I've just been to Ilsan comic world event, and holy shit there were SO MANY OF THEM! There was at least one Miku stuff at just about every single stall, and choosing which to buy was really hard. A lot of high quality cosplayers too, and I took photo with them too. I did dress a bit too as Kagamine Len, but I really got to work on makeup. A lot.

One of the stalls was selling her ID card alongside many, many other people 😭 literal identity theft

Awesome song that got uploaded couple of days ago! It got pretty straightforward topic.

I've been playing ARC Raiders, and seeing people playing music into their microphone got me to find a way to do that on Linux. Fortunately, it doesn't take much to set it up, but it took me couple of days to piece that commands together. I wrote a post about it, and I figured people here may find this useful.

TLDR: Bind these scripts to a key

Setup Script

src=alsa_input.usb-Samsung_Samsung_USB_C_Earphones_20160406.1-00.analog-stereo; # Sets the microphone name
pactl load-module module-null-sink sink_name=Combined sink_properties=device.description="Combines-real-mic-with-sound-effects"; # Create a virtual device
pactl load-module module-loopback source=$src sink=Combined; # Make microphone play sound into the virtual device

Toggle Microphone Script

dev=alsa_input.usb-Samsung_Samsung_USB_C_Earphones_20160406.1-00.analog-stereo
vol=$(pactl get-source-volume $dev | grep -o '[0-9]\+%' | head -n1 | tr -d '%')

if [ "$vol" -eq 0 ]; then
    pactl set-source-volume $dev 100%
else
    pactl set-source-volume $dev 0%
fi

Play Sound Script

# Optionally add "pkill paplay" so that sound can never overlap
paplay --device=Combined --volume 30000 <Path to the file you want to play>
# Optionally repeat the same command but without the --device flag so you know what's being played in the microphone

Kill All Sound Being Played

pkill paplay

List of papers that were accepted because reviewers didn't see them properly. Yes, the "Get me off your fucking mailing list" is one of them. My favourite besides that is the one that lists the writer's dog as the author.

Author NM said "waouf" when the authors started to doubt (doubts are common in science, don’t let them win you over, believe in yourself and what you do, don’t let anyone distract you from the truth you know).

It's been a year since I started using NixOS. I feel like I've added enough stuff to my desktop, but every now and then, there's just that one thing I want to automate. My workflow is almost entirely keyboard driven!

My config source code is available, including my servers'. You can find them here.

Yes, my config is almost at 10k lines. Definitely over that if I include my Emacs config.

I found this very cool project called wlr-which-key. It allows you to have vim-like bindings outside vim.

Music player I am working on. I couldn't find a TUI music player that works with OpenSubsonic.

• Window manager: niri
• Top bar: ags, source available here!
• Cursor: Miku cursor
• Editor: Nixvim (Neovim configured with Nix)
• Music player: Feishin (The one I am working on doesn't support Mpris yet)
• Programs in the screenshot: kitty + bash (terminal), xfreerdp + dockur (Windows in Linux), fnott + KDEConnect (notification in the corner)

Music at the top: Garakuta Neverland, recently discovered it and I love it!

Obviously, stuffs like buying Bitcoins, making a certain major discovery are off.

Mine would be not slacking in learning Chinese because I never though I would be a weeb. Now I need to re-learn tons of Kanji.
