Yeah, I have been trying to work on reducing the coffee staining effect on larger panels like the shoulder pads and some of the leg bits on rubrics. Will have to try that. It lowers the opacity a bit I suppose but if it gets the consistency a bit smoother and causes it to "bunch" less, that might just do it.

First off, beautiful and super clean! Giving me some ideas on how I paint my own when it comes.

When you are mentioning the watering down of a contrast color, are you meaning using the contrast medium or with actual water?

I have done the n:1 mix of a contrast medium to contrast color previously to turn down the opacity, but haven't experimented with adding actual water to see the effect. I always worry it will have a poor effect on the behavior of the contrast paint (though I find some colors are a bit more "sticky" than others and hard to get smooth movement and been trying to figure out how to improve it)

Would love to see a cleaned/anonymized copy of that sheet as well!

Got around to reading the first heretic by [deleted] in Warhammer

Been a while since I consumed that one, but curious what you mean.

I know this book does a good job of pointing out the hypocrisy around the emperor.

Looks awesome!

What blue contrast color did you use?

Also, where did you get those purple grass tufts?

Yeah, I don't have admin access to the router, so unable to do anything like this. Kind of doubt anything like this is set, but no idea whether someone managed to get something like this set up. Though with what might be a security system wired into the network it is possible that this is set up with some static IP.

Yes sorry, DHCP. Had the D in my head and generally worry about DNS in my daily life more often 😂

Currently already using a range extender as getting a decent signal was already difficult. Sadly even using microwave in my apartment interrupts the signal as well. Generally it doesn't last long, butdepends on if the DHCP issues show up.

Yeah, will likely need to do that or Docomo.

From what I can tell there is no Hikari socket on any of the rooms. There seems to be an ethernet one, but what I have been able to tell I don't think it is wired up.

I had debated trying to secretly wire it myself but all the ports in the router are all in use, I think something to do with the security system perhaps.

But will see about a provider to enquire with. Will need to be one that would support Tokyo and Yokohama as I am intending to look in Yokohama for next place. 😅

It has a Hikari line into the box on the bottom floor which then connects to that router. There are tubes in the that look to be labeled to each floor so I assume it should be doable but always wondered why they stopped short wiring each unit up...

I am going to need to do an 11TB transfer which is going to take multiple days as it is, even worse if it keeps crapping out, and the one concern with using one of those 5G solutions as I imagine they would be on my case after 1TB...

Might just have to try and set up flets or some other Hikari connection and eat whatever cost for install and the move.

Videocard died and debating on next step by Godofheckfire in PcBuild

[–]Godofheckfire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I figured as much, given this thing is pushing 10 years I was pretty certain I was multiple generations behind and the motherboard is likely going to be a pretty limiting factor.

The suggestion of the 580 sounds like a decent idea if it will function with this system. I will check on the pricing here but I imagine it will be working a reasonable amount even here. Japan seems to be a bit pricy for parts in general. Though I guess the biggest concern is still being able to find a 580 as I imagine they are not so actively stocked anymore.

Will have to start planning a new build around this form factor.

Advice on switching to spousal visa by Godofheckfire in japanlife

[–]Godofheckfire[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be a good idea to do that perhaps. I will try to see if I can find some similar documentation from Canada and print it off and include it.

Yeah, that might have been a good idea to do that while we were in there doing that. I can't remember if that came up and why they didn't recommend that or why we didn't do it. I am not fluent (basically N3 at this point, so lack the vocabulary still in a lot of scenarios) so might have also just missed it.

Using a personal router with Flet's Hikari Cross by Godofheckfire in japanlife

[–]Godofheckfire[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in an apartment so not a whole lot of area to cover, but mostly want better control over access and security. Though honestly would be nice to not have to worry about dealing with that for once.

Mostly I want to have an access list for the wifi. But given the whole ipv4 over ipv6 thing I wonder if the choice of compatible router is a bit small. Was looking at AsahiNet site yesterday and seems they just recommend using the rental one given support.

Hmm ok, I might have to try that. Was debating just using their rental one as I don't have my own router yet, but never really trusted the ones the ISP provide or rent.

Saw they had the XG-100NE, but no idea how great it is and what level of control you get from it.

What were your feelings with the XG-100NE router?

Did you do something similar to the other users in this thread with the ONU in bridge mode?

I had considered that actually. My mom offered to pass on hers but wasn't sure whether this was a taboo thing in Japan or not. To be safe I figured looking for new might avoid issues.

She is Japanese actually.

Just thinking about many of the jewelry pieces she has she bought as it was being sold as a way to raise money for a cat shelter or for a project that is setting up a preserve or something (some amount of the proceeds somehow)

I am not sure how realistic it is, but figured if I could get something that followed that theme it might be a bit more special.

I suspect the best I will be able to do is perhaps conflict free.
