are there any others out there with experience using an m5 cardkb as input for a pi 5 via i2c? bought the lil gizmo to use for the rippler. i have followed the github tutorials, and short of my pi’s GPIO pins having an issue i cannot figure out what’s wrong. i2cdetect brings up absolutely no address for the keyboard. please tell me i’m not alone in this

Hey folks, I am not really active lately, but I was wondering, is there IRC of cyberspace?

I found that I have pre-installed Polari app for my void linux, and I lowkey would like to use it for no apparent reason. Do you have some cool IRC channels I can add on there?

I ordered myself a dNExT from Dangerous Things last month, decided to go with 6 Green LEDs on it. I figured I should order it when I did cause it said they were made to order so I dunno how long it’ll take and the installer I looked into and got a quote from will be in my city mid-december. I feel like I still got plenty of time for it to show in November but I really wanna book the reservation to get it installed and maybe also get some...

I made a design for a sticker (or banner or whatever) if anybody is interested in making their own.

I put the image on my cyberspace page. You can download the JPG file.

Lately I've been graffiti-ing the cyberspace URL on the toilet walls of just about every bar, club or venue I've been to.

While you could "Call Jerry for a good time", I think you'd be better off visiting "https://cyberspace.online/".

@genghis_khan I know you've been looking for new ways to promote the site, have you considered tagging random bathroom stalls?

And yes, I have sunk in the mire of commercial technology and looking for a way out.

• I had a pixel, which meant I had free google one, which meant that I had free extra storage.
• The Pixel Broke.
• My "Google One" is no longer valid if I no longer use a Google Pixel
• Now that I no longer have Google One, I've used 555% of my storage.
• I no longer receive email, coz GMail is the only email servce that requires Cloud Storage, coz they're capitalist assholes.
• I assigned my DistroKid Account on that Email.
• I was only logged in on my phone with that DistroKid Account.
• I am now locked...

No Falo Portuguese. Have a Brazillian song by Os Tincoas.

happy monday y'all. I have a week off next week, so final stretch to some proper time off!

Best of luck to you all.

Just realized that I can't watch Deltarune comics without spoiling myself, and I won't know what's going on unless I either play through it myself or watch a youtuber play through it. I played only some of the way through chapter 5

The best decision I made recently was to use the rest of my vacation days to get a long weekend every week for therest of the year

This still messes with my head years later.

At the top left of this image is a (now decommissioned) Google Datacentre. At the bottom is a medieval 14th century castle. Basically neighbours. I worked many days in that datacentre before I knew about the castle.

Why were these two words in the draft when I opened cyberspace on the phone?

Is it trying to tell me something?

Did I have a prophetic dream and type them down in a delirious state?

Did an AI hack my phone to warn us of our doom?

...did autocorrect uncorrect something?

As with many questions, this one may remain forever unanswered.

Just another night, in the Twilight Zone.

I am currently living with someone that has a crush on me.

I'm posting this because I don't really know what to feel right now and I am still waiting for my paycheck so that I can book a therapist.

2 Months ago I left my parent's place because it was really toxic due to my mother being huge gaslighter and could not express her heavy feelings without projecting it to her kids. Not going to lie I am 28 and I have messed up my finances around 2025, that was on me and I had to live with my mom again....

Spending lots of money fixing problems nobody even had.

I was working today, and An elderly woman whom I was setting up cutlery for asked me,

"Is your mother at work?"

For those who do not know. My mother's been dead for 3 years. Cancer of 8 years. This old lady mistook me for someone else. She then asked if my mother was not "Margarita", I explained that my mum had been dead for 3 years, that she was an English Cypriot lady, and that I was the Grandson of my grandfather, who's pretty well known in the village. Turns out she's my grandfather's sister.

But...
