Currently, my newest science fiction show is from Netflix, Another Life. I oddly love _everything_ about it! (v2.jacky.wtf/post/2870c705-…)

Other acts, very rightfully so, felt empowered and powerful coming off the stage, but I felt humiliated. I'm trying to spin this into something I can take confidence from, but so far, I'm really struggling to do this.
I performed at show last night, about femmeness, vulnerability and resilience. We had 24 hours to prepare a set, from a prompt. Due to a series of disability and technical issues, mine ... did not go well. I don't think I communicated my point at all. (It was about homelessness)
Blown away by the Harvey Milk exhibit in SFO T1. At a time when I'm feeling despondent, I see 30 pictures of Milk smiling. He never lost hope and won his position after numerous losses. The least I can do is not lose hope as well. And VOTE.

Song Fight! Live 2019

I forgot to mention it here, but I’m going to be in Madison, WI for Song Fight! Live this weekend! I’ll be performing my set sometime Friday night, and will also (probably) be playing drums for one or two other acts throughout the weekend, and (hopefully) debuting a new song (yet to be written, as I do not yet know the title) on Saturday! Anyway if you’re in or near Madison and can make it to The Rigby and want to watch me flail in front of a crowd, now’s your chance. (We’ll also try to have a live stream although right now there’s some logistics to work out on that front, so no guarantees.) Anyway I’ll also be in Madison until Tuesday and don’t currently have plans for Sunday or Monday, so if I know anyone in the area it’d be fun to meet up and do something I guess? I mean, assuming I don’t get murdered for my anti-Trump song.

Following my last post about automatic updates in Dobrado I've already had to make a few changes to how it works. I realised that if there were any mistakes in a new build, then the problem would be dutifully rolled out to all subscribers without a chance to prevent it.

The fix was to create a second updates feed, this one is available at: https://dobrado.net/testing. Now when an update is built, a post is created in this feed. I still write the post to the original updates feed at https://dobrado.net/updates, but these posts are now saved as a draft with a scheduled publish time. At the moment that time is set to 24 hours later. Of course my publishing tools didn't have a concept of draft posts so I had to add that too... next I need to add UI support to make this feature available to users, at the moment it is only used by the Autoupdate module.

Lastly I added support for removing updates. This needs to happen so that the current version number can be re-used rather than leaving the current broken version in place. Sites that are subscribed to the testing feed will also need to re-apply the update at the current version number, and this is done by the build server removing the matching post in the feed. When the Autoupdate module sees that the post was removed from the feed, it will remove the matching version of the update. This means it will be able to install that version again when it is eventually re-published. The draft post also needs to be removed on the build server, but after that anyone subscribed to the updates feed will never know there was a problem.

So now I have a couple of servers subscribed to the testing feed, and the others that I really don't want to break when I build an update are subscribed to the normal updates feed.
We had that choice some years, maybe decades ago. By now the choices are only about the shape of the descent. Imho better focus on the choices we can make today that still matter.
