Hi friends! I'm sharing with you #FFXIV players that moogl is now open for new folks to join! It's a site builder for your FFXIV characters. It's free and something I built specifically for my fellow players. It's got a custom site builder, guestbook, journal system, and more! I'd love it if players would give it a go and give me some feedback on the Discord. Thanks for reading! https://moogl.ing

Built a fun new site for FFXIV players to create little profile sites for their characters, with a guestbook and a journal. If you're a #FFXIV Player, you should take a look. <3 https://moogl.ing/

Okay, so I played a hidden object game on stream Saturday, and had a great time. Next time I will play Wheel of Fortune through the years - old versions of the classic wheel-spinning word game up through more recent iterations. :D

@foone@digipres.club 16 GIGABYTES?! What are you gonna do with all that space?!

@belghast@gamepad.club Just canceled, and I was a day one GamePass user. The $19.99 for Ultimate was already too expensive, a $10 increase per month is absolute insanity. Done with Microsoft *and* Nintendo so far this year, wonder what Sony's got up their sleeve for me to save more money against?

My oldest pup passed on Thursday. He was 15, and one of the best dogs I've ever known. He was my companion, my therapist, my snuggle buddy, and my supervisor for any time I worked on a project (whether it be cooking, building something, or even just playing games). I miss him so much already. Rest easy, Hawke. You deserve your retirement. Love you, buddy-boy.

Our loved ones never truly leave us, do they? He'll be with me every day of my life going forward.

@kris@gamepad.club I've been working really hard on trying to get my head around "do what you need to do, not what everyone wants you to do" and it's been a slow struggle. I hope voicing it helped - hearing someone else struggling with this makes me feel a bit better about it, I think.

Thanks for sharing.

I'm all for people playing the way they want, but I find the discourse around FFXIV to be some of the most garbage I've seen for the game in a very long time. Don't use mods that impact other people -- it's a simple thing that you can do to avoid the ire of Squenix. It's their game, their right to shut down whatever mods they want. Either don't bitch or move on, but complaining makes you look like a nob.

@jankhambrams@meh.social Hopefully it turns out okay! It's one thing to color a sample, it's another to actually get the models to work the way I want. :D

Gonna build my own custom Nintendo GameCube case and theme it after sakura, I think. Here's my concept, I've got filament on the way and a new print plate (cheap Chinesium one I bought actually lifted some of the base plate off when removing a print) so I should be able to start printing.

This is a rough draft of my concept, so it's nowhere near done. I plan to add some petals in a pretty way, and replace the power LED with a pink one.

@zaxusemk@social.toplap.org It's really not so bad, I'd be happy to show you sometime. Honestly, once you understand how the datasources work (like your Prometheus data source), it's trivial to build a dashboard. That Bambu one took me maybe 30 minutes to get to that state.

Taken the time to learn how to build dashboards in Grafana, as well as how to build my own Prometheus endpoints. I made one for my Bambu printer, screenshot attached. You can see the code here: https://github.com/timhosey/bambu_exporter/

Spent a couple days in Port Townsend with my lovely spouse. Had a great time. Went ocean kayaking, saw a WWII artillery battery, and had some weird goods, some good some bad. Happy to be home, not thrilled about being back to work come Monday.

Saw Ninja Sex Party (with TWRP opening!) on Wednesday evening and it was a KILLER show. Massive kudos to NSP and TWRP for putting on one excellent experience.

I've started building out a set of DM-focused TTRPG tools. Right now it's mainly focused on D&D, but it works for any fantasy setting with similar races and such. Mostly generators for varying things, like Donjon but fresher and modernized.

Having a lot of fun fucking around with my local LLM stuff. Not only is it relatively power efficient, it's full of possibilities. I mean, it's still a foundation built on lies and theft, but at least I can do it somewhat ethically. Gotta learn this shit to stay relevant, I guess. D:

Giving Bazzite another go today... Let's see how it goes.

Massive kudos to @dimbulb@meh.social for getting things up and running on KTQA-owned infra! No longer in the hands of a private individual, meh.social is now going to be owned by the community! :)

Gasp! Is it back up and running?!

Taking an extended break from streaming. My mental health has been in the shitter the last 6 months or so. Trying hard to back out of the funk. Thanks for your patience. :)
