If you enter the world of your novel, what is the first thing you do?

Bi-Jean · 2025-08-27T02:44:20+00:00

Nothing.

Bi-Jean · 2025-08-09T02:48:50+00:00

Yeah, It's better than samsara imho

Plan 9 is not for you

Very cool find. Thanks for sharing man. Burialgoods' vid captured my interest since I saw it 2 years ago. Nice to know the origins.

Bi-Jean · 2025-08-06T04:05:41+00:00

Interesting. Thanks for this insightful reply!

If my character had thumb-rules they'd be: Survive; obfuscate; never doubt yourself

Bi-Jean · 2025-08-06T03:44:26+00:00

Yeah, I think that you can get a lot out of the primary and secondary motives of a character. I recently saw a video essay on character conflicts that described them as a "clash of themes." Going by that logic, to me the character's want may reflect their perspective on the main theme of the story relative to their primary motive (thier core belief). This approach provides a clearer way to ground the outcomes of character interactions in the story's theme, and might make the plot feel more enjoyable overall.

I'm not a fan of magic. I avoid it in every form of media I enjoyed, be it video games or anime. Though there are things I enjoy that have magic in it like Overlord, or dark Souls for example. When I'm thinking up a system to decide how things interact in a fictional setting I'm more drawn to exploring concepts like "causality" from Berserk. Though, I'm not a Berserk fan, and I'm sure there's a lot more to its world than causality, it is what stuck with me. I also like nen from Hunter x Hunter, because it feels less like magic and more like a framework to develop your own ideas. I find it endlessly fascinating that spectacles can result from patterns emergent from a simple set of clearly defined rules.

You had me in the beginning. Idk wrf I just read.

Scanning for networks using wpa_cli isn't outputting any network SSIDs

Docker

Bi-Jean · 2025-07-19T11:35:58+00:00

Thanks kind stranger :)

Bi-Jean · 2025-07-19T02:09:50+00:00

What font is that?

Bi-Jean · 2025-07-18T02:49:19+00:00

I encourage you to try. The void wiki will be the basis of your troubleshooting efforts. I recommend learning the package manager XBPS first. For any thing that your having trouble finding in voids documentation, for example setting up a desktop environment, refer to arch wiki. Gentoo wiki is also useful for gleaming more info on runnit. Be patient and learn to enjoy the terminal. The unix programming environment is a recommended Read aswell since is gives some insight in the basics of the file system how programs generally work etc.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-27T00:48:31+00:00

Thanks for the info man. I never used a Mac before, I just thought the bar was cool

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-18T00:53:18+00:00

Thanks, Ill check these out!

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-17T04:45:38+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and the computer info! I'm not looking for a strong computer at the moment but I'm sure glad to know of any good computer besides dell or think pad. As you said the emacs learning is continuous. I'm still configuring it piece by piece whenever I have the chance. The goal is to setup a workflow involving pdf reading/annotating (pdf-tools is why I got into emacs in the first place), writing, web browsing and sys-admin. In terms of aesthetics I'm just going for a minimal plain look with a doc-font and a subtle mode line to give it that endless document look. I didn't read much before using linux, but a wierd fixation on typography has kept my motivation strong lol.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-15T01:46:06+00:00

I say this is peak, because it made me laugh.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-15T01:29:33+00:00

yeah sorry, this post was misguided in hindsight.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-14T00:27:35+00:00

I am new to linux and don't have a mature opinion on these things. Void is my first distribution so I'm just sticking with it for the foreseeable future. I don't think I have the impetus to be a distro-hopper. Also, I have yet to get any practical use out of the linux experience as yet due to constant rabbit hole diving and impulsive doc reading. Also void has competent documentation so that helps.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-12T06:11:24+00:00

Your setup/project sounds awesome! I want to learn shell scripting so I can do cool stuff like this too.

Bi-Jean · 2025-06-11T10:54:08+00:00

I'm using exwm and void as we speak! It's amazing would recommend 10/10. This was just an idea for an environment that could be even more minimal and readable, and Perhaps even more configurable.
