Hi, I am running a single-user instance at chat.zlatiah-no.one.

I'm owned by two cats, Mew and Tommy. My profile picture is an abstract representation of Tommy, and the banner is Tommy with a coffee mug.

This is a personal account without a particular theme in mind, so I post all kinds of stuff. Opinions are my own. See intro post below for more details.

If you want to follow me: please make sure 1) you have a profile and 2) you are not too off-putting for a regular person on the Fediverse. I typically follow back approved follows.

Wut I just realized the latest version of SteamOS ships with distrobox and podman

... so it's literally ready for any challenges?

Well for all the other shite happening... at least the Goodwill PC is perfectly functional. Also got Stepmania running, so theoretically I can do DDR/PIU at home in the future

Unnamed SDVX Clone had an unexpected build error because their discord plugin had a dependency on an older GCC so... lol??

Wine still not set up correctly yet. Will try proton again later...

Oh god it's stuck inside 💀

so far the hobby arcade center project is going... extremely poorly

The Steam Deck might need some additional work first as it refuses to boot from any live USB... The computer I got from Goodwill is missing a bunch of components (which I just gathered), still waiting to actually boot it

I hope I won't get banned by a particular arcade by updating some of their cabs' ratings on Zenius-i-Vanisher to "bad"...

Thinking about whether to officially convert my Steam Deck to Arch... since SteamOS packaging is a bit out of date, and sometimes I do need real Arch for the esoteric rhythm games I want to play

I did not anticipate that GoodwillFinds shipped the computer to me without a power cord, but instead a... 4-way USB connector??

Ooooh this is good... For some reason, Kaiteki couldn't show new messages, I have to refresh or switch tabs to show them. This one finally is showing new messages on my timeline again

Trying out Aria (@aria_app) since this is the only Misskey client I could find on FDroid... let's see how this goes ​:blobcat:​

Ok moved back on the VPS. For some reason it was ridiculously slow if I host it on the home server via the wireguard tunnel... Curious why that is the case

Or maybe everything is slower, but it's just more noticeable for SearXNG?

17 packets transmitted, 15 received, 11.7647% packet loss, time 16065ms

The fuk happened with my homeserver

zlatiah,

Nvm it just needed a reboot. I had no idea why it decided to just... do this

zlatiah, to random

Nice, the local arcade hosted their first fighting game tournament and it was pretty fun

Apparently the news got on FB and attracted the attention of Chicagoland FGCs so... although a bunch of ppl got disappointed that the setup wasn't conductive for competing

zlatiah, to random

I like the fact that after so many years of search engine advancements, my current best strategy to search online about something is... to find an age-old Reddit post where some dudes are just recommending stuff

zlatiah, to random

Uhhh no I think my RPi borked itself...

GoodwillFinds finally shipped my order ​:blobcat:​

Ordered on 5/29, just shipped today from a Colorado Goodwill... we'll see whether the computer is functional once it arrives

Quoting Arch Wiki:

"""
Japanese versions of Windows encode ZIP archives with Shift-JIS. By default, these archives will suffer from mojibake filenames when extracted. To extract properly, use unzip in the command-line using the shift-jis option.
$ unzip -O shift-jis nihongo.zip
"""

Why did no one tell me this earlier 😂

zlatiah,

@felix I don't even use Arch right now 💀 But yeah the Arch Wiki is so helpful for... every Linux user, I guess

The electrician came in on Tuesday this week, furniture ppl came in on Wed but refused to install the stove due to complications... and then the electrician called in sick and probably won't be fixing it until tomoreow. It's now end of the workweek and I still don't have a functional stove, and my parents hate eating out

Murphy's Law is going exactly as described huh 😑

zlatiah, to random

Dunno how I did it but I somehow got over 2000 Lucky Strike credits on my card... I guess that's like $20? Got a water bottle and two cat toys for free from that. Only paid $30 for the card too

I guess I won the local arcade 😂

I'm embarassed to see how much money I spent in May because it was a moving month...

zlatiah, to random

First time playing , game was really fun! Game leaned into the form factor of a pad quite well...

Seems like difficulty scale goes up to 15-16 to this game... 15 is a bit hectic, but up until 13 seems manageable

zlatiah, to random

Tried to get a used computer from GoodWillFinds. They refused to let me enter my apartment number because "no delivery to PO boxes", so this is a good sign...

I am curious whether the computer will actually boot once it arrives
