i was thinking maybe a traditional analog pager with a small rpi-powered transmitter too lol

or maybe this https://www.oelmann-elektronik.com/products/LX7/LX7.html

perhaps a belt-mounted pager-alike with an 18650 in it

idea: a non-clock wearable that has a battery that lasts a long time, and receives haptic notifications only from a selfhosted web service. an android app that hooks into handset notifications and forwards only notifications from certain apps or certain priority/regex. sysadmin tools can also POST to the notification endpoint for paging/alerts.

i really want to receive *certain* notifications 24/7. i really don't want to carry my phone around the house all of the time, or be interrupted.

amazing to me that people don't see the obvious ones:

- we apply due process to people based primarily on economic status

- we routinely let people in custody of the state die from easily preventable diseases or get physically attacked/raped

- the police selectively enforce laws and prosecutors selectively prosecute people to push entirely undemocratic agendas

the guy who invented the modern computing architecture we all use also was in favor of starting a nuclear war, dr strangelove style, with the ussr, because he thought they just plain needed killin:

now that he's dead it's not doxxing him.

happy birthday, dan kaminsky.

cultural appropriation doesn't hurt anyone, and resultantly isn't wrong or bad. it's an attempt to frame harmless behavior (that is, the normal and typical propagation of human culture) as an outrageous offense.

majority groups do plenty to fuck over minority groups. dressing or dancing or cooking or eating or cutting their hair similarly is not one of them.

if everything is outrageous, then nothing is.

the smear campaign aimed at warren ellis makes me really sad.

is there a unix command like split that will checksum each individual chunk as it is split out? i'm trying to avoid doing a split and a shasum afterward.
