general steps to get an astro project connected to cloudflare workers with a custom domain and hooked up to instantly trigger a build upon git push

1. buy domain on porkbun 2. register an account on cloudflare (I just used GitHub) 3. you can just create your astro project using  the cloudflare howto , but make sure that your node and npm are up to date. i had to update node on windows by a manual re-download then update npm via git bash right after.  4. create a git repo and connect it to the astro project, run the astro project and make sure it shows up on localhost 5.  follow this , but delete any DNS records that redirect you to porkbun too, in addition to the steps they give you. you can do it before or after, but you have to do it. porkbun redirected me to an uixie.porkbun url and a 207.x series of IP addresses, which is what takes you to the default "hey this website exists" porkbun landing page. these were A records and CNAME records and I had to nuke them into the sun so cloudflare would regenerate them properly. (it also feels super illegal to delete the porkbun nameservers to replace them with daddy cloudfl...

Playing metazooa again like I'm still at DreamWorks

Dwordle is dead it seems, and I don't have the energy for symble, at least not right now. But metazooa is back in the rotation because I miss playing it and dropping results in zulip. That and my signout message of 🌊 in slack. Little things that make me feel like I'm still there, making movies and planning to never leave.  I wasn't even the one who dropped the 🌊 at dwa, but I do it now.  So now we have wordle, strands, globle, parkle, and metazooa in the daily puzzleslop rotation.

more woods for your rainy saturday emo angst

Life is the impact of a falling brick wall of rain Coming down on your long walk home, when your thoughts are sobering... life is your consciousness, as you tame your wild beasts, where exhaustion is the currency that you must pay for sleep  thanks david.

I need to whine about modern CS for a moment

Not my job, mind you. My job is fun and altogether pretty cash money. I like it.  I need to complain about CS communities for just a brief moment.  Everything is either  AI doom Only caring about money and stocks and boring shit like that  Can't find a job AAAAA  Working 65 hours a week for some reason  VIBE CODING IS THE FUTURE (🖕) People thinking using any AI is "vibe coding"  Nobody codes for fun, or if they do it's vibe coded slop. SLOP SLOP SLOP 🐷🐷🐷🐖🐽 Do any of these people actually LIKE PROGRAMMING? Who are you and what the hell did you do with my nerdy little field? Go away.  No seriously. I thought vibe coding was a joke. You can't be serious, right? Like you're taking the precise art of computer science and making it stochastic, and explictly not trying to understand what is happening? That's part of the definition btw. Trying not to understand. It's the antithesis of why I code.  From slop thou wast born, slop thou doth produc...

A rare occurrence

Blogger on mobile is broken. I can't upload photos and I don't think it's due to space. I need to figure out wtf is going on. However.  My alarm went off this morning and I realized I really needed to pee, which is rare for me. I usually wake up to pee 2-4 times a night, more if it's a Saturday night and I'm sleeping in. So I don't usually have to pee when I wake up for real, as the last one is usually an hour before the alarm. In fact, I didn't remember waking up at all.  My watch mostly confirms this. It claims I was awake from 10:14-10:18 pm and that's it. I definitely do not remember this, either. I think I was not fully awake. Or, that might've been when I got up to get something out of my eye, but I think that one was before I actually fell asleep.  I've only had this happen one other time in my life that I remember. It was weird, I closed my eyes as a kid, woke up and it was Easter somehow.  I guess it also happened when I was knocked out ...

so drawtober is apparently quitting...

...this is their last year?  I'm not doing challenges where people quit hosting them. I cannot stand quitting. If I commit to something, I commit forever . But if that something quits on me , it's done. It's over. It's why I've not checked my old writing group's discord for months. Because they quit on me.  Guess I'm just going to stick with the Loish challenge instead.
