Big fan of Final Fantasy 9. the dolls and black waltz style black mages left a impact on me. I have used the handle Mage a few times years at a time. only to burn it and have to move on for a time. and always with a waltz/black mage inspired profile pic. so in what is very much my last real go at any of this it seems fitting a new "mage" appears. this one a bit torn and worn. weaker but wiser. admit I just gave gemini some art I like and a big old rant about what i want and…

Magical Tech Nonsense 101 By Mage. "Sometimes its hard to keep up with things...ya know?" Yes.

I do a whole host of strange things...kinda guy you ask what I do for a living and I can not tell you for sure. but part of what I do is tech related. the other security and privacy related. those skill sets have mated hahaha and well I just…

Bitcoin Cash Adoption. Some Random Thoughts... I was recently asked to basically act as a community manager of sorts again by a firm that shall remain unnamed. it being in the ai and tech space it should not have been a shock when they asked if payment in bch was acceptable. long short we could not agree on a rate be it one payment a year of monthly or weekly just no common ground they wanted to lowball me hard. but it did catch me off guard. got me thinking. as someone that…
@TheMage
Random slight over share time? ok. In the office thinking about a ... well a lot of things. winter looming , just lonely and tired. but also the more "professional" things. got six bits of software not fully sorted out. got two people wasting my time and money I do not have. and more. I do not do normal nine to five now. watched far to many do that and if I had a family of my own? sure I get it. but I do not. sooo I can play the game at a bit wilder pace. I make sure my…

I truly value seeing peoples , places and things from all over. read does this better then any large social. this place is very much a old school melding pot. for a smaller place with a tighter feel its very worldly. another day , another... whatever on this end. beer and some cherry gem dab at 6 something in the morning... not very professional. but truth is I am well no negative rants ill just say if a single soul valued me I would know and everything would not feel like…
@TheMage
15 yr old mage was mostly interested in chasing girls. and was to loyal to even have fun with that lol. I dont know if 15 yr old me would like me. to much didnt work out. we stopped chasing dreams cuz the school said so. only to have everyone leave anyway? what was the point of it all? learning? not remotely worth it. I dont like how things ended up and 15 yr old me was a moron buuut on this I think we would agree. and nothing else. on a positive I guess... still have a cat…
@TheMage
What is love? a strong question with no clear definitive one size fits all answer. as someone that has loved deeply. far to deeply. and now finds himself in a broken state I know love has a cost and time limit. as a kid I wish someone had of explained love costs so much. money most it seems no one stays if you cant pay. and a time limit that if your not able to "man up" no matter how deeply someone says they care they move on. If you do not pay. no one stays. at the end this…
@TheMage
this will be a bit cryptic... not sorry :3 but my path is so confusing I dont DO just one thing... kinda like a class from final fantasy you dont ask a blue mage what he is doing... you just know he is there for a reason. the larger picture. the connections we all share. how life is universal. and how "good" people in most cases are just those able to leverage there positions. it has nothing to do with being good. when you have both the skills and mind for it and then are…

was chatting with sourdough (yes she chats back she is a very chatty cat) and we seen a coyote just strolling on by in the backyard. I am glad I keep sour inside its wild the massive uptick in coyote this year and the harm its done to my outdoor stray friends. its a combination of issues the province is intent on removing all the forests so there go the critters homes and hunting grounds. then there are large numbers of new people and new building going on and far far more…
@TheMage
something I rarely think about till I need to replace it is my winter coat. noticed its showing its age and got thinking when i got it. I was in grade ten I think so early 2000s and it was at a army surplus store during a market day. its a worn out olive green canadian armed forced patrol jacket. so early 80s likely before I was born. when i got it the thing was already a bit worn its had many of heavy years of use with me from long work hours to sleeping outdoors and more.…

Not a particular long post today. just a interesting share and some general thoughts on browsers. first and foremost... browsers. what are they in a none technical way? they serve as your outer ward port. in that...and hear me out. if your home network is your domain , kingdom etc, a router serves therefore as a gatehouse to said domain yes? then browsers are ports like port cities of old. vital gateways to the world beyond. a safe and functional browser that you can at…

