node.js compilation times beating all time records ... like biggest compilation time number ever :suave:
Who the heck sent me to do this? lol (me obviously)

Well, it was fine in the end. Tasted a little different, but seems like garlic sauce can survive one night out in the open. Probably shouldn't do that again though :p
Well, I guess I spent the entire day doing this fucking thing (story timeline aka events), instead of doing something useful. And I'm not even done yet.
I just thought I could put some ideas down, and it blew up in my face. The heck am I even doing anyway?
By the way, Obsidian is proving to be useful for this sort of thing. If only I can make sense of this thing afterwards.
It feels very dirty to use the Keychron app. It's a web app, so you navigate to some page, and the browser then interacts and writes to a device on the system (the keyboard in this case). Since I'm on linux that failed on the first try, and then had to do some specific config to allow it.
Luckily I don't think I will use that thing too much.
Still doesn't feel right letting some JS from the cloud configure a local device like that.
Anyway,...
Lol strangely enough I'm finding myself holding my breath when placing some marks in the canvas, as if it was a sniper shot xD Luckily these marks aren't too long, otherwise ...
Jumping into 2D animation while still not handling a single frame drawing is basically trying to run before learning how to walk... but screw that! I'll jump into it, crash into a wall, and try to move forward... with whatever body parts that survive that crash lol rinse and repeat.
Hopefully the very few things I've picked up ages ago while doing this exact same thing but in Blender, will make it a little familiar.
Funny that I think I should have listened far more to a lot of music I nowadays consider aweomse, back when I was younger and this music was fresh back then.
Can't I go back in time to slap the shit out of that younger me for not listening to all of that awesome music earlier? lol
Scrappers are very insistent in probing /tags/* to fetch posts. Still have that route banned, and even when I banned that a few days ago, I still see hits, altough less frequent to probe. Got it under control for now, but I'm pretty sure the moment I return 200 on it again they will come en mass knocking that door again lol If that happens I'm strongly considering sending them to a redirect loop somewhere xD

It's here! :face_fuchsia_tongue_out: Finally.
My new keyboard (bottom one). Don't judge my taste :P but I really like the retro look. I usually don't care about lighting, but this one might change my thoughts on that xD Will keep them off anyway.
Feels solid. Wish it was more clicky, but I can actually make it that way later, pretty nice to be able to pull switches LOL I love that.
The most important thing: it works 100%, unlike my other one. Less headaches typing and less typos too.
Been told a moment ago that my sister's cat got mauled by dogs earlier this week. Poor thing D:
That's one reason I forbid myself from having any pets.

I still see that damn truck going around my block, it went like 3 times already xD Give me my package already!! :face_fuchsia_tongue_out:
Now that I have nothing to during the day, I started checking some disks that were giving me some failures earlier this year when I was away. I usually take a carry disk with me on some trips in case I need to do file transfers or whatever.
Apparently, all the failures I had on multiples disk were due to the carry disk itself being faulty. Using my other dock they seem fine.
I guess I'll have to discard the other carry disk. Bummer, I liked that one.
LOL walked a little over 4km for no reason and I'm regretting it.
"Go for a walk" they said, "it's healthy" they said. Now my right ankle hurts.
It's been some time since I went out and walk to be fair. Hope this goes away tomorrow.
Noticing a teeny tiny background noise from my headphones that either wasn't there before or I just started to notice. Something is being embebbed in the typical white noise, and is confusing me sometimes, making me think it's something external lol.
The so called "fritanga" xD
Doing some introspection I find it unconfortable I can't name any specific activity as just for relaxing. I don't even know what could possibly fill that. Gaming comes close, but big games tend to turn into a chore for me, and I'm not really playing that much anyway. Not to mention I end up feeling guilty for wasting time afterwards.
How weird is that?
Officially unemployed, as of right now onwards. Yay?
A long internal debate about what the heck is it that I want to do next and how awaits me.
Maybe I should just sell bread. Everyone will always want bread, right? (jk)
Anyway, yeah.
Ultimately decided to give up on this G413 keyboard and get a new one. No amount of cleaning will fix it, and replacing switches is not much of an option since I can't get them easily.
Not gonna go with gaming keyboards this time. My next one will be a Keychron. Also wireless, which is convenient. Was thinking on checking if there were keyboards where I can easily replace switches, and the Keychron I'm getting is hot swappable. So that's a big improvement.

