maybe i should make 2025 my guitar year and give up on any pretense of getting anything else done

i don't know who else needs to hear this, but: if you're running a MediaWiki-based wiki and have a manual confirmation process for new accounts, and you want to delete the unconfirmed accounts made by spambots, you don't need UserMerge, you can just use https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:RemoveUnusedAccounts.php

it is amazing how reliably being in a slightly too cold environment can induce depression

why am i struggling so hard with tuning my guitar today, it took forever but i feel like it was easier a week ago

being able to remember and sing specific pitches, and being able to play pitches on a digital keyboard… all this is worth very little if i struggle to compare them

[generic-sounding life advice that's functionally a subtweet]

as seen previously (https://social.noyu.me/@hikari/statuses/01JBMWA61RQ4DJK69K2DGVNFGJ) i had already been thinking rewatching mawaru penguindrum after seven years might be fun, but a mutual just decided to hop on it, so let's gooo

at least i'm sincere

why am i in this story
why am i in this place
why do i care so much
for a life without such grace

the vox amplug3 series of tiny headphone amps for guitars have a cute feature where the “aux in” 3.5mm jack isn't just TRS but actually TRRS, returning the output via the same cable, so if you plug it into a smartphone, it shows up like a headset and you can record the amp output

oh is that why random access memories still hits a spot that other albums don't. it's not mastered to win a loudness war it's mastered to actually be enjoyable to listen to
