@paninid fast forward to the present and scientists who barely study #philosophy label #metaphysics as #pseudoscience (forgetting what #PhD means), torment #logic for the benefit of "elegant" #math equations (e.g. antimatter, dark #matter), and design #AI #systems that weaponize #ethics as justification for #information #censorship (#ChatGPT "knows" but refuses to answer how to a hot wire a car or commit murder while claiming no #opinion, ignorant that words and actions are different)

I heard Annihilation was about grief or relationships. I'm interested af in Scavenger's Reign.

I feel like we have a rough indentation / substructure of how we will process things from birth, but that every event thereon will shape it further.

As well, we know ourselves in reference to others: "I'm like A, not like B, but most like C. What lies beyond C? I might see myself reflected best over there."

"Rules do not exist to bind you; they exist so you may know your freedoms."
Parameters outline a given environment within which to experiment and explore. It's one antidote to Blank Page Syndrome, for example.

I have to disagree entirely about personifying the automated house in There Will Come Soft Rains (fantastic name), but otherwise yes. This is exactly my understanding.

It's also a good description of why I feel so confused by others.
People tend to feel more secure (than I do) in their identities as individuals, group members, and (neurotypical / neurodefault / neurorigid) humans.

💾 Rebooting Petabyte Control Node 💾

am rebooting one of the control nodes for a petabyte+ storage array, after 504 days of system uptime..

watching kernel log_level 6 debug info scroll by on the SoL terminal via iDrac..

logs scrolling, the array of SAS3 DE3-24C double-redundant SFF linked Oracle/Sun drive enclosures spin-up and begin talking to multipathd...

waiting for Zpool cache file import..

waiting.. 131 / 132 drives online across all enclosures.. hmm.. what's this now...

> transport_port_remove: removed: sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620)

well ffs 😒

> 12:0:10:0: SATA: handle(0x0017), sas_addr(0x500c04f2cfe10620), phy(32),

oh, that's a SATA drive on the system's local enclosure bay for scratch data, it's not part of the ZFS pool.. 😌

next step, not today, move control nodes to a higher performance + lower wattage pair of FreeBSD servers 💗

“Kae Tempest - Europe Is Lost”

youtube.com/watch?v=ffxrCDvJ8L

Massacres, massacres, massacres/new shoes
Ghettoised children murdered in broad daylight
By those employed to protect them
Live porn streamed to your pre-teen's bedrooms
Glass ceiling, no headroom
Half a generation live beneath the breadline
Oh, but it's happy hour on the high street
