My first actual meal since having my tooth extracted: Tuna cakes over fettuccine with garlic pesto sauce. My only issue is now I have to learn how to chew with my entire mouth, something I haven't been doing for over 6 years...

Well THAT didn't take long! Holy shit, you can't time this stuff! Not sure if they just sent this to everyone now or it was from some time ago. That said, I never saw this until now (Arrived 9/17 2329 EST).

Oh, woops! I forgot my rez day was... a week ago! #SecondLife #rezday

I have archived everything for the most part. The oldest snapshot I have is from 2015, and that's because it was the first time I got HiFi running on Windows (specifically when builds for Windows became available). All other builds were on Fedora on a drive I no longer have.

*flash backs to all the iterations of the default landing spots* ...I'm guessing you mean the hanger sandbox era before the 'travel bus' era?

Been awhile since I've posted; I've been busy working on wrapping up projects and continuing some education. AWS course is going fine... albeit I'm mostly using the GUI. Prusa MK4 build is almost done. I should have it wrapped up by the weekend. The last steps are the Y carriage and updates.

Holy shit, @github.com! You can't even do a basic symbol search for a command I literally am staring at, but have no issues insisting I use an AI agent to manage my PRs? The fact I'm better off doing Linux CLI commands to search a cloned repo shows how badly the mighty have fallen.

Who knew upgrading an AIO system to 8GB of RAM would improve things? Now I can actually have tabs open, with videos! And yes, this shipped with Windows 11. On 4GB of RAM. 1 SODIMM slot and 128G SSD.

I seem to be having issues with the link given. They're saying they don't have any availability for the 6 nights, despite being a Patron.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 24/08/2026

Okay... I'm confused. Why is Omarchy getting attention again? Suddenly it's the bee's knees, but wasn't there some drama or major things tied to the maintainer? Like, as a Linux distro pushed for hype, I can't think of anyone I know who'd want this, but I can think of many to suggest Mint.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 24/08/2026

Uh, @valvesoftware.com, I know I missed the oppertunity the last time to get the Steam Machine because of a false flag with my spam filter... But uh... I think you are WAY past the date my round 2 attempt should be considered...

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 21/08/2026

Prototyping a Gridfinity 1x1 USB fume extractor. Yes, I put magnets on it.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 17/08/2026

My start up and shutdown sequences are a bit strange.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 14/08/2026

Busy with training at work... "Elevate your job search with Copilot" Uh... Maybe best to not put that in a mandatory employee course...

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 12/08/2026

A while ago, before it came out, I had finished a simple tracker accessory that let you attach in-world objects to your physical trackers in @resonite.com. I made a quick guide, but never really published it. Despite it being older, it DOES still play nice in Resonite to this day! #VR #Resonite

LAN parties in both Desktop and VR with screen sharing. A bit tricky to get working on Linux, but doable.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 10/08/2026

Installing a new hot end and recalibrating the PID and Z-Offsets again. Time to play Children of the Omnissiah again.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 10/08/2026

"Age of Money report released as a first-party feature" "Payee Locations released as a first-party feature" YES! Actual Budget is now literally just YNAB, but minus the monthly cost. YNAB taught me well, but now it's time to go further and forge my own blade for budgeting.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 04/08/2026

Uh... since when did Trending become near complete sentences? Also, the fourth point: I'm here because I got tired of Twitter's ragebaiting system that has an inverted Skinner box. However, that wasn't the actual hurdle here: I came from a Mastodon instance because "it was too hard to understand."

000

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 28/07/2026

I made a thing. I also made said thing way too big. Woops.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 28/07/2026

I can post all my monitors and have them line up in BSky. The chaos will only get worse.

011

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 25/07/2026

Lil` baby UPS shelf is complete. I just need to hide the wires in the back a bit more, make a bridging adapter for the large to the XXXS shelf, and I'll be happy.

020

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 25/07/2026

Finished repairing my original handwired keyboard and (poorly) cutting the dowels for my UPS stand. I'm not sure what else to really do for my desk after this point.

