Nemesis [UTC -2d4] @remotenemesis@hackers.town

Hey yo newbies on hackers.town and beyond. Permit me to #reintroduction myself if you will.

I have a 1 in 6 chance of detecting secret doors and a pick lock skill of 10%. I'm probably talking about old-school D&D and totally not #infosec.

I enjoy slinging code, especially C and sometimes C++ although I mostly golang for $daygig.

My stack of unfinished projects includes a Mastodon client for the Amiga, a side-scrolling shmup on SDL2, most of the first draft of a bad fantasy novel and so many unfinished CTFs.

I'm also the sysop of

the hackers.town experimental BBS for specifically awesome people.

Follow me for vaguely misleading PII, drunkposts about Blondie, Amiga propaganda, cutting the chord with big-tech, silicon valley snark, and a generally bad attitude about the tire-fire that is the modern web.

Rarely lewd but a bit sketchy on CWs.

Hi.

I'm overflowing with energy this morning. I want to do PROJECTS! ALL OF THEM!

​ I think I reject AAA video games because I haven't finished Zork yet.

The world should have changed in ways it didn't 25 years. Information can be copied for free. The Old Economy was crammed down our mouths by boomers with vested interested in keeping control.

Their time is ending.

Wow Mike Ashley really is a piece of human garbage.

Find you some religion.

o7 Bill Rieflin.

Bill Rieflin died :(

I feel like I'm going into robot mode.

Today has featured entirely too much meta-work.

Really looking forward to my fun group video chat this evening after my work group video chats today.

Somehow I found myself looking at pictures of anime ant girls this morning.

This is how it starts, isn't it?

Night fedi. Be excellent to each other.

I miss Ursula K Le Guin and Iain M. Banks. Wise in different ways, they saw the whole thing for what it was.

So, we'll go no more a roving
So late into the night,
Though the heart be still as loving,
And the moon be still as bright.

CNN reporting the US Military is expecting about 90 days duration:

'The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff suggested that the models show the country would “get through” the coronavirus crisis “probably late May, June, something in that range. Maybe could be as late as July.”'

35 pound fine!? Are you fucking kidding me? That's a nuisance for the well-off.

#protip defensively put your shopping cart or shopping basket behind you in the line to enforce some distance. Better with a cart if you can.

Trying to convince co-workers to start running rosetta@home....

Right now my concern is our idiot in chief is itching to turn this into a wedge issue.

Simply, the major cities and the states which contain them, which are mostly Democrat voting, are to blame for the pandemics there. Virtuous rural Red states are not to blame and so will be encourage not to lockdown because the situation is overblown by the media.

All he cares about is his fucking popularity with his toxic, bigoted, willfully-ignorant base. That and the stock market, of course.

The only announcement I want to hear from Bozo is his resignation, effective immediately.
