re: page 5's main panel i suppose its not the anatomy as much as the facial structure and the hair and the lack of a sense of depth in general. in any case that is the main panel i wanna touch up
re: page 5's main panel i suppose its not the anatomy as much as the facial structure and the hair and the lack of a sense of depth in general. in any case that is the main panel i wanna touch up
but like for example i really like how page 6 came out, the flatter shading and use of black on Rena and the overlays contrasts with the lens distortion and textures of the background and the reflected light in her eyes <3
on that note i wanna redo page 5 and some panels here and there on other pages. the anatomy on page 5 is pretty atrocious in particular and while i like the approach of using true black for a "cleaner" look it doesnt work for every scene so i will be alternating between using that and the softer shading/coloring approach i used in the first 3 pages and that i tend to use in my sketches going forward as the composition demands
3 weeks left of grocerymaxxing ><
also page 9 of polycrisis is gonna be soooooo cute, i did the first couple passes of the lineart today ^^
love being an alienated parent
highly recommend it... /s
are there any IT co-ops that are doing alright right now? curious about the business model and viability of the strategy in the current situation... as a solo freelancer it looks pretty bleak all things considered #askFedi
#ryudov2 e2e test 2 complete. everything works although there is a build error in the cursor theme that doesn't affect the variant i actually use in the config :shrug:
some mornings be like that
trying so hard to be a grown ass responsible woman and wait out this month T-T
there is a mosquito infestation inside the co op. i got bit yesterday and again today, on top of seeing quite a few of them. my guess is they bred wherever in the roof there was pooled water (its a notoriously leaky roof that should have been fixed years ago instead of investing millions into the avanyu store but yk...) and after the roof was patched earlier this week they are effectively trapped in the store

paying the price of slow disk speeds to avoid thrashing my disk by putting my VM disk image on a usb drive :')
in the middle of ryudov2 e2e tests in a fresh VM
the environment is pretty complete at this point:
- openbox + tint2 (custom forks for the way minimized windows are handled)
- rio-like window management with some shell scripts bound to the root menu
- intuitive keybinds for window management and stuff like volume and brightness control
- st, pcmanfm-qt, surf, and mblaze for the big 4 default apps (mblaze, isync, and msmtp need to be configured by hand for email to work but ofc they do)
- external storage menu with udiskie and openbox pipe menus
- steppenwolf gtk2, gtk3, gtk4, qt5, qt6, and audacious/winamp themes with matching openbox and dmenu themes, and solarized-esque terminal theme (sorry we are darkmode only rn)
- commonality icon theme for that extra retro feel
- pipewire-pulse working out of the box
- a bunch of multimedia stuff, signal, and vivaldi installed by default
- optionally also install a bunch of hacker tools by passing -x to the configure script
- plan9-style user dirs (~/bin, ~/tmp, ~/n, ~/lib)
- a handful of wallpapers created by yours truly
so far i've been enjoying van life. joyful things:
- during my breaks and after work at my stupid day job i can just pop across the parking lot to my van and have my kitchen at my disposal
- bed is spacious despite all appearances; the moonroof and rear windows let in the perfect amount of light in the morning
- my 100W solar panel and 256Wh battery are more than sufficient for my electricity needs (i have a first gen x1 carbon and a remarkable 2 and a midrange android phone and a portable speaker and it's summer in the desert. i know fall/wintertime in cali will not be so kind to my setup but it should be good enough)
- i know which cafes in town have the best internet (shoutout iconik red) and i got a membership to the community center for the shower and sauna while i'm still here for another 5-6 weeks; socialism is pretty cool

oh i have to pull in the neralie clock shim for the tint2 config still ^^;
ok i still have to find time (and a good connection to abuse) to run this e2e another time but ryudov2 is looking pretty good in my test VM
https://forge.lightcrystal.systems/nilix/ryudov2
i also added an "extended" package list which has a lot of the tools power users and IT professionals might want, based on the package list in @leah's hrmpf project (still need to go over it and remove anything redundant that i didn't catch in my naive pass)
the heel panel on my OTHER boot started coming off now (3 or 4 months after the first which ofc already got cobbled). rude
i just wanna build a beautiful little desktop system but i gotta touch groceries....
we are about 4 or 5 lines of code away from having a fully working ryudov2 setup on top of a fresh void install with just a couple commands and some time spent downloading and compiling

