Elfi, known bug enjoyer @elfi@pixie.town

I fell in love with light. Lights. Everywhere. My partner fueled my passion and like a little moth-squirrel brought light fixture after light fixture into my apartment. And smart stuff as well. So now I use my phone to turn on, turn off, adjust, dim, light up, and change colors according to my mood and needs.

My room has six Govee light bulbs alone. Two Govee lamps and one Govee string light. There are more fairy lights as well, and another led lamp and they're all plugged into smart power outlets.

I never get tired of seeing my room in various lighting situations. It's cozy, it's cinematic, it's moody, it's beautiful. A source of joy.

The other day I made a 3D model of Alice Lunazera as a plushie! At first it was just a prop but then her and I agreed it would make a cute vtuber model! I might make more of these. I explode with cute aggression every time I see it!

CDE 2.5.3 released

So my love for the Common Desktop Environment isn't exactly a secret, so let's talk about the project's latest release, CDE 2.5.3, released a few days ago. As the version number suggests, this first new version in two years is a rather minor release, containing only a few bug fixes. For instance, CDE's window manager dtwm picked up support for more mouse buttons, its file manager dtfile

In his house at R'lyeh, dead Cthulhu lies dreaming. I focus on my dreamwatcher machine, making minute adjustments in all five dimensions.

The Great Old One whimpers, vast limbs twitching in unease. What visions can terrify such an entity?

An image forms in the machine.

A classroom.

No trousers.
