup was weird and had issues, might as well replace it.
  • Raised an issue about a setup script.
  • Few nit picks.
    • [...] is always added to the end of blurbs no matter how short, breaking my link at the end.
    • Under different protocols and interfaces, the woot composer is inherently with flaws for its previews.
• Take previous PDS offline.

• [[Wafrn]] seems interesting. I’ve heard of it before. But found out that it does accept migrations from existing [[ATProto]] accounts. https://wafrn.net/faq/AccountMigration.html#atproto-waf
  • I was under the assumption that Wafrn used its own PDS software. It does not. This does potentially make it trivial to integrate with an existing self-hosted PDS? Will need to ask questions before hosting a wafrn.

  • [[Caddy]]‘s file server cannot read from /home if it runs as a systemd service.¹ It was reading /home fine until the server had to be rebooted by its server host. I wouldn’t know why it was working fine before.
    • The related issue also caused problems with how Caddy wrote logs, which in turn prevented Caddy from serving. Again, not sure why, seemed like the process user root was changed to caddy.
      • The fix was deleting the log file.
    • The website content of the spacious nexus couldn’t be served by Caddy. As a quick fix, I copied the content to a place where Caddy can read.
• configure quartz to write to new place, or move it idk. Set Quartz to output to a different directory by using the --output flag.

Algún día, algún día
Algún día haremos la [[revolución]]

Pero si no ahora: cuándo?
Si no ahora [[cuándo]]?

Gone gone
Gone beyond
Everybody gone to the other shore

Gone free
Gone kindly

If you have to go, go free
Go awake

Meditate

¡Agua, agua, agua!
Agua para los sedientos

Sal para los hipotensos
Pan (o Flan...) para los hambrientos

Fuego para los que tienen frío
Techo para los desamparados

Luz para los que leen
Ágora para los que escriben

Libertad para los oprimidos:
¡Libertad, libertad, libertad!

    What? There’s not many vanity addresses I can find in a reasonable time, and I just needed a few extra vanity addresses for… something. I am yet to decide on what exactly.

• Reading on the [[Agora]]. I’m noticing a few conventions that I should use.
  • People keep notes about other people. They do so by having a sub-node named after them.
    • Most likely, I would be noded as [[BunnyNabbit]]. However, my most relevant self-profile is currently noded as About me. I should change that, as is convention with other self-profiles. I hate breaking links, so I’ll use aliases to create redirects. For the standard.site documents, my tooling doesn’t detect moved files, so likely I’ll update it with a frontmatter field to indicate a record key override.
      • Move About me.md to BunnyNabbit.md, preserving the original title of About me.
      • Create the record key override feature for standard replicator.
      • Open source [[standard replicator]]. I think it serves a purpose by restricting itself to not modify source files.
  • I mentioned on [[Journal/2026-05-29]] that certain parts of the [[agora protocol]] feels alienating outside of the agora. I think that only applies to [[go links]] and [[pulling]]? Apparently, there are alternative methods of [[pushing]] that don’t require the push keyword. In which [[Journal/2026-06-21]] triggered a push to [[drawn]], serving a collection of drawings.

  • So I will try to remember and make more time for it.
  • I think part of the issue, if there is one issue in particular that explains most of it, is the fact that I don’t really have a lot of time 1. free and 2. in front of my personal (project) computer, which is where I do most of the writing here; and when I do, coding competes with writing for that same time; and when I do write, often I end up writing private responses to e.g. messages and emails instead of writing in my garden like this.
  • In any case, onwards and upwards!
  • Life has been great thankfully. I continue to live happily with [[Lady Burup]], hl a great time with lovely [[KM]], and since last week my mum is visiting for the summer which I was looking forward to!
