for a lot of reasons, both personal and practical, i don't think i can effectively run a public mastodon instance any more, and i need to retire cybre.space. i want to do this responsibly and make sure everyone has a chance to migrate and export properly, so here is the plan for the instance retirement (feel free to share this link around): https://cybre.space/~chr/cybre-space-eol

due to ongoing moderation load issues and understaffing, between now and 1 november, the instance may be undermoderated. for other instances, if this poses an issue for you, i encourage you to use federation tools at your discretion. i would only ask that you be clear and public about your decisions so that cybre.space users can figure out where they will be able to migrate their accounts.

thank you

i feel like i don't draw enough.

to encourage myself to draw more, i'm going to try to "pokemon a day" challenge that @DialMforMara has been diligently working through for the last 400-some days (!)

you can follow my progress at @chr_draws_pokemon

april the first be with you

the toots are coming from INSIDE the instance

google captchas are fucking unethical stop making me train their neural nets to log in to my accounts

honestly, HumanBody is the worst hacked-together nonsense i've ever seen.
- no documentation (_everything_ we have is from reverse engineering by enthusiasts)
- little to no runtime modification, everything's baked in at DNA compilation time
- all the sensory hardware is fragile and pretty much impossible to replace when it inevitably breaks
- the built in security is decent but has to constantly download patches to cope with the latest malware, and is only necessary cause of larger systemic problems
