Is this new? Goddamnit. I fucking hate Puritans. Thank god for Blacksky or I'd be fucked. Decentralization is the fucking way.

A splash screen in my Bluesky Android App demanding I attest my birthdate before letting me log in and then simultaneously bullshitting me with an error that I recently did so when I know for a fact that I did not. All of this to crush the most vulnerable people at the behest of giant tech company oligarchs that got sad one day and decided now we must all suffer to reinforce their bullshit hegemony. I hope every big tech company crumbles to dust.

Meet: Nordclaus Here to bring Tamriel holiday cheer and serve looks

Nordclaus: my Oblivion nord character. Oldest skin preset with red everything and the widest possible everything. Their head is almost completely round and jolly with a full facial beard and a Mohawk with red and orange highlights.

Nordclaus just finished some combat and decided to serve you a look from the floor to their left and below, looking up as they tilt their head to the side to meet your gaze. You're welcome. They have a sword now for some reason. It's probably fine.

I apologize to Joanna for catching strays here but I have to be sure I never see a single person babble about Gavin ever again

I have added the word "Newsom" to my muted words and tags because Gavin Newsom is a miserable piece of shit diet fascist and I hope the absolute worst things for him in his life.

If you ever wondered what a full outer representation of my gender expression would be in a fictional space... Say hello to my Code Vein 2 character

My Code Vein 2 character. I don't think I'll get everything but I will try. A broad and tall heavily muscled bald lad with a fair complexion, black and red devil horns with a pattern like mixed ink, a giant all red rubber duck sits atop their head. Their face has red tattoos that almost form wings going from the interior of the eye and unfolding into the chin and forehead. They have a white feather cape with pink lining that goes down each arm and is wrapped with purple rose vines and roses. They have a red dress on that is cut in multiple lines below the bust line and down the rib line. It has almost lace like circular ruffles along the bust line and in an open v-shaped slit in the front that starts at the middle of the ribs. There are black leather straps tied in random places around the body and as the straps of the red dress. Black gloves and knee-high boots riding the line between latex and leather complete the look.

I have let my books collection fall into disrepair for far too long, so this weekend's project now is to fully reconstitute, categorize, organize, and upload to my e-readers my library. Four months since I've read a book... fuck that's depressing. We fix!

A good day indeed and a big step in getting Google out of my life.

A screenshot of my gmail account saying 137049 conversations will be deleted from my gmail. A glorious step in the progress to tell big tech to go fuck itself with a rusty tire iron.

It works but some anti-virus suites have it marked as suspicious

A screenshot from Bitdefender saying the website in question of this post is suspicious, which is bullshit.

I bet you not OpenAI and not a single other tech company currently burning our power grid and planet has ever once been spend shamed for it by their utility provider.

So, I'm about to have a bunch of LLM SlopBros come at me. How's your day going?

Okay so at least two people are going to be very mad at me for not resting but I got a burst of energy so clearly I had to make progress!

My new 45Homelab HL15 Beast chassis which is replacing my other 2 HL15 NAS units and combining them to save space and power. It is the black chassis with the black and red front plate, on top of the box it was shipped in with the back visible with the IPMI interface and HDMI connected to a KVM in case the addon video card takes over primary display so I can administer burn-in testing remotely. Left to right PCIe slots: 2 rtx4060 (second one not in yet), Asus Hyper m.2 x16 gen 4 card with 4 2tb nvme Samsung 990 evo plus in them for L2ARC and SLOG, LSI 9400-16i HBA, Mellanox ConnectX-5 25gb SFP28 NIC

I made my electronics pretty and I'm so glad I did

Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 phone with DBrand Grip textured black case with Solar Flare skin backing which is high resolution photography of a zoom in on a solar flare iirc or at least looks like it which I love

Apple iPad Pro 13 M5 with the Teardown skin from DBrand which is a high resolution detailed image of the insides of one from the back with only the back cover removed.

Naming all of your characters the same thing in a video game is all fun and games until you actually care who is who

Next up: Gala! More sweet and tart balance in this one. None of the flavor notes really sung to me though. A perfectly acceptable apple bite, but didn't wow me.

Crimson Tinted @thecrimsontint.com · 27/09/2025

First up... Fuji! SWEET. REALLY SWEET. Oddly, unlike my unpleasant Red Delicious experience, I didn't mind it. The sweetness was more full-bodied and honey-like. Tiniest bit of acidity at the end. Enjoyable!

Time for this week's apple taste test! Two contestants enter: one leaves! Fuji vs Gala! Thank you @polypolyoxenfree.me and @nyarlat-hotep.bsky.social for the suggestions! Let's begin!
