EXCITING “hikari runs her own instance” UPDATE!!!

my server ran out of disk space again and THIS time it took the database with it! i just had to restore the state of my server to what it was four days ago (last backup). four days of posts… gone. luckily none of them were good posts 😌

but now we're back. we're so back. or whatever. total downtime less than an hour probably? :p

conspiracy theory: the unexpected shutdown of nordstream 1 on 2022-08-31 was created artificially by time travellers who did not want to stop the explosions from 26 days later but needed to somehow prevent the collapse of the european energy market that happened in their timeline

holy shit, a C/C++ compiler for Vulkan that supports graphics features and doesn't disallow function pointers

it's extremely cool. i feel that kind of envy about it that comes from familiarity with the problem domain and wishing i'd had the ambition

the idea of opening a prediction market on my own life is ridiculous. so of course, i did it https://manifold.markets/h2a06f/in-what-country-will-hikarinoyume-l

i don't want to bias the outcome but there is a reason i left the poll options open. how well do you think you know me. do you think you can lure me elsewhere
