day 1 ahhh what a nice minefield! I'm sure this will be a beautiful new home!
day 2 omigod why did we ever move into a minefield. omigod. omigod.
day 3 some (researchers, rebels, some experimentees) are learning to very carefully approach potential mines without getting injured others (other experimentees, torturers, super soldier) have learned to survive mine explosions these different abilities give the different two groups different sets of skills and powers as well as severe limitations
day 4 where the mines are changes over night. the places we think are safe become mined. is the minefield alive?
day 5 we broke into random groups and made different secret survival plans. only some of the groups had their planned routes mined. we think some of our members might be doing the nighttime mining.
day 6 all the members of the groups that didn't have their secret routes mined woke up surrounded by mines
day 7 some of the people who got used to being exploded have learned to travel great distances by having one explosion propel them onto other mines, which then explode and propel them onto further mines, which then explode and propel them further. this can be useful! however, these people no longer seem human-like
[ ... day 8 dropped might come back to it later
universe idea partial premise part: 1. Dinosaurs were evolving spacetravel via hydrogen/oxygen bladders. This is where the myth of fire-breathing dragons came from. It is hidden from the fossil record because it was not encased in bone. 2. Other planets had already evolved biological spacetravel, and the cosmic object that wiped the dinosaurs out was propelled by aliens with primitive reptile-like behaviors, looking to suppress competition 3. Humans evolved in the aftermath. The reason for the presence of empires, wars, and rebellions in human behavior is to figure out how to handle rude and idiotic superpowers murdering everybody. Everybody has tiny size, big brains, and can use other matter for their behavior and information, because that's what survived the cosmic object that wiped out the dinosaurs. Example Scene? Picard is colonizing Mars when he is hailed. It's a giant space lizard as big as a --

[.. somebody killing you? write down what you know, put it in a bottle, and throw the bottle out to sea. dinosaurs could never ever do that! you have such a head start on this spacetravel shit!

“you receive your mail in your basement rather than a normal postal service?” “oh yes this is the cool and hip thing to do, it puts you in control of your own mail delivery” “how did you sort that out?” “well I had to get myself registered as a business address with the local post office, and ensure my basement met various codes for the postal worker to enter it, deposit mail, and leave. and now I have my own mail server in my basement!” “most people just buy a mailbox from a major provider and set it up in front of their house you know” “well yes but then you’re trusting others to secure it and
I might just get a national shitposting agency email address, it’s one of cock.li’s domains, seems my kind of thing I finally got my father to visit by setting up a gnuboot bios development lab on the bed he usually sleeps on. He has wired internet there, I have a bare laptop mainboard and some flashers and ribbon cables, power supplies, thick printed manuals, when I want to test a build I take my lcd monitor off one laptop and wire it to the bare mainboard, I have to be very careful not to jiggle anything

and? what of it? 1 broken lcd was recycled, a 2nd was in use on an offline-only system, the 3rd has a broken backlight too flaky to be useful for troubleshooting, so there’s 1 lcd monitor I take off the dev laptop and put on the board being flashed. the board has to be completely removed to access the rom with cutting the frame, so I lay the lcd above it and a little overlapping and plug it in It works well cause there’s only 1 keyboard between them too, and the power button’s on the keyboard, so I removed my dev keyboard (laptop staying on) and plugged in an old usb keyboard, and I have my keyboard laying on top of the board being flashed loose and plugged in so I can press the power button to power it on (I took apart a broken keyboard and wired the power button but—

oh! here’s the guix build script for gnu boot I have packaging efforts in progress but this works. I used it incrementally so it may need tweaks to resolve bugs for being used all in one go. note at the bottom it’s hardcoded to build a t60 bios, can change it but some things may have more dependencies this is simply very useful (imo, likely a rare one) https://bpa.st/FS7A from guix irc logs, looks like indentation was lost below :s #!/usr/bin/env bash if !

the jsonlike t60 file I sent perplexity is at https://0x0.st/K9vB.txt . the pin numbers in this file are incorrect. it was made with purpose-built code leveraging the reverse engineering work of others and the t60 boardview files available online. significant parts of the .cst file were not included in the reverse engineering data nor the jsonlike file. it may likely be possible to construct the correct pin numbers with more work, unknown. this was why i had not yet simply attached the file here. but i really plod, so here is a link if needed
might share code if doing so doesn’t make the project stop as can sometimes happen
