I’ve been building a local-first humanities library on my TrueNAS NAS, Satchel: an offline archive of public-domain books, Project Gutenberg materials, and primary religious and historical texts. The collection includes Jewish sources such as the Mishnah, Babylonian Talmud, and Rashi/Ramban commentary; early Christian writings; Islamic, Hindu, and Buddhist texts; and volumes from The Sacred Books of the East. The goal is preservation, local access, and comparative study: keeping important texts searchable and available without relying on a subscription, a platform, or an internet connection. I’m organizing it carefully by tradition, work, translation or edition, and commentary so that the texts remain useful rather than becoming a pile of files. A personal library should still work when the cloud, a website, or a company disappears. #TrueNAS #SelfHosting #DigitalPreservation #PersonalLibrary #AncientTexts #OpenAccess #Homelab

Invictus by William Ernest Henley Out of the night that covers me Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance, I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.

And the entire "Support Structure" put in place to protect people like me can fuck right the hell off with its double standards. If I were a woman, I would have been relocated by now and an investigation into #Scranton Counseling would have been in process. When you try and talk a trafficking survivor out of very real world trauma and nothing happens after. You people are as corrupt as they come.

Quick housekeeping: I've closed all my other #XMPP accounts and am keeping just one: bazurk@omg.lol Feel free to add me if you'd like to chat, or update your contacts if you had one of my old addresses. See you there!

Why anyone in there right mind would cheat on chess.com is beyond me. Why not just play a computer?

@lmemsm@fosstodon.org No I am not. This is a fairly new hobby of mine. Even want to learn Ge'ez ..... yes I am a nerd.
