πΉ New Video!
Today is the day of Windows 10 reaching End of Support (EOS)! And y'know what that means, a new Lynxmic Video, to keep with the tradition!

For sure i'm expecting quite a lot of my subscription feed to be filled with windows 10 eos videos tomorrow
Just a day left

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
Windows DreamScene is back! Hidden in the latest Windows 11 Dev/Beta build (26x20.6690) is built in support for setting video files like .mp4 as your desktop background:

Felt like doing another filler, so here is Android in weird screen resolutions, from the smallest to the biggest max allowed

Davinci resolve render queue. 34% done with rendering, 6 min remaining

Hint: you probably already know by now
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

the vid never actually happened although the terrain was already prepared, and now I dont really wanna install it anymore
ssd reviving itself after 2 years+ on my g50 is still such a fucking blow to me. no way it's been 4 years (and the ssd is still working to this day too!)
coincidentally all of this also happened around my birthday, so ig that's a free birthday gift for me lmao

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

23.08.2025 20:54 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0The 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
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
