Welcome to Something Eternal: A Website Forum in 2023 wtf lmao

It's 2023, and a single belligerent rich guy destroyed one of the primary focal points of uh...global communication. Tumblr is, shockingly, kinda thriving despite the abuse it gets from its owners, but that I will call the iconic refusal of Tumblr users to let Tumblr get in the way of their using Tumblr. Reddit killed its API, removing the functionality of mobile apps that made it remotely readable (rip rif.) Discord, our current primary hangout, has made countless strange choices lately that indicate it has reached the summit of its usability and functionality, and can only decline from here as changes get made to prepare for shareholders. (NOTE: WROTE THIS POST BEFORE THEIR MOBILE "REDESIGN" LMAO)

The enshittification is intense, and it's coming from every direction. Social media platforms that felt like permanent institutions are instead slowly going to let fall fallow incredible amounts of history, works of art, thought, and fandoms. It kinda sucks!

A couple years ago, I posted about a new plan with a new domain, to focus on the archiving of media content, as I saw that to be the fatal weakness of the current ways the internet and fandoms work. Much has happened since to convince me to alter the direction of those efforts, though not abandon them entirely.

Long story short? We are launching a fucking website forum. In 2023.

If you remember In the Rose Garden, much about Something Eternal will be familiar. But this has been a year in the making, and in many ways it's far more ambitious than IRG was. We have put money on this. The forum is running on the same software major IT and technology businesses use, because I don't want the software to age out of usability within five years. It has an attached gallery system for me to post content to, including the Chiho Saito art collection. It has a profile post system that everyone already on the forum has decided is kinda like mini Twitter? But it is, fundamentally, a website forum, owned and run and moderated by us. We are not web devs. But we have run a website on pure spite and headbutting code for over twenty years, and we have over a decade of experience maintaining social spaces online, both on the OG forum, and on our Discord. Better skilled people with far more time than we have can and will build incredible alternatives to what is collapsing around us. But they're not in the room right now. We are. And you know what? Maybe it's time to return to a clunkier, slower moving, more conversation focused platform.

You're not joining a social media platform with the full polish of dozens of devs and automated moderation. Things might break, and I might need time to fix them. The emojis and such are still a work in progress. Because e-mails no longer route in reasonable normal ways, the sign-up process instead happens within the software, and has to be approved by mods. Design and structure elements may change. Etc. The point being, that the forum isn't finished, but it is at a place where I feel like I can present it to people, and it's people I need to help direct what functions and things will be in this space. You all will shape its norms, its traditions, its options...choices I could try to make now, but really...they're for us to create as a group! But the important stuff? That's there. Now let's drive this baby off the damn lot already!

Come! Join us!!

PS. As always, TERFs and Nazis need not apply.

Does he… you know… bear off?

[psyduckz]

4chan shutting down is so unreal, mostly because i haven’t seen a flood of noticeable new users… anywhere. it’s like the website crashed down and took everyone with it

[faeriefully]

me realizing that I’m the tumblr middle child

[pandelacreme]

nothing will give me more psychic damage than waking up to a AsAm tiktoker posting repackaged antisemitism (economic scapegoatism) against another minority in a different political context! and framing it like it's some quirky asian fax!

this is like a recurring issue among AsAm/AsCan communities where they are just completely disconnected from their homelands. and i dont mean like "oh im not fluent" and not being able to access knowledge by "virtue" of language barriers. i mean politically speaking... some of the things ive seen them post PUBLICLY. FACE OUT. that they would not be comfortable saying if they were actually familiar with the socio-political context of their homelands

[bluesofberries]

i'm so used to posting on Reddit being like, only things that specifically relate to whatever subreddit you're posting in. I keep forgetting that this is just my own little blog where I can put whatever the hell I want in it

i may get significantly more annoying now that i've realized this.

wahoo!

Yesterday's training session was a comedy of errors but I figured out some stuff!

-First, if the flirt pole is involved Tassie doesn't care who's on the other end of the leash. Buddy and I swapped back and forth and it didn't matter, Tassie wanted that cotton rope

-Second, if I'm going to do this maybe don't do it when it's insanely hot out and let my husband know NOT to play Frisbee with her twenty minutes before I'm supposed to do a highly physical training session

-Third, I forgot that Tassie has never really liked the wedge, and somehow the thought never crossed my mind that going from super-high-value flirt pole to incredibly-low-value bite wedge would be a bad fucking idea lmao

In the end the training session was NOT very productive but I'm glad I recorded it because I'm seeing a bunch of mistakes I'm making. For one, Tassie is insanely strong for her size and was absolutely dragging my buddy around no problem so I need to let her anchor herself better. I did want Tassie to drag forward a little bit to fight for that flirt pole but not quite that much. Also, when she does "win" it I am not letting her have it for long enough and that combined with the heat was a bit demotivating for her. We'll do a makeup session when it cools down later this week. Also, if I am going to work her in this kind of heat I need to hose her down beforehand, not wait until she's gasping for air.

For the bite wedge, I'm either going to have to try to figure out a way to make it more valuable for her or just use the sleeve instead. It's been long enough that I forgot she's never liked the wedge and has always half-assed bit it. She was doing full mouth bites but would immediately release either partially to breathe or entirely because she just hates holding it. Might have to see about getting a different kind of bite pillow. Also, I should have stopped the session a lot earlier instead of trying to tease her into being more invested: she just wasn't feeling it yesterday and I knew it but coordinating with other people is super difficult and I didn't want to waste my buddy's time. Next time I'll pay more attention to her body language about certain stuff. Also flirt pole last. She was fixating on that even when it WAS well out of her sight.

Oh well, learned some things and the things I fucked up aren't major! I'll have to see if next time I can do better.

Git: Git, a distributed version control system is extensively utilized by DevOps teams, for code repository management. It aids in monitoring code alterations facilitating collaboration, among team members and preserving a record of modifications made to the codebase.

Ansible: Ansible is an open source tool used for managing configurations deploying applications and automating tasks. It simplifies infrastructure management. Saves time when performing tasks.

Docker: Docker, on the other hand is a platform for containerization that allows DevOps engineers to bundle applications and dependencies into containers. This ensures consistency and compatibility across environments from development, to production.

Kubernetes: Kubernetes is an open-source container orchestration platform that helps manage and scale containers. It helps automate the deployment, scaling, and management of applications and micro-services.

Jenkins: Jenkins is an open-source automation server that helps automate the process of building, testing, and deploying software. It helps to automate repetitive tasks and improve the speed and efficiency of the software delivery process.

Nagios: Nagios is an open-source monitoring tool that helps us monitor the health and performance of our IT infrastructure. It also helps us to identify and resolve issues in real-time and ensure the high availability and reliability of IT systems as well.

Terraform: Terraform is an infrastructure as code (IAC) tool that helps manage and provision IT infrastructure. It helps us automate the process of provisioning and configuring IT resources and ensures consistency between development and production environments.

Step 4: Gain practical experience:

The best way to gain practical experience is by working on real projects and bootcamps. You can start by contributing to open-source projects or participating in coding challenges and hackathons. You can also attend workshops and online courses to improve your skills.

Step 5: Get certified:

Getting certified in DevOps can help you stand out from the crowd and showcase your expertise to various people. Some of the most popular certifications are:
