Oh hey! Tomorrow is the day when Mike Tyson and Jake Paul punch each other?

I guess it's a pay per view thing on Netflix, but I'm certainly not going to bother. There will be at least fifty billion clips of it on TikTok by Saturday morning.

That said, I'm kind of hoping Tyson displaces Paul's soul out of his mortal form with a single blow?

Welp, today is the day, as foretold by prophecy: Didthis is shutting down right this very moment.

The good news is that we managed to load up a public escape capsule with the archived source code, commit history and all.

It's not exactly deploy-ready outside of the very specific infrastructural context in which we built it, but it could be interesting for reference at least.

I's very much prototype-to-MVP code, but it had some users for awhile

Shower thought: A high-fantasy story where a lone hero averts a calamity and saves the kingdom and is subsequently rewarded by being crowned monarch is essentially a story about an individual contributor being shunted via promotion onto the management career track.

@toroidalcore Yeah, Yahoo used to be ""Yet Another Hierarchically Organized Oracle" 😅

Closest thing we have now I think are webrings and a few different social bookmarking services. Would kind of like to see something that ties those together better and/or revives something Yahoo-esque

Hear me out: Internet of Fish

Playing around with building a wall of little guys I printed

Regret to inform that I will continue garbage which amuses me. But since I don't throw it out, I don't think it's garbage?

Weird to be working toward deleting a bunch of stuff without backups today. Like, going into all the Danger Zone / "Are you sure?" scarlet dialogs and expressing repeated consent for destruction

But, that's the expectation we set for shutting the thing down. Like, not retaining a scrap of data or content wherever possible beyond the project source.

Oh holy crap, what specific set of circumstances caused this LLM to conjure this up?
