The Vore Archive. Been meaning to do a better write-up for this, especially since the Reddit post got killed by spam filters. If you've been closely following this project, there is precisely no new information here.

Wanted to post some kind of update but can't figure out what to say. tl;dr: I'm tired, I'm realizing "just dealing with it" is not a valid strategy for loneliness, sorry for not drawing more, I have no idea how to unfuck my brain, and I want a hug. Hope you're all doing well.

Then the main athiesm channel I watched uploaded a video bashing furries. Genuinely made me second guess everything he talked about, stopped watching that shit, and avoided the alt right pipeline that content eventually turned into. Thanks, furries.

This is also the reason I cringe internally whenever my beliefs come up (not that it comes up often) and I have to say I'm an athiest. Anyway, I'm rambling more because tomorrow is a shit day at work and I don't want to go to sleep. Goodnight (again).

I'm almost certainly going to delete this thread later Iol I do have things to be grateful for at least. I have a job, I have savings, I have a roof over my head. Also managed to avoid going down the incel/right-wing rabbit hole when I was 14 for the funniest fucking reason...

When I was 14 and going through my edgy athiest phase, i watched a couple of *those* YT channels that talked about atheism mixed in with "feminism bad" type shit. Luckily I liked another regular youtuber who was a furry, so I had locked in that furries were chill in my head...

I do miss having an IRL friend to do stuff with though, was a good distraction from my head. I've only really had one friend since I was 12 and they moved out of state like 5 years ago. We both suck at texting so we've drifted apart. Anyway, getting too personal now, might delete later. Goodnight.

Bonus tip: if you're a parent and want to raise a socially inept weirdo like me, it's only 3 easy steps! 1. Only have one kid 2. Homeschool them 3. Move states constantly They'll hate themselves in their adult life or your money back guaranteed!

I've also realized recently that I base my entire self worth on other people's opinions which is probably why i burn myself out at work. My default state is hating myself and the only breaks are when someone says I did a good job. Do I know how to change this? Haha no.

I should probably see a therapist, but options around me are insanely limited. I live with family right now in a house with thin walls, so can't do online either. So back to the good ol' strategy of just dealing with it and hoping my brain unfucks itself on its own.

i'm pretty sure this wrapper is vibe coded, which makes this the first and only benefit to society that generative ai has brought us.

anyway, work update: it continues to be very busy, everyone is miserable, no one is sure if this company will survive another year because of non-existent management and a customer base that has become very frugal due to funding problems caused by the dipshit administration. i am very tired.

it felt like i was finally starting to claw my way out of burnout a couple months ago, but these past few weeks have just pushed me right back into complete exhaustion. i feel bad saying this, but there's a part of my mind that hopes the company goes under just so i can get a break.

i haven't watched any tv shows in quite a while, but i'm trying to get my mind off work so i started watching chainsmoker cat and the new always sunny. it feels like these shows were meant to be watched together.

i also don't want to keep bugging eka every time something fucks up and i get my own ip banned. they've been very nice in dealing with my bullshit but i would really like to stop bugging them about this.

re: the movie it's hard to look at the movie in isolation because it's constantly referencing the source material, but not doing any of what made the comic great. i think if the comic didn't exist it would be a 6.5-ish/10, but the comparison makes it frustrating to watch. alcock is a great though.

[Comic] Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow I'm not much of a comic reader, but figured it would be fun to read this one prior to the movie. It's really good! The art is also beautiful across the board. I am very confused about the horse. Bummer the movie changed almost everything.

unraid is offline πŸŽ‰ still a bit more work i want to do, but at this point everything is functional, so i'm taking a break. quick thread:

podman feels like what docker is supposed to be, and quadlets are such an elegant way to manage them. I didn't use fedora cockpit much, but that also came in handy for managing firewall stuff. selinux caused very few headaches throughout, which was a nice surprise.

For the vore archive: Unchanged, it just lives under proxmox instead of unraid. I'm actually considering folding this into the next VM, but haven't fully decided.

For general services (nginx, jellyfin, linux isos): I've switched to podman quadlets running on fedora server. It remains to be seen how much ongoing maintenance this requires, but this was the most fun part of moving away from unraid. (1/2)

For storage and network shares: I'm using OpenMediaVault with BTRFS. I have spare drives and might consider trying TrueNAS and ZFS in the future, but for now I like OMV's approach of just doing one basic thing and doing it well.

alright, server stuff is basically sorted. waiting on one last transfer to finish, have to update fstab on one of the VMs, and then i'm totally off of unraid. i have a few days off this week, going to get out of town and just try to mentally recover a bit. finally time to breathe.

Update

windrin@windrin.bsky.social

Anyway, server rebuild is still moving along. Still need to figure out quadlets. Also considering using ZFS for my main data storage since it's probably going to be a while before I have another opportunity to use it. Work continues to be exhausting. I'm tired.
