This project technically started in 2009, as part of another project called Dandelion (which then was renamed to Pines), then around 2014 I pulled it out into its own project, Nymph. I worked on it on and off, until 2021, when I rewrote it for Node.js as Nymph.js.

It now runs my email service, https://port87.com/

Here's the oldest code I can find on GitHub from July 7, 2009:

And here's the first version as its own project from Sep 8, 2014:

Miraculous Ladybug. Such a dumb show, but I like it. It’s definitely a villain of the week show with a magic fix everything button.

It’s not just crystals. Even amorphous solids, like glass, can be extremely kiki.

RAID with parity is technically a backup, just a mostly ineffective one. It’s a backup that allows you to recover from exactly one scenario, single (or double) device hardware failure.

But I definitely understand the mantra “RAID is not a backup”. It’s not what most people think of when they say “backup”.

I guess you can’t see if your eyes are closed.

Fox News tells you not to believe your eyes, and conservatives trust Fox News more than their own eyes.

Enshittification is a consequence of private equity investments, so no. Companies who don’t take money from private equity will actually innovate. Whether they can survive the monopolies that do take private equity investments is another question.

The real problem is the need for constant revenue growth. If a company doesn’t care about constantly growing their revenue, they can put their funds toward long term projects that may not pay out until many years down the road. Those are the companies that truly innovate.

Plus there’s always room for new companies to come in and innovate, even with private equity money. Just don’t expect that from the already established companies.

Something along the lines of "don't ever go to bed angry at each other." Like, yeah, you should try to work it out, but if you fucked up real bad, don't push it. Sleep on the couch.

Hmm. You remember how congress used to round up suspected communists?
