Flancia is the revolution against [[Moloch]].
- I will go into the [[heart of Moloch]] and strike, strike, strike them down if I have to! As I would their agents; but I would rather forgive, yet not forget; make amends, offer reparations to those we’ve hurt and those that Moloch and his (is it a he?) agents have hurt, help humanity and our friends heal and move on towards a better future.

Took down the old, empty [[ATProto]] personal data server. It took that long, but it was a simple systemctl disable pds.service --user and systemctl stop pds.service --user.
There is something beautiful about open source projects. I’ve curated [[BeepBox]] to the [[Flashpoint Archive]]. Curations are primarily meant to be playable, no matter what. But since it’s an open source project, there is bound to be plenty of ‘stuff’ to put into a curation.
Usually, I’d just clone a project’s [[Git]] repository with git clone https://github.com/johnnesky/beepbox.git --mirror, maybe [[repack it]] and stuff that in the curation as ‘bonus content.’. But software is beyond Git histories. That existence usually has a purpose. Just reading on BeepBox‘s releases on GitHub when there’s this first v0.1 release; that it made me realize: why. BeepBox is already self-preserved, even to its compiled builds and community creations. But I don’t think I would‘ve cared about pre-release .swf files, had I not been interested in the Flashpoint Archive. People should care, and now it’ll be a click away with little to no setup.
It was [[Bloxel]] day. Nothing strange happened, weirdly enough. Other than [[Bouyer]] giving a speech about its community.
And it’s weird! I have something similar to say about a fetish game that I have zero interest with. Community is always strong, no matter what it is.

It’s a bit odd that completely independently, I’m using; or have called stuff “silver.”. Including:
- The note taking software [[SilverBullet]].
- A fictional universe / corporation called [[Silver Forest]].
- A server named “Soft Silver.”.
- Think I might just need to look into [[Microsoft Silverlight]] for laughs and giggles, as is a deprecated technology.

Getting into [[felting]]? I picked up a felting kit. It seems excessively trivial for what it is.

Back here noding!
- I keep thinking that I’d like to make web noding work better for me and others, to make it more likely/easier to journal.
- But honestly what is missing for me sometimes is time 1. in front of a computer with an actual keyboard and 2. not working (for G) and 3. not coding (e.g. the Agora).
- Like meditation, maybe I’ve been doing it less than before and less than I would like to because I fail to designate a concrete time for it.
- Also -> [[zine]] :)

As I write this I’m on the train back to [[Zürich]] with my mum; we spent three very nice days together in [[Paris]].
I’m sad because of the breakup with [[KM]], and in particular because of the conflict/chastising that followed. I hope we can regain better communication soon.

Been curating some games and animations for the [[Flashpoint Archive]]. Mostly explicit works, and some open source projects I’ve discovered.
- Whatever it is, I do find it interesting to see how certain [[furry]] sub-cultures dealt with [[Adobe Flash]] at the time. Not a whole lot has changed, it seems.
  - And maybe stumble upon some drama. uh… I’d like to forget about it.
- On archival, there does seem to be a shift towards obscure content of lately. I am much late to the party from before 2020, so the popular gaming portals are already checked. But for a specific sub-culture, to say the least, might not been thoroughly checked by other curators. There are some other ‘specialists’ in their field, I know that. But open source projects strangely don’t seem to be curated as much. Curation is a bit of a two-step process: collect and annotate. For explicit media, this can become rather numbing when trying to figure out tags, or what species a character is. Flashpoint doesn’t have imageboard levels of tagging, but it can still feel overwhelming. Given the verification backlog, I’m not sure if I’m doing it right.
