As much as I like a lot of the discord alternatives out there I fear they will all eventually face the same fate. Decentralised or someone wrapping the signal protocol into a discord like client is probably the only way to avoid this again.

Stop it. Get outta my head.

My bed could maybe fit one panda. A whole express train of pandas has potential to cause structural damage to my bed and potentially the surrounding area. This doesnt account for the financial damage for the renovations that laying railroad track on top of my bed would incur.

Why would I want a panda express in my bed?

I hate to say the gremlin is growing on me

Are there prequels for this? I’ve not watched anything in the extended nasuverse.

Thats cool and all but hyprland and dank material shell are just too good for me to switch off of.

Doesn’t play for me. Android, Boost client

And a pedophile.

Many such cases

I’m also in the process of migrating away. Many reasons. Mainly that fastmail offers me a better experience. And I get simple website hosting and custom domains out of it. I’ve replaced pass with 1Password and will switch to mulvad once my proton subscription expires.

My drive hosting I’ve migrated to a copyparty container on tailnet. Cloud editing and such is solved by proxy as copyparty supports WebDAV so I can just edit files with onlyoffice or the like. Even works for obsidian and Todo list syncing.

VPN and pass is probably protons best offering. Everything else always feels half baked.

If you genuinely care about digital security, self host. No tech company will ever solve it. I’ve minimized my dependencies to fastmail (mail, calendar, webhost), desec (DNS), codeberg, 1password, and tailscale. YouTube is also unavailable as it’s an insane trove of knowledge. Also bit the bullet and bought a kagi subscription and it feels nice to find things on the internet again.

Best of luck in your journey.

Kind of can but its easier for me to spam commits to main instead. https://github.com/nektos/act

Introducing: NeuraLink Your thoughts are now pay as you go

Adhesion and bedmesh calibration should solve the explosions/under extrusion in far back. The stringiness/ bad line-line adhesion is from bad z level calibration.

Many good recommendations here already.

I can also list some that have some good scenes:

• appocalypse hotel specifically episode 11
• most Makoto Shinkai works are very pretty i.e. Suzume no Tojimari
• people have already called out Kyoto Animation studios and they consistently deliver some of the most visually captivating shows
• I’ll also call out Soushimin series it’s more understated than Hyouka and Frieren but something about it is always pleasant. The aspect ratio contributes a lot.
• Chainsaw man, Reze movie specifically. The fireworks. The pool. The explosions. Much more cinematic than Frieren’s fantasy pallette but the color work is perfection.

Many such cases

Opposites attract and all.

I do. I think I do. I’ve tried a good bunch. Guitar, piano, drawing. I want them to culminate in that pipe dream of a game. I have half a dozen barely started things I ‘deer in headlights’ stare at in my free time or rummage through them in my head in a zone out daydream. Only to just end up killing time getting through my game and anime backlog. Get excited, start, give up and do the easy thing. Rinse and repeat.

I eat quite alright. Your concern is appreciated. That’s the thing that’s stuck with me since moving to US. We don’t eat out 99% of the time. I’ve lost a good bit of weight too since two years ago once I took over the meal planning from my dad. Much like games and anime I get to turn off while cooking. Just a chemistry set with concrete inputs and outputs. Instant feedback on if it sucked too '^_

Appreciate the invite. A different time, should the universe have our paths cross again under different stars. My brain won’t see the offer for anything but a pity and eat away at me more. I write something similar every year for a few years now. Decided to post this on a whim. Or maybe it was that this year is so dreadfully unbearable. I’ve rationalized things every which way I could imagine. Each perspective, a prism shard; contorting a reflection to the point where I don’t know which image is me. Here I go waxing poetic again. A melancholic stupor having me for an actual writer. The gall of some people these days.

As for a therapist. An old class mate from America I check in with from time to time told me how soul crushing of an experience it was for her to find a good one. I don’t know if I fear vocalizing what I wrote more than being chewed through a system designed to extract money out of me with naught to show for it. Or it’s the laziness talking again. If there are ways to find a good one near me, I’ll try. Appreciate any info.

Lastly, and as already stated, thanks for reading; this as well. I’ve debated replying to anything from this. But it’s the least courtesy for your time.
