a thread for those who heard Think Different and took it as a challenge

as a creature that is driven by discontent as much as by novelty, i enjoy trying out different ways of being every so often just for their own sake. one day this'll get me into hot water, but until then i like to think that ...

For personal research, journaling, and any form of sysadmin administration I need to do for my home network (writing down IP tables, processes, documenting my setup) I like to use Logseq. It's an Obsidian-like knowledge manager project, but it's FOSS. It's still quite early in its development, so ...

i honestly just spent christmas with my wife lounging around in pajamas. we made it through half of this six-hour video about every nes game without a japanese release , and then we made chicken schnitzel and roasted potatoes for our christmas dinner. it turned out really good!

whatever the fate of this community may be, let's at least try to make it through the year, ne? and with this being the season of spotify wrappeds and such, i think it could be fun to talk about our favorite stuff that we've discovered this year.

over the course of the year i've listened to ...

something old, something new…

“The future? Oh, that happened 20 years ago… don’t you remember?”

ever since i listened to usagi-chang superstar i've been poring through everyone that got a release on the short-lived label , and while i could go on about my feelings for all these ...

i still can't get over this video… the dude managed to take a game that i'd never heard of and probably wouldn't care about if i had and, in an hour, make it something that i now care deeply about the survival of and which i kinda wanna try out for myself now too. it feels like the ...

ah, that takes me back… i remember having to read the stranger for an existentialism class in college, and then one period of reflection and an hour staring at a ficus later, i got it. or, at least i got it to the extent that anyone in college gets anything, which is probably no more or less ...

i've been stuck here for a couple days, trying to figure out how i feel about the opening song on here, but the only concrete feeling i get is that this shouldn't be here . like this cassette art is very adorable, but damn if it doesn't also have that "i made this :)" look to it. but then you put in ...

i've had this melody kicking around for… wait fuck, a year now?!

[…]

will i ever do anything with it? who knows at this point, but i'd like to, somehow.


i guess i tried to uwu

or, i started sketching this out, though partway through the sketching process i ...

Otherwise, I've been playing with Tailscale and it's really cool. Suddenly I can have a personal network I access anywhere I go. Like it's not all perfect — I can't get huge media shares over SMB working flawless — but I can serve myself basic apps built on databases. I can keep central storage ...

i think i have a problem. genuinely, seriously.
or maybe i just can't help myself from trying things, just to see what would happen – or if anything would happen.

anyway greetings from emacs-w3m

i guess a barebones vimrc with just the motion keys rebound clocks in at 9 lines? and then my full doom bindings config file is a fair bit longer because i wanted to implement them for all the modes i cared about, as best as i could. i never got all the bugs worked out there, though.
and aside from ...

emacs is… one of those things i really wanted to love, and tried to love. i love the idea of big, learn-once do-everything software (see how i took to obsidian), and i was hoping that it could be the end of my text editor discontent. and because spacemacs looked pretty, i picked it up and worked ...

I'm not quite ready to start 1cc runs on anything, just yet. My first attempt at that will be Gradius II, possibly my favourite sequel ever. Trying to play through as many STGs as possible to figure out which titles appeal to me first.


that's entirely fair! i always felt like stgs are ...

life update: learned that local llms exist and aren't too hard to use, so i downloaded a few to try.

i saw this chat model for generating (erotic?!) roleplay and became interested, since the concept of ai girlfriends is fascinating to me. i remember seeing articles about platforms that shut down ...
