  • Used to have nginx point the default location to an abyss web server, but I didn’t carry the setup forward when I upgraded the OS. It’s a 503 now.

    Several other locations are pointing to:

    • my homebrewed file server. Initially to replace abtssws’s piss poor directory listing performance, but now a frankensteinian being that has a comic reader of my own build, specs, and preference.
    • an icecast server streaming whatever my foobar2k is playing, so I can listen to my library on the go.




  • CAD used to be digital abstraction of the physical media that is 2D drawings on paper, so XY is the plane of the paper going horizontal/vertical, and most detailing are in vertical cross sections so Y ended up being up most of the time.

    The Z axis is then Frankensteined into the existing system to get a proper 3D representation, so it became the depth axis for the existing XY plane.

    In Minecraft it’s even more evident as Notch Frankensteined the Z axis into a game engine that’s originally developed for side scrolling.
