today, i tried to get stuff ready to create a server for a capsule, but there were a few problems. i have a raspberry pi 3, which was gifted to me in 2017 or so. however, i don't own a microSD or card reader for it. today, i was searching for a good microSD and found this:

=> https://elinux.org/RPi_SD_cards#Working_.2F_Non-working_SD_cards

i looked up many of the "ok" cards and every one of them had a few reviews that stated they were fakes, erased the data, or had some other major flaw. if i keep digging, will i discover a card without those problems? or do i have to settle?

luckily, i found a card reader that seems decent so far:

but will it actually be?

i also looked up if my isp supports residential server hosting, and their policy disallows it, but the ports i need aren't blocked, so i should be good on that front...

typing away on this page editor feels nice. flounder's ui is almost ideal (some of the fields are too short. i almost typed in the wrong email to register because of it). it's very different from twine.

"how could twine ever be similar to this capsule hosting service?" i was using it to make a private mini-site that would eventually branch into a choose-your-own-adventure story from an obscure passage, very much like this. but here, i have no urge to make <>s. twine had a nice weight before i got here. now it seems heavy. i also have to be mindful that all my page updates will show up in flounder's feed. that probably won't stop me from making a ton of pages though, or treating this like a diary.

i had my regional [nerd] competition on saturday, but there's no chance my team makes it to state. now that it's over, i have a lot of free time on my hands. i don't know if i will use it to learn supercollider, work on art, read books to get a better spellbinding

vocabulary (i can't believe i have to fight against a goddamn phd student, among others), do my homework for once, or do nothing. probably the last option. we'll see.

i worry about my writing style on here. it might be too dense, weirdly worded, disjointed, or infantile for readers. if you only know of me through writing, how much of your attitude towards me comes from my diction?

i worry that i might exceed the 1024 file limit on here. why? the warren-like aspect of

and similar sites are something i wanna create.

i worry that future posts will be repetitive. some of my writing today reminded me of a sonnet i recently wrote.
