    Unfortunately in our current election system, voting for the lesser evil is what we have to do.

    Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote strategically in the end. So is the curse of our first past the post voting system.

    And do what you can to help get the people who want to do positive change in your local elections into office. The only path to ranked choice voting is getting enough support in the states, there’s very little chance we’ll get it on the national stage without it becoming a reality on the state level.


  • Bit of a silly question:

    I got quite the overkill server‡ for free‡‡ a little while ago and I’ve been struggling to find stuff to do with it

    What kind of stuff do you self host?

    Basically all I’ve got currently is TrueNAS Scale running on mine and it feels like a bit of a waste just running that.

    ‡ My server is from 2012 but it’s got dual hexacore Xeons (can’t recall exact model), 192GB of RAM, and about 40 TB of storage in Raid-Z2. The storage came from my old crusty NAS, I didn’t get that for free.

    ‡‡ Well mostly free, I was told I could have it if I got it out of they’re garage which took about 2 days.



  • I’m primarily on my Blahaj account but I’m currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.

    Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks

    Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.





  • Picture an 4 way intersection.

    For me every single car just went about their way all willy nilly like it was nothing.

    Occasionally a semi hauling triple trailers flys through grinding every else to a halt when everyone is trying to get through.

    There’s no order, the lights don’t work, and almost no one wants to yield.

    The cars were ideas, things I saw, and things I needed to do. The semi is my latest hyper obsession. The non functional traffic lights were my ability to regulate my thoughts.

    When I took my meds it was like the lights started working suddenly. At first they were really strict, one car at a time like a highway on ramp. But then things amped down a bit as I got more used to the meds. I even went up to 60mg atomoxetine from 40mg where I started as things ramped too close to chaos again.

    I hope that made sense.




  • For me I have the urge to stand up but I can’t bring myself to on many occasions and beat myself up about for too long.

    It’s gotten easier to stand up about things since I started taking meds.

    In fact thinking back on it since I started my meds I’ve stood up almost every time.

    Honestly life has gotten so much easier and better since then it’s kinda crazy.

    I wish I had gotten around to scheduling the appointment sooner.
