Ok turns out if you don’t practice your problem solving skills often there is a 100% chance your brain will regress to the state of your 6 year old self and you will forget how to solve the most basic problems.
Good to know.

Advice for making stuff work well in Debian?
Hmm, most of the troubleshooting I do is weird architecture issues that won't impact anyone running Debian for x64 but off the top of my head
If you know exactly what package you want, command line package manager use is just fine, but GUI frontends are pretty nice for searching through things if you want to actually read some details on what you're installing. Yeah you can just use debian's web-based apt stuff but it's not convenient to do that. Using a frontend is convenient.
This is non-debian-specific advice but most of the time if I need to do something more complex than like, crop an image or maybe put a color filter on it, I just use photopea because it being online means it works on just about anything. It's not quite as advanced as Photoshop but most of the capabilities it lacks are rather small and niche, as opposed to like "You can't do outlined text" (thanks GIMP) (Also you can run whatever image editor in wine if you want and if you have a better computer than I currently do (rip to my good one) it's worth giving a go. Sometimes you need to do some config but lovely linux users on the internet will often give you the exact settings you need to get the program working :))
MComix is a good CBZ viewer
If you install imagemagick, it may change or mess up your settings for default image viewer. imagemagick is a divine and beautiful program but its image viewer totally sucks so change it back if it does this.
This is mostly fairly specific huh.... Most of the time my computer Just Works for me. I can do troubleshooting for a great many issues but generalized advice is a little harder X'D

im so tired (its almost 7am) but im literally a god with javascript at the moment.
(not really; the thing i was doing was probably not that hard to figure out if i had maybe just sat and thought about it instead of spending the last three or so hours trying to figure out how to word my javascript inquires to duckduckgo.)
anyway does anyone know how to make neocities sites? im so tired.

tuesday again 8/23/22
my landlady gave me the plague. this one's extremely fucking short
listening new panic album's shit, as were the last two. have my all-time top favorite old sappy panic song instead, off the Whoops We Independently Reinvented The Beatles album

reading i would actually recommend clicking through this article to the original callout post about the fuckin piece of shit goddamn hellhole that is the bored ape yacht club nft project bc there's imo too many coincidences for this to be a coincidence or the occasional edgy reference by undersocialized dudes. i do wonder how much of this the original artist was given as a brief, and how much was from her? we will probably never find out.
the sheer influence this group of people have over the rest of the blockchain scene (which is all grifters and marks, no one is using blockchain in a non-speculative manner) anyway the grip they have on their whole subculture is fucking bonkers, and i'm not surprised it's rot all the way down

watching i watched five westerns this week and several other films, due to the agonies.
i don't really have it in me to do a full review but my god was prey (2022, dir. Trachtenberg) so much goddamn fun to watch. an extremely competent little horror flick.
this was a mix of stuff off my letterboxd watchlist and stuff found by hopping from free youtube video to free youtube video. i think i heard about prey the same way everyone else did, by hearing the echoes of twitter whining about how it was too woke
-
playing an awful fucking lot of spider solitaire while curled up in bed extremely feverish. also a bit of fallou/t 4 on my laptop from twenty fucking eighteen. all the settings are cranked down as low as possible (how i originally played this game, on this very laptop) but it overheats like crazy and the fan never turns off. whenever i enter a cell with too many objects we slow to a crawl. this laptop HATED croup manor, but so do i so that's okay. why have a settlement where the corpses constantly respawn? why have a settlement where the corpses constantly respawn where i have to grenade them loose bc the one in the dining room is half fallen through the ceiling and the one in the safe room is always stuck on the ledge? why is this a known issue and was never patched??? todd you gotta lotta fuckin things to answer for

my tumblr experience is mostly muttering on posts I reblog in my own safe little corner of the internet but every now and again I come careening out of the woods to scream about wireless headphones or local museums before disappearing again
anyway it’s been a while. Look at my shrimp.
Next water change they’re getting an algae scrub.
EQ was hiding and we wouldn’t want you to miss out.
And the newest member of the tank, Skates, a Green Lace Filter Shrimp! He’s very good at hiding and even better at dodging my camera, so this is the first photo I have of him and it’s terrible

Me: "okay, I can do this. It's just following simple directions to set up a minecraft server. You can do this. It's going to work. Java isn't that scary."
*get's thrown errors on the very first step*
"Why does Java hate me."
