computers suck
i'm stick and tried of thinking about all this
none of it is inspireing
it all enticess you in with an idea thats beutiful
then the reality is that you don't know how all the parts function well enough to get it to work
i was dreaming last night
dreams show me the parts of life that are important to me
compters are not in my dreams
people and locations are in my dreams
exploration is very important to me
there's alot of exploring old large abandoned buildings in my dreams
there are strange sounds in my dreams
i want to find those strange sounds in real life
i was going to try and make bespoke software for some of the physical devices i have around me
i don't think this is worth it
the whole rabbit hole has been simply depressing
i have not made any progress
i've just gotten more confused
i give up
i'm going to just deal with software that already exists
2024-10-31
here's the plan.
if the rpi5 can run some of the games i love then i will consider keeping it.
if not i have no need for it's power hungery exsistance.
and i'll stick with the pi4
been considdering a pi zerow2 as well its the most power effienct one.
2024-10-31
yeah i'm remebering why the alure of bespoke electronic musical instruments was strong for me. it's whole function is self contained in a physical manor. i guess thats why people like eurorack right.
i'm tired
i wish i went to that halloween party
i didn't want to drive the 30 min there then back at night
i hate driving alone
its... sad... esspecaly at night
shoulda just asked my firend strait up, "yo if you're planing on going, you think ya could pick me up, ill help pay for gass"
instead of "you goin to that party tonight?" then wait for a followup before asking
because when he answered he was already there at the party "yup im here"
fuck i wish i was there
:( i really wish i went
im tired of my family, i need to move out
they don't question stuff to hard
my mom and younger bro like halmark
it drains
we did watch somthing together though that was fun
i guess i tend to focus on what im unhappy with
im tired
im stressed out
i want to get into a better situationone where im happyer
worrieing about all this technical stuff has not helped much it feals like
i want to make more art
forget about all the technicalities
fuck off youtube im not touching you
2024-10-30
fuck. i was worried i should had waited before buing the rpi 5 really only sinking in now, just how expensive it all was. still need to work on that i guess. i was depressed, post cammping blues hit me real bad.
the RPI4 was 30 used
i just bought the RPI5 new for 70
here's the problem. there's alot of new art being made right now. games in particular are using facnyer and fancyer game engines. ex.most newer games are using opengl 3.3 as a min. the pi 4 cannot do that. the ripi can. these experimental games are important to me. friken 0n0w, good god that game is beutiful. if i only us the pi4 that means i won't be able to instatiate those high mem cost games into reality. friken Rain World??? its beutiful. and its been sectioned off to a certain set of hardware. if i go with the rpi4 than i would have to wait till i'm around computers that are powerful enough to host those artistic experiences.
what i do NOT want to do is section off a piece of art because the artist didn;t think about the cost of using high fedelity graphics... like is that a bad thing??? the ignorance of artist. who sits and paints all day. unaware of the world around. fuck idk. you know what i'm talking about. say vr art. you must own vr to be able to interact with that art. thats kinda gross. right? i mean, most video games are "games" to be fair. not really any kind of art. friken idk "Control" the game. looks very nice but, fuck, the physical material required by a computer to create those images. i'm overthinking this too much probelby. all computers are environment sucks. all computers where at one point new. and created to maximize power. at least rpi's are made with power efiency in mind.
what is ther perpose of this personal device?
- to be able to create compterized art that can be view/run on as many other compters as possible.
- be able to create art in the moment. coding new tools takes a long time man. i don't want to have to reinvent the wheel.
- be able to host other people's art.
- vedios are easy, unless i'm looking to go older than the rpi3
- images are fine
- games. this is where it gets dicey. we could get rid of this point all together and rely on other computers in the environment for acsessing these pieces of art. I've thought about this alot. making art and consuming art seem inconpatable. should the hardware force you ito one of those modes? like how one might need diffrent rroms for diffrent tasks. or should you have your brain do that? two seprate devices? on for "gaming" on for "creating". or just cut to the chase and do one device??? right?? i guess we'll check to see if the pi5 can do most of what i'd like to get out of it.
the gods of "reuse" are very angery right now. many ideas on the internet of reusing old tech. or at least staying compatible with old tech... bro its depressing. there is extream beuty in using somthing old in the age of "new". there are so many "old" "crappy" computers. its awsome when they are able to keep doin stuff.
