DID, PDS, DNS: Oh My

So, I’ve been continually fudging around with the PDS I launched on a little six dollar server, and it’s been pretty smooth? But, there have been some hitches. Some little pebbles in the road that would stop a pallet jack on a dime. Federation seems to be working, I can...

Reminder: Windows 10 Ends on October 14th

In the past year here, I’ve casually mentioned how much Windows has moved away from being consumer-friendly, and more inched closer and closer to being probably the most hostile operating system to users ever created. Microsoft has gone from launching spyware as a service (Recall), to killing Windows 10, which...

[REVOSA]: Midnight Stellar Belted Skirt (New)

After 4,000 years of cold-storage, stasis, silence, [REVOSA] returns with something new. I feel like it’s been actually, literally 4,000 years, just because I’ve done so many other things in the time it’s taken me to sit down and go, “Okay, so about continuing my work at my store in...

Second Life: Continuing [REVOSA], But Smarter

A couple weeks ago, I posted about taking my store down, and doing so almost specifically because of Linden Lab’s lack of motivation, or urgency in purging slop out of their marketplace. You know, so people can’t make money off of stolen artwork. Needless to say, I thought about it,...

inZoi: Slop, or Not?

It’s like “hot or not” but with games, and generative AI. Welcome to, Slop, or Not? With … inZoi! A game I’ve previously criticized for being stuffed with random AI tools that could have easily just been, you know, custom texture upload tools, and blender file upload tools. But, I’m...

What is an Apple, if Not a Phone

So, it’s September, and you know what that means. It’s Apple Event time. Usually, or, at least in the past five years, I would’ve been hyped about this sort of thing. I would’ve been rushing to see if AT&T would let me upgrade to the latest iPhone, and while vapor...

What is a Chicken, if Not a Man

Usually, I would relegate posts about site updates and changes to my /logs filetype, but this is a bit larger than, “changed around a few CSS modules, added a new page.” For a lot of the year, I’ve had the website mostly running the same way, but I’ve taken into...

Eyeshadow 2600 FM is Back

A little something I’ve started working on, quite a bit in the early stages of track construction. But, I felt it was hard and wicked as shit enough to share even if there’s almost nothing to it. Not even sure what I’m going to call it yet! Your browser does...

Bluesky, Decentralized? Switching to a PDS

Today, I was curious about just exactly how hard it would be to setup my own Bluesky PDS via a Digital Ocean VPS. I already had a domain that I grabbed a while back (mkultra.social), because it was available, and also cheap, and I didn’t know what I wanted to...

You've Got Mail!

Do you ever find yourself checking your e-mail, only, you’re not checking it to see if anyone’s trying to speak to you, or if someone you know has sent something. You’re checking it because the bubble on your phone says, “10,374” and you just heard the notification go off for...
