Kagu's Corner

For a few years, but more seriously starting around 2023, I have been interested in internet privacy, free and open source software (FOSS), and self hosting. I started exploring this interest by starting to build a home server and diving down that rabbit hole. This interest led me to stumble upon some videos about the IndieWeb and motivated me to start this website. My goal is to generally carve my own space out here on the internet.

I graduated college into the start of widespread remote work. The lockdowns and pandemic made the company I worked for 'proud of our productivity as we all isolate' or whatever it was at the time. CEOs would literally brag on our monthly emails about how we had kept revenue streams even with the closing of offices...
You may or may not have read my essay titled 'On Being a Hater - The Loss of Critical Consumption', in which I talked about how I am an advocate for critical consumption and believe people have become too attached to the media they consume to be able to critique it in a healthy way. One point that I left out,...
So I am now writing this from a Fedora 40/Windows 10 dual-booted machine using QOwnNotes on the linux partition. It's been a bit of a rollercoaster as it took me about 3 hrs of troubleshooting to get the dual boot to function. First some backstory: A few months ago I decided to dust off my old Dell XPS 13 from way...
Smaller update today just cause I felt like I should write something light as I'm progressing in my building of the site. I've been pretty lucky to start corresponding with someone else who has a really cool site! Won't name them yet just cause I haven't asked. It's been nice getting to hear from a stranger in this...
I'm in my late 20's. Oh god am I gonna have to update this part every time? My main hobbies are gaming, music, and weird niche tech generally. I am generally interested in techy stuff and pick up a lot of hobbies that provide me with a technologically-oriented creative outlet. Previous things I've tried are:...
Ramblings on the word 'hater' and it's connection to conspicuous consumption I think the word 'hater', at least in colloquial use, has seen a large shift in connotation and a dilution of meaning. There was a time, confirmed by the most popular definition of Hater on urbandictionary - which at the time of writing is...
Recently I have been following some more fashion blogs both in my rss reader and on the remaining social media I have. I really really like their content and find it quite fascinating to hear about fashion history from the likes of Derek Guy (@dieworkwear on Twitter and putthison.com), and to hear about others'...
I can summarize this manga pretty easily: it's an incel self-insert rom-com that is at best frustrating and at worst downright infuriating. Story 3/10: If it wasn't for shoehorned forced drama and the introduction of multiple characters, this manga would have ended 3 arcs and two years ago. It kept my intrigue...
Leave it to Trigger to absolutely fumble a solid world and story elements 60% of the way through the show. Y'all remember the DITFranxx aliens arc? Yeah😐 Characters 3/10: First I'll go over the minor problems - Most side characters in CP:E are expendable from the start and it's very clear. My hope was that the show...
I wrote this way back on Nov 11th, 2020. This was around a year after I started learning about leftist politics, so brace for baby leftist talking points. I will probably write a critique of my own critique at some point. If you ever decide to discuss politics online, or even just scroll through political twitter...
I have not read the manga so this review is limited in scope. Minor anime spoilers ahead Fire Force has some real moments of audiovisual brilliance. I want to say that this anime has hands down the best sound design I've ever witnessed. However, audiovisual spectacle cannot carry the incredibly poor storytelling and...
This is a rant/essay I wrote back in July of 2021. There are a lot of errors and things I frankly disagree with in it. But as my first blog post on this site I wanted to archive it here. Image is from a dope tee from Crying In The Club Recently there has been a huge influx of interest in Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs),...