so now there is a rpi4 and rpi5 in my possetion. do i wait 5 years then, the pi 5 becomes old right? XD its all kinda stupid right??? now i got myself thinking about using a rpi3? god i'm not stable. the whole purpose of this was to find a stable computer.
fuckin linux is being dumb. i'm numb to the frustration at this point. i try to get it so i can record puredata via pipewire. hah. no worky for you :) you don't get to record the epic noises you're hearing right now. Blockhead? you favorite DAW ever? nah fuck you :) the box64 emulation does not work with its precompiled c code. the computers keep saying fuck you. im gettin close to saying fuck you back. i'll just create my own daw, my own synths. that way it just works. fuck linux audio. its to complex for me to understand, it breaks to much.
ok here's what im seeing
rpi3 - base line 2.5amps
rpi4 - 3 times more powerful than the rpi3 3.2amps
rpi5 - 3 times more powerful than the rpi5 5.2amps
deminishing returns happening here mabye? no its geeting more efficent i think. idk, i can't find any graphs online.
huh thats strange, so its not that they get more power efffiecent they can just do more stuff
fuck
fuck
fuck
i need someone to bounce ideas off of
or mabye not, it will work itself out,
tech wil die, or it will stay forever
what matters? i like math.
i figured out what it is :)
"low-techno-fetishism"
thats what the peremacomputing comunity is XD
excuse my rudness, i'm joking
hmm maybe i can use puredata inside of reaper??
i think i miss about blockhead is that it was always recording. you'd imporvise, hear somthing cool and be able to grab the audio. there's no pressure of the record button.
2024/04/10
the things i spend the most time with are my tecnoigies. what does that say about me? how are you going to survive?
2024-09-23
kleltish
just unlocked a memeory as i walked down the stairs :)
i was holding a pancho as i was going down
sneeking
plastic noises
the taste of cranberries and toothpaste
the shape of the cranberries, red
i remeber seeking into the snack coboard and taking craberries up to my room
you had to be carful otherwize the plastic bag would make lowd sounds
would problebly have to carful of the cobaord door as well
they always tasted funny
i would brush my teath bewfore so they tasted of toothpaste
oh man, i loved playing mega man x on that old phone
i've been seeking tecnoligy use at night for a long time
its very nostagic for me :)
its my happy place and my freedom

i need to write this down before i forget/ be come complacent to being back at my parents place. i need to put it into words so it becomes instaciated.
i really just fully realized the situation of this house i've grown up in. i've just experienced that life can be lived extrreamly diffrently. that the situation that my parensts live is not in any way "the way things work". its streange because logically you know this. but you don't KNOW it. it feels like ive just betrayed somthing. being back here i'm going to have to compecate with alot of reading and media consumption, as far as issues of protesting and actevism go. because i know if i don't then... no, stuff is diffrent now, somthings changed. how life can be lived in a more awnest way. cause thats the probelm. its ignoring the bad stuff that happens. not liking change because its diffrent. not wanting to be wrong. no no no no. the goal should be to learn and fill the role that is needed. consumerism realy truly does make us focus on what we want. there's so many good things i've just stepped off from and i want to go back bad. you know how they say, "home's not a place, its a fealling". thats this right now. i don't feel at home in this house i grew up in. its nostalgia has turned. the location has become more of what it is in my head. more so than it was before. i see the abcent conversation, the closed doors, the screens being used to pass the time. its sad. i have been given perspective. i really don't want that to go to waist. here, i'm going to need to put more effort into educating myself because obviously i was not doing a good enough job before.
down in fort collins the comunity i experienced was diffrent. i really need to know if there's something like that here. or if i need to just find a way to becaome part oif that space over there.
the look around doing wwoofing is needed i think. if stuffs guna change i need to learn what my environment is. because there i felt more at home with my body. its not somthing i can say in words. i had less disforia between my words and my body. i said what i was thinking, i learn to do, instead of thinking about what to do. really really. thinking in words kills you.
i just feel stuck here at this place. my parents house. where can i go? where are the places here that are simular to the places i experienced up that way? the fuck, i've just been blind. this was not ok.
