Omnist and Mystic

I am currently learning how to explore the Akashic Records, and in my free time, I enjoy reading stories on AO3, especially set in the Human Domestication Guide universe.

  • Damn, a 1.5GB Excel file!? That sounds like a nightmare to work with. And here I thought a 200MB Excel file acting as a store’s entire yearly accounting ledger (where I used to work) was bad!

    At this point, you need a proper database and some reporting scripts / software. If that one file somehow gets corrupted, it’s all over.






  • I’ve been using various Linux distros since Ubuntu 8.10 came out, when I was back in high school.

    Ever since I got my iPad mini though, my computer usage has honestly kind of dropped off. I have a ThinkPad X13s, and I’m waiting on it to get better Linux support (since is has a Snapdragon ARM processor). Until then, it’s currently running Windows 11, and it’s fine. Not the greatest thing in the world, but it works for the things I need it to do, and that’s what’s important to me as I get older.

    Once it gets better Linux kernel support, I may install a Linux distro, but at the end of the day 90% of what I do on my personal machines is just browsing the web and content consumption. I’m a Windows SysAdmin at work and tinker plenty. When I make it home, I end up just chilling and reading or watching something interesting.


  • I was watching the counter yesterday as various subreddits went dark, and I started watching when it hit 1200, and woke up this morning with it being over 6000.

    There was an initial hurdle to understanding how instances work together / how to search between them, but now that I have that figured out, it’s a lot easier. Most of the communities that I actively interacted with already have similar communities here on Lemmy. r/FountainPens was a big one for me.


  • I honestly just miss Apollo, since the layout and customization was amazing. I’d also look forward to seeing Slide being ported / forked for the Fediverse, since it’s free and open source.

    Being able to customize swipe actions and quickly sort through content, as well as hiding content that I’ve already seen (so it doesn’t show up in my feed every time I refresh), were my favorite features by far.
