I've been hesitant to refer to myself as a kitsune or as kitsune-kin, partially because I wasn't sure I really was a kitsune and partially because of concerns about kitsune being a Japanese thing. But, the more I think about it, maybe I am a kitsune? I'm still not sure if this works, culturally speaking (do kitsune have to be Japanese and is there a different term for non-japanese—particularly white—kitsune?), but conceptually, I think I might be a kitsune, not just a foxgirl

IBS stands for

Bitch.
Seriously.

Hello from Qubes! I've gotten it installed, now I need to do a lot of setup. Ah, well.

New hobby: setting my keyboard to "flute 2" and playing along to accumula town

And, to clarify, Arch isn't a trivial install. If you can't do it, there's nothing wrong with that. Just because I helped a friend who was uncomfortable with the command line get a working Arch system doesn't mean everyone can just install it. I've done this many times. I'm used to it by now. So when I say "it's not that hard to install," I mean that it's not that hard *for me*.

(I can't believe I honestly uttered the words "Well, Arch isn't that hard to install.")

So, 5400 RPM drive is out. I'm just gonna wipe my SSD and put it on there because, in my own words, if I don't like it, "Arch isn't *that* hard to install."

Currently installing with Qubes on a spare hard drive. I'm hoping that, along with its virtualization thing being secure, it actually makes for a decent Linux gaming experience thanks to a combo of low-level windows VM + discrete GPU passthrough while the OS keeps using the integrated graphics. But, we'll see. I'm setting it up on a spare 5400 RPM hard drive, so setup is slow.

nothing like driving five hours then moving a bunch of stuff up two flights of stairs. I'm sleepy fox now

Love seeing people talk about Trump getting voted out as if:
a) an election is guaranteed to happen,
b) said election won't just be a repeat of 2016,
c) Trump will actually just leave office and his rabid fanbase won't cause problems, and
d) Trump getting voted out will solve anything

It's not. I checked. We're not even under a watch.

Whee, thunderstorm!

I like thunderstorms.

Assuming it's not a severe storm with tornados. But it shouldn't be.
