How do you make your devices more connected? Are there any sushis with home media server set up? How would you make it, how does the usual use case look like? Do you have any uncommon devices or cool software to support your work, gaming or anime consumption?

I do this, but using my phone. All my devices are logged into Discord, so I can just send any files to my alt account and then download it from the text history from the other device.

WireGuard, ssh, Jellyfin.
>How would you make it,
https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/installation/
>how does the usual use case look like?
the usual pattern is to buy a seedbox and run Jellyfin on it such that you can torrent a movie and directly stream from it.
>Do you have any uncommon devices or cool software to support your work, gaming or anime consumption?
I'm not sure about uncommon but I use a Steam Deck as a Jellyfin receiver, aside from it's regular duties.

I had an HTPC with Plex in like 2014 and used it to watch anime from my couch. It was kind of a pain in the butt to get it displaying things right sometimes though, especially when it came to automatically getting thumbnails and titles.

Touhou OST apocalypse Anonymous 05/18/25 (Sun) 13:32:24 No.8155 [Reply]

I believe we are on the brink of facing off against a massive purge of the unofficial Touhou OST uploads.

I have been seeing more and more copyright claims these days.

This Moriya thread: https://moriyashrine.org/threads/touhou-20-osts-possibly-being-removed-from-youtube.2505/

The TOUHOUMUSIC subreddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOUHOUMUSIC/

And this site: https://nautilus.nekoweb.org/en/writing/touhou-death/touhou-death

Are so far the best sources of information of what is getting taken down.
I think we can confirm that something very strange is happening with the news that PC98 songs are getting wiped off SoundCloud.
See: https://www.reddit.com/r/TOUHOUMUSIC/comments/1kp6efv/even_pc98_got_copyright_struck_come_on/

All I can say, WTF is happening. I hope the more historic uploads of the OST don't get wiped…

>All of these elements–the posing, the expressions, the environments–come together to create a very distinctive atmosphere that permeates throughout Takamichi Love Works. It’s an atmosphere that puts you right back in the midst of youth; a celebration of the lives of young, active, and attractive girls.

If you're gonna make an imageboard, make sure you don't have ads and make sure you have a strong CSAM filter as well as racebait filter. For any soyjak party spammers or spammers in general, make a filter for that too.
Remembered that a Kiwi user told us a small powerlevel about how he used to run an obscure imageboard and despite it being so obscure and that he didn't shill it anywhere but his own site, CSAM ads/websites kept popping up (they dont have explicit images, just some simple drawings like silhouettes)
Imageboards especially dead ones have a very serious CSAM spam problem. I don't know who or what is doing this but I'll assume: Some form of web crawler/bot that detects imageboards and spams it, elaborate trolling groups on Discord or Telegram, or third worlders since in some of 3rd world countries don't decriminalize possession and distribution of it (including real and fictional)
Just some advice and theories about the whole problem with imageboards

If you don't want CP spam just host a 2ch style textboard instead. Make it private and recruit a bunch of friends or people you trust to test it out.

If you are that "idiot" and do not mind there are several higher mods over you, try endchan.net, you can create a board at there without any cost.

What're your favorite books?

I could perhaps be called an artsy snob for this, but one of my absolute favorite novels is House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski. I've always found the concept of labyrinths to be fascinating, as well as that of the inherent uncertainty in the image of reality presented to us by our sensory perception. This book features those two themes quite prominently, and explores them to a depth I've not seen in any other books I've yet read.

This next one might also reflect questionably on my character, but nonetheless I greatly enjoyed American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis. I've struggled a lot with recurrent depersonalization, feelings of dread, and a general impression of isolation from those around me. Since the book addresses all of that, it resonated with me in that regard–though, not so much with some of the other stuff it describes.

I also love tons of H. P. Lovecraft's and Jorge Luis Borges's work, but those are predominantly short stories, not novels.

This thread made me realize I barely read any non-fiction besides manga. I love Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, Ihara Saikaku's books. Jin Ping Mei, Dream of a Red Bedchamber and Journey to the West are great too. Carnal Prayer Mat is just good nice porn. I've read al-Suyuti's porn and that's good too. The poems of Sadi, Hafez, and Bedil are amazing. The Old Testament and the Quran are nice, especially the final surahs at the end which have a beautiful flow to them. I'd recommend Kuwaidan for anyone who hasn't read it yet.

When it comes to dense stuff, I like post-secular and post-development stuff and Middle Eastern/Asian philosophy.

Anonymous 03/16/25 (Sun) 09:52:13 No.1412

Not a novel but an anthology. I recently read The Apex Books of World SF, vol II, and some of the stories were fascinating. While a few were betrayed by translation, I feel, or just generally weak, there were some genuinely beautiful and haunting pieces too. I'm definitely interested in a lot more African science fiction now because of it.

Other than that, you can practice doing many of the contests, which should provide some more experience with harder tasks.

My family seems to love cramming as many holiday parties as possible into spring, so I'll be gone Saturday at a Mother's Day dinner(even though Mother's Day is SUNDAY). They're Catholics so I guess they have to clear Sunday for mass. Anyway that means I won't be there, and I have no way to be there without pissing off my family. I'd really rather just be watching anime with y'all. I've been depressed all week thinking about this.

Online friends Anonymous 04/14/18 (Sat) 00:24:53 No.3302 [Reply][Last 50 Posts]

This thread isn't meant to be all about me, even if my writing makes it seem like it, it can be anything to do with friends.

Do you have any online friends sushi? How did you get them? What do you like to do with them?

I have a problem making online friends, because all the sites I go on are sushi rollymous. I have tried a few forums, but I can never commit to them, and they're usually pretty bad anyway. I dont have time for IRC, and I always make a big old booby of myself in live conversation. Do you think it's possible for me to make online friends, or should I stick to being by myself for the moment?

Online friends aren't real friends at least in a sense that you don't have "real" connections with them but I could agree that with modern online communication means you probably could make it close to real and another thing would be that it's totally possible to bring that connection to IRL and make it totally and completely "real" lol
But online connection alone is IMO insufficient for a proper "friendship". Like, you can't feel emotions in texts (not all of them), voice/video calls might be too few or impossible, the relationship is essentially "riskless" - you can drop another person at a moment's notice without anybody IRL even knowing that. I suppose it's what makes it more attractive and "convenient" that way but I dunno, I think real relationships require real bravery and real sacrifices too.
Overall I concur that they could be very close regarding "realness" but I still separate the two.

just don't be a sociopath and this stops being an issue

What do you consider an online friend? One you meet online first then in person? One that is too far away to meet in person easily? I think all of the friends I've made since university have been from the internet or an internet meetup.

Somebody you almost exclusively interact with and met through the internet is my understanding. If you start seeing eachother in person it's just a regular friend you happened to have met online. If it's just once a year or something I'd still regard it as an online friend you meet up with sometimes.
If you got to know eachother IRL, talk online and don't meet up much anymore it's just keeping in touch with a regular friend.

I feel certain an old friend of mine posted in this very thread. It makes my heart ache, but it is what it is.
