Snowflake Challenge 2024: challenge 4 

fur the fourth challenge of , we have been asked to do an icebreaker of some form

as a start, i looked at the [random question generator] suggested on dreamwidth and was struck by the question:

What's something about you today that the old you would find surprising?

because, like, it’s a lot. i have rejected a very large number of rules i held myself and others to as a kit (i was very judgemental, which has not exactly stopped being true,); kit!me would genuinely be horrified at who i’ve become. which is good, frankly, but lol

to answer the question, i don’t really feel like trying to enumerate the specifics but i’ll if you reply asking fur specifics, i’ll tell you one. we’ll make a game of it i guess

Snowflake Challenge 2024: challenge 3 

the furst things that come to mind when it comes to what i wish to see in fandom are fics that would help me realize my goals. in that vein, fur , i have the following (maybe not all) little wishes:

  • i would love to see stories (fanfic or not) about lesbians falling in love in ways that are cute
  • i really need to do this research myself but i want to find interesting criticism of the sonic movies beyond just what the mainstream press has to say about them. (in purrticular, i am very curious if any of my own (frankly pretty straightfurward!) criticisms have already been made elsewhere)
  • as a corollary to the above, i really would like to see a review/analysis/whatever that meaningfully helps explain into what exactly about sonic 2 made so many fans like it so much

re: pokémon concierge 

@Lady @Satsuma 95 is right in that border where i don’t really know which generation is accurate fur me but too real regardless

re: pokémon concierge 

@Lady i assume you've already started (or finished?) but if you ever wanna stream it i'd be down

re: pokémon concierge 

@Lady been interested in watching it

@monorail we're still in some awkward hybrid of 3.5 and 4.x over here; ny'all could be doing worse

@monorail is the joke that they were on good terms as far the the historical record shows us

unsolicited suggestion re: useful extra things re: trivial unit files fur systemd 

@MindmeshLink an arguable cheat is ExecStart=fish -c "[whatever the venv command is, i furget]; exec [final command]. i think that should work

useful extra things re: trivial unit files fur systemd 

@MindmeshLink

  • under the service section, WorkingDirectory=/path/to/desired/working/directory; if your script picks up configs from the current directory this will make setup simpler
  • to run as a user who is not root, User=username, in the same section
  • if needed, you can specify as many Environment="ENV_VAR=whatever" lines as required under that same section
  • (you can also specify an environment file with EnvironmentFile=/path/to/file; the syntax is in VAR="contents" furmat)

trivial unit files fur systemd 

@MindmeshLink the trivial systemd script fur daemons that are Just A Purrocess You Simply Run From The Command Line is

$ cat /etc/systemd/system/my-unit-name.service
[Unit]
Description=name of this service

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

[Service]
Type=simple
ExecStart=[command line here (you can use spaces)]

# the following make systemd automatically re-up the service every time it downs, which is usually desirable behavior
Restart=always
RestartSec=1 # you usually want some throttling in case it keeps exiting immediately

then run systemctl daemon-reload, and then systemctl enable my-unit-name.service (.service is optional). use systemctl status my-unit-name.service if you want confurmation that it worked fine.

standard output and error should automatically get logged to the systemd journal; you can view that output with journalctl -u my-unit-name.service

re: roman numerals?
