Some friends messaged me on IRC to tell me I had been linked in smolzine. Nifty!
I know I haven't posted in four months. It's not due to boredom with smolnet - I still browse as much as I ever did. It's due to a combination of factors, including a new job, some mental health distractions, a recent illness, and a general loss of faith in computing as beneficial.
I've written up, then deleted, a half dozen posts on various topics - impressions of the Librem 5 I picked up secondhand (short version: I like it, and I'm pleased to now be at zero Google), some commentary on Bupropion (short version: it helps, but watch out for the panic attacks), an analysis of the SuperH ISA (it's pretty good), summarizing some work on NetBSD I've been laboring upon, and a longer post entitled "Why Compute?" that's critical of the use of computers as a default solution to problems.
Ultimately, though, I just didn't have the energy to finish any of them. I'm trying.
Stay safe out there, everyone.
