Space is so cool. I need to watch more videos explaining how it works. Like what is the difference between the low orbit comms and the deep space comms?

Trying to migrate the Desert Bus blog from Ghost to an in-house solution. Requires converting a bunch of legacy HTML (including old Wordpress posts) to JSON block format. Gonna be staring at images like this for days...

Booked my travel for Desert Bus a whole 7 months in advance. Japan has changed me.

OK, I think that's enough Timberborn for now...

If you're a streamer or someone who makes widgets/overlays for streams, then Eric and I have just released a cool website that we hope will help you out! ekg.gg A full SDK and devkit for making widgets, a marketplace to buy & sell (or get for free) widgets, and a real-time scene editor.

Multiplayer Factorio remains my favorite game ever

You can watch up to 5 Twitch streams. More than that and you'll be considered a viewbot. This was implemented back in ~2018, so idk why Twitch is bringing it up in relation to the recent viewership changes.

never forget: PayPal is not a bank and you should not, under absolutely any circumstances, leave money in your account that you don't intend on spending, whether you partake of completely legal sales and purchases often under scrutiny or not.

Reactive is now undergoing maintenance for the version 5.0.0 upgrade. If all goes well it should take under 90 minutes. If it doesn't go well... let's just hope it goes well. You can watch me run the upgrade live at twitch.tv/fugi

21 hours until Reactive v5 maintenance begins. Will probably stream the process for funsies. Let people see all the issues and answer questions as I lose my mind.

Bounce Birb. Free your mind from your every day troubles and just watch birb bournce ty #chicken #nuggets #2D

reactive.dev.fugi.tech Almost there... just need to add a bunch of features, rewrite the payment flow, and then polish. And then migrate the database.

The journey of converting all Reactive images to AVIF is nearly complete. Couple weeks ago I figured out the FFMPEG command. Last week I downloaded all 4.5M existing images, converted them, then re-uploaded Today I flip the switch to have people use them and see if there are issues

How to make a designer mad in a single image

Trying to balance my desire to play Hundred Line with my fear that if I stop coding it'll be very hard to start again

I feel like every Software Engineer I know is using AI now and talking about how much more productive they are and how it's just an evolution of using Google and StackOverflow... and now I'm forced to wonder if I am the crazy one for absolutely refusing to use it

I promised myself I wouldn't play 10 hours of Hundred Line any more, that I would be productive and get work done and socialize and eat normally but I can't stop thinking about it...

I need the Hundred Line OST as my wake-up alarm

Been streaming Hundred Line: Last Defense Academy and am 32 hours in and haven't seen a single ending I'm terrified of how much of my life this will consume but at least Soy is happy I'm using my vtuber model

@barrycarlyon.co.uk do you know if anybody's written up good guides on handling Conduit shard handover during blue/green deploys? Especially curious if you can call "update shards" and assign shard IDs that don't yet exist, THEN call "update conduit" to scale up to use those new IDs

how do the days keep passing so quickly? can't tell if it's a side effect of not having a permanent place to live yet or something else

TIL Japan does not have Daylight Savings Time, so that's a fun little plus of moving that I didn't even consider

My wireless mouse (G502) has been acting up for the past couple weeks and sometimes would lag, stutter or drop connection to the powerplay receiver. Extremely annoying to use the PC like that. Bought a brand new mouse and powerplay pad. Plugged it in. Everything seemed to work...

ok time to try streaming again. This time some Factorio: Space Age. I've put 100 hours into this playthrough and it's time to figure out how to get to Aquilo. twitch.tv/fugi

Test stream to see how well I can stream with the new vtuber model in Japan twitch.tv/fugi

IDK you're selling to gamers, maybe you can make a game out of it? Launch the 5090 at some absurd price like $4000. Every 12 hours they go without an order, lower the price by $100 until it hits MSRP ($2000). Every time they sell out, increase the price by $100.

RIP the dream of getting a 5090. Not really sure what the point is of underproducing hardware that people want to buy but hope it's worth it.

Spent 3 hours in the public bath and I've never been so relaxed

Started watching the new season of anime and "Fruitmaster" is infuriating garbage. Set in a world where people get skills from special fruit, but eating 2+ lethally poisons you, the protagonist gets the skill "Fruitmaster". It lets him grow fruit and be immune to poisons from fruit.

Everyone in Tokyo seems to have a bike so now I'm doing a lot of research into bikes vs e bikes, small tires vs large tires, foldable vs not...

2025 is pretty cool so far

that log had a child

Checked in for my flight to Tokyo tomorrow and learnt that "1h5m layover" is actually the time between landing and taking off. The time between landing and *boarding* is... 15 minutes. And the gates are in different terminals. Fun!

Had never seen a Sonic movie so spent the past few days watching Sonic 1 & 2 with the fam, then saw Sonic 3 tonight. I had no regrets and would recommend watching them if you have any Sonic nostalgia!

I enjoyed "Red One", a Christmas movie with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. I think it is worth watching for free on Amazon Prime.

Dinner tonight is a Desert Bus slack meme, but also very tasty

Day 1 of the roadtrip is done! It was pretty rough since it involved trashing all remaining items in my apartment (things I wanted to keep were packed yesterday), move-out inspection, then driving 9.5 hours too. The drive was closer to 12 hours due to stopping for lunch, dinner and two naps...

Ordered something a couple weeks after moving into this apartment. Today, 15 months later, I'm leaving the apartment, state, and (after the holidays) the country. With great amusement, I've been watching the tracking of the package as it just barely fails to arrive before I leave.

Got car's oil changed and they didn't fill the tires with air, so after year(s) of driving on low pressure tires I guess I'm finally forced to figure out a core life skill

What do people do with business cards they get at cons and professional events when they get back home?

Double-checked my planned route from Seattle to Austin yesterday and saw people recommending going straight south to California instead of cutting east through Idaho due to potential poor conditions in the mountains. Then I learnt about Oregon Chain Law and that I have to buy tire chains?? Dang it

Gonna be driving for 60 hours next week. What's some good stuff to listen to? Ideally things that if I zone out and stop listening for 5-15min that I don't need to rewind, which I think eliminates all audiobooks? (or if you know a good way to make rewinding an audiobook while driving not suck)

7 days remain until I drive out of Seattle... Guess I should hurry up with planning and packing

i leave in 12 days and am torn between the desire to pack everything up now and be ready so i stop stressing, and the desire to still have a working computer setup so I can game but i'm too stressed to game cuz i'm not packed

I've had it for one day but already loving the Roland Bridge Cast. I think it can replace the GoXLR + Schiit DAC/AMP I used to have.

God's most cursed NAS is almost finished. Had to give up on the GPU at the last second because I didn't get custom cables and... Yeah.

Almost done building the NAS PC, just need to figure out how to mount these hard drives to the radiator support. The holes are _just barely_ off. Maybe Home Depot will have a funny piece of metal that will fix the problem???

Really hate telling people about my struggles moving to Japan because they respond with very reasonable takes like "maybe don't try to bring 3 monitors with you in checked baggage?? buy new monitors in Japan instead?"

Please talk me out of going to the @childsplaycharity.bsky.social Formal Dinner in the @scarraa.bsky.social kigu onsie
