my presence was prophesied

whenever i see kopimi as a term (cc @xj9 ) i think of the "copy me" breakdown in this destroyed missy elliot song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agm3NLaqeKk #theStudio

my brain effectively always feels worn raw - like it is a wire that has lost its protective coating. taking a step away from things and disabling notifications on everything that i can right now, which is a tricky prospect for some reasons, but hopefully will give me some space to breathe and allow for some actual healing that i seem to have been unable to get for a while #theVent

here is a small writeup for it: https://timeflayer.com/9/nntp.txt

and now i shall stop filling your timeline with nntpfs content for the time being

after a bit of tweaking (didn't realize that News expected a from:, which it didn't put by default), successfully reading and writing nntp within acme :)

ok - i also only discovered that acme has a built-in News reader which is quite similar to the mail interface. you can see an example of setting it up in /acme/news/guide, working on figuring out some difficulties with /sending/ mail but so far it reads ok!

oh i forgot to mention - on first connect, tlsclienttunnel will probably complain about the cert if you don't have the cert added yet, so just:

echo 'x509 sha256=(whatever tlsclienttunnel complained about)' > /sys/lib/tls/news

if anyone else is trying to get plan9's nntpfs(4) working through tls and authentication, try something like:

tlsclienttunnel tcp!your.news.site!563 tcp!*!119 /sys/lib/tls/news
nntpfs -a your.local.ip

in this case, the credentials you want to use should have 'service=nntp server=your.local.ip' in factotum. #plan9

this works! but i want to make a nicer interface - will probably try to copy however Mail works and iterate up to something nice.

also yesterday i saw this lovely statue "timberwolf"

finding interesting things on the sidewalk constantly is one way God rewards me for trying to be a good person imo

why bother buying books when i routinely find stuff like this on the sidewalk in brooklyn

every time i explain touhou to someone who doesnt know what touhou is i feel like an albino cave lizard

less internetty people get really hung up on whether or not they are like 'really a furry' and its funny to me because it is a totally opt-in identity, you are one if you want to be one

but basically many people i am friends with seems to really enjoy anthro art and the like when shown it and goes off to look it up on their own

i don't know what this means! the end. no moral
