- 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 [[Journal/2026-05-29|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](https://github.com/johnnesky/beepbox/releases/tag/v0.1); 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.