000

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 24/07/2026

How about I don't, @discord.com. I have a grandfathered plan that renewed during the chaotic mess you made, and I'm fine with the benefits that offers, which you've done a great deal of work making it less and less honored over time. I already have something, fuck off with your offers.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 23/07/2026

One of the people who insisted I "get over VRC" is now throwing a party, forwarded an invite, and... Is the TOS a joke on VRChat, or is it just a suggestion at this point? Nice to know it's just a place to get wasted and demonstrate mocapped alcohol poisoning. To think I applied to work there...

241

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 22/07/2026

Jeez, @valvesoftware.com, I only paid for it 4 days ago! You didn't need to rush delivery it, though I am appreciative.

020

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 17/07/2026

While my internet was out, I decided to give my Steam backlog some love. I knew what I'd be up for with doing this for a low-cost target... but getting that last part took me a good 30 minutes of head banging to figure it out. Also, the fact that this did appear on my KDE desktop is impressive.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 15/07/2026

New desk setup. Backlights installed and printing out the case for the ESP32 control board. I use Arch, btw. And yes, thanks to Proton 11.1, transparent backgrounds seem to be working on On-Together, so maybe more fixes will come out for other systems.

020

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 06/07/2026

A bit of a question: I've been sitting down and deciding I want to just focus on porting some avatars over... but I kind of like the HUD menu system I used on this port. I know most people are used to the radial menus on VRC and Resonite and can make both happen, but I'm curious what people think.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 05/07/2026

Slowly redoing the wiring and reorganizing my desk. Desk drawer is lined up with Gridfinity bins and finished assembling Workshop Hero's modular desk shelf.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 01/07/2026

No problem! Any idea how long Zeffy takes to process? It has already cleared on the bank side of things, so just trying to make sure it arrives to you with no issues.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 30/06/2026

3D printer is still acting weird, but I can learn to goof with this cheap ESP32 display in the meantime.

020

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 28/06/2026

Out of season, my ass! GROW MY FUCKING MINIONS! I WANT MORE SALAD!!!

020

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 27/06/2026

Is this what playing RE4 is like? Anyway, trying to make progress with organizing my desk with the help of GridFinity. Granted, I had to dismantle my 3D printer because it got clogged something fierce, but oh well... that's what I get for having an Ender 3...

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 27/06/2026

You just have to say that you're fine, when you're not really fine...

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 27/06/2026

I've been doing this kind in Resonite of thing for years, but I'm also VERY happy to see a more native solution than the hacky approach I had to come up with. Hopefully the buffered latency issue can be partly addressed for local access, which would be fantastic. This example is from 2022.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 27/06/2026

I've been doing something similar to this for awhile, but Froox's version is FAR easier to work with. For reference, this was 4 years ago and was visible to everyone.

110

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 25/06/2026

Decided to try something new.

200

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 20/06/2026

Okay, this was neat. I had to renew my login for boot.dev, and then this cropped up.

000

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 18/06/2026

Okay, my back hurts after doing this all day. But I'm pretty happy with the results on the garden. I still have to repot the tomatoes, but I am donig that later. Pulling the poison ivy and diging up the old dirt was enough work for me today.

030

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 17/06/2026

I've been getting into gardening and landscaping. I combined it with 3D printing to help build accessories and other finishing touches. It's like a real life idle game at this point.

010

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 14/06/2026

Why are these puppies growing so damn fast?! Also, I am really happy with the wood stain. It's shiny.

110

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 13/06/2026

Oh fuck, nevermind, it's even MORE like the Unity situation that everyone has magically gotten over. This is so dishonest, it's shameful. Linden Lab's post PRIOR to the one sent out via emails had additional details that clearly showed how things are NOT better.

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 12/06/2026

So if you explore around Toasty: Ashes of Dusk's assets in the Kickstarter update announcement... Say hi to Ascot for me. It was always my intention to let him live on and hopefully give people the same smile he always gave me.

101

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 12/06/2026

This was all a year prior to him passing away in 2024. I had received the static sprite art for confirmation, but had no idea there were actual animations. I had also left out any updates about his health since I had no idea what role they would potentially have and didn't want to alter it.

110

Flame Soulis @flamesoulis.com · 12/06/2026

So, sadly, a Kickstarter project for a game ended up getting canceled, which was initially sad to hear until I read about the assets for the project being released so people can review what had been completed. Inside this archive, I found Ascot, the character I had backed based on the real Ascot.

I may lower the height by rotating the blocks. Otherwise happy with the stained wood benches.
