tfw you consider 2021 the most inactive year for your channel (which it was either way for Lynxmic!) just to then find out that you actually made 3 streams in a month that year

πŸ“Ή New Video!

This one used to be a personal channel video, but i decided to have it become a Lynxmic video after all, since I do kinda wanna focus the personal one into smth else in the future and this was the only ""tech"" video that was still there soooo~

I've already talked on my blog last year abt how kdenlive didn't feel like it was "for me" but overtime it has improved, plus I've been still occasionally using kdenlive and so learned some more in the process

so its worth a try to actually edit a proper video w/ it again :D

I actually just started a separate video editing this (actually a part of it) in Kdenlive as someone whos been using Resolve

The goal is to get the video as close as possible to the original, and maybe add additional editing

Not a lynxmic video this time though, its gonna be a personal channel vid

OLED has been becoming more and more common in new devices, doesnt it?

Or at least all new tech that appeared in my home so far this year

next is wiping the ssd and putting in something else
might go with either debian trixie or windows ltsc, probably debian
i just dont know precisely how much my irl uncertainty will last, theres a high possibility it will take even 6+ mnths so it might be a good idea to try new things in the meantime

most of my local archive previously stored on the hp laptop has finally been (temporarily) moved into usb flash drives (most of it) and sd cards

i thought there would've been more and more stuff having been accumulated over the past 2 yrs with this archive storage, surprised it's not waaay too much

It's now possible to uninstall Microsoft Edge in Windows 10/11 IoT Enterprise LTSC without having to set the region to the EU!

I just wanna try keep in an all-retro vibe, and if I need the modern web I could just deal with the pain thats called supermium ("pain" bcs it uses quite a lot of resources)

fun fact: the "Vista on 18yo laptop" video was planned to have a either a separate segment or sequel installing the extended kernel just to be able to run modern programs

the vid never actually happened although the terrain was already prepared, and now I dont really wanna install it anymore

Update: im just gonna cancel the stream entirely

Im srry but i-i just dont feel like it

Most likely I'll only strive to get the Windows 10 video up on time at least, and then what is next remains to be seen

Oh one more thing I'd like to add, I haven't necessarily been mentally stable these past few months, various irl events and circumstances have been putting a toll on my mental health and I dont really expect things to improve anytime soon

won't really have much time for the next 2 weeks due to The Usual Events, once they pass i will begin actually working on the lynxmic videos planned for fall (at least 2, maybe 3 with the filler initially planned this month, or even 4 or more if anything notable happens during this time, who knows)

The idea was at least another stream during the summer, and in the weekend too where there is more audience

...and right now it is still summer :) (even though some ppl worldwide already started school, most only start in september)

I could still go live though, which I probably should do instead as there are more ideas for streams

I couldn't find the time 2 weeks ago, nor a week ago, but i might finally go live tomorrow just so there's filler content

if it wasn't that it's getting late, I would have liked to do it today

23.08.2025 20:54 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Another update: I've came up with one for a filler like i think a week ago but it's still been in preparatory phase. I think i might just cancel it or maybe keep it for later since it's still cool stuff (no promises here)

there are only finite ideas nowadays and my motivation and passion is low :(

My Vanillo channel, with a Verified Badge and a handle

[2/2] with recent internet events i think vanillo might be on the table again as one of the few reasonable video sharing sites out there

my channel there has also recently got the verified badge so yay~

would recommend giving vanillo a try, they're pretty welcoming and cozy~

[1/2] if anyone even remembers, there used to be a vanillo mirror of the lynxmic yt channel at vanillo.tv/u/Lynxmic (which i've since stopped posting on due to me often forgetting to also upload there)

it has still been there this whole time so i thought i might as well do a shameless plug
