  October Rent: $0/1000 Welp... it's that time of month again, of course. Still unemployed, still without consistent income, and my health continues to be a mixed bag. I don't know how much help I'll be able to get from my family still, and I'm assuming the answer is "very, very little." Any amount helps keep me and my partner afloat and housed while I try to get employed and become financially stable again. Applied for new jobs with the utility, but was auto-rejected f...

  blegh... need to do the whole eating thing but my partner and I are flat broke to get anything & I'm rapidly hitting the "i am falling apart" stage (it does not help that I've been awake basically all night after a two or three hour sleep before). local utility please make progress with me this week. or even the manufacturing company I've poked at a few times. or another company that finally got back to me about how they use AI in their screening process (literally jus...

  what do we think about this delightful ending part of my nicolium Dockerfile setup.

• View post

  awawawa... i think i can finally maybe put this hyperfixation down, now that I have things working to the best of my ability and in my control.

  got my fancy new nicolium-fe dockerfile + build process up and running on here. works swimmingly, easy to map custom stuff through via compose, and shit just Works (TM) which is pretty good. 10/10 do recommend this. I'll prob alter the dockerfile to just touch nicolium.json rather than requiring you copying it over during the build step, or just mv the example json to be the "default" one (since it's basically the default anyways).

  because i am Incapable of leaving things alone i am continuing to poke into building a nicolium docker container automagically, so all you need to do is map in files... and i'm still running into the issue where a valid-seeming json file to configure it just. doesn't seem to apply properly? im tempted to copy it into the build step and then copy all of that into runtime.

  done my weekly rounds of "trying to follow up on job applications that I've interviewed with a hiring manager or have been told regularly I'm still being considered" and also trying to reach out to a different company for a different role. so now i'm looking at housing slightly closer to the places i've applied to and god why is the housing market fucking like this. there are at least some cute buildings in that area but also buying anything is looking at least 500k, i...

  blegh.

  now to see if me copying nicolium.json to the right directory in the nginx container does what I think it does... I have it set up fine but i need to see if i can rig it up to be default.

  I hate to both go "umm please help with me finding a job" right next to "please help me not be in debt and afford student loans BECAUSE THEY WON'T LET ME DEFER THEM FOR UNEMPLOYMENT REASONS STILL" but uh. yeah. need to get outta debt and be able to afford student loans for this month. currently about 100 in the red and need roughly another 350 for the immediately upcoming student loans (then another like, 400 after that eventually... I want student loan debt deleted and n...

  I love how NCASE sells an ATX metal case that looks like the good ol' Cheese Grater Mac Pro's. https://ncased.com/products/p1-honeycomb?variant=55472547496104

  ok this goes for any artists and/or font nerds out there. I need to know if there is a font at least similar to this here, because the Oregon Zoo seems to have taken the signage down that has this absolute gem and I have no idea if they'll put it back up again. And if they don't have it, yes I want to get a print of this because it's that perfect to me.

  MUTUAL AID $0/400 UPDATE 2: Opening this up again because I have no idea if my parents will be able to or willing to assist this month, and if they aren't willing to help out with a few hundred (basically what I'm asking for again) it'll be dipping into first week's unemployment which'll make the start of the month significantly rougher (like, we really need shit like toilet paper and whatnot and if my unemployment this week disappears into rent, we're SOL for toiletries...

  i need to actually sit down with my shit and rig up stuff for my normie website (that may or may not also power my furry webbed site later on). tbh the only purpose of the normie one is stuff that i deem more "professional" and stuff that I'm fine with my actual name being tied to. aka my effort to create a concept of how one could potentially store IEC 61132-3 code and structures into a format that's friendly with version control schemes while still retaining relative robustn...

  blegh. once again it's dinner time and once again we're deep in that "nobody has energy and the stuff we have takes just too long" state (and also I'm super hungry since i barely ate today). i hate to keep fucking ask... but some cash for food would be great right now. ideally enough to get it delivered since neither of us should really be driving right now. https://ko-fi.com/senil https://paypal.me/senil888streams

  can someone make me extremely big and large for a few hours? i think just being huge would help with my stress.

  ugh i need a proper NAS or something with an actual photo storage solution because my google photos is approaching full (after YEARS of uploading original quality) but that's money i don't fucking have and i don't have the space on my optiplex box to run immich or whatever.

  man. I miss the Acer Ezel hinge laptops, the concept was so neat and it's like. the perfect way to handle a 2-in-1 laptop for me. Yes I don't like the idea of my keyboard sitting flat on a surface or pushing into my hands while I cradle it. Also just the perfect way to get the ideal angle for whatever you need... would be a cool idea to try again for digital artists, let folks get that perfect angle while still having a proper laptop machine with the power and flexibility that provides.

  I pulled my laptop thing into my bed with me to do stuff on and I just realized that I'm almost that one The Onion bit.

  For the zero people who will know and/or care, are there any decent non-NodeJS static site generators that don't condone the use of code generative agents? I can't find any clear policy on Hugo (would be nice since. y'know. I'm trying to learn Golang so I could poke into parts of it to at least Kinda Understand some bits n bobs) but they do have an AGENTS.md front and center in their repo.

  blegh. i know i should probably go hang out with my partner and their friends at their stitch circle meetup but i just have no social energy right now, but knowing that going would probably help my state of being in general. but going means draining my already limited battery even more. ugh.

  blegh. partner sent me money to fill up their car but I had to use that money to turn my phone service back on, can a synth get a few bucks to compensate that difference so we can fill it up a bit more than 2 gallons worth? https://ko-fi.com/senil https://paypal.me/senil888streams (unemployment should kick in tomorrow thankfully, & we'll have SNAP benefits coming to our aid either this weekend or on Monday) have a couple of HR folks who reached out to me to talk about their positions...
