  • Met [[Brigitta]].
• Also finally got the new [[coop cloud]] container based setup for the Agora working, with help from [[3wc]] and [[decentral1se]]!

One of the particularities of writing about [[Flancia]] is that it seems to require a certain commitment, a belief in the feasibility of facts in possible futures.

• Later after midnight, I commit violence against my [[Vaultwarden]] vault and rotated the key, resulting in some items on my personal vault to be missing permanently, so I do some recovery madness before I shoot my foot and nuke the personal vault for good.
  • I also take the liberty of safekeeping the backups on a Gitpod workspace until I could dump them into [[recaptime.dev]]‘s Storj DCS bucket.
  • It’s still a bit of pain to have data loss happen, maybe because of TBD.

• Are there any [[openings]] in the middle that can be [[owned]] exclusively given current [[means]]?
• [[Change]] [[angles]], go [[around]], [[under]], or [[over]].
• What [[game]] has unlimited ([[nonlinear]]) upside?
• Where do you get to [[play]] by different [[rules]] from your [[competition]]?
• People [[worried]] about cults are mostly that way because they’ve already bought into a very big cult, and [[fear]] accidentally falling into a losing [[cult]].
• Nothing increases [[confidence]] like [[doing]] the thing you do.
• ‘[[People]] like us [[grow]]‘ may be the [[tribe]] to [[find]]. collapsed:: true
  • People like us [[spread]].
• Feeling an affinity for the [[Tomahawk]]. The modern Tomahawk is a hybrid between Native American [[stone]] axes and English & French Naval boarding [[axes]]. Beautiful that it came back into American use in every [[war]], even against Army regulation at times.
• Demigodhood is about the [[followers]], not the [[leader]]. A graceful leader accepts that [[place]], no matter the [[risk]].
• The easiest way to get into a [[mind]] is to be [[first]] at something.
• [[People]] only [[accept]] [[information]] that [[fits]] with their [[present]] state of [[mind]].
• If you don’t re-arrange your [[life]] to put the things most [[important]] to you [[first]], someone else will make what is only a little important to them most important for you.
• All the elements of an [[ad]] are to get you to read the [[first]] sentence of the [[copy]]. collapsed:: true
  • What [[fits]] this [[buy]]ing [[environment]]?
  • [[People]] are more likely to [[share]] things that came to them when their [[heart]] rate was up.
  • Your [[diction]] summons a certain environment. Use the environment that [[fits]] the [[sell]].
• [[Community]] and arbitrary [[authority]] are a [[zero-sum]] [[game]].
• [[Resistance]] and high [[tension]] are signs of high [[potential]] [[energy]].
• Keep [[lines]] of [[attack]] [[clear]].
• Given that [[The Arena]] gets about $4 in [[profit]] for each [[sale]], 5000 books need to be [[sold]] to afford translators.
• "Tinier always means faster." [[timing]] [[speed]] [[scale]]

• The beginning of the day in UTC is the end of the day local time
• I set the date to UTC for technical reasons but I kinda like that it switches the same for everyone regardless of the timezone. I always thought it was weird that people had to operate at different timezones because of sunlight. I mean it’s not weird it’s just inconvenient for a worldwide system
• I’m currently writing this on a street car that loops the downtown metro area to kill time. I can’t check into the shelter I’m staying at until 9pm and the library closes at 6pm so I usually have to find a way to kill time in the evenings
• It’s Monday morning here and I called my bank to see why my account was closed. It turns out that one of the accounts linked to my login has been negative for greater than 45 days so they closed the account. Apparently this means that they disable the login for all the accounts because capitalism. Once I get a payment come through I’m planning on paying off the negative balance of the now-closed account so I can regain access to my bank login. Yay capitalism
• I got accepted into a nice shelter funded by the county. I have my own private room and they’re going to assign me a case manager. I have my laptop now with a private locker to store it in so I can work on more open source projects.
• I’m really grateful that I have so many things going for me. I’ve seen some things out here that will forever change how I view my own circumstances.