@TheMage
once again I will rave like the mad mage I am... we are truly in a fork in the road. humanity I mean. the world. chaos is set to high. sense of community set to low. hope dying on mass. fools following demons off cliffs in the name of profit and those "above" us. its grim sure. very grim. most of all and maybe its selfish to say it but its perhaps most grim for those that would fight hardest if they could only find there footing and feel again. hope can not die with us.…

no massive one today but kinda a mini ramble and a heads up. AI...CODE and silly stuff. as someone that before AI was a very subpar one trick pony with no real path in programming... I SHOULD in theory be super pro ai and all about vibes... I am not.

@TheMage
An unpopular opinion I hold? Money (fiat and crypto) is pure evil. has no value due to its toxic and corrosive and corrupting nature on mankind. Capitalism if truly the "best path we have" means we have failed on every level one can. most of all perhaps claiming to care. money can not live in any human heart it will kill logic , love , hope and more. I FIRMLY feel till the class devides go away humanity has NO hope. and perhaps most spicy of all. work for the simple sake of…

white widow shatter and some tunes before a silly one off task. tired and not remotely on my A game. thats ok. I have been running at less then 50% for almost two decades and still manage to out maneuver and generally keep going... annnd I know I am a tool a fool and worse sooo I assume its a sign of how low the bar really has fallen across the board. onward... may the force walk with us... or I will drag it kicking and screaming. have a great one read fam. tune share?…

deranged high level (in more the one way) thought/theory of the day. if there really is a multiverse of sorts... there in theory is a ver of me that has somehow ended up in places I have thought of... kinda prime evil and prime good? prime evil mage - there is very likely a world out there far darker then ours in which something grim has allowed a new great war. and in that verse? good chance I am dead. small scary chance I am a petty warlord king ruling my home province.…

Orion Browser on Linux. yes this again but ...just rambling and sharing. its now very clear to the few folks that have seen the code behind it kagi had a wild time bringing webkit to linux. its a mess. or so I am told... there are already at least 1 major linux org looking hard at doing something with orion. and many smaller orgs and independents. the groundwork is there. its hard to not wanna do something thats not blink or gecko. yours truly is for sure looking at both…

starting off something light. A Voice Outside The Tent. This happened to me when I was rather young 12 or 13 at a private beach my family once had ties to called "The Duck Pond" which was in fact a large beach into the bay of fundy. near a town called saint martins. the summer that year was a long hot one. I had only recently got outta the hospital after a brush with death. my lungs had given out and I nearly died a few times the winter before. I was camping with my cousin…

A General Ramble. Read Cash is honestly one of the best and most wholesome places online in what I consider late stage internet. the net is nearly worthless so places like this mean a lot. think the name no longer fits well at all. the read is fine. cash? not with the now much weaker surface ties to bch. that said I understand the ease of which going forward keeping the name allows. Streams/Groups are fun to have kinda back in user control. for those interested I have two.…

Never NEVER live on the memory of another. If someone cant love you right then and there. do NOT allow yourself to live on blind hope. time NEVER stops ticking. and people dont mean most of what they say. real love would not let you slip into the darkness without a fight. real love dont tell you about how bad there partner is and how much they wish it was you only to stay loyal cuz... thats whats expected. the very worst exp I have had is loving others and being told I am…

Office Vibes... doing the books and figuring out random junk today. horrible day to be blunt. is what it is I guess. sometimes I miss times that were objectively bad. miss my abuser and her lies. the chaos and life moving around me. no one was loyal or good but at least I was never alone. things felt like it mattered like things could get better. it was the best times even if it was the worst hahaha. last 16 or so years have been a special kinda hell I would not wish even on…

need a good distraction ramble sooo beware. this only somewhat counts in that I have abandoned assorted aspects of the hobby buuut the nature of it means I still have a ton of things... Mage is a Trading Card Game nerd. big time since the early 90s had a crazy uncle that was a first gen magic the gathering player. I own a ton of cards from assorted games some I play most I do not. last game I gave up was magic the gathering. sold a ton of my cards but kept three decks. one…
