Flaky

Well fuck, I'm on Hugo now.

Wed, 23 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

It’s that time, I guess. After (over)thinking about it, I decided to move back to a static site generator (SSG) in the end. WordPress was nice to write on, however I could feel the problems arising the moment I wanted to start configuring things beyond what WordPress allowed:

Loads of themes were strongly business-oriented
Gutenberg felt a bit frustrating to use for customising the site.
What would be easy with a bit of CSS and HTML is a multistep process or a plugin on WordPress.
Generally, plugins that would be nice to use want me to pay tens of dollars a year for something I could make myself with a bit of help from StackOverflow or the free tier of an LLM.

I also gave WordPress.com a try, and uh, I can’t hide Jetpack’s AI shit without paying. I don’t really care for AI when it comes to writing, and frankly, I don’t want to give WordPress money just to disable AI. What would be easy in HTML/CSS would have cost me hundreds a year, so I looked at building my site, and the result of that is the site you’re seeing right now.

Getting your hobbyist and FOSS Mac apps working

Mon, 21 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

As a former Linux user, I love macOS for its UX but hate how strong-handy Apple likes being in comparison to that and Windows. I decided to try and build my app, Tag Hierarchy Manager, for use on macOS by bundling it as an app. Avalonia Parcel can do a lot of the bulk work in compiling it as a .app bundle and packaging it in whatever (installer, ZIP, DMG). However, trying to get the app to work at this state results in the app being forcefully quit by macOS sending a SIGABRT.

Steam Frame too much for you? Get a PlayStation VR 2 lol

Tue, 15 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve had multiple people ask me about PSVR2, given that I was an early adopter of both the headset itself (hell, I bought my PS5 for that purpose) and its PC VR support, and the price for the Steam Frame is pretty astronomical. It’s a bit weird because when I was talking about my headset, people were telling me they were waiting specifically for Deckard (or, what would become the Steam Frame now.)

Music Highlight: Sal va Vinci - Per Sempre Si (Album)

Mon, 14 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Notes: represented Italy at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2026.

This was such a beautiful blend of classic Italian music and modern pop tendencies, without it being so cringe. A very fun album to listen to.This is why despite the toxicity of Eurovision, it’s still such an amazing way to find new artists and broaden one’s horizons, music-wise.

Music Highlight: tripleS - LOVE&POP pt. 1 (EP)

Sun, 13 Sep 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This was a great little EP from the K-pop group (or a subset of them. K-pop groups are confusing.)

All the tracks are solid, but I have to give kudos to Sad Girls Schemin’ and Type of Girl. They exude a similar energy to the 2-step track Seoul Sonyo Sound, which is my favourite song from them, even if it’s not exactly one-to-one. Me Myself Mode also tries the same thing, however I think the drum ‘n’ bass chorus sounds a bit dead, it felt like it needed some oomph.

Did Bhutan reactivate my Euro-tism?

Thu, 13 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, before I get to it because I know people are going to ask:

Eurovision has been trying to get to the Asian market for two decades, already.
Asiavision is already trademarked.
The participating broadcasters want the Eurovision brand tied to it.
Israel is not in this spin-off, in fact two countries with participating broadcasters do not recognise Israel and ban Israeli passport holders from even entering the country. (Asia is probably more politically complex than Europe – I do not envy Voxovation for having to deal with this.)

Now that’s out of the way, let’s talk about Bhutan – also known as the Land of the Thunder Dragon, which is a badass name. Much more badass than “Great Britain”.

First impressions of my MacBook Air

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, I finally did it. I got my MacBook Air. I went for 16GB because it was cheaper, and I want to dip my toe in before even thinking about committing to the Mac ecosystem. And so far, with the few days I’ve had it, it’s been really good, although with some big caveats.

The Good

Well, I do like macOS in general. I got used to it quickly, to be honest. But there are some things that came up in particular, whether it’s from the hardware or the operating system.

