CAN MY FEDI INSTANCE STOP CRASHING

(it is running gotosocial which is like one of the lightest fedi servers out there. the machine it runs on is as old as a high schooler. guess the root problem)

i feel so powerful i wrote a 3 line script that takes an inputted markdown filename from the current working directory and then spits out a nicely formatted html page. pandoc does all the work i did nothing

so i had the idea of adding a page to my otherwise single page girl on the moon personal site that featured my more notable projects, but it’s been hours and i CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING TO ADD THAT I HAVEN’T ALREADY MENTIONED. i just host other people’s stuff!!!

(#axtyevq) @prologic@twtxt.net best of luck!!! discover view having no limit sounds scary oh god lol

(#axtyevq) @prologic@twtxt.net alright! i can try that… whenever i am capable of upgrading and figure out how to lol

(#va33q7a) @prologic@twtxt.net :D

(#mkhkhuq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de json and database put together sounds terrifying. i must try jenny

(#va33q7a) @bender@twtxt.net very true in both regards!!! <333 happy to see you too, i missed your silly bender icon hahha. my times could be better but things will improve i am sure of it

(#vxcckda) @bender@twtxt.net awww thank you :‘))) you all are too nice!!! i really wanted to share how i did this because i think i’m the first person to publicly attempt a production instance of dreamwidth code in docker, so i’m glad i did a good job at documenting it!!!!!!!

(#vxcckda) @movq@www.uninformativ.de HELP THIS IS GENUINELY SO SWEET THANK YOU ;_; omg i felt so nervous posting this because i was like what if i get something wrong but then i did it anyway and i felt so free… like woah i did all of this

i must stop ghosting all my social media except discord and fedi when i am depressed. ghosting is the mind killer

(#mdylu4a) @bender@twtxt.net NOOOO i self host an XMPP server and also revolt but as much as i love XMPP (gajim client reminds me of using skype as a kid highkey) i don’t use it much and revolt is a bitch to maintain. like i broke revolt file uploads and it stayed that way for months until literally last week lmao. i never bothered with matrix tbh maybe i should’ve but it seems not worth it

(#axtyevq) @prologic@twtxt.net hm would there be any loss with the re-fetch option? i wouldn’t mind either but i’d like to hold onto what i got if possible! but if it IS possible but also really annoying to do i’ll just do the re-fetch of feeds because i’m lazy af LMAO

(#va33q7a) @bender@twtxt.net been having a hard time! but i am trying to be more active <3

(#weklybq) @movq@www.uninformativ.de that is a great quote god damn

(#vxcckda) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz i did this in september but it took me this long to do the write up part lmfao

7k words of docs on deploying a livejournal folk. you absolutely want to read 7 thousand words of me forcing dreamwidth into production shape in docker https://stash.4-walls.net/selfhostdw/

(#bch4wja) @aelaraji@aelaraji.com YAYYYYYYYY

(#3myla6q) @eapl.me@eapl.me YEAHHH THEY’RE SO CUTE i got them here! https://github.com/charmbracelet/confettysh

(#3myla6q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de no no it’s ok i say it because it’s true also it’s funny to me hahah! don’t be sorry

(#3myla6q) @movq@www.uninformativ.de i’m usually depressed so when i’m doing stuff like this i guarantee it’s fueled by coffee and adderall lmao

(#tehil2q) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz should be good now! fair warning i have not checked on my own forum in forever (i am a great admin)

(#tehil2q) @bender@twtxt.net OH NOOOOOOO LEMME CHECK THE CONTAINER

oh out of boredom yesterday i made my blog available via markdown files too so you can use charmbracelet/glow to read them in your terminal :)

basically i just set up a file directory on a path of my blog, organized the MD files by year, and so in theory you can navigate to that path and choose a folder, then copy a link to a markdown post and run this:

glow -p https://bubblegum.girlonthemoon.xyz/md/2025/2025-03-31%20premature%20reflections%20on%20sudden%20responsibility.md

and then as long as you have glow installed, you can read my posts from the terminal :D it’s so cool

(#3myla6q) @kat@yarn.girlonthemoon.xyz these are my little SSH services by the way - a git server and then some fun stuff!

guys omg the people behind pico.sh are so nice ;_; one of the people running it emailed me to let me know i had what was likely a malfunctioning (or well, not working as intended) script that was spawning the same SSH tunnel over and over and they wanted to give me a heads up.

and i felt SO BAD because i worried i was straining their service or something so i disabled my 4 tunnels (they were serving little SSH games and services) and got back to them.

but i just woke up to THE NICEST EMAIL EVER reassuring me that i was actually using it as intended, it was just my script that was having problems, and they even said that if it was intended to work that way it was fine and they just wanted to let me know!

so i restarted the tunnels but have since added lockfiles as safeguards so that when the script is run it’ll check if it’s already running :D
