馃憢 Hi there, Smokey here! I hope all is going well for you so far today. I am another person going through life trying to figure out my own place in it. I originally joined gemini to dip my toes into the smolnet, and have been happily participating for the better part of the year. Thank you for having me.

as much as I am suspicious of new and especially cloud based technology run by corporations, I will hand it to openAI that ChatGPT is proving to be an extremely useful tool this past week. I'm a little late to the AI party, its amazing how far chatbot technology has come since ol' cleverbot. a virtual assistant that knows answers to everything you would ever want to ask and can feed that information to you in a easily digestable human friendly way. I don't want to know how many thousands of knowledge databases it had to be trained on.

My family every time I tell them to restart the computer to fix a wierd software issue: Why does that work? My explaination: Computer software is held together with the equivalent of ducktape, bubblegum, hopes and dreams. sometimes one of those gives out and restarting re-applies them.

I like that station seems to have a natural defense for certain kinds of personality archetypes who cant help but angrily spew their beliefs and argue with everyone they don't agree with. A couple of users I personally disliked have come and gone already, and im sure more will follow. Some people want an echo chamber, some want never ending arguments to *win*, They last a few months, say their piece, realize they aren't getting the reaction/interaction they crave, and move on to the next community. The people who actually have something interesting to say in a respectful way, who want to have a dialog without it turning into a opinion battle, who want to be friendly and cooperative, stick around.

This weekend I have been reading some comics made by independent artist that recently came on my radar. Wanted to share them here. Here is Humanity Lost, a hard sci-fi thriller that is beautifully shaded and has many breath taking panels. ~ 150 pages of excellent art and intriguing story for a mere 1.50$ over at patreon. Quite a great deal. https://www.patreon.com/CallumStephenDiggle The other is Rust & Humus, a worldbuilding project/book that has some of the most beautiful and moving imagery I have ever seen. It catalogs an entire planets history from solar system to the end of the last civilizations. Its free to read in its entirety online here: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/rAw5vm

Going to the local farm for food is so much cheaper and fresh than the grocery store especially now that the prices of everything spiked so heavily for processed goods. store bought rootbeer in a bottle doesn't hold a candle to the real shit the amish sell,

Mentally ill neighbor just installed a security camera in their shed and pointed it right at my back patio. Can't sit out at night anymore without noticing the red blinking light reminding me im being watched. Yet another reason my first home is going to be a cabin or cob hut built on land bought in the middle of bumfuck-nowhere appalachian mountains. My question is why though.

Today was awesome I had an interview at a winery that also happens to share the same space as a renisaunce faire grounds which it supplies. I think I nailed the interview more or less but well see if they extend the offer. It was for an electricians helper by the way. Can't remember the last time I was actually excited at the prospect of a job position.

A limitation of the duckling proxy is actually trying to do web searches through a gemini client. So today I worked on a little bash script to input user queries and output those queries in a search engine url format. Might make a full gemini post about it but for now you can view the script source here: tilde.team/~smokey/cgi-bin/source-ddg-duckling-search.gmi tilde.team/~smokey/cgi-bin/source-multiple-choice-search.gmi The ultimate goal is to create a CGI service that processes a users query and redirects you to the corrisponding search engine url.

Last night a baby praying mantis hopped up on my smoking table out back. Took a little while to trust me but once it did it couldn't stop exploring my hands and arms lol. Sure was a cute little green thing. Eventually once the sun set I walked it out to some greenery on the side of the house and let it continue its wierd little praying mantis life.
