Stuff and Things

So school is back, which means a couple of things for me, like having a decent meal every weekday and access to tools and resources that I don't have at home. However, there are also backside to this.
For example, I really don't like most of my class. For example, ü̸̧͓̑̑b̵̮̈́ę̴̈́͝r̵̼̉̆ ̶̺͛6̸̧̠̂͝0̵̢̅ ̷̻̮͑̑%̶̞́ d̸̻̈́͝ȩ̵̳͗ś̴͎̈ ̷͇͙̿k̵͕̮̔͐l̶̨͑ḁ̷̭͗̐s̷̹̉̈́s̵̝̋e̷͍̲̓̎ ̷̫̒ŕ̵͔͝a̸̟̓̾ṵ̵̈͂c̷͙̈́̉h̸͇̺̓͠é̶͍n̸̞͖̈́̃.̷͕̒̈́ Uh, well that was strange. Well, *anyways* This year has been going pretty well so far. I recently also started D̸̙͐e̸̫͎̍͝ů̸̲̈́t̴̠̋c̸̯̹̄͘h̷̙̤̃ḛ̵̥͐̅ ̸̨͇͐͘l̷̦͜͝ẽ̵̙ͅŗ̴͙͋͝n̵̯͆ě̴̱n̴̤̎ und.. Huh, this again.

I also changed the way I'm managing my projects this year. I've decided to only have one project going at once and to log all of my projects this year.

Usually before the beginning of the year I'll try to give myself unreasonable goals, but This time is different. I have no overly ambitious plans for this year. I just want to continue what I was doing last year.

Also, Sabrina Online just got updated.
Just felt like pointing that out.

American Power Converters my beloved 💚

My UPS decided ti just die on me in a recent thunderstorm, so I had to move all my computer activities.
I could have just plugged all my stuff in with regular IEC power cables, but for some reason I didn't realize this at the time.

So I'm stuck with a weird computer setup without a single normal 16:9 monitor. Instead I have a 4:3 main and a 9:16 aux monitor, which is actually better then the main 4:3 monitor. (hehe wizard cat :3)

But there's a thing: I didn't move my main computer from it's place, and yet I'm still using it! Well, let me tell you all about RDP. Actually, no never mind. Okay, just one little thing: The audio latency SUUUUCCCKSSS!!! And it doesn't support(?) having multiple displays on the remote machine, so I'm basically using two computers at the same time, and each of them get one screen.

Here's the rest of the problems I've been having: Gaming over RDP is a no-go, the copy/paste macros on my mouse aren't working and I GET DOUBLE DISCORD PINGS EVERY SINGLE TIIIMEEE!!!!

Blog update: Blog writer and RSS feed

So far I've been using my IDE to write these posts, but I recently had the idea to make a simple... uh.. program? or website? or a web app? to make it much easier. almafa64 also suggested, that I should make an RSS feed for the blog, so I did. I've been wanting to add an RSS feed to my website, I just never had a reason to do so before. I also gave the blog posts IDs, so I can easily reference them. I', planning to add some more features, like rich text support, links and copy buttons for the generated code but I think this is good enough for a first version. This is the first post I made using the new blog writer.
Big shout out to almafa64, who helped me with some of the code.
(I've literally never used JS before this.)

Sabrina Online *

I recently started reading the Sabrina Online webcomic written by Eric W. Schwartz. Here are my thoughts so far:
The comic strip is about the life of a skunk called Sabrina, and her friends. It also contains a lot of Amiga-related humor, and just tech in general. I've really enjoyed it's meta humor, with it's 4th. wall breaking and comments on real-live events such as the Y2K bug. I also find the passage of time fascinating. Sometimes the strips directly continue the action in a previous one, and other times months go by between two strips. For example, Sabrina just finishes collage off-screen. There's a bunch of adultery in it, but it's an EWS comic, what were you excepting?
In conclusion, It's a great comic and you should go read it.

New setup

I recently got this HP monitor from a friend of mine. I didn't know what I was going to use it for, I just picked it up because he didn't need it anymore, and it's also way better than most of my monitors. My first plan was to use it in a retro computer workshop setup, but before I got to that I decided to connect it to my laptop with a USB type-c port adaptor. Then I got a new shelf for my main desk from stretched Lidl (aka Ikea), but it turned out that it doesn't fit my main setup, so I moved it to my sib's old desk and I used it to organize their stuff. So now it's Kind of a communal computer area for the entire family, which isn't really what I was going for, but I think it's still a nice setup.

Graduation

Graduation took place at Pataky. But it wasn't my graduation.

...But it could have been. Today, my old class graduated, including acquaintances, former good friends, and the like.
This graduation was different from the others, because this time it wasn't strangers or relatives I barely knew who were graduating. This time, it was real friends.

I'm afraid I'll never see them again and I hope I'm wrong.