You no longer need JavaScript

Thu, 06 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I know the basics of HTML and CSS, but I didn’t realise just how insanely good it’s gotten lately. From a cursory glance both seem like “easy to use, hard to master” markup languages with the mastery being very rewarding.

I’ve been thinking about making a “music talk” site with Hugo (from scratch) as an experiment while WordPress stays strong here (at least, until my DreamHost plan expires, then I have to decide the future of the site again). One thing I realised, as my time with my blog here progressed, is that I don’t like JavaScript and I don’t really want to learn it either. Turns out, for a lot of web design, you don’t actually need it. This was part of the inspiration for Astro-erudite v2, which I unfortunately have to avoid on principle of me not wanting to learn JavaScript which includes Node.js-based stuff. JavaScript simply isn’t for me at the moment, lol. (To be fair, Node.js should just be avoided regardless of your opinions on JavaScript… Anyone who’s followed my posts about the AUR know why.)

How Linux broke my backups

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I try not to talk about Linux, but I have to admit, my past hyperfixation with and experiences using it may have given me plenty of stories to tell. It’s like I’ve got a bunch of cautionary tales. This will probably end up on the desktop Linux problems post too, but I don’t know. The timeliness of it warrants a new post. 😛

So, I was having a weird issue with FreeFileSync, the GUI app I use for backing up files from my tower to my NAS. A file called "Steps - Tears on the Dancefloor: Crying at the Disco Edition.log" wouldn’t get transferred, and FreeFileSync considers the backup failed as a result. Windows kept thinking the file simply didn’t exist, even though it was pretty much existing. Something wasn’t right though – I couldn’t load it, or even rename it in Windows, either. What was going on?

LLMs are bad decision helpers

Wed, 05 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I want to preface this by saying I am not anti-AI/LLM, especially in the way it has manifested on social media. In fact, I’m highly critical of the anti-AI movement due to how abusive the movement has gotten (especially on Bluesky and inside the FOSS community) and dismissive to information that contradicts their claims, and I do not trust them for reliable information on this topic and consider them very manipulative. I also avoid giving into tribalistic behaviours because I consider them hazardous for my ADHD brain, which is why I think I’ve taken pragmatic solutions more than ideological ones. Even as I’m critical of LLMs in this post for cognitive reasons I want to make this clear, and if you don’t like that, feel free to close the tab. Sorry not sorry lol.

I may have to reinstall Windows, and it’s my fault.

Tue, 04 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, I’ve been having a weird issue with 1Password on Windows, lately. Whenever I try to enable passkey integration with Windows, it will automatically switch it off. I can’t even enable it in 1Password itself, either. It’s like Windows does not want it to be on at all. If it was a group policy, I’d presume Windows would say that and disable it, instead of this weird behaviour.

I’ve been chatting with 1Password support and even they’re stumped, nothing I sent came across as a blocker on their end, and I’d presume if there was I’d be told.

On the Arch User Repository, and the complacency for crap

Mon, 03 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The AUR got hit with a malware attack. Again. Normally, one would look at this, lock it down, and figure out what is broken and how one can go about fixing it, but it seems like Arch users want things to stay as they are instead.

And that isn’t an option when the fucking thing is a broken turd of a system.

The AUR is insecure for no good reason

Generally, if you use the AUR, you’re expected to read the PKGBUILD, which – okay fine. But that is still no excuse for just how insecure the AUR is. Why are there still no guards against flooding the AUR with orphaned packaged adoptions? Why are commit signatures not enforced, which helps prevent impersonation? Yeah, because of the way Git works where you can fill any user/email, and because signatures are not enforced on commits to repositories on the AUR, someone who abandoned a package was impersonated in the latest wave. Simply put, putting all responsibility on the user is not an excuse for crap security, and anyone who says this is an absolute moron. The latest cope from Arch users is claiming that the AUR is a glorified pastebin, which is still not a valid excuse in the slightest. Again, why does this excuse the AUR having such poor security? I’m asking as a former Arch user, someone who did check the PKGBUILD when using the AUR.

