I’d really appreciate your support and feedback. Hope you enjoy playing!

it’s already been so long. the wait has helped me but i don’t know if i canwait much longer.

a person can only go for this long. no matter the amount of spicy noodles, blanket-huggies or splatoon wins, one can really only go for so long before things start breaking.

i wish you a wonderful day where you don’t have to wait long.

wowie yes these chee triangles ARE really good. like - wowie zowie yup aha, yup yes they are, mhm yes oh yes they really absolutely are pretty good.

sorry, catbox is down, no alt image link today :(
especially unfortunate with a post like this where color change is meant to be perceived and not… crushed down to jpeg artifacts.

yea, now i know what kind of post to make when i don’t know what to make. cuz this one was really easy and fast to make and also i had fun doing it. horray.

this post is a reference to this older one about putting some pickers chee triangles into the freezer. the body content includes a photo of the actual packaging in my freezer.

i feel sick. my throat is hurting, i was shivering in bed earlier cuz so cooooold. my hands are still cold as i’m typing these words.

i wish you a wonderful day with unreasonably tasty snacks ~

the puff pouch makes a return! it’s back and taking the exact same role, kinda. the puff pouch had its first debut here a year ago.

so yea. the handheld is rather heavy. and that makes the carrying case heavy. and it’s rather large. and soft. and nice to feel. sooo i hold it like that and talk to it a bit too frequently sometimes----- anyway

very strong purple background today.

aaaaa gotta catch up with posts aaaaa i’m soooo behind. i gotta make ONE MORE POST today!!! and i should have the time to do it! i really should.

i wish you a wonderful day and that you do something that makes you feel nice.

someone talked about a mobile wallpaper version of the post with hello kitty. so here that is. a version without hello kitty and versions with higher quality can be found below.

* edited info:

• this is an edited version of this post i made yesterday. the source image is my work
• i am in no way affiliated with the hello kitty franchise. these character designs are not my work and are stolen from Sanrio

i chose the generic android phone size which Pixels and samsung phones use today cuz i thought that might represent the largest amount of peeps here.

some of y’all might notice a problem when trying out these wallpapers: they look smudgy or low quality despite you downloading the high quality version. that is because you phone assumes the image is not pixel art so it tries to smooth it out, making it… yeah, less crunchy. to combat this, here are upscaled variants which preserve the crunchiness of the pixels:

this should resolve the bluriness you may find with the original resolution images.

yes i’m sorry this isn’t a fully original post. i will make… something. i’m a bit burned out with all of this stuff…
it’s a surprising amount of work. even purpleposts take their time and this one took waaaayyyy longer than i wanted it to. well over 3 hours of being distracted, trying to get the characters just right… it took a while. and now i still gotta make one more post to finally be cought up again.

imma do it… maybe not today, but tomorrow perhaps? hopefully…

i wish you a wonderful day in which something fun happens.

Despite being a relatively recent build, the Flock camera was running Android 8.1. This version of Android was released in 2017, and officially stopped getting support from Google in 2021 (see the Android end-of-life page for more info). And despite Google publishing security fixes for Android 8.1 until 2021, the Android patch level is 2018-06-05. This camera is missing Android security updates for the last eight years.

Earlier this week, Gamers Nexus, Level1Techs, and independent security researchers detailed some alarming findings about how LG’s TVs are logging and uploading data on its users. Now the company is pushing back against those allegations, saying that “Some recent media coverage may have contributed to misconceptions about how LG smart TVs work.”

LG released a statement in which it claims that its “TVs do not continuously record or transmit users’ conversations,” and that wake-word detection is all processed locally. However, the word “continuously” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here as Gamers Nexus demonstrated an LG TV keeping extensive logs of ambient conversations long after one would assume its AI assistant had stopped listening.

LG also said that its features like “Automatic Content Recognition (ACR), voice recognition, and interest-based advertising are optional,” and “not enabled by default.” The company says that:

ACR uses audio fingerprinting technology using the TV’s internal audio processor (not a speaker) to identify content and does not collect screenshots, screen recordings, video recordings, voice recordings, or other audio recordings from the TV.

The company did not address broader concerns about how much data it collects, who it shares it with, the potential for bad actors to exploit its features, or the misleading way in which its privacy options are presented.

Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed 3. I have finally done it. I 100% the Base Game. I thought for sure it would be about the same as revelations was. I was wrong. It was a whole lot more work. I’d say the 2 worst parts were the Encyclopedia of the Common Man and the 100% Sync. The Encyclopedia namely involved just a lot of waiting around which was horrible. I got it though. And I’m finally ready to move onto The Tyranny of King Washington.

Which I finally started today actually. It’s interesting getting to play this. I built up this image of what the game would be like in my head when I was younger but never got to play it. Getting to play it now is interesting. It mainly reminds me a lot of Red Dead Redemption’s Undead Nightmare, with the whole alternate time line shenanigans.

I’m hoping Haytham shows up but my hopes aren’t very high. Just something about the way he’s briefly mentioned and moved on from makes me feel like he won’t really have a role here which sucks. But is also understandable with how short it seems to be. Doesn’t appear to be much space to cram him in. Still. I hope I’m wrong.

