my corner of the world

hidden within the endless abyss

beneath the glowing ether of a digital sea

Been a While

15 September 2026

So not much has changed since the last time I edited this site. I'm still job-hunting, still dealing with mental health issues and a family that thinks those issues don't exist, but whatever.

In much HAPPIER news:

I started uploading to YouTube again, just without my voice - as it turns out my speaking freely for entertainment triggers IRL issues (I won't go into detail). But I can still be creative without speaking, and at the very least I can be helpful.

I decided to write here again for a few reasons.

For starters, I can link you to my channel where I've resumed uploading content :P

I also recently made a Ko-Fi account for the off-chance that people like my content so much that they're willing to tip me a coffee, cause having hundreds of applications rejected or ghosted is really starting to make me feel like shit ouo

The other reason is because the videos I've been making are mainly tutorials for Voices of the Void, and if I'm going to be making videos about less known stuffs, it might as well go here on the site I made for less known stuffs.

I'm not quite sure when I'll get around to actually putting VotV in the Misc page, but it'll happen eventually.

Today I Fucked Up and I Hate Everything

1 April 2026 (not a joke)

If you've ever used Linux extensively (i.e. almost everything you do is through the terminal instead of through GUIs), you'll understand why today I felt like nothing mattered anymore.

I was getting ready to do some work, and was cleaning out random files that were taking up space and were no longer usable.

One of those items was a backup folder from a previous install of Linux named 'home', spelled the same as the standard 'home' folder, but on a different drive.

I tried to delete it, only to realize that folder - and all of its subfolders - had perms still on it from before.

So I did what I always do when I need to delete recursive folders with perms:

$ sudo rm -rf /home/

Those of you with astute observation or a core understanding of Linux commands already understand why the last half of my day has been crying and attempts to not be crying.

For those who don't know, or don't use Linux, 'sudo' is our version of 'run as admin'.

'rm' is "remove" (literally), and '-rf' is an 'argument' (think of it as an extra option) that says "do the 'rm' thing but for all folders inside the folder".

(Actually to be more specific, the 'r' is "recursive" (the all folders thing), and the 'f' is "force".)

To put it simply: there's a massive difference between

./home/

and

/home/

the former being "the 'home' folder in this directory (the dot = "this folder's"),

and the latter being "the actual 'home' folder of the entire computer".

So I had a really bad day, lost a lot of customization, lost some scripts I liked to use, and am now on a new install of CachyOS once again. On top of that, I have to re-setup certain things that I never wrote down, of which some are important.

Also I didn't have Timeshift installed.

The site is undergoing a LOT of changes.

Expect things to be broken, missing, moved around, etc.

In Progress or Planning:

• Changes to navigation menus.
• Header bar for page transitioning. Done. Optimizing (I just learned about semantic types; fml).
• Left Sidebar for current page's content (maybe).
• Right Sidebar for condensed info (maybe) (probably going wiki-style, idk. i like these small things).
• I'm not an HTML/CSS guy - it might take me a while.
• Additional pages for games I like that don't have easy-to-access information (i.e. S.T.A.L.K.E.R Anomaly) <- CURRENT
• Additional pages for personal projects (i.e. custom Lockout.Live boards)
• Updating style as I go.

Originally I made this changelog for the Stalker Anomaly wiki, but I think it works better here on the front page for now.