i’m buying a macbook lol (+ a little rant on writing styles)

Sat, 01 Aug 2026 00:00:00 +0000

MacBook time

So, I finally bit the bullet. I bought myself an M5 MacBook Air. Friends won’t be surprised, it’s been on the mind for a while. This is also my first proper Mac that I’ll be owning too – before this I relied a lot on Hackintosh since the early 2010s which for modern use was found dead in a ditch sometime last year or this year following the announcement that Tahoe was the last version to support Intel.

Eating a Lot of Apples (my Apple computing journey)

Mon, 27 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I’ve been thinking about buying a MacBook lately. I don’t have a proper need for one at the moment, so I’m giving it time (well, as long as the AIpocalypse will let me 🫠), but I’ve been keeping an eye on it. The performance to price value (again, pre-AIpocalypse) is fucking wild and macOS genuinely seems like the best of the bunch at the moment. But, I won’t lie, it’s weird and kinda funny, because I’ve been up and down with Apple when I was younger. I swore by Android, and I scoffed at the Apple Watch and thought it was silly. But now here I am with an iPad, an iPhone, an Apple Watch(!!!) and some AirTags. I’m also subscribed to Apple Music too.

One Year of Being Diagnosed with ADHD

Sun, 26 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, it’s been one year since I was diagnosed with ADHD, and I’ve learned a lot about myself in this past year, and how to deal with some of the issues that stem from the ADHD. While they haven’t all been resolved, I’m happy to say I’m in a better frame of mind than I was in 2024.

Why I Suspected ADHD

I never really thought I had ADHD per se. Looking back on my childhood, I wasn’t exactly the stereotypical hyper kid. I didn’t think much of my issues with memory, or focus. I just put my headphones on and listened to whatever music was available at the time because it instinctively helped me focus.

Why I Use MusicBee

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I have a lot of software decision paralysis happening, but the one consistent bit of software I’ve stuck to for years has been MusicBee. While in the grand scheme of things, it’s not as important as, say, a photo editor or CAD software, it represents my love for music in a way that no other player ever does.

MusicBee is a freeware music library player and organiser for Windows. I call it “iTunes on steroids”, because its interface is pretty similar to iTunes, but it has a lot of really cool organisational features that make browsing your music library (and especially one as large as mine, at 50,000 tracks) intuitive and fun to use. It’s basically a very advanced digital jukebox, there’s not really anything like it in my opinion, and it makes switching to another player really painful because you just don’t get the features that MusicBee has. It’s basically the only thing that ties me to Windows.

An ideological split in the Linux desktop (LLMs)

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, Linus Torvalds has come out and said that LLMs are just a tool, and that Linux is not considered to be an anti-AI project. This has caused anti-AI people to crash out on social media, down to making very embarrassing conspiracies about Linus Torvalds being “compromised” when really he seems to be a no-bullshit type of guy (and there’s a lot of bullshit that surrounds desktop Linux, culturally/ideologically) and arts majors claiming they can make a better Linux than the guy who literally created Linux (lmfao). As a guy currently on Windows (on and off about Linux again, KDE is just too good lol) it’s kinda funny seeing this dichotomy from the sidelines, especially when there’s an equally loud group of people, seemingly motivated by an ideological push against Microsoft specifically, rizzing up LLMs for making Linux easier to deal with.

Sidra Review

Mon, 20 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, Apple Music has two problems:

The Windows app kinda sucks.
There’s no app for Linux.

The Linux part, I can understand. The Windows part, however, I don’t – right now I’ve got a problem where it says “An unknown error occurred”, and I think it’s because I had to briefly use Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet. I’ve run into an issue where it took 30+ seconds to boot. I don’t know if Apple or Microsoft is to blame here, but the client is not in a good state. Some people will say to use Cider, but I’m not sure if they’ve even apologised for the shit they said that made me avoid them in the first place. Nonetheless, the technical issues were enough that a former maintainer for Ubuntu MATE decided enough was enough, and made Sidra, a wrapper for the web client.

