So apparently people do here :3

I'm Janet! I'm a queer (she/her) nerd studying computer engineering! I play around with weird projects in my free time. I have an ESXi compute cluster I made for doing weird admin-y things; Having obsessive hobbies is my life in a nutshell.

I'm also starting a devops internship this spring and I do some freelance web stuff on the side.

Feel free to @ me.

spent the last several hours of my night setting up a ppp link between two computers using their audio cards

commands involved:

minimodem -A -q --rx 9600 --confidence 2 --sync-byte 0xaa | socat stdio pty,echo=0 | minimodem -A --tx 9600 --sync-byte 0xaa

sudo pppd proxyarp mtu 1280 persist nodeflate noauth lcp-echo-interval 10 crtscts lock 10.10.1.1:10.10.1.2 /dev/pts/2 9600

Watching the dumpsterfire of dmesg -w as my array rebalances with a failed disk while listening to the doom soundtrack is a feel

Am I valid to bring a full size mechanical keyboard to work?

Meds, eating, self care ( - ) 

Me: why do I feel sad?
Me: oh because my Adderall is wearing off and I haven't eaten in 9 hours so my brain is basically dying

Going back on my meds after being off them for a couple days means I lost some of my tolerance to the side effects it seems

Politics reference 

Why am I binge watching videos of UK Parliament? I'm an American

skin, accutane, acne 

currently day two of accutane

Whoa, my skin is definitely a bit dryer

I broke out a little bit over night and I think that might be because I didn't do my usual skincare routine because of starting accutane (I'm going to be using more gentler stuff because accutane makes your skin quite fragile)

The fabled "initial breakout" is apparently much more noticeable, I'm nervous

Computerz 

Ayy I bought a deeply discounted rackmount computer case in the parking lot of a home depot today and it had some missing parts. (ebay local pickup)

Called the manufacturer and they're sending me the missing parts for free 😎

meds? (not really negative or positive, a joke) 

my brain is so used to listening to vaporwave when my adderall kicks in that I have to listen to it for my meds to feel like they're working 100% correctly

is this some sort of weird pavlovian placebo effect?

What it feel like to have been on HRT for a lil' bit now

Healthcare, Money? 

Thank god, I've hit my health insurance deductible so I'm not getting destroyed by labcorp anymore
