We have hardware, firmware, software, but no aldenteware.

I started to feel under the weather last night, but after getting a night of good rest... I feel even worse!

Look at this cutie...
She's so full of whimsy and happiness and moeful and alcohol...
Can't wait to see her in-game like please please

Been hyperfixated on Cookie Run Kingdom and TADG and DR lately. These amazing digital dopamine keeps coming. 😌

The Catgirl Generation

ooh, Chinese Football tour is making its way here in the fall!

We were under a flash flood warning last night, and wow did it rain. When the alerts went off and woke us up, I looked in the back yard and water was pooped from our back fence about six feet towards the house! About nine inches of rain last night.

We had water in our finished basement eight years ago, so definitely a source of stress. Had a new sump system with three pumps installed years ago and just buried the downspouts this year. A few caps on the bubblers burst off, but we are dry so far! Another storm comes through tonight. Fingers crossed.

Oh yeah and #OnePiece took another character backstory detour but it’s a great one. Always makes me wonder if Oda had all this mapped out in his mind when the character first appeared. In Brook’s case that was almost 20 years ago 😳

Most other series I’m reading but have no strong feelings about right now. Especially for the brand new series I’m not seeing any favorite right now. I liked #AlienHeadbutt but apparently I was pretty alone with that so it got cancelled 🥲

I’ll give a honorable mention to #UltimateExorcistKiyoshi for the recent joke of “you were away for 2 days but it felt like 30 manga chapters” (because it was that many chapters 😂)

I’m catching up with #ShounenJump Manga again (haven’t read since mid May 😓). Several surprises.
#HunterxHunter is publishing again and I could catch up with the chapters I hadn’t been able to read before the latest hiatus started. I really like how this isn’t afraid to be very complex and people just roll with it.

#HimaTen ended. Wasn’t really my favorite, but I kept reading it. The ending was fine for me.
#BlueBox also seems to be ending soon, that’s two longer series that focus on relationships in a short time 😒
Good that there’s no sign of #SomeoneHertz going anywhere, that series is just precious 🥰

I still like #IchiTheWitch but the latest arc hasn’t caught on with me as much as the last.

Wait, how many Holywood films have I seen that was shot in Vancouver, Canada? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ojm74VGsZBU

The discussion about FOSS community here reminded me of that Reddit used to be FOSS.

To be fair, Neocities is still FOSS and I don't agree with their management: they blocked CORS (by adding HTTP headers that disable this feature, thus breaking a lot of projects) claiming "security issues", despite every other single web host never doing the same.

Grebedoc does the opposite: it allows users to set their own HTTP headers! Do you want to host a Godot 4 game that requires Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy? You can do that with Grebedoc, but not with GitHub Pages nor Neocities (not even paying them).

With this in mind, Neocities looks like "just a static web host for people with Geocities nostalgia" and not a FOSS project to take seriously.

Holy fuck what the fuck am I watching ahahahaa
Genuinely, what the actual fuck

It just caught me off guard in a way I wasnt expectint
Im not going to spoil it here but holy fuck, rhe way they explain the back story is insane as fuck

I can’t breathe I am fucking laughing so hard
What the fuck is ACTUALLY happening in the first episode!?
I was feeling super empathetic towards Melody but then they showed her back story and I genuinely have been laughing for 5 minutes now. Holy fuck, this is some high quality shit

Fireworks 🎇 are technically illegal in my hometown, not that that stops anyone from setting some off on major holidays anyway, especially Fourth of July and New Years Eve.

Whelp. Just ran a game on Steam, denied a few wildly unnecessary online connections, was about to click continue to load my last save, and the game froze. Killed it, restarted it, and the entire drive_c prefix for the game with all my saves and everything is gone.

:mayhemvt_ded:

I checked the prefix. It's literally just gone. There is no drive_c folder there anymore.

:AquaDed1: :AquaDed2: :AquaDed3:

I guess Steam's online sync thing just happily deleted the online saves or something?

EDIT: Re-allowed one of the connections and suddenly it works again. The drive_c is back in the prefix, complete with all the old files including logs? I... I don't even know anymore. Steam, go home. You're drunk.

I barely even have tried this morning, yet I already feel like giving up

IKEA seems to have a new Matter-compatible smart socket. When paired in the Home app in iOS, I can control it from any of my Apple devices. Makes turning off the lights that are out of reach so much easier!

So far my journey with Gentoo has been... surprisingly decent? I know now what I did wrong the first time I decided to try it. Installation is absolutely no fun and I still strongly dislike emerge and the way I'm sometimes forced to just straight up manually write in package.use or etc files, but all in all it's working surprisingly well. Everything is very snappy and efficient. In fact, power usage is slightly lower for whatever reason. I will say I still feel like OpenRC is a pleasure to use. I don't see why everything is still relying on systemd when OpenRC is available and excellent.

Still worried I'll run into something I want but can't get working since there seem to be no downloadable packages (and my luck with compiling such things is bad,) but, all in all it's going great.