Software decision paralysis

Fri, 17 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I have a major problem with making decisions and sticking to things. ADHD people tend to suffer from decision paralysis, where an overwhelm of information gets you locked up and stressed. I also get a lot of “what if” questions coming in, worrying about the future, over things I simply do not need to worry about right now. I’m not sure if this is OCD, I do suffer from symptoms of that, but I do know my brain wants to keep opening the doors it had already shut.

Getting flag emoji on Windows (11)

Tue, 14 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Due to political reasons, Microsoft has actively refused to add flag emojis on Windows 11. Given how common flag emojis are, it’s honestly more annoying than I thought it’d be, especially when discussing international events like Eurovision where these emoji would be useful. People use these flags to denote their nationality, or a country they are supporting. For example, when someone has several Palestinian flag emoji in their username in solidarity with Palestine, it looks like they’re trying to get a cat’s attention because it comes out as PSPSPSPS on Windows.

A eulogy for the most misunderstood Windows version

Wed, 08 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Windows Vista feels like the runt of Windows’ lineage. A troubled and probably even rushed development cycle, combined with complacency on part of the OEMs with XP being very modest on hardware requirements, meant that Windows Vista got a bad rap amongst computer users for being slow and buggy, even nowadays. Its notoriety for being buggy became a joke on a British sitcom. Some will insist it’s unjustifiably terrible, but when you look at its history, you can understand why Vista was the way it was.

Fix for MusicBee playing MP3s way too quietly

Fri, 03 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

For any MusicBee users who have MP3 files specifically that sound too quiet, the issue is the VOLUME_ADJUSTMENT tag. I’m not sure what creates this tag, as MusicBee itself does not (tested just yesterday with some MP3s). I suspect that it’s probably Quod Libet adding this – I had used this library on Linux through that in the past before going back to MusicBee.

MusicBee doesn’t create the tag, but seems to use it if it’s present, and then things play too quietly. For any affected MP3 files, just remove the VOLUME_ADJUSTMENT tag. Then your MP3s will sound louder again. If you have any ReplayGain tags in the files it shouldn’t be affected, MusicBee will read these tags as normal.

“I don’t wanna use Linux because terminal”

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

This is something I’m kinda racking my head around. Something I hear a lot in the context of switching to Linux, is that people don’t want to use it because of some preconceived notion that they’d need to use the terminal (or Command Prompt) for everything.

I wouldn’t say everything needs it, nowadays, unless you need to do something a bit esoteric. I think this notion probably stems not just from how Linux was in the 2000s, but places like r/unixporn which are heavily biased towards the terminal and how some people in the community act when people say they don’t want to use it. But I’m also aware that I’m not the average person, I can work my way around a terminal if I need to, so my judgement will admittedly be clouded.

Canada in Eurovision

Wed, 01 Jul 2026 00:00:00 +0000

So, the European Broadcasting Union just announced that Canada will be debuting at the Eurovision Song Contest next year. I’m more than happy for Canada to join – the more the merrier, and I do enjoy me some Canadian music (Spiritbox is one of my favourite metal bands, and I’ve grown up listening to a lot of deadmau5). Canada has some history with Eurovision in terms of contestants, most notably when Celine Dion won for Switzerland. I’ve seen some British male pundit types on Bluesky talking about how this is such a farce and that Eurovision has gone down the shitter, showing how ignorant they really are. Canada has participated in Eurovision Young Dancers in the 80s, the EBU has had precedent for this for a long time well before Australia joined over a decade ago. CBC has also been involved in other Eurovision projects, such as Eurovision News Spotlight.

Song Highlight: A*Teens - Iconic

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Note

This may be moved to a separate section/site for music talk. I’m not sure yet. For now, I’m just plonking it here on the main site.

