What's your guys' preferred app for android - linux local network file share? I don't have dropbox on this side and I'd rather not write the thing myself, lol. Just something that can quickly share pictures and such.

After two more reinstalls, (Lol my boot USB was in BIOS mode. Figures.) I am finally properly dual-boot'd. Lagrange idents imported, most everything reasonably up to speed. Another evening spent fighting keyboard customisation with Wayland, I've simply fixed my X11 and abandoned the former for its /evil/ lack of kb customs- my poor wrists can't take all that shifting lol. Oh and a new Ryzen 5600 coming in a day or so, small upgrade over the old 3600.

Got a roll of portra 400 comin in next wednesday. I got em digitised too so I'll look at whether any of them are worth posting. Should have a few cool ones. Next one's on Ektar 100 since it's so bright out.

I have a couple cool new lenses: a 70-200mm f4.5 and a 28mm f2.8. Been shooting a bunch with the big zoom tube, lotsa urban photography. Precious, sweet, *cheap* old FD mount.

I got a pop-up today announcing that win10 will reach its EOL next year... I think it's time to finally install Linux properly on my desktop hardware. Ordered a little nvme so I can keep my music/gaming software on the win-side that I'll just... allow to "upgrade" to 11 and keep it compartmentalised away from anything else. I'm thinking... EndeavourOS maybe. Eh, will see.

Ahhh finally found a good way to get my speakers outta the way- hooked them on the bookshelf on the other side of the apartment to an old laptop, also on said bookshelf, ssh into it to run cmus or mpv etc. Ideal apartment audio.

I just discarded 2 days of code and now am fixing the 40 bugs that I created in the process. I'm surrendering this codebase to a higher power now. Attached is me currently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJUhlRoBL8M

I have coded more. TIl 8am last night. Welp, everything is automated, as many bits as you like per colour channel. Turns out even 4 bits of info per channel is barely noticeable. I am 100% over modular arithmetic forever. I dreamt of it and slept very poorly, lol.

Random chat platform idea: every user starts with 1 "socket". Press "connect" on that socket and you're randomly connected to another user, and after chatting a bit, you can accept/deny the connection. Getting an accept gives you 1 extra socket. (you can close connections at will). Getting 2 denies loses you one. You can choose to open the new socket for a new connection, which will randomly be sampled from all users, biased toward users related to more "accepted" users. Slowly you gain available sockets and are paired with a dynamically changing graph of users who share your interests. Like an evolving omegle.

Been feeling all dizzy and very forgetful, foggy for four weeks since having a mild cold. I swear to god if I get some sudden long covid thing that stays with me forever, bring on the ME/CFS, gaaahhhh.

The new Shogun adaptation is pretty great, though some clever cinematographer got the clever idea of using a wide-open anamorphic lens for every shot, making the whole thing look like a hazy fisheye dreamscape. So much vignetting, chromatic aberration, and distortion.

Developments in AI make me think about whether I should consider humanity's greatest strength its ability to deduce and think logically, which is being challenged, or just the ability to enjoy one's life, outside the nihilistic perspective of everything turning to dust and being forgotten in the course of thousands of years of history. Of course, for some, enjoying one's life is synonymous with intellectual challenge and accomplishment, but I guess I fear most that the average person will no longer feel impelled to challenge oneself when an unsurpassable creative force can dictate to them any mechanical course of action, or even thought.

Heyy, just got my first roll of film in. I'd say 30% good pics, 30% technically ok, terrible composition, 40% bad shots. I'm actually really into the ones that were underexposed on a strong light. Pet photos were obviously a gimme with an f/1.8 so those'll be popular. I got double prints cause it's free on mondays.

My important service to the world today: you probably mean "raises the question" when you say "begs the question", unless you mean the logical fallacy of assuming the conclusion in the premises, /petitio principii/.

My favourite existential philosophy is the mathematical universe hypothesis, which asserts that the universe is fundamentally nothing but math, and truth. A Turing machine can add numbers together... play a game... theoretically simulate a finite universe... The fact that that mathematical structure obviously can exist can give birth to a reality simply by being an even theoretically sound idea. You and I, its natural consequence at some unfathomably high-numbered step.

I'm considering signing every diary entry and blog post and whatnot with "in the year of two plus two equals four" in 2024. It's too good to pass up.

Solution for a better internet: you cannot post anything, anywhere, without writing at least 300 words.

Thought: modern social media embodies the saying "those who can't do, teach" precisely. Hardly anyone a master of their craft, they tend to be slightly above mediocre artists and craftspeople giving advice on how to accomplish their failed dreams.

Learn Finnish, you'll get to say "in the 1997th" as "tuhannennessayhdeksännessäsadannessayhdeksännessäkymmenennessäseitsemännessä". Or avoid saying things in that manner to save your sanity, but who am I to judge? "from 1994 to 1997" would colloquially just be "välillä/vuodet ysineljä ysiseiska" to avoid compound words with forty syllables. I had to consult wiktionary to make sure I was inflecting that properly, and I'm native!

I have purchased three separate tomes of Oxford dictionaries of English, each between 1100 and 1600 pages. Paper dictionaries are the best. You can get lost in them, and you don't have to go to the computer to check something with variable results and etymological veracity.

I want to see more youtubers who swear hard. Advertiser appeasement affects language itself, now. Fuck you. Ah, fucking solid catharsis I'd get, from that. Everything feels very soft around the edges, prepackaged and smoothed out for the consumer.

I'm hit by an urge to read lots of classic and modern literature. Shakespeare, Pynchon, and that godforsaken mess of infinite recursive reference that is Joyce. Maybe I'll start from the shallow end.

Interesting to think that all of culture is built from pretty much nothing interesting. Forests and sand and endless water. Thousands of years of culture from nothing. It gives me pause to consider just how arbitrary everything we value fundamentally is. And if we left the world as is and disappeared as a species, none of the things produced would ever have purpose or meaning.

I've thought for a long time that I've learned to deal with my ADHD constructively, but recently, I'm starting to think I have pretty severe issues with executive dysfunction. Periods of extreme hyperfocus sweep me away to dedicate everything to art, followed by intensely apathetic weeks of being unable to do *anything* but scroll reddit, because there's too many interests and hobbies that require your time, so you just fizzle out after two minutes on all of them. Bleeeugh.

I've been shredding some Yngwie Malmsteen stuff lately. It's so tiring for the left hand, makes you all sluggish after a good fifteen minutes of practice. Fun though. I never did much sweep picking so it's really filling in some blanks there.

I've begun to find the word "hobby" slightly irksome. It somehow makes me think "your passions are commodified distractions" instead of "this is what you're alive for and what you want to dedicate your life to."

Thought: the culture you grow in irrevocably influences your thought so much that a major reason the world is socially more fractured now is because the world is changing faster and faster (internet), making it harder for each successive micro-generation to relate to the previous and fundamentally understand the ideas they hold dear. This occurred when I realised just how much "being Finnish from the early 90s" has to do with any argument I might have with someone from a different country. Very subtle, usually, but I've been paying attention more, lately. No one was born in a vacuum without cultural ideas, just associations made to stimuli. Arbitrary base truths.
