Say, Internet people! Guess what I learned?! Suppose you used to burn CDs. Real good ones. Is the brand on them? What if you want to buy a spindle 10 years later? If you're a Linux house, you can pop a disc in, burned or blank, and run "sudo cdrecord -v -minfo dev=[DRIVE] to get the manufacturer.

STATUS UPDATE: I'm a fickle bitch and I switched stream automation solutions yet again. Hopefully I don't have to move again for a while. Third time's the charm! A lot of manual OBS Websocket Requests, but it works well so far. We'll see how it works on stream tomorrow!

A bad life choice came in the mail. I'm tired of fancy pricy keyboards with half the keys and being old "Just use overlays, bro." by SMEs when I complain. Why pay more for less?! A year waiting and a few hours of assembly, and now I have too many buttons! I now have to program most of them...

A repulsively large keyboard sits on a desk in front of a nest of assorted cables. Behind the keyboard is a Commodore 64. Slightly over half the keyboard's size.

The main key cluster contains additional keys with unclear labels, such as FUNCTION, BEGIN, and HYPER.

The cluster to the right is a common numberpad. The cluster to the left is completely foreign, including labels such as TTY, OZZY, and DEBUG. Random keys from other keysets are present due to a shortage of keycaps in the kit.

The top left cluster is mostly blank, and uses leftover keycaps from the keyboard kit. F1 and F2 are present.

The large top center cluster is completely blank with an exception of the bottom row, which has F3 through to F22

The top right is a mirror of the top left cluster, except F23 and F24 are installed rather than F1 and F2.

I know it looks bad in the last picture, but it gets better as the monitors warm up. I should change them but once they've been on for a few hours it goes away. And I never turn the computer off unless I'm away.

#SuperfluousMetadata Final day: A quick brunch with family Typical nonsense at the airport. 4 hours of multiple screaming infants on the plane. Infant threw small toy octopus at me. Finally home, and starting everything back up. A lovely trip all around!

A thin-bezel Westinghouse monitor is mounted on a monitor arm. Its display is unreadable. A small sliver of the display is rendering the expected grey. However, as further details are present, the rasterization catastrophically fails. A thin sliver of garbled imagery is immediately below the gray, only for a pattern of green vertical strings to appear from there onwards to the bottom.
