The Silent Library on IPFS
This blog post explains what Gaki is, what IPFS is, and how I’ve combined them based off the excellent work of others.

Deakin has put its version of a “fair” EA to staff, which is up for a vote from 24th –> 28th of April. It’s typical Deakin management. Embarrassingly low offers of pay rises, painfully low rate of casualisation conversion, and... that’s about it. Nothing about working from home rights for staff. A half-hearted “oh yeah we’ll look at workloads” comment, and some First Nations advancement stuff (which I have no comment on because I haven’t spoken to anyone across that yet).
Deakin’s branch of the NTEU has been posting facts. They’re working to combat the half-truths, twisted realities, and missing information Deakin tries to disseminate around their terrible deal. Here’s some of the Deakin NTEU information pointing out why you should vote NO:
Why Vote No? You deserve better! – (nteu-deakin.org)
How does Deakin’s pay offer compare to the sector? – (nteu-deakin.org)
There’s more at:
Deakin NTEU Members will soon receive a ballot that allows them to vote on if Deakin NTEU Members should take protected action, and what protected action they should be allowed to take. This is called a PABO, or a Protected Action Ballot Order. I thought I’d write a post on why we need to strongly support this, and what it means.
I’ve been off Twitter for the last week but hanging out on Discord and Mastodon. Through that (mainly Discord) I’ve seen, yet again, this regular cast of characters (Per Capita members) attack unemployed/underemployed people who dare criticise Labor’s actions (or lack of them). This also leads to the Per Capita people to start claiming harassment when those unemployed people start calling them on their stuff. I feel like sharing my thoughts.
Everything on this post is my view of it all. Nothing on here is set in stone. I don’t know anyone personally (although I have met Phoebe once).
I want a bot account to run on Mastodon, and I want it to be private, so only I can follow it and see what it posts. I have one on twitter, and the apps I’m using to post to the account (sonarr, radarr, etc) have Twitter integration, so posting to the account is easy. With Mastodon, they don’t have notification integration. They do have the ability to run a custom script though. Mastodon accounts also don’t have a one-click private button like Twitter does, but again, that can be worked around. Below are the steps I took to get it working.
I recently finished attending NTEU’s National Council 2022. Previously I’ve been on two Zoom-based National Councils. I did another post on the content of national council, but I thought it’d be handy to try and document what being on national council in the NTEU is like. I am going to try and cover from getting elected to attending and participating in the national council. This isn’t a guarantee about how the process will work for you (things change), but it’ll likely be very similar.

2022-10-27: Removed a link to an opening speech on request.
This was my first in-person national conference (previous two have been Zooms), and if I could describe it in two words, it’s “solidarity” and “exhausting”.
This quick posts covers MS-DOS 2.11.
In this post we use the FreeDOS VM to run MS-DOS 1.25 and play with the system a bit.
I want to see how well I could run/upgrade various versions of MS-DOS and Windows through the generations, all on Hyper-V. In theory I think I should be able to upgrade through the ages, but the jump from 32-bit to 64-bit might be a problem. I will attack that when I come to it (Windows 10/11). I’m not sure if I’ll go all the way through or not, but I’ve started a bit tonight, and I thought I’d document the process.
