There’s a campus camp thing that I (think I) am entering and they have teams named after programming languages

The leader of Team PHP introduced herself…and I booed her. Everyone heard it. Then I was told to calm down.

Whoops.

Edit: I got into Team XML. Surprised they didn’t have Team JSON.

Edit 2: Also, they put us near Team HTML on the discussion. Coincidence?

I got access to Jeff. Turns out someone detached the power jack to move it to the table… (I still believe Jeff has the “shut down by itself” disease, but just to be safe I’ll put the “do not touch” sign in case somebody did it for some reason)

As promised, the log data of ChanSpec has been published. This includes the older logs (though this has already been done). You can get them here:

• https://file.garden/ZP2W5NRM-w48DgLF/ChanSpec

• https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1oreJ3_ND1SvjC01xVk_banT1mZzsmK5y

Now that I have Jeff running again for (probably) the last time, I wonder what should I do with it. Should I just left it running doing its retirement, backing up all the data still left on the drive? Or should I run something on it as its last mission?

I made it, T-60

I missed the train to go home and I have to wait for 2½ hours for the next one to arrive

I’m staying in the station, for punishment…

(actually, my mom can’t enter the boarding house anyway so I’m going back)

NOBODY SHOULD DO THIS (VERY REASONABLE THING) AND EVERYONE THAT DOES SO DESERVE TO LIVE IN MY SPECIAL HELL.

The writer of the academic guide uses LaTeX for it and I am happy because of that

how did I get from "how should you implement posting" to 1984

My uni is offering Office 365 for free

should I take it

Corkboard and ChanSpec Ceasing Operation

I am sad to announce that Corkboard and ChanSpec are ceasing operation.

Jeff, the budget ASUS laptop I've been using since ~2018 who is hosting Corkboard and ChanSpec, is currently in poor condition. There are cases where it shuts down all by itself, which is annoying since I had to restart it back every time, which is infeasible since I am currently living in my boarding house, around 100 kilometers driving from home (and I had to use the train to get there).

Recovery of all the data from Jeff to my new laptop John is still far from done, but it is already adequate for my purposes. Projects that I am "actively" working on like tbgclient-rewritten, Flipbit, etc. have been backed up to John and development of them will continue as usual (well, under Windows at least, which is less nice). Regarding the data collected by ChanSpec, I will publish the log data to File Garden and Google Drive, along with the source code (again), if the time is possible.

Currently I have no plans to bring back both Corkboard and ChanSpec to John or other computers. I have no resources to run these bots, especially ones that would satisfy my parents. Besides, if Jeff’s condition gets worse, I can't remotely turn on Jeff from my boarding house (there's the brother option, but I'm sure he'll get bored of it fast). The Mineral Fish community is well inactive enough anyway.

Back when I just bought John, I envisioned Jeff to be my little server, especially since I had a Cloudflare Tunnels set up on it. But seeing its condition now, I can't trust it to handle that job. I might as well retire Jeff instead. Now, that's not to say that Jeff is dead. Currently Jeff still works, and it still boots Ubuntu/Arch. However, it can't be left unattended, which makes it unsuitable for my use case. That's why I said backup is still possible, even with Jeff's potentially thinning lifespan.

Maybe someday we will get Jeff fixed. At the day we get it fixed though, my parents would probably insist me to pass it over to someone else, since I don't really need a second laptop. Can’t guarantee it though. And while I think having two laptops is nice, I'd rather delegate that task to something else. Something more...fruity, perhaps? Ah, that's merely my wishful thinking.

You've served your job well, Jeff.

TBGs that I’ve ported into SNSes

• Fortunately, Unfortunately on wasteof (present on my pinned post)

• (someone) owns the moon on wasteof (that went horribly because I don’t know how it started)

• Etchbox on Darflen (still going for some reason despite the database reset, even got its own community)

• Walmart War on wasteof and Darflen (almost no one cared)

To use the clock in my laptop, I had to update it first?!
