been reading Russel's "history of western philosophy," his prose is really decent and it's been great fun. let's see aristotle ruin science for a thousand years, next, lol.

ok that's it i'm gonna start playing a ton of metal. it's satisfying as hell and enforces good technique most of the time. only downside is that i'm gonna do deaf in two weeks.

dude Igorrr's 2020 album "Spirituality and Distortion" is fucking amazing. I don't know how they got the strings so punchy. I need a better preamp, hell yeah.

Ok online dating is depressing so I'm goin full goblin mode with it. They say "what would be your warning label" on hinge and my answer is "iunno toxic or fragile lmao." It's not gonna go anywhere so I'm rollin it. "I like a guy who jumps into things" "what like from a bridge." I will not stop. Until I get bored, which is very soon. I can only read about liking dogs so many times.

the worst part of summer and awful sleep cycles: east-facing balcony door starts clicking periodically in the morning due to thermal expansion. keeps me up!

Went swimmin prolly for the last time this summer- it's getting cold! cold cold cold! Ok probably around 17C. Reading Rice Boy and other graphic novels/webcomics by this guy, they're all really imaginative and colourful.

Ah crap, I dropped my guitar and one of the strings put a little dent in one of the frets. Hmm, how should I buff it out?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=89Nd1ZOUm_4 A little guitar thing I recorded. On a sidenote, it seems if you post more than one thing within some short time period, the second one won't show on the main page. Must've been a spam reduction tactic.

So I brewed some kilju, just sugar and brewing yeast. Cold crashed. 2€. 5L of about 15-17% booze. I am literally never buying alcohol again. This stuff... and this is slightly contentious, tastes essentially like cheap japanese sake. I have solved half my monthly budget.

cryptmaster is pretty sweet. gets a bit repetitive but the idea is overall fun and the narrator is brilliant.

On a tangential note, I've been practicing guitar a lot lately again. I'm basically god, now. Can't be, won't be stopped. Just fixing a few weak points over the past friggin 15 years of playing. I will shred the world. On an even further note, is mild megalomania a known side-effect of these ADHD meds?

I've been excited about math again. Been a while. Reviewing all kindsa functional analysis, categor theory, differential geometry. I kind of forgot just how satisfying writing a proof is.

Ooh, read all of Inio Asano's "Dead Dead Demon's Dededede Destruction" manga in one sitting. Oh man. Well less soul-crushing and more bittersweet than punpun, bit of a weak-ish ending, but overall very satisfying with a few really good emotional beats. 12 volumes. One sitting. Like 10-12 hours of reading. Gahhhhhh.

https://i.imgur.com/MX6Djj5.png Spent quite literally all of yesterday designing CNC schematics for a case for my split keyboard. This is the acrylic top, M5 bolt holes etc. Enormous amount of effort and expensive, too. Not sure if worth but pretty interesting to do.

I so want a split ergo keyboard with the dactyl-style concave bed. Shame they are absurdly expensive forever. Something like an Advantage360? Hell yeah.

Drank out yesterday. There was this random band, but the guitarist shredded something incredible. Actually possibly the best solos I've ever heard, I need to incorporate some of the ideas he used into my own playing.

The graph-based audio routing of pipewire/Jack is amazing. Want to route your guitar VST into a Discord call? Pull L/R from vst to call. Done. Want to go deaf? Pull sound card outputs to inputs. Done. Want to mix sixty audio outputs into a single channel for some reason in any given application in the entire system? Somehow... done. Actual magic.

Oh look, EU's chat control doing rounds again. Won't die. Desktop computing dying. Internet becoming a locked-down monoculture. Hmmm... give it 10 years, irrespective of any societal upheaval- feel like it's over. Won't be 2005 again, it's just going to be cable and tech literacy a thing of the past. I don't know anyone who owns a computer irl, anymore.

Ahhhh. Guitar Rig 7 on Linux. I'm in love, Guitarix wasn't cutting it, this sounds *incredible*. Yabridge + Carla, had to roll back Wine to 9.0 since it's kinda broken with it since 9.4+. Incredible, incredible sounds. Super good compressors.

I config til there's nothing left! Just got Photoshop 2021 working on openSUSE, with GPU support. If that works in a stable manner, Windows is pretty much completely obsoleted for me. Haven't logged into it for over a month (except to grab some fonts that were symlinked.)

Played Indika. Fuck me that was bleak and cynical, but very effective. Big fan, though could've been a movie.

Turns out Guitarix is... *pretty* good. Definitely passable. Also, inexplicably, Linux's audio is better than Windows'. ASIO hijacks it all, but Pipewire? You can just record it with anything. Still trying to make presets that compete with my Guitar Rig 5 presets, but I'm sure it can be done. Just a bit'a fiddlin to be done.
