PSA for future me (and apparently the other three people on Earth who will ever need this): If you need the SHA-256 digest of the number "0" because your CSP is so aggressively locked down that you have to whitelist "0" just to stop Gecko from flashbanging users with unstyled content... echo -n "0" | openssl dgst -sha256 -binary | base64 X+zrZv/IbzjZUnhsbWlsecLbwjndTpG0ZynXOif7V+k= #Programming is a normal profession. #gecko #CSP #InfoSec #WebDev #Firefox #SysAdmin

I wrote 2,700 words about refusing to turn writing into content strategy, optimize for reach, build funnels, or let the dashboard move into my head. So naturally, here is the promotional social media post. https://augustini.wtf/fieldnotes/i-will-not-optimize-the-joy-out-of-writing-again/ #IndieWeb #Writing #CreatorEconomy #PersonalWeb

I accidentally wrote the emotional finale to my little “stop optimizing the joy out of everything” trilogy. It contains burnout, Stockholm, outsourced identity, grindset brainworms, a wood chipper with OKRs, a future electric farm truck and, naturally, a goat named Ralf. Anyway, please enjoy my carefully formatted psychological damage: https://augustini.wtf/fieldnotes/i-was-grinding-myself-down/ #Burnout #MentalHealth #Writing #Tech #SoftwareEngineering #Career #Queer #Trans #PersonalBlog #FieldNotes

New fieldnote escaped containment: programming gets a new “future” every six weeks, yet somehow we still have to write the code. A rant about tool #FOMO, cargo-cult productivity, Vim muscle memory, and why collective fluency is a system property. Your tools don’t need to be fashionable. They need to work in your hands. https://augustini.wtf/fieldnotes/your-tools-do-not-need-to-be-the-future/ #Programming #DeveloperTools #Neovim

I spent an unreasonable amount of my life ensuring a minus sign lands in column 140 of a public-sector ERP file. Not encryption. Not dark magic. Just fixed-width text, invisible spaces, accounting rules, and a spreadsheet acting as an API specification. Welcome to my personal integration hell: https://augustini.wtf/fieldnotes/raindance-fixed-width-personal-hell/ #Raindance #ERP #Integration #FixedWidth #PublicSector #Programming

Other than that I'm saving money to buy own farmstead where I can build a proper workshop, and get back into making all matter of things by hand. I also might own to many #3dprinters possibly (can you have to many tho?) I will also get an idiot goat and name in Ralf probably. I'm also deep into #Gaming and prefer single player games with deep stories. I also spend a lot of time working at festivals and events because it is fun. I also probably have my #fujifilm camera nearby a lot of the time

Things are starting to come together more, I'm also getting closer to a very early 0.0.1 release so people can get in and give feedback as early as possible.... Working om some QOL and Security related things... Hopefully I can feel confident releasing this mess sometime this week even if it will not be perfect. If you wanna hang out and discuss the project, I created a room for it: https://matrix.to/#/%23matcha:augustini.wtf

If you wanna know anything feel free to ask, or just say hi.

@Brargenzilian@mastodon.social Glad you liked it. ☺️ I had a whole other thing to write, but I felt like it was some things I needed to say, to tie up the small arc I accidentally created before going back into more tech again..

@chaotic_neutral_dev@tech.lgbt thank you. Glad people likes my random words. Checked out your website. I really liked it BTW.

@menos@todon.eu Well, I manage library integrations for five municipalities.... And e-archive things... So I have not escaped MARC no... :P
