Here she is, with her goofiest big grin.

I love her so much.

Finally, the top games of 2025. There aren't any surprises here, but then, what did I expect?

The 1055 hours in voice equates to being in the top 3.4% of all Discord voice chatters worldwide.

Of the 2220 emoji, the top five were hearts, eyes, and a custom one from @thatwelshkaren.bsky.social's Discord (she's also an awesome streamer, go check her out!)

Let's break down these stats a bit more.

Apparently, the 14369 messages puts me in the top 3.53% of all Discord messages.

It's corporate "rewind" or "summary" season currently, and starting things off, it's @discord.com.

Looking at these stats, it's impressive.

More details to follow.

Well, at least my PHP skills are getting there, if nothing else.

A screenshot of black text on a white background. The text reads: "It Works! The web server is running Apache/2.4.65 (Raspbian) on 192.168.0.20 and it is working correctly.

I FIXED IT!

I got a line in the configuration wrong, and that was what was making it break.

The #php is working nicely too!

This, plus SMB working nicely, now to do some #webdev with an -actual- server.

Now, where did those files go?

Some more, that I dug for.

I do need to learn to take more dynamic shots, rather than rely upon screenshots to do the work.

I hope I'm not too late to the party, but here she is.

Welp, I borked it.

I think I need to set up local DNS (Pi Hole, or similar).

At least I own the domain I selected.

Took this over two weeks ago, but the Arkveld has fallen. I was inspired by a similar pose that a friend did.

I'm lucky enough to have seen @lukejerram.bsky.social's Museum of the Moon, Mars, Gaia, and Helios.

Each one of them gives a different feeling, but all are so incredibly spectacular to behold. It puts into perspective so many different things for me.

Check the image ALT text for locations.
A picture of the art piece "Museum of the Moon" by Luke Jerram. This was when it was displayed at Derby Cathedral. I visited in 28th October 2023. The piece itself is a projection of the surface of the moon onto a sphere, which is illuminated, and suspended from the ceiling. The piece "Mars" by Luke Jerram. This was from the display at Leicester Cathedral. I visited on 7th June 2025. The piece is a projection of the surface of Mars upon a sphere which is illuminated from the inside. This has accompanying music which was played on the cathedral organ. The piece "Gaia" by Luke Jerram. This was taken at Sherborne Abbey. I visited on 30th August 2025. The piece is a projection of the surface of the Earth onto a sphere which is both illuminated from the inside, and is rotating. The piece was accompanied by music and soundscapes. The piece "Helios" by Luke Jerram. This was displayed at Kedleston Hall. I visited on the 25th October 2025. The piece is a projection of the surface of the sun onto a sphere, which is illuminated from the inside. The piece was accompanied by a soundscape and music.

Like, this feels like it's a whole security risk, and I'm really not sure what to make of it.

I know Python is used in Data Science (which is something I need to get around to learning properly), but this is Microsoft, and I can all but feel the gaping hole in application isolation.

As a case of slow migration from a certain "art" platform that has gone far down the diffusion model path.

I took this some time ago, and I'm still happy with how it came out.

Three spicy headaches to see Yoshi-P this Rising? That's quite something.

Hope, Zelphie, and Liokki, all got to see Yoshi-P himself say thank you, and we hope you'll stay with us this year.

I had this account decide to add me to a moderation list called "Anti-AI Blocklist Subscribers."

I get the feeling that this is just some troll that is trying to stir things up, for no other reason than they can.

It was also fun to run into @thatwelshkaren.bsky.social's Inkling at the event.

I know the game just grabbed your friend's inklings/octolings and slung them in, but still.

Digging through screenshots from games (I have so many, help!) I found these.

From the final splatfest in Splatoon 3, I had to take pictures with the idols.

Callie and Marie will always be the OGs, but I do really love Pearl and Marina.

Forgive me whilst I gush a little more about this game.

I love the fact that, when you successfully hunt a monster, it gives you a freeze-frame of the final blow.

The lengths I'm having to go to because my phone will not show up as a USB device for some reason.

It recognises it's plugged in (it comes up as charging) but not once does the phone or the computer recognise it as a USB device.

Using SFTP is probably better, right?

Just how overjoyed, and hungry, he looks when he cooks something awesome is so heart-warming and adorable.

Sometimes, I play other games.

Taken from Monster Hunter World, after a very close friend invited me to play.

I tried my best to make Hope (of XIV fame) and I don't think I did too badly.
