like fuck sure dude let me just cut my tshirt in half then tie it directly into a piece of unhemmed lace, this totally doesnt look like shit and incredibly wont fall apart after 1 wash

every time i look for inspiration on reworking a garment i drown in "how to make your clothes look distressed" and "top 50 no-sew tshirt alterations" type shit

i guess its fine that its out there and some of it is even useful but a lot of it just looks like shit

feels to me like most sewing stuff out there is either about making tiny low-effort changes or making stuff from scratch, but most of what i do is kind of in the middle - really involved resize work or like, making something new out of an old garment by more or less tearing it apart

if i do set up a blog its gonna be such a weird mix of shit? like. i wanna document the bullshit i wrestle thru trying to keep my computer running nice, but also i wanna track my clothing repairs on there

ever since i started learning japanese i feel like i've been busy constantly

i guess spending around 2 hours a day studying flash cards is probably why,

@NovaSquirrel oddly i wasnt even taught it at university, i didnt really encounter it first-hand until it was tacked onto the java course i used to teach a couple years ago, where it caused nothing but trouble for everyone involved

fuck i guess it's been more than a decade now huh

time sure does be a thing

ive been programming for maybe a decade and im only just learning how to actually do unit testing,

im not sure node.js even existed when i first learned web dev lmao, everything was php and it fucking sucked

hmm,

if i wanna actually freelance i should probably learn all these js modules i keep hearing about huh

just saw the "nice shoes" cutscene from mgs3

i should really get round to actually playing thru the metal gear series

hmmm... it looks like i actually could use fontconfig to make ricty draw bigger

unfortunately i dont think i can use it to change noto's low baseline.....

hmmm.... if i set ricty as the default monospace font it's. kinda small. not sure fontconfig can help me there tho so for now im just setting everything to noto and going back to pissing about with my awesome wm config, since setting everything to noto has uh, kinda broken that a little,

turns out "sans" is deprecated and should've been "sans-serif",

shit works now.

who the fuck is this

like i do "fc-match -s monospace" and there's all kinds of shit in there, like there's a million latex fonts in there that have absolutely no business being in there, what the fuck

realising my fontconfig is all fucked up

is this just. how this shit is for everyone?

the second part works

the first part doesnt

these are in the same fucking file,

i just want to make noto the preferred sans font. i retire of "bit stream vera".

hey i got a bug to report, about fontconfig? yeah the problem im having is that its configs are an incomprehensible mess. thanks
