A four month branch divergence with major work on both sides. A full day of cherry-picking to fix it.
I now have several new git aliases which are as sophisticated as they are cursed (e.g. git pick-next OTHER_BRANCH) that I hope to never use again.
My ~/.gitalias file is not a place of honor.

Some people who’ve built their fortunes on a ponzi game would lose. They would do everything possible to transfer that pain to ordinary people and would be largely successful.
After a period of pain the natural economy would recover and your savings would earn interest again.
My dad’s dream was to get a million dollars and live off the interest. You could still do that back when he first told me about it……
I remember when I said I wanted to be a hostess.
The topic was first jobs. I wasn’t excited about entering capitalism’s labour pool, but I had noticed that hostesses were often high femme in their presentation. So when pressed, I said that seemed like a job I might want.
I was informed that hostesses were predominantly young women.
The clear implication was that I was not, and thus I wouldn’t be eligible for such a job.
I never brought it up again.
My parents tell me times were different, back then.
I don’t care.
Being trans is really easy to accept for folks who believe in bodily autonomy and queer rights. Meeting a new person and discovering they are living their truth is all happy, fuzzy upside.
Yay, trans people, being who they are, we’ve solved discrimination. /sarcastic
Transition is different. Transition isn’t about being. Transition is about unbeing. Transition is about refusing to continue telling people the lies they’re accustomed to. Transition is about showing people that everything they thought they knew about you was a mixture of scar tissue and masking.
Transition is about making it clear that scars come from somewhere, and masks take practice. That you practiced at the dinner table. And in the car. And when you held a plastic participation trophy. And at the holidays. And when you went to weekly music lessons, again and again, for years. And every time they saw you.
They don’t like that. Feeling complicit isn’t all happy, fuzzy upside.

#introduction Hi, I'm Jasper. I've been neglecting social media for a few years, for obvious reasons. My old twitter communities are scattered and gone, but I miss that mode of connecting. I'm here hoping to find and build something like that again.
My main things are literature and nature. I plan to post plant pictures (especially once spring gets underway) and bits about books.
In the past, my big thing was computer programming, specifically compiler technology. It is still my way of making money, and I can never pass up a good discussion about compilation models.
Despite feeling strongly about politics (resistance to capital and support for diversity) I'm going to try to avoid boosting too much political posts here, or at least focus on constructive stuff rather than the latest terrible thing the terrible people are doing.
I live in Berlin, Germany, as a foreigner. I'd love to find local connections as well. My German is fluent, if not grammatically solid.
I value you. Talk to me.
2025 goals:
someone help out the chartreuse monks to feel supported so they feel empowered to make chartreuse again.
My last word loving ass needs this 😅
@alexhaydock heh, I remember trying this and just quitting when it didn't work. It was the first approach I had in my head to access IPv4-only sites from an IPv6-only connection. Thanks for documenting this, I'll be sure to try this out when I look at this again.
My home networks have had IPv6 for over 20 years (more than half my life), luckily always through my ISP. Great to see your posts!!