Hello honknet and beyond!
I'm looking to get #fediHired, available for contract work starting in October!
I am a software and systems generalist, having built and worked on all sorts of systems in different types of environments from education to small business to enterprise. I have lots (6 years) of professional experience in .NET, javascript frameworks, TSQL, mongodb, docker, cloud native stuff, etc, and personally I build a lot of stuff in go, C, shell, and vanilla JS, and I have over 15 years experience as a Linux and BSD sysadmin. I can learn new stuff pretty easily especially when I'm hands on!
I'm looking for part time or full time contract work in any kind of #softwareEngineering, #devOps, or #softwareDesign role that is demonstrably not pure evil. Particular areas of interest are resilient distributed systems; accessible, friendly and low footprint user interfaces; and internal tooling/infra/DX. Working on stuff that actually matters like alternative power, food systems, or comms, or anything arts-adjacent would be ideal.
I prefer remote work but am open to relocation.
My CV is at https://wyrm.online/cv
other meals i will opt for a healthy cereal or like a snack plate with fruit and cheese or something that doesnt require cooking
yes i generally cook one well rounded meal like this per day on the tailgate of the g wagon
been cooking vegan lately
this is tofu skin, okra, wood ear mushroom and ginger yakisoba!
#theGalley
finally got a taker for my queen sized futon, now the only big logistical thing left with moving out is mailing my ex her stuff... inb4 she ignores me till the very last minute (she still hasnt told me the new address she and the kiddo moved to or given me an update on putting together the money to ship it... just stellar isnt it)

@nyx @azureazure @winterklaus when i was a teenager we literally called this "the holy trinity"
The US has declared Autistici/Inventati, an Italian anarchist hacker (in the classic sense of the term) collective, a terrorist organization. https://home.treasury.gov/news/press-releases/sb0616/
But what you really ought to read is this article about A/I's history, and what this means https://cavallette.noblogs.org/2026/08/10083
I'm concerned that the US government is starting to identify decentralized media infrastructure as a threat to its survival. Repost information about this broadly, and if you have media contacts, inform them of counter-narratives; there could come a time where the fediverse, or any decentralized network infrastructure, is a target as well if we don't sound the alarms now.

ok while i was waiting for laundry i added some more stuff to the #ryudov2 repository, we're approaching a usable system here. can't wait till i get some time to get it all wired up and test this end to end

@neauoire wooo! welcome back!
but im being a responsible mom and hoarding some child support money despite my personal feelings and the fact that talking to my coparent is like pulling teeth and she hasnt given me any meaningful communication besides "sorry i havent responded, stress- also do you have money for us?" in months (yes part of my travel plans for van life are going back east in the spring and being a part of my kid's life whether she likes it or not)
in particular i cant wait for this grocery wench era to be over. such a huge backlog of actually meaningful work to do T-T
1 week till the lease is up
5 weeks till my termination at the co op

(regarding the storage modules im excited to document everything once i finish moving out of here, the whole liveaboard setup has gotten a lot more refined since i started camping in the G wagon at the start of 2025)
ugh i cleared out a bunch of stuff from the house and while i was at the thrift store i picked up a couple nice bags (a canvas duffel and a backpack) to upgrade the storage modules that were a bit too limiting
tomorrow i clean the bathroom and kitchen really well
but tonight! blade or die!!
@ObsidianUrbex so awesome! glad you're making your dreams come true! looking forward to seeing how you transform the place.
i feel you on the mix of giddy excitement and reluctant workhorse energy, i am in a similar dichotomy rn emptying my house as i gear up for a long overdue van life era
chile seasonnnnn
i got a mushroom and green chile pizza from Bruja's last night and the green chile was so on point. reheating the leftovers now and whooo baby thats some good chile!
@Ashedryden and then i took an underpaid and overworked grocery job to pay rent ofc
@Ashedryden yeah i mean i worked my ass off to pay my rent this year
but at the start of the year when i had just quit WEX and living off savings? i did some of my best work and built dollctl (yes i started it before i quit but the bulk of the work was done after)
then when i started to run out of money my quality of work and ability to focus dropped dramatically
