techie burnout, extreme introvert, confused nerd, trans woman [she/her]
#introductions hi! I'm kate.
I'm a techie burnout, interested in security, software dev, and privacy.
I do things on Windows others find absurd and like to mess around with Linux networking and containers.
I love to road trip and travel, have very eclectic music tastes, and am not much of a video game player.
I'm some sort of nonbinary transfemme [pronouns: she/her or they/them] living in Ohio, USA, described by others as "left-leaning", with opinions on healthcare and infrastructure.

I think I'm going to delete my Gmail account soon: https://www.wikihow.com/Delete-and-Recover-a-Gmail-Account
while keeping the Google account and various data, subscriptions, etc.
it's going to be a huge pain
@techfury hey you need a cool avi!
Best #vintagecomputing media format ever. Fuck Zip drives, this is where it's at. Weak Zip only uses magnetic fields. This uses magnets AND lasers! Specifically, lasers to fry the material to 400C so that a magnetic field can alter the magnetic polarization and simultaneously change the reflected wavelength of the material. HOW BADASS IS THAT?!?!?!
a few days ago i changed the hostname on an Ubuntu system to the emoji 💅. just restarted systemd-networkd to see if it will try to get a DHCP lease.
it doesn't have addresses anymore. i ended up connecting via iKVM before realizing the system is accessible via IPv6 LL at least! here's how the console looks
what's my spirit emoji?
@calvin “our new owners stopped repackaging open source products with malware installers, so come on back!”
Dell firmware doesn't want to set an emoji asset tag (🍷)
or maybe the Windows utility didn't set it correctly
i wonder what will break in bad ways if i feed it emoji? (a few things do for sure)
don't tell me what I can't do!
hey, you can use emoji for linux network device names!
@cypnk I do all my prototyping with lighttpd, python -m http.server, or a bare Node instance, whichever's handy. It shouldn't take multiple person-days to pick a web server!
hmm
I should test emails with emoji in the domains
problem: I can't charge my phone and use the Lightning headset the phone came with at the same time, so my phone's battery is now dying
I'm trying to have a video call while screen sharing a game with audio. Haven't found a single application to do this well yet...
a working solution:
* for webcam: Discord
* for screen and game audio sharing: Hangouts (audio
captured through stereo mix recording device)
* for voice: Signal phone call on iPhone, with earbuds underneath my PC headset
I like the idea of having another /usr hierarchy in ~/.local
