I am wanting to write a post about the music albums I listened to this year. There aren't many (6) so I don't think it will be worth the effort of re-listening in order to write a competent review.
The last 3 years have been filled with silence and the occasional podcast to stimulate my brain. I try to listen to whole albums. Listen 1 is new information, listen 2 is a deeper listening, listen 3 is for enjoyment, and on listen 4+ the track skipping begins. When I find myself skipping tracks I stop listening to the album because there is no new information to be gleaned. At listen 5+ the music becomes annoying and, frustratingly, loathsome.
The ability to listen to music constantly no matter the context is an entirely foreign concept. I do not understand how others accomplish this feat while maintaining sanity.
For me, it's silence.
Added a usbc -> usba adapter and a wireless USB keyboard to the android based shitposting stack.

Really, I find myself spending more time AFK and touch screen keyboards are too inaccurate and slow to reliably record ideas with a half life of 5 seconds.
I remember when soylent launched. Although it is posible to power a human using exclusively industrial chemicals, the state of California will never be happy about it.
DIY nutrient slop also exists. Many recipes exist and can be found at www.completefoods.co
I am currently thinking about the possibility of a potato based diet supplemented with vitamin tablets, minerals, and amino acids.
I don't think I ever actually wrote something about this. I need to write a post about this. The only reason I didn't is because I didn't want to mess with the Linuxulator on FreeBSD and, later, because I didn't want to attempt to build Proton bridge from source. On linux, it seems to work file.
I might try to build it again on {free,open}bsd to try to remember what the issue was.
Here are a list of ports <1024 that are not associated with any service:

Methodology:
1. get a list of ports from
/etc/services
2. get a list of ports from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_TCP_and_UDP_port_numbers
3. use seq to make a list of numbers from 0 to 1024
4.
$ cat seq-nums services wiki | sort -n | uniq -u
Rubber duck debugging except the duck is vim. A title change might be in order. Possibly "'Roll-Your-Own' Webring".
Possible requirements:
- real hardware or vps, rented or owned
- proof of domain ownership (a bs dns record would work)
- proof you have root on the server (I can't figure this one out)
- 1 year of site activity (so you are already invested)
- tell the OS and why you chose it
- describe the server stack and why you chose it
- include any additional daemons running on the system
Considering:
- badges (for lack of a better term)
- for founders (this will be contested)
- for each daemon you are running beyond httpd (ie gopher, tor, i2pd, email, xmpp, etc)
- for custom code (ie "Custom SSG" or "Custom server side scripts")
- for custom daemons you wrote yourself (ie custom finger, gopher, httpd, etc)
- git managed
- can't^won't self host git because a git forge is useless without other users
- probably gitlab
- no actual server code included in the repo, only member site data (debatable)
If not badges, at least create a data field specifically for various services. Badges would create an arbitrary sense of accomplishment and encourage users to host more things in the hopes that their websites do not end up in the equivalent of neocities graveyard.
I am now storing a .sql file instead of the actual sqlite3 database. Makefile rules to dump/resilver the database have been added. This should be nicer to git.

The problem: figure out maximum discharge amps. Potential solutions include: splice in a multimeter, run the drill until the battery dies and do math. My initial solution was to take apart the battery pack to see if the cells indicate anything. They were all soldered together inside of an internal plastic housing. I did not want to destroy this battery because it is still functional.

V: 18

It would be wise to have the option to slowly titrate up the amperage to avoid an electrical fire. I'm sure I'm not the first person to do this.
Certain cordless power tools do not have an official option to replace the battery with a cable. The ability to do this effectively turns the tool into a corded tool. I might look into building custom power supplies for said tools. This could probably be accomplished with commodity hardware and a couple of cheap, sacrificial Chinese bootleg batteries. An inline circuit breaker would be extremely useful to prevent repeated trips to the breaker box. No other useful features immediately come to mind.
I forgot to link to the tagmap page. I might change the font scaling to be 100+(percent of tags that are this tag)%.

Behold, the solution to the American public transportation issue: Hi-Rail vehicles. Hydraulic rams, steering lockout, and some system to do data transfer between the ECU to automatically set a speed entirely solves my disdain for and disillusionment in relation to driving without forcing me into a crowded box with the dredges of American society.
A more optimal solution would be passenger trains with a ticket cost at ~$0.15/mile (comparable to gasoline prices in an efficient car) so that overcrowding does not occur. At these prices, only the most sleep deprived would actually consider it. This will never happen. I will continue to pray for the pipe dream of Hi-Rail automated highways.

Not everything must have a use case. We are allowed to have fun things.
Using a makefile to write new posts. I'm almost surprised my checks to kill the script if the SAPI != "cli" even works with this many layers of scripts calling scripts calling scripts.
Makefile:
new:
php -r 'include "sqlite.php"; new_post();'
I wanted to keep it as simple as possible bit I realized I only had two choices: write clean code that does not scale or buckle and use a real database. Descent. Delusion even. I am not having fun with PDO.
Currently, I am typing the entire html that will get me to the asset I want. I may or may not modify the post creation script to prompt for media type before inserting it into a boilerplate line of html.