What a pleasant surprise from Melfest this year. I’ve kind of been aware of the Swedish pop group A*Teens but where I would’ve been the right age to listen to them, I was a Steps guy. For context, A*Teens started when the members were – well – teenagers, and they were known for covering ABBA tracks back in the day. Seems like they had a pretty good following in the U.S., even being featured on a few Disney soundtracks. They had reunited last year, keeping the name which – while understandable, to capitalise on their nostalgia – is a bit goofy. They, then decided to enter Melodifestivalen, which is a Swedish music contest that is also used to select Sweden’s representative for the Eurovision Song Contest.

Song Highlight: LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER – Eins, Zwei, Drei

Fri, 26 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Note

This may be moved to a separate section/site for music talk. I’m not sure yet.

I’m doing an album dive on British electronic producer LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER. His thing is that he really likes analog synths and is a right engineering tinkerer, doing crazy shit like making an organ out of a bunch of Furbies. I was surprised when I woke up one morning and heard that he was the British rep for this year’s Eurovision Song Contest. I vaguely heard his name before, I believe he was recommended to me on Twitch sometime during or before lockdown, but I knew he was an online personality who did music. I later found out that he opened for thePokémon International Championship in Europe, and is apparently the first Eurovision contestant to have GitHub repositories people made based on his projects.

The tragedy of systemd

Thu, 25 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A few days ago, I did a post detailing my problems with Linux. Systemd was not one of them, at all. However, it still gets a lot of pushback from Opinionated Linux Users who think traditional scripting is how init systems should be done (no, thanks). I like systemd because it doesn’t get in my way at all, and the commands are easy to memorise even more so than Windows’ service management in my opinion.

Why desktop Linux sucks (for me)

Sun, 21 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Edits

August 2nd 2026: Added comment in relation to slugcat.systems’ post. More moving around, adding more headings. PSVR2 finally got Linux support through Ignition, but honestly it’s still not worth it for me. (Respect to the PSVR2Toolkit devs though! They’re probably keeping the PSVR2 alive…)
July 29th 2026: Trying to cut down on a lot of “filler” crap.
July 21st 2026: Tweaked the virtualisation part and the community excuses for Linux part. Removed section on Claude in software problems.
July 14th 2026: Changed some wording across the board, added stuff about Microsoft’s account requirement, added paragraph about game modding, added some stuff about stress, added a bad experience with a Linux User on Bluesky.
July 8th 2026: Anthropic now has a beta of Claude for Linux, rendering a small part of the software problems void. I’ve also went back and made things less formal.
July 4th 2026: Changed title from “My Problems with the Linux Desktop” to “Why desktop Linux sucks (for me)”, added section on Linux gaming, added TOC block

Important

I want to rewrite this, to be honest. Feels a bit bloated lol, and there are more things I can whinge about still. I also do find myself missing KDE now I’m using an unpatched Windows 11. Nonetheless, these problems are still problems and even if I’m on Linux I would still make this post.

Slowing down

Wed, 17 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Recently, I was forced to slow down everywhere thanks to staying up talking to friends, and near-insomnia. The most obvious one was when I was listening to music – before I was medicated I was proud of listening to so much new music, and I was anxious if I didn’t get my backlog cleared, which in hindsight sounds stupid. As I drafted this, I listened to You Don’t Have a Clue by Norwegian electronic duo Röyksopp, and I remembered why I loved it. I’m not really good at getting across why I like a thing (partly why I made this blog, to push myself), so bear with me here – the things I liked about the song was the melody, and the progressively interesting composition, starting with a beat and some arpeggiated pianos, bringing in atmosphere and strings towards the end of the song. It did seep into other things, but music was the core thing.

