- <h1>Disaster relief first responders</h1>
- <p>Day 00329: Saturday, 2016 January 30</p>
- </header>
- <p>
- A couple people on Twitter were trying riled up in a frenzy about <a href="https://opalrwf4mzmlfmag.onion/">wowaname</a>, who had apparently banned them from her channel.
- It all seemed well and good, seeing as wowaname does have a tendency to actively try to piss people off.
- However, they started attacking her claiming that she is not a woman and that she is having an identity crisis.
- Being transgendered is <strong>*not*</strong> the same thing as having an identity crisis.
- In an identity crisis, one cannot figure out who they are, and is having to search.
- On the other hand, transgendered people know who they are, society just tries to define these peopel differently than they define themselves.
- If they want to fight with wowaname, that is one thing.
- She brings it on herself.
- However, it is not okay to attack the transgendered community in the process with such claims.
- </p>
- <p>
- Between several things that have been happening, I think that I have decided to try setting up an <abbr title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</abbr> server again.
- I will probably use the the <a href="apt:ngircd"><abbr title="Next Generation IRC Daemon">ngIRCd</abbr></a> package that I like and that I can get working without issues, then use a non-packaged services package that I would rather not use, but which would fulfill my obligation to keep channels somewhat under the control of the channel owners.

- Later during the day, my mother and I pretended to be victims for a group of disaster relief first responders.
- We ran through an earthquake/tsunami scenario, after which, the first response team went over what they did right and what they did wrong.
- After that, we did it again, this time with improvements.
- The first response team said that anyone could join their team, but mentioned an icky part.
- They require a copy of your photo <abbr title="identification">ID</abbr> and Social Security card.
- They have no business having that.
- They are asking for volunteers.
- They have no right to demand that volunteers submit to identity verification.
- My mother asked thought that I might be interested, but when she asked and I declined, she knew exactly why without me having said anything.
- She was frustrated that I was concerned with giving out identifying documents.
- She claims that I am causing myself to miss out on things this way, but she does not seem to understand.
- I think that next time that she makes such a comment, I will provide an example that might get my point across.
- If she had to smear dog feces all on her face to join the team, she no doubt would want to join.
- I am the same way with identification documents.
- I am the same way with non-vegan food.
- And I am the same way with nonfree software and music.
- Yes, I am cutting myself off from things, but I am cutting myself off from things that I do not want in the first place.
- She cuts herself off from music and foods that she does not like as well.
- </p>
- <p>
- Tomorrow, my mother and I might be going to some sort of trivia challenge at a bowling ally, though I do not know the details of it.
- It seems that we will not be headed to Springfield tomorrow though, whether we attend the trivia challenge or not.
- </p>
- <p>
- Wowaname built a script for WeeChat a while back called <a href="https://opalrwf4mzmlfmag.onion/files/software/embellish.py">embellish.py</a>.
- This script is used to add fun colors and border characters to your text when typing on <abbr title="Internet Relay Chat">IRC</abbr>.
- Many people on <a href="ircs://kitsune6uv4dtdve.onion:6697/%23Volatile">#Volatile</a>.
- I finally started using it myself now.
- Wowaname even added a new feature for me: a channel whitelist.
- Previously, people have been using the script mostly everywhere, the blacklisting channels run by people that are bothered by it.
- The new whitelist allows me to use it only on the Volatile network though.
- I can have off be the default state of the script, and have it turned on only on channels that I know that people will not mind it on in.

- My <a href="/a/canary.txt">canary</a> still sings the tune of freedom and transparency.
