It's that time again, when I get the itch to clean up my online presence. Today, I deleted my Dreamwidth and Listed blogs. I haven't posted anything on them for a long time; also, I've decided to post exclusively to my weblog.

It's #UniteAndFight / #GuildWars in #GranblueFantasy again. This time it's Light advantage, which means my nonexistent reputation as a Light main is at stake, and thus I must grind. Good luck to me ROFLMAO.

Okay, I think I did enough writing for the day. Time to rest and relax.

Memo

darylsun

I decided to move my /uses pages to my new #Listed blog, since I change my setups on whims and it'd be faster if I update the pages using #StandardNotes. You can check out the new /uses at https://notes.darylsun.page/uses

PSA: If you started getting #Indieweb #webmentions from my blog all at once just now, I apologize: I was tinkering with #Bridgy. Sorry!

I'm so tempted to submit my blog to webrings and blog directories, so that I'll have more readers (friends) to discuss topics with.

On the other hand, I don't want to deal with hate or spam, and I don't want to direct people to another blog that might die in a year.

Decisions, decisions...

Memo

Instead of sleeping, I stayed up last night (or this morning?) working on my personal blog, Beyond the Walls. You can find it here: https://blog.darylsun.page/

Special thanks to @gil for the #sourcehut Build integration, @georgeprobably for helping me troubleshoot my blog's landing page, and @adam for the awesome #webloglol service!

Now I'll just rest a bit...

Today, I bought my own domain! I've set things up so it shows my #omglol profile page. You can find it here: https://darylsun.page/

(Since I'm on the Lite plan which allows only one custom domain, #AnonAddy also uses my own domain now, instead of my omg.lol address.)

Not gonna lie, I'm excited to find out what cool things I can do with my domain.

Spiral notepad

After a conversation on irc.social.lol and some thought, I decided that TiddlyWiki isn't the right tool for me. My note-taking style just doesn't fit it.

I like Notesnook and its rich-text editor, but my note-taking style doesn't fit it either.

So I switched back to Standard Notes. They've fixed the bug that broke third-party editors, so I can use Rich Markdown Editor again. I write and edit my notes with Markdown styling in plain text, then switch to RME for a preview.

Heart on fire

I think #DemonSlayer: #KimetsuNoYaiba is an amazing manga/anime. Yes, it's a standard shounen work, but media doesn't always have to be "deep" or "complex" to be amazing. Sometimes I just want to root for one Good™ boy with a big heart and a determination to fight evil.

"... I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise. But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

Notebook

I want to try tracking the books, TV shows, and movies I consume again... I used to do so years ago, when I got interested in #QuantifiedSelf and #LifeLogging, but I stopped because I failed to keep my tracking apps up-to-date. Then, I jumped down the privacy rabbithole. Nowadays, though, my memory runs at maximum capacity, so I think recording things will help offload my brain. I'm still looking for and trying out privacy-friendly tracking apps that can help.

I tried to climb a mountain today, but I underestimated its difficulty and overestimated my own ability. I backed out early on, because I just knew that I couldn't make it all the way to the summit...
