heyyy friends
It's been longer than I wanted it to be, I've had a hard time lately, everything from work stress to coming out to my highly conservative family to some particularly nasty dysphoria, had me cruise right into a nice little light to moderate menty b - I'm fine, it was a growth opportunity, sometimes you just indulge these things and get in your car and drive with the music up real loud and hop out somewhere you can watch the sunset and you cry alone for a while and you savor it and you come out of it cleansed. I'm good. Being a girl is hard. Still figuring it out. <3
This is a light update in terms of work I've accomplished but it's a big update in terms of how this project becomes something more community related. the title of this post is actually a double entendre, you see - not only do I have issues, but the sphynx project also has an issue tracker.
Issue tracker for sphynx
(the electronics): https://todo.sr.ht/~_410bdf/sphynx?search=status%3Aany
Issue tracker for sphynx-site
(the website, both content and style): https://todo.sr.ht/~_410bdf/sphynx-site?search=status%3Aany
This changes a lot. I've been stressing with each post about ways I can ask y'all for help, because I 1) want to take some of the load off of myself, and more importantly, 2) turn this into a truly community project, where people all across the world leave their mark and have this be something we do as together as we can. Now that I have an issue tracker, I can start unloading my brain asynchronously from these posts, providing all the information in a neat compartmentalized fashion per issue, and teeing things up for community members to take on. It also serves as a great work journal, I still make, comment on, and close issues that I work alone, so it's a good place to check in to see that I'm still doing things (even though it's been a minute )
I've done some electrical work since last post too, pretty much just bug fixing and improvements from RC1, and if you'd like to read about it, it's all (albeit very tersely) captured in the issues! Go dig around and have fun!
The site is a little fresher too! Just a bit, it's still not inhabitable yet, but we're getting there. https://sphynx.diy Huge shoutout to @Edie@hexbear.net, it put in a really a lot of work and sent me more than a few patches, including fixing some bugs I had spent kind of not a little time on, plus, of course, doing the entire original Jekyll port and the entire original CI pipeline. You're real for that, thank you
OH! And message me on matrix??? @410bdf:matrix.org say hi! I love hearing from y'all! Or say hi here! Huge shoutout again to @Edie@hexbear.net for reaching out on Matrix and talking with me and hyping me up and talking about the project together with me!
Not much else, this is a quick one to let y'all know I'm still alive and to share out the issue tracker so I'm more confident to ask for help and have it be effective. As usual love y'all. I've been using RC1 and it still works but it's only getting better from here. Byeee 🫶

Hey friend!
sorry you've been having a rough time. Aren't we all still figuring it out
honestly the process is so beautiful i wouldn't trade it for the world
that said I'd love a little break from time to time 🥲
Heiiaaa! I havent commented on the last few posts cause of similar mental b time. I swear theres something in the air rn, half the people i know irl are having rough mental health times.
Im sorry youve been dealing with such a stressful and dysphoric time lately
i hope some good crys and sunsets have been cathartic/nourishing for you <3
On the sphynx side of things, its good to see more community-ization! RC1 sounds like its working out well, and that is so wonderful to hear!!!
As always its always wonderful to hear these updates from you
i cant wait to solder one of these together and go to town, youre really making something wonderful here <3
sometimes you just indulge these things and get in your car and drive with the music up real loud and hop out somewhere you can watch the sunset and you cry alone for a while and you savor it and you come out of it cleansed
This sounds so healthy and beautiful. Maybe I need to take a page out of your book.
I'm sorry about your struggles and impressed that you're still making progress regardless!
a nice little light to moderate menty b
fucking hilarious and seems almost friendly when you put it this way. I think I'm gonna try talking about mine like that ❤️ thank you!
Very nice! Take it at your own pace! maybe I'll start looking into the feasibility of building a prototype soon
