Andy @pixel@desu.social

So I've been on here for almost three months, guess it's time to do one of those #introductions 🤔

My name is Andy, also known as pixel or pixeldesu all across the internet. I'm a professional web developer from Germany, while general dev stuff is also my hobby.

I do whatever I'm interested in, games, art, music, etc. while my current focus is preservation of video games and reverse engineering.

I love to make new friends, so feel free to shoot me a mention and let's talk!

@nilsding to commemorate our loss today

can we change the Mumble MOTD to "Check out Daft Punk's new single "Get Lucky" if you get the chance. Sound of the summer."?

Bandcamp client progressing more and more 👀

oh btw, I started playing Arknights recently, so add me on there 👀

Bandcamp login? Bandcamp login!

designed a draft onboarding page

Bandcamp has no (public) API btw, so this is some fun trickery with scripting

still super-prototype-y stage, but pulling albums already works

Bandcamp:
- website experience is meager at best, etc. pp.

so I decided to start writing up a desktop client 👀

also, happy new year, fedi! 💙

now that it is 2021 in the UK

me: "I'm doing frontend, it is pain."

@nilsding: "I'm doing backend"

me: "...so you have backpain?"

🦀 🦀 🦀 WEB 3.0 IS DEAD 🦀 🦀 🦀

"Looks like Google can't pay GCP fees" is probably the best take

🦀🦀🦀 GOOGLE IS DOWN 🦀🦀🦀

anyway

You know, we've always seen single services being down, but I never saw all services in unison being inaccessible.

That's kinda wild.

Google had it, apparently.

I'm pretty sure it generates enough traffic to be sniped away as soon as I forget it, oof.