The world of aluminium doors is quite complex and confusing. Lots of different parts, mechanisms, and screws for the exact same doors. Not a single set of instructions on how to repair any of it. Hidden screws, weird procedures to remove certain pieces, etc.
I guess nobody ever thought a manual for a door would be needed, but I think it's needed so I don't have to pull out a hammer to fix a stupid door.
Having that bipolar state of mind after investing a couple of days into a single drawing, thinking it's either the stupidiest thing ever or actually slightly interesting, before finishing it. It happens every couple minutes when I stop for a moment xD
Hopefully I don't trash it prematurily and push through to finish it.
I'm tired of being tired.
I'm very tmpted to swap my bike's exhaust for an aftermarket one. I just can't get enough of that pr pr pr pr (270° crank), at low RPMs.
Will probably hate it on a long trip though xD Or not... I won't know until I experience it.

Funny when failing far too many rolls in BG3, how can the best archer of the party miss a point blank arrow to someone toppled on the floor almost unconscious? Lol was there a sudden 9.0 earthquake I didn't notice?
The moderation tools for hashtags in the mastodon admin part is quite basic given the number of hashtag to review. Got too many to even use that. Hope it gets some improvement eventually.
Had to resort to console to script some mass disables/approvals. There's so many of them lol And new ones get added every day.
Anyway to have some control over what gets served via the /tags path from mastodon instance? Not sure if there are additional envars or settings to limit what can be looked up on that path. Noticing far too many requests to that endpoint with random tags.
Banned the entire thing in the meantime :p
Spent the entire day working with 2 CDN options to try drop here, config after config, command after command all day long without it working properly, and just got bitten by a stupid cache from nginx serving me an old file.
Caches are evil.
Spent my entire Sunday doing nothing on purpose. No phone, no PC, no doom scrolling, no TV, no chores. Just sat on my couch and stared at the floor or what was in front of me.
Was hoping to induce sever boredom and maybe see if I'm drawn to do something in particular. But no, nothing considerably strong. In the end I took a pencil and doodle just a little before dinner.
Hours of doing nothing just to assert my brain is maybe fried lol Couldn't even answer the question.
Earlier today, as I was waking up, I considered I could [try]:
- Making a scalie tail
- Making claws
- Making scales
- Making a head, hands and feet
- Even properly "equip" it
Would I dare getting into that rabbit hole? Would I even dare wear all those things?
Very random thoughts I had. Maybe that furcon I went to did spark something after all. But nah... I have other worries to attend.
All of that inspired to make this silly thing :p Any excuse to draw is a good excuse.
I think I managed to tame some of the unwanted traffic I was having, so it was a productive day, unlike many others :p
Quite nerve wracking leaving the motorcycle with its stand on a somewhat uneven ground making it barely stay up :p It doesn't help that streets aren't as flat as one might think.
Wobbly but surely :p First 2D animation I ever do :D NGL I got that "wow" sentiment of seeing it moving as with 3D animation looong ago. Barely scratching the surface here, but hope I can do more of it eventually. Sketchy as heck, but it's done... for now. Been wanting to do this specific thing for a loong time, and will likely redo it in the future. Quite the tedious process xD Got a sore shoulder now lol
Also, yeah, I'm one of those. Deal with it :p

Might be too early to judge, since it's been like 2 days, but I replaced some lights from white LED to warm LED, and it seems this has actually helped reduce some eye strain. I still hate warm LEDs, but if it works it works. Will try to track this moving forward to be more certain.
BTW There seems to be a very annoying bug in Krita. When editing a comment of a storyboard item, hitting CTRL+Backspace to remove a word, as most text editors do, instead it makes a fill operation in the canvas with whatever secondary color is in place, but the problem is that it can't be undone lol, it destroys whatever drawing was in place for that storyboard item.
I should probably disable that shortcut because CTRL+Backspace is hard wired in my brain by now.
Hearing my mouse screen updates from my PC, I hope that isn't a bad sign. Haven't noticed this until now.
Yay! My old Pi still works perfectly. Still slighly annoyed that it reboots when I plug a USB onto it lol minor thing.
Glad I still have it and that it runs, so I can set it up to do some lengthy diagnostics overnight without a worry and without having to lock my main pc or laptop with task. Slowly but surely :p
No Man's Sky added a pokemon-like thing to it :O In the sense of collecting creatures and making them fight in turn based combat.
One too many eggs, but in no way I was gonna leave the half-dozen pack with just 1 remaining :p
Turns out, trying to use a nitrile glove and a drawing cloth glove to prevent sweat wherever I slide my hand on is far from a good choice, good sliding but very awkward grip.
Had to try, since it was a strangely warm day, even though it's still winter.
Mind got foggy for a moment and suddenly I have a ticket for an event on my hand... :p
Feels weird to be at job hours with absolutely nothing to do. Not assigned to anything, and a week away to part ways from this position, so not gonna get anything assigned either way.
