maple "mavica" syrup [6502] @mavica_again@computerfairi.es

i made a bit of a post (no new developments) on the gizmo here as well https://forums.transbian.love/?page=thread&id=217

anyway if you want to hit me up elsewhere, maybe join a retro tech group on discord, DM me

i'm going to try staying off here for a few days

being here isn't going to help me achieve what i want.

i think this is the crux of the issue for me. i want the things i do to become more popular. i do not want, particularly, to be a popular person. i have often conflated the two before (or, at least, people have conflated it for me)

i mean, releasing things into the world to a resounding silence hurts like hell

but at least i don't have to answer to anybody else's ideal of me

you know what, i'm glad i'm unpopular

this place is making me miserable.

mind you this is a difficult thought for me because - ha, isn't it ironic that i'm distilling my thoughts in it right here right now - for as little friends and many enemies i have here right now, to outright abandon it will mean a gross (as in scale) shift in my social life

but i'm starting to think it could be one for the better

it's not like i can use this for discoverability any more than i could twitter anyway. i don't think anyone who doesn't already know me wants to find me

i have been in one way or another "microblogging" since 2010 - for 15 years now.

for the first time i'm giving actual, serious thought about stopping. because i think the past 15 years have mostly happened on autopilot

@nico i don't like having to use caps either but i think the cleaner intersection of lines in the second one is more legible, fwiw

i was thinking of upgrading computer fairies to chuckya

i am no longer thinking about that

honestly i am once again thinking about quitting the fediverse

i did this because i'm a freak who likes to use browsers too old to support SNI

(of which i was unaware of until like last week)

today i finally condensed down like 16 separate subdomain certificates into a single one that's a wildcard for every single one of my domains

(and most my websites are available in http anyway)

(google's https-everywhere was a mistake)

@atax1a BOINChits

is this anything
