You’ll never see it coming~

I don’t have much faith in Blizzard to stick around :/

Three weeks only.

Maybe I’ll install the game again tonight

Yup, the Hideaki Anno movie! I think it’s one of the greatest movies I’ve seen. There’s a chapter of the book called Sexography that discusses the movie very well. It kind of helped me understand the issue a bit more.

I haven’t seen Ritual yet but it’s on my watch list!

• Perfect Blue
• The End of Evangelion
• Love & Pop

Bypassing paywalled articles.

There’s old movies there, too.

I absolutely love Doom. Doom 2016 and Doom Eternal are some of the best singeplayer FPS games I’ve played.

Slay the Spire: surprisingly addicting for a simple card game. I played other online card games in the past and its the first I enjoyed deck building. I got fed up though because I lost to the third boss in my Watcher run. I’m doing an Ironclad run again because he’s my favorite.

Oxygen Not Included: I put almost 30 hours in my first two days. I like Rimworld more for the combat but it’s still pretty fun.

I’m thinking of buying Civilization V on Steam. I’m fed up with League of Legends, I need something else to play especially for the summer.

“Sans Soleil” by Chris Marker.

It’s a documentary that only uses “stock footage” and a woman reading letters. It’s about time and memory and other philosophical stuff.

I also really like the tunnels feature. It makes self hosting at home easy for those under NAT/CGNAT or whatever it was called.

The Great Train Robbery (Edwin S. Porter)

Any of Satoshi Kon’s works (Paranoia Agent, Perfect Blue, Millennium Actress, etc). IMO, he’s one of the few animation directors who really takes advantage of everything animation has to offer.

This Lemmy instance is much harder to maintain due to the fact that I can’t tell what images get uploaded here, which means anyone can use this as a free image host for illegal shit, and the fact that there’s no user list that I can easily see. Moderation tools are nonexistent on here.

0.19.4 provides a way to see uploaded images (although not the best) but this version was only recently released so I can see where the frustration is coming from especially since the CSAM attacks happened nearly a year ago. At the time, I had to make a copy of pictrs, view everything on a file manager, and manually remove those images. People can still upload images without anyone seeing it however.

It also eats up storage like crazy due to the fact that it rapidly caches images from scraped URLs and the few remaining instances that we still federate with.

This was fixed in 0.19.3 (released 7 months ago) where you can disable image “caching”. This has solved storage costs for us together with pictrs’ image processing.

plug in an expensive AI image checker to scan for illegal imagery

It’s unfortunate that we need this. Not everybody has the resources to run fedisafety nor does everyone live in USA where they can use Cloudflare’s CSAM scanner. I think a good way to deal with the issue is to have images that are not public, not be stored (or have no private images at all). This way images can be easily reported.

Overall, I understand the frustration and to some degree I also feel the same but I also limit my expectations considering the nature of the project.

I use dex and picom now. Every few months I learn something new about running i3wm with no DE.

I haven’t tried it yet but I would rather dual boot for games with anti-cheat that don’t work with Wine or a VM.

It really is bad compared to KVM. Though for my usecase of pandoc+vim, running Debian with VMware does the job. Browsing the web, watching videos, and listening to music are okay too. It’s very bad for GPU accelerated stuff though which is what the Windows host is for.

I want to dual boot again but I’m still working on this project on one of my SSDs so I don’t want to touch anything yet.

Been using Debian stable again this year, but this time in a VM (Windows host. I know, I know.)

I’m very happy with it. I tried other distros but kept coming back to Debian.

install gentoo

Qwant isn’t available in a lot of countries though: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qwant
