I’ve been meaning to start tinkering with my own #homelab for quite some time and finally managed to get my hands on a used Intel Mac Mini for cheap. Looking forward to tinkering with some home server stuff!

Some Megaman figures are also standing on the monitor stands.

That’s in part due to my ungodly unlucky 40+ run losing streak with Ironclad! Which… as of yesterday is now over!

Anyone got any info how to get off this fucking thing? Already working on transitioning away from Google but can't cut it off just yet.

Google Workspace "You've been selected to try new AI features" notice that came in my email. Has AI slop images included that aren't worth describing.

@erinys.bsky.social is (finally) letting me learn how to dye yarn, but there is a rule… #fibreart #yarn

So I’ve been going through the story on Genshim Impact and can’t be help make parallels between the Akasha and AI. Including the whole idea of creating a “god” to give humanity more wisdom. This line in particular aged like fine wine. Apologies for the potential plot spoilers, but it’s important.

Dialogue in Genshin Impact from a character named Alhaitham: “People who are used to relying on the Akasha become less inquisitive, and their ability to distinguish truth from misinformation is significantly reduced… They will view everything the Akasha releases to them as the unequivocal truth.”

How it's going: Wave spawning as a Godot Plugin! Still a bunch of cleanup to do, but should allow me to design waves of enemies without having to load up the scene each time. Plus it's the first plugin I've made for any engine editor! Also, multiple sets of enemies at once!

I’m ramping up for some more cross-stitch projects this year. First step, organizing my floss! Had inherited my mother’s old set years ago and never merged it with mine, created a bunch of space for more in the process! #crossstitch #fibreart

This is the image that the pattern for this project is based on, in case I have posted that yet. Artist credit to @erinys.bsky.social

Sometimes you gotta put a big project away for awhile, but then it’s like being reacquainted with an old friend. #crosstitch #wip

I started a new cross-stitch project this week, currently at 1% of the 32400 stitches needed to complete this. Which is the largest project I’ve ever done.

When you need to make your notes into flavour-text in order to keep yourself sane.

- Hostile Takeover
- When you don't want to be bought but are an idiot and put yourself in the public exchange so someone else can just buy all your shares.
- This becomes further idiotic when you try to make your business look worse than it is through a "poison pill" tactic

Noticed that the Steam Hardware Survey came looking for both my machines. So I had a little fun to see if I could price out a test rig (for #gamedev) using the specs in the survey. Mainly as a thought experiment. Not bad, honestly. About $1220 before taxes. ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/tffwcH
