After a few cooler days and nights it’s getting hot again here. I’m glad I’m currently only ripping DVDs and not encoding them too. Don’t need the additional heat of a CPU under 100% load.
Since I’m running out of free shelf space I’m trying to move some stuff around that I don’t really need to have quick access too, like DVDs or books. And I realized that I haven’t ripped/encoded some shows to my HDD yet, so that’s my current project. Gonna take a while, at least until I encode them, cause high ambient temps + CPU under load = Arizona in a room.
CSI S1-3 (DVDs) are currently 121GB, and I have 6 seasons, so I definitely want to shrink that down with encoding. Gonna do h265. Takes longer but should be worth it. Don’t really want to buy a new HDD right now. Besides, the one I have for movies/shows still has ~4.4TB free out of 7.27TB. And rather than adding a new one I’d like to replace one of the smaller ones cause if I fill up the HDD bays it’ll block air flow quite a lot. That said, my next HDD purchase will probably be a 8-10TB ext one for backing up my anime. The 2TB and 4TB ones I have aren’t enough for all my backups.
Infection numbers have gone up again cause people are stupid. They actually put up a small pool in the middle of the city. They only allow 6-10 people in it at the same time. It’s so fucking retarded. There’s only a little over a week left until school starts again and I’m curious how fast they’re gonna close them cause numbers will rise again (cause like adults, kids are just as stupid and won’t keep a safe distance or wear their masks properly).
Apparently for some time now the local unemployment center has used an algorithm (AI, as they like to call it) to sort people into different categories and some institutions are against it (one of them being the Data Protection Authority). So there’s some tech-related news.
Other than that, I have a new routine before I go to bed because I usually lay in bed for sometimes an hour or more before I fall asleep.
With the temps rising again I’m trying to have my PC shut down for a while before I actually go to bed, so will now shut it down, go wash myself (a cool shower at night + brushing teeth and such), then read some manga until my eyes start to get tired and then go to sleep. After that it only takes me about 10-15min to fall asleep.
That said, even then I still manage to go to bed way too late, ~3-4am.
dumb guitar practice since got a moment when no one else was home(have dumb loud amp and big efficient speaker which doesnt help at all, but dem tubes amps+ more power flowing in them makes them do more distortion and stuff, doesnt react/sound the same at lower volume. then you got the same dongs having movies all loud at 9am on sat with surround, but if you can hear my shit outside the room at all the old beating on the wall, so usually wait til no one around so can turn it up just enough to get it workin some of the stuff(like 0.5-1/10 instead of like 0.25-0.5/10 lol)
otherwise idk still thinkin about pokeman shiz a bit i guess, if wanna replace gary or not, then what all gonna do since think i want fat kid back maybe but idk.
and what to do with the spare animation slots i got, was thinking maybe do an oral/some other one off animations, might try to mock up a face fucc(see if can use the same animation for the humping, maybe not if positioning too low to get them like scrunched down enough)
but for sure some spare one off animations for something not sure if tv/whatever generic upgrades since not that many actual animation spots i can use
i’ve got mine through a city fiber provider,google fiber centurylink fiber verizon fios fiber comcast and like 4 more small fiber companies to choose from here im paying 70$ for this and ive had 100% uptime since starting service and nothing slower then 400/800 mb/s when trying to saturate with many devices doing shit in and outbound
seems with obs to twitch youtube streaming its seeing 900/900
i max out all other services internal speed tests that are available and 1-3ping on stuff in the usa (mirrored servers in mountain time zone)
i have a measurable but not noticable jitter in the connection when testing
i have also signed up for the beta of starlink in my area for a test (might switch over if its not shit in the coming years)
Lucky bitch. I pay $50/month for 30/3 (upgraded to 50/3 for free thanks to the corona) and the uptime is alright at best. Not 100% but also not 98% either
Yeah. Dont have that luxury. Online gaming can be amazing or complete shit depending entirely on the network. typically about 70ms but with spikes going 1000+
dunno for mine if modem or network side that gets reset if i reset modem
but is pretty good then starts going crazy like… speed is fine/works fine for websites/streaming videos and stuff wont even notice usually, then in game is like randomly go from 50~70 in league to like 300>10000, where random like completely stop for fraction of a second or more, then normal full speed otherwise
usually is back fine 2min later after restart modem but does it once in awhile
since have to remake the entire game anyways if do the other one(which do have base thing been slowly workin on for a start scenario…)
whatchyu think if do like a simple animal crossing x hentai dating sim or something set in pokeman universe?
have to redo basically everything in that one anyways, and since can do new assets/replace so many if wanted, could do like a big apple tree(using new scripting stuff can even do time functions for resetting fruit or whatever) that you could activate to pick an apple, you could sell to someone/have a thing to collect 15 or whatever
use that item to give to someone else for some other thing
could unlock new characters on island, buy objects for house/community use or something, like if donate x money to some project then cybercafe can be finished/unlocked
edit2:
since new one can make new sprites, can use the larger size ones that are in the game just usually reserved for stuff, like ssanne sailing away is a sprite, the ship to go to the orange islands etc, so could have massive overly over like entire building/half the building whatever of like big sign/construction stuff
. even with gigabit, max upload is only 35
