Merge Complete

Today was a … day, at work. I mean, it’s always a day of sorts, but work is always, you know, work. But I got out, I drove, I arrived, I shoved food into my gullet, and then I sat down to reformat the front matter of over one hundred...

The Fediverse, For Those Who've Never Used It

Back on Wordpress, before I hit the nuke button, and was subsequently apparently locked out of my Digital Ocean account … just because my Github e-mail changed, I had a page dedicated to explaining the fediverse, and showing off the different ways you could interact with ActivityPub. I have put...

Nova Prime, Initiated!

What do you do when you have a day off from work? Do you play some viddygames? Do you go outside and roll around in the grass, praying you don’t accidentally slob around in some poopoo? Well, that’s not what I do. Today, I sat down in front of my...

Another day, More Content

Today, I struggled with myself to push through my final day of work for the week, so that I can come home to my one day off until I go back to work on Sunday! But, with the prospect of having a little bit of extended time to myself, I...

Days Later, But With More Stress

So it’s been a few days since I’ve posted here on the new site, and there’s a really great reason for that! I was having a huge error with pagination. Or, to be more specific, the deprecated paginator plugin for Github’s Jekyll. I think I must’ve gone through about forty...

Moving Forward

For about four or five months, I’ve been using Wordpress to push out all my larger thoughts, ideas, and musings. I have to admit, Wordpress is pretty simple, and very convenient. It requires a whole lot of just … typing what you want, and then slapping post, and nothing else!...

Mastodon: Become Immortal, the Logical Next Step in Federated Social Media

Mastodon is obviously an already established and semi-well known social network–A user-owned network of communities. But one of the biggest issues I always see the corporate social media denizens talk about, is that the loss of content when moving instances (sometimes, you have to do this) is one of the...

Wuthering Waves: Genshin Impact, But For Adults

Wuthering Waves is another mobile game that crosses the boundaries between your phone, your console, and your PC. Much like the games that came before it via MiHoYo, it proves that a gacha can be so much more than a slot machine rewarding you with anime girls. For years and...

The First Descendant: Bunnies & Guns Edition

Over the past week, I’ve spent a little time here and there checking out the latest game out of grindy, microtransaction game maker, Nexon. This is what I think about it. Hold up, haven’t I seen this before? Back in the olden days of gaming o’ yore, there was a...

Why Bluesky Will Probably Never Be It

This is going to be a sort of long one (or maybe it won’t?), because I have a lot of thoughts as a tech and social media enthusiast, and some of those thoughts have to do with how I feel about the direction that social media is moving in. How...