Anyways. I ended my play session today by getting the first wolf ability. I honestly think it’s kind of cool. Obviously not something that fits in the base game, but having the ability to turn invisible and take out enemies is honestly really cool. I’m a big fan of mechanics like that so I’m glad to have it. Tomorrow I’ll have to try and get more used to it because it’s a lot of fun to use.

As I start to host more and more services on my home server, my family and friends are interested in using some of the services I host as well. Up to now, all of my services have been internal-only, and my wife and I just use Tailscale to access everything. Getting others set up with tailscale isn’t an issue, but I can only have up to 4 other users before I have to pay to add more, and I have more than 4 people I would like to have access to some of the things I host.

Right now I’m using cloudflare tunnels to make some services available externally. I’m behind CGNAT, so I’m forced to use something like tunnels or similar. I’ve always read that if you are going to open things up externally to use a reverse proxy (which I use internally), but does this still apply with cloudflare tunnels? What else should I be looking at to make sure I have everything secured properly?

WonderThunder has archived the entirety of Castlevania: Grimoire of Souls in an offline capacity, uploading their work to The Internet Archive. Currently, the game can only be played on macOS, but WonderThunder suggests that Windows, iOS, and perhaps Android versions will be available in the future, preserving one of the smaller pieces of the Castlevania continuity for future generations. Stellar work.

What setups/softwares do you use to secure your server?

All I do is run the process as user with no login shell.

The topic came to mind after reading this post Is Authelia enough without fail2ban or crowdsec?

They met at a bar in midtown Manhattan. He arrived wearing a baseball cap pulled low and sported a pair of black-framed glasses, she says. As conversation flowed, from discussions about navigating life in New York to past relationships, he mentioned that his glasses were Meta Ray-Bans.

“I wasn’t familiar with them,” McAnuff, a 28-year-old project manager who now lives in Toronto, tells WIRED. It was her first time seeing the smart glasses up close, which can record images and video from the wearer’s viewpoint. He let her try them on and even showed her a couple of videos that he’d taken previously, she says. “That was it. We stopped talking about it after that. I figured that was the end of the use.”

The next day, checking her Instagram, McAnuff noticed she’d been tagged in one of his story posts. To her surprise, it was footage of them at the bar and on the subway together, en route to a basketball game uptown. In the video, McAnuff is captured from an above angle, sitting across from her date who is holding a drinking glass; WIRED has seen screenshots of the footage. “I felt super violated,” McAnuff says. “Like, what if I don’t want everyone knowing what I’m up to? He felt so free to film me and post it. There was no conversation about it.”

Meta sold more than 7 million pairs of the Ray-Bans in 2025, as its smart glasses have infiltrated public spaces thanks to pranksters with dreams of viral fame, some of whom even film people while they’re at work. The phenomenon, which has also spread to pickup artists hitting on women, has earned the hardware the nickname “creep glasses.”

Among singles, and particularly women, Meta’s AI-powered eyewear has become a recurring nuisance, as people share a spreading unease about being covertly filmed on dates.

We could start with danish, french and british troops establishing bases in Canada with nordic troops in Greenland. These garrisons could be primarily used for training Ukrainians and Taiwanese defenders.

We could build more ice breakers to protect our North West Passage and infrastructure to support the locals in the Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Greenland with increased access to foods, medicine and opportunities.

As we need to secure democracy, local sovereignty and minerals from the fascist Washington DC’s encroachment on our countries. They have Alaska already, there’s no need for more entitlement.

We must stand together in the face of imperial Russia and USA.

Here’s my interview with OpenSauce and PabloMK7, the two developers behind Azahar, and as far as I can establish, this is the first and only interview the pair have done together about the project.

We talk about their very different routes into programming and 3DS development, their time working with Citra, how Lime3DS and PabloMK7’s fork eventually came together as Azahar, and some of the difficult problems involved in emulating the 3DS hardware accurately. We also get into what makes the original 3DS systems so interesting to emulate, and the new wave of dual-screen Android handhelds like the AYN Thor and Retroid Pocket Duo/Duo Lite that are bringing fresh attention to 3DS emulation.

There’s also plenty here about open source, preservation, the homebrew scene, and where they see 3DS emulation going next. It was a really interesting conversation, especially getting both sides of Azahar’s story in one place.

Hope some here enjoy it!

Warning, it is a bit of a long read, probably best for those who like articles instead of short form!

The Stop Killing Games folks will love this.

CounterSide is a gacha game. It died on August 26th this year. However, some modders have provided infrastructure to host your own local server, so it can still be played.

You can also use console commands to give yourself however many gacha pulls, other currency, or gear you want. The story is fully playable, so the game can be treated like a single player RPG.

Some of the gamemodes don’t work right (I hear Dive is broken), but the important stuff like the main story, side stories, and combat work fine.

The infrastructure that handles launching the server is here, though you will need to grab the assets (which the infrastructure calls a frozen client) elsewhere. The non-Steam variant seems to work best, though YMMV.