i've started to learn whats happening with palestine. like i knew it was a problem but no no no. in the same way, i did not KNOW. exsusess really shouldn't be an option here. i got to be in meetings with people who spend abunch of time working on protests. people who get to grips with where taxes are going. people who are intreaseted in learing about the reality of things. its just the thing of, a person who cares deeply about somthing, its inspireing, and i want to learn about it, why do you care about it so much. that is inspireing.
my brain is still over there. i'm not happy that i came back. i need to move again. this is not ok.
remember the hike under the moon.
remember the casual talk. (its been a while)
remember the people and their passions for lifes things.
remember the art metalworks building.
remember the kindness
the words
the room upstairs
watching the office
reading dorohedoro
reading the protest papers
listening to the podcasts
the handmade bike park
the trading of zines
that one persons shaing of how to be kind to yourself and your body. i almost cried. noything like that has been felt in person for me. i haven;t felt like that in a long time.
remember not so it becomes nostalgia but so we can do it again. become involved. join in the actions that conjoin with what needs to be done. i need to change the vocabulary. the words and pharses im using are not apropriate.
i need to email the person at FoCoAgainstCapitailism about their website. if theres anything i can give its my technical knowlage. i want to know how i can make the dreams come true. i fucking want to know how to live life with people. this world.
2024-09-04
now that i have quit
i will atemt to be as hands on with life as possible
hold real true reality in my hands
get to grips with what my computer is
understand each of my tools inside out
so i can fix them
so they become part of my mental mythos
to experiment with a way of living
that is not layered with superfulus junk
that is focused on exsistance
and the people and emotions within it
im done being entertained
let start destorying things
rip the soul asunder with the pure energy of exsistance
2024-08-21
no no no
somthing has riped the soul asunder
what is this?
quit the job
good bye people
what to do?
what is this thing life?
it hurts?
in the way wishing for somthing diffrent hurts.
god.
where are people.

you know what i think i learned from the manga A Bride's Story? that back in that day, movies books and all that was not necicary, life was too full of real stuff.
2024-07-28 00:01
i wonder if its easier to separate yourself from others because of tequniligy. i have a friend who ended their frinedship with anther person. this was all done through Discord. i dont know...
i wouldn't know i guess. i've never been in that situation...
2024-07-22 22:10
my dream is to live in a small town somwhere. where the whole town colectivly tries to tend to greenhouses and grow our own food. cities have to many people. a single family surviving in the wilderness is prideful and unessisary. in this small town, i would do my best to learn about plants and help care for any technoligy that happens to be still alive.
2024-07-21 23:21
i wonder the reason why i have never experienced, viseral, loathing for a person is because i've never really tried to KNOW someone. firends are friends. we keep our distance. or i keep my distance? meta analysis of friendship sounds dangerous, or good depending on the flavor. its easy to look at something from afar and take both sides of the argument. or at least try to argue for both. is that what i do to friends? look from afar? i see conflict happening. i am not part of the conflict. because i stay separated. im scared.
i wonder what gets left out of the stories we tell. thats somthing i need to remember. the truth is within what the story is told as. fully trust and distrust the storyteller at the same time. (fuck like thats possible)
they were talking about how * is so amiable and it anoys them. i am also amiable. i see myself in the person you are hating on. i also like to hide my emotions. hide them in the code and in the music. it almost... perhapes its ok to just hate on someone? to fully say, they are a bad person, don't bother with them. no, no, no thats bad right? but your suporting your friend? right? or is the "truth" more important. i huess truth in emotion is non exsistant right. "truth" has no moral opinions, no emotions. "truth / exsistance" just is. its is all of everything. all the opinions, all the perpectives. right?
i like the mountains, and i like trees and rivers. they dont try to have opinions. they don't try to fill a spesific social hole. if we've lost anything from the days of monkey it would be that. we no longer are just trying to survive. its all social strangeness... don't over think just be and do? no thats also bad. but no. what would it be like to be a tree? would i wish to be a human? would i not even think about that part. i really to wonder what would happen if we got rid of all the social shit, were forced to live in survival. live closer to our suroundings, live closer to the texture of exsitance rather than the visage plastered on a screen. how would our art change? how would our relationships change?
