Death

Last updated: May 15th, 2026

Heya! This is a sad one but I think it’s worth doing. I could die tomorrow after all! (disclaimer: at the time of writing I am not suicidal, and I would like to continue living for as long as I can)

If you’re reading this and I am dead, hi! Regardless of who you are, thanks for giving enough of a shit about me to read this. I wasn’t the greatest person out there, but know I did my best to not take anything anyone did for me for granted; I appreciate it. All of it. If you feel you owe me anything, all I ask is you go out there and make cool stuff. Be creative. Learn things autotelically, that is to say, learn as an end in itself, rather as a means to achieve something else. Process things however you need to, but know that I lived, and I mean truly lived, learning and making cool stuff; If I know myself, I died learning and making cool stuff too, and all things considered, I think that’s alright by me. I love you, and I hope you find whatever it is that makes your life worth living, as I have. If nothing else, do it for me. Now, onward.

My Stuff

To be distributed between my family and friends

My TTRPGs- These should go to people who will actually run them. I love these things, and I want them to have a good home.
My Website- Keep it up if you wish! If someone wants to take on the mantle of fireye.coffee, I’m more than happy to let them.
My Repos- Anyone willing to maintain anything I’ve made is welcome to it.
My PC- Give this to someone who needs the hardware. Have people propose various projects that they will use the processing power for, and pick the coolest one. Bonus points for promising to open source the result.
My Test Bench & spare hardware- Anyone who wants to tinker is welcome to it.

Funeral Stuff

If I have any money, I want to make it possible for the people I care about to attend, wherever they may be. This includes paying for travel, as well as substituting wages if they’re incapable of missing work. What the funeral ends up being should be decided by ranked competitive calvinball. Figure it out.

Funerals are for the living, not the dead. If doing something for my funeral would help you process things better, do it. Like I mean literally anything. Strap my corpse to some fireworks and go ham if you want, or do donuts in a hearse. The following are merely suggestions for what I would personally enjoy, but I’m not there! If it matters to you what I think, you can use the following, if it doesn’t then please disregard it!

Throw a party. Do nerd shit. Bring the longest, most complicated board game you own and teach it to people. Run the most niche TTRPG you own for a one shot. I’m not saying don’t run D&D, but if you do, know that I will be judging you from beyond the grave. Invite anyone that you feel would make the experience better for you. I don’t care either way, I will, in fact, be dead.

Tell stories of me, or just enjoy the time. Whatever helps you process stuff better is what I want. This includes what happens to my remains- I simply don’t care. Whatever helps you, do that. If you do care about my opinion, I like the idea of being eaten by a tree of some kind; Nature is wonderful, and if you wish to visit me, I like the idea of forcing you to go outside. As a kid, I used to befriend trees and talk to them; It would be poetic to have that continued by those who wish to talk to me.

What I don’t want is some stuffy clergyman yapping about organized religion for 8 hours. That fucking sucks and I don’t want to subject people to that. Graveyards also suck. Don’t spend a shit ton of money on a box or a headstone. I don’t give a shit about being remembered: I’m dead.

Necromancy

You can never be too careful!

- Me

If such technology comes along that clones or otherwise resurrects individuals, digitally or otherwise, and you, for some reason, wish to use it on me, you have my blessing to do so, under certain conditions.

I’m of the unfortunate belief that such theoretical technology would simply copy my “state” over to a new consciousness, rather than persist mine, and as such, this new entity would not be me, but rather a simple imitation. If this occurs, upon my cloning/ resurrection, I would like to hold a funeral for my previous iteration. Though, my newer iteration should hold these same beliefs anyway, and request the same themselves regardless of my wishes here.

More broadly, understand that I do not care whether or not this is done, as that will not be me. If you, as a loved one, feel an iteration of my psyche will help you grieve, or otherwise exist, I encourage you to go ahead. However, for the sake of my new iteration, do not do this if there are any corporate strings attached to such a service, including but not limited to significant modifications to my psyche, any sort of subscription service keeping me alive, ad integration, or otherwise. I would not enjoy existing under these conditions, and it would be pretty miserable for both you and the new iteration of me to go through this.

If my brain itself, not a copy, clone, or duplicate, has somehow been preserved and can be resurrected or kept alive, itself, as a unit, without any such copies, I would very much like to live, digitally, robotically, biologically, or otherwise, regardless of any drawbacks or downsides. I prefer existence to nonexistence.

In theory, you will not know the difference, and I will likely not be able to tell you, though I will assume as such should my original brain not be in the loop. I, the consciousness writing this, will though, and it is a distinction that I care about.

TL;DR: If at all possible, keep my brain authoritative.
