I’m better than everyone else
I’m proud of my kid for being a great kid, and I’m proud of myself for being a great parent.
being slightly taller than my surroundings
My kid refusing to talk to cops
It’s kinda astounding how much copaganda is targeted specifically at kids. I mean, well, it makes sense but holleeeee
Yeah, Paw Patrol is pervasive, and the schools all bring cops in to talk to the kids. Meet the dogs
I’m learning more and more about bicycles each day. Learning to service, modify and customize them has given me a lot. I love my little rust heap, it’s serving me well.
I just hope winter won’t eat away at it.
My bike at this point is the ship of Theseus and when people ask where they can get one, I don’t really have an answer.
Mine is slowly turning to one.
what my buddy brad’s doing
What is he doin
Over the past year or so, I’ve had a project with a friend to motorize a Dobsonian telescope and have it ready by the eclipse of August 2026 in Spain so we could use it at night for looking at a bunch of cool stuff like nebulae and Saturn and whatnot. Well, we fucking made it! If anybody wants to motorize a telescope using OnStepX (open source project) I have a lot of input lmao

It was super cool pressing “go to Saturn” on the phone and having the telescope point itself to the planet. Pretty proud of that. Working together with a friend on a project is some of the best fun I’ve ever had
HOLY SHIT, THAT’S AMAZING
Thanks!! I’m thinking my next project should be an open source metal detector, I’m so excited about the idea and I haven’t seen anything similar.
whoaa that’s cool af
Sick, dude! Working with a friend on that project too would have been super rewarding ☺️
People feel safe with me.
When I open up about my dad people often say things like “how the hell did someone like you come from someone like that?”.
Incredible quality to have
I can probably count on one finger the number of people in my life I could say I feel 100% ‘safe’ around
I just troubleshot three separate issues over like five hours to get emulation and especially my xbox controller running on my thinkpad. I hopped distros and learned a fair bit more about linux in the process. The big bogeyman issue ended up being with secure boot - i didn’t have to do like any of the shit I did, but I did get everything working and I feel accomplished.
The real [fixed xbox controller on the thinkpad] we made was the [troubleshooting niche distros] we made on the way
i started school again, and it’s hard but fun :)
Congratulations! What will you be studying if you don’t mind me asking? (You can be vague if you like/need)
My wife
He’ll yeah
despite an absolutely crushing year where i lost more people close to me than i could count, i’m somehow still going and making a better life for myself instead of hiding behind the bottle like i’ve done before so many times
o7 o7 o7 estradoll my goat
My garden and spoiling my chickens.
Spoil em rotten!
Sometimes you just take a huge shit to be proud of. I’m not even joking
Surviving against all odds