I Escaped the Apple Ecosystem – It Backfired

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Pretty good video explaining how moving away the Apple ecosystem is not that frictionless, especially when there are things that can be considered dealbreakers. I relate a lot to how bad it was for Arun to go for a non-Apple smartwatch, as my Apple Watch has been immensely helpful for dealing with the worst parts of my ADHD to the point it’s a necessity, and it doesn’t seem like any company is doing it right besides Apple, touching on issues with Garmin, Google, Samsung, and even Oppo, whose phone he actually loved for the better cameras and is one of the drivers for this video.

Why is LibreOffice so laggy on Windows?

Fri, 05 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I want to keep using LibreOffice (specifically Calc, its spreadsheet app), but the constant hitching and lag on Windows is annoying enough that I’ve had to move to OnlyOffice. Furthermore, and I don’t know if this is LibreOffice or a limitation of the ODS format, but if you try to set a conditional formatting formula’s range, it just sets it to an absurdly large range instead of just setting it to the entire column. It makes the range formula look unwieldy especially when the conditional format stops working.

Fix for Arch users with broken Geoclue

Sun, 31 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Just a quick post for anyone who is dealing with this and ending up finding more ideology slop on the Arch forums about “muh privacy” than any actual help. One post on the Arch Forums was even basically going “I don’t know, because I don’t use it and have no use for it because muh privacy”. Super fucking helpful.

It goes without saying but this also applies to distros that source location service packages (specifically geoclue) from Arch, such as EndeavourOS and the aforementioned CachyOS.

Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Review

Mon, 18 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Last month, Nintendo released the newest entry in the Tomodachi Life series, titled “Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream” and released for the Switch 1. I really enjoyed the 3DS version, it scratched my brain in the right ways, and I was eager to try the new one. That soon turned to some disappointment when I realised that Mii sharing was no longer possible on this entry, but I still decided to try it anyways, just to see what it’s like.

Apple Music Review

Fri, 15 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I am a music ~~hoarder~~ collector – my MusicBee library will hit 50,000 songs this year – but I do use streaming a lot as well. I love discovering new music and broadening my tastes, and streaming enables that discovery. I’ve extensively used Spotify for over a decade now, but I have been checking other streaming services, which stemmed from a paranoia surrounding the 10,000 song limit from years ago that, while subdued a lot, still exists somewhat. The one that always caught my eye was Apple Music, which is essentially a streaming platform grafted onto Apple’s old iTunes infrastructure, with some bells and whistles here and there. And after using it as well as Spotify on and off for years, I can safely say that I’m mostly happy on it, but there are some major problems Apple needs to iron out.

How EDM, Eurovision and Furries Made Me a Metalhead

Sun, 26 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

I have a very eclectic music taste, but I do circle around EDM in particular. Lately, however, I’ve been branching out into metal, and recently I wanted to specifically get into the extremer forms of metal. While my EDM tastes still reign supreme, metal has also been screaming alongside it, particularly its extremer forms – anything melodic and hard-hitting, I’m guaranteed to like. Bands like Spiritbox and Voyager are good examples for the less extreme side, with Shadow of Intent and Enisum on the extremer sides, with melodeath, atmoblack and metalcore being the genres I circle around.

What Made 2025 Suck a Little Less

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Why did I make this three months late? ADHD, that’s why.

Anyway, I’m not going to mope about how bad 2025 was (beyond the description, at least), I think everyone has said or heard something about that. What I want to do is share some things that I really liked from last year, whether they were released last year or not, to celebrate what made 2025 bearable at the very least.

Rate Your Music Hierarchy for MusicBee

Essentially the genre, scenes & movements and descriptor trees ported to a tag hierarchy template you can add into MusicBee. I use RYM quite a lot, including for genre metadata, so I figured I’d port over the RYM trees to a tag hierarchy template. Available on GitHub

Tag Hierarchy Manager

An application designed for managing MusicBee tag hierarchies in a database, with export and mostly working import. Originally written in Python and PyQt, it is now written in C# with Avalonia. Available on GitHub
