One of the main things I do in VRChat is live performances, mostly doing guitar and vocals. One spot where this has been lacking is that I don’t have a satisfying way of tracking my hands while I play guitar, though. Here’s some things I’ve tried and things I’ve yet to try.

This week I decided to go nuclear on my bad YouTube habit. I installed a plugin called Tab Limiter that lets me limit youtube.com to one tab at a time.

The time I would normally dedicate to journaling has been taken up by my two new puppies, Meelon and Oreeon. They are almost three months old now. At this age, they require a lot of attention. Their energy...

Es ist noch gar nicht lange her, das wir aufgehört haben mit der Natur zu sprechen, und auch heute glauben erstaunlich viele Menschen an einen Gott, der nicht nur zuhört, sondern auch antwortet.

So yesterday, I wrote about my home lab fiasco. I’ve managed to get some things set back up now, but it’s time for the report of what all I lost because of my poor backup habits. First, I was able to salvage my RSS feeds and my Linkding stuff. That was the most important part for me, so I’m quite happy. I ended up...
