Copyparty is awesome. You don’t even need to sync you can just mount WebDAV

wetdry.world is an awesome name and fun instance.

Boos from New Super Mario Bros Wii. I called them “air ghost” because they couldn’t be hurt by fire nor ice.

Still my favorite Mario enemy. My aunt bought me a plush of it from Japan.

I have been on the Synapse HDD path. It was slow even for a single-user instance.

I found Skies Forever Blue by Itoki Hana & Toby Fox today. I’ve been led there by SiIvaGunner.

I have a Corsair HS55 Wireless. I needed it to be low latency and this one comes with a USB for wireless 2.4GHz. It’s overall pretty good.

The only issue is that I’m very sweaty and the climate here is wet and hot. The skin of the headphones foam started to fall off after a year.

I’ll admit “we are” is a bit of an exaggeration. That is only based on my observation of the community.

Guess we’re sharing scripts now. I have a script that downloads playlists as MP3s and keep an archive.

#!/usr/bin/env sh

browser_cookies="firefox:1cvnyph7.YouTube TV"

download() {
	url="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=%241"
	dir=$2
	archive_name=$3

	yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --embed-thumbnail --embed-metadata --cookies-from-browser "$browser_cookies" --download-archive "archives/$archive_name.txt" -P "$dir" -o "%(title)s.%(ext)s" "$url"
}

Yes. I’m a bad guy for YouTube because I block their ads and I’ll keep being the bad guy.

Being tech-leaning is exactly why we are against AI. We are just much more aware of the resource it’s consuming, the privacy it’s infringing, and the content it’s stealing.

Coming from Asia, that seems like an insane thing to do. If someone’s autistic just let them be.

Daddy is used normally here. I can’t think of a Cantonese equivalent off my head right now, but we have plenty of phrases describing different relationships types.

For example, 食軟飯 (eat soft rice) means a man being financially dependent on a woman.

You’d see fireworks

It’s basically Gao Kao. Not as bad as it because we still have multiple paths to reach university. If one fails the HKDSE, they can take an associate degree program for 1 or 2 years and re-enroll into a major degree program. It’s not the end of the world. It just takes more time and money.

Pizza is expensive in Hong Kong because it’s a foreign thing and my dad’s side doesn’t particularly like cheese so we rarely have it. It’s also generally considered unhealthy here.

Outer Wilds reference?

Every birthday I ask for pizza. It was largely the same.

In HK, being 18 almost always means you are studying for HKDSE, basically the biggest and most important exam of a Hongkonger’s life. I got a few blessings from my family lol.

It is indeed Year of the Hource

Happy Lunar New Year!
