Other than weird camera angles, zooming into pixels and the garbage screen placement I think the setlist was alright. I think it'd fit an audience who doesn't know her and utsuP was a good pick too. Cheers to those in the audience who brought a lot of enthusiasm and a bit of lightstick action going. Not the best... or good way anyways, to show what she is about to those who never seen her. Something like that might be somehow forgiven by those who know what the average concert looks like but for newcomers is just not a great experience.

Italian here (Veneto) How do you say it in your dialect? The ball bearing one. I really can't translate it myself into something that could make sense to me.

Can't wait to see what he made for us this time. It's also been a while since Deco27 released something as well. Hope he will too release something in the upcoming weeks.

Same thought. I just said to people close to me that I don't want gifts neither for christmas nor for my birthday and I'll never want them. As a kid it makes sense, getting something you really want from someone else because you don't really have a serious job or money at all so it's one of the few chances to get something. Now if I want something I just buy it, otherwise I just don't want it. And if I can't buy it because it's expensive why would I want someone else to spend that kind of money? Plus all that thinking about what would be a good gift. And if it's about "showing you care about me" then really, just say merry christmas or happy birthday.

Kind of a late post since two of this month's songs were already released. At the start of the month I was pretty hyped about Giga and seems like we'll be getting it soon enough. Maybe they started a bit too strong including Deco*27, MitchieM and PinocchioP all in the same month but that's just my personal taste. Any other artists you're looking forward to in these total 18 songs?

[TLDR further down]

I woke up at 1am to catch both digital stars and the concert and I sadly have to say I could have just slept. Digital stars was fine, I didn't come for that but still, good artists so I had a good time but the concert itself... Luckily I've read in other posts that I wasn't the only one who thought this: it was fine. Out of the songs played only one was actually popular (excluding toy box and plaything which were made for this event) and I fully enjoyed, the other ones were by artists I've never heard of and didn't really quite catch my interest (I'm not saying lesser known songs are bad, not at all, but there is a reason why popular ones are popular). When I watched this year's magical Mirai stream there were also songs like that but I've actually found a couple I've liked and added to my Spotify together with many others I already knew and was excited about. As for the quality, I liked the stage but when the camera zoomed into the live band, the members had a pretty choppy frame rate. On YouTube it was streamed only up to 720p, on Twitch it was 1080p but (not sure if it was my connection but at 3am who is using the internet, plus never had this issue) the bitrate must have been kinda low. Dark scenes, fireworks and confetti made it possible to pretty much count the pixels. And to top it off, it felt more like a compilation of songs than a concert. It was like song-black screen-song with Miku talking once in a while with very long pauses of silence (totally understandable, there is no crowd to cheer and make some background noise but at least putting some background music could have helped)


So in a nutshell, it's Miku so I can't be really disappointed but I didn't really feel the need to save the footage like I did for Magical Mirai even though I've appeared in the end credits which was cool. I'd say, if you want a concert go for a live one even if it's streamed online. If you want to see animations than just go for YouTube. It was a cool idea during the pandemic (not that I've seen it but it was a thoughtful choice) but this year it felt kinda wasted in my opinion. Glad to see that many enjoyed it really much though. Maybe I just had too high expectations

Can't wait for it. I didn't see the past events during the pandemic so I have no idea how an event like this will turn out online. Kinda happy that from 2024 it will be back irl but this is a good option too for those who can't afford or just don't want to travel a lot to see the live concerts.

This. I remember that one video by LTT where he tried searching for a flight and he got a way higher price on the standard browser compared to the one with no personal accounts/cookies.

If I use search engines, be it to find opinions on a topic or as you said an insurance, I want those sorted by factors like the date it's been created and maybe the reputability of the source. Not what the algorithm thinks I want to see or I should see in "its" opinion.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Personally I feel more easy minded because I know that whatever I do online leaves as little trace as usual. If I go out by myself say for a drive and I get back home I expect no one to ever know that I went away and where unless I decide to say so. Same goes for online activity. I would expect nothing to be tied to me and whatever I do to go unnoticed unless for some reason I agree with sharing such data. It's often said though that with privacy comes less convenience and that is true: not having app features ready before you even ask or easily paying or doing other things online so I see how wanting convenience over privacy can be preferable. For me though, the point I made in the beginning is stronger and motivates me.

Also on a side note I watched a video from Louis Rossman where he talked about some kind of police radio going stolen and the authorities went ask google for people in that area that searched that specific model online to help track that person down so... yeah, I'm already not a fan of leaving traces I don't want to leave. Let alone those that might make the authorities mistake me for a criminal.

Personally I'm trying to be as offline and anonimous as possible. I'm moving away from cloud storage and if a service can be used with a client without an account where I can locally save and back up things I like then I'm using that. The biggest challenge right now is youtube as a platform with that huge of a content and a decent algorithm for suggestions is yet to be created.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 10 months ago

Wow this paperback thing is a cool idea. I was looking to not share anything but I'm sure I can apply it to other cases.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 10 months ago

Good point, I am in fact nothing compared whoever celebrity you might think of. In my case though the idea would be of some family member or friend unlocking any device (say for something like looking for a picture together or whatever file they might need) and casually stumbling on something I didn't want share. I want to have that kind of control where if I shared something with someone it's because I wanted to, everything else nobody knows about should stay that way. I mean, it's not like I'm hiding nuke codes or bigtiddygothgf.jpg but still, if I didn't tell you then you shouldn't know.

Lastly, yeah I'm dead so it's not my problem but people will remember me for a little while more so might as well think of that too.

Lately I started including what happens to my data in case I die unexpectedly in my threat model. As of now I'd like for everything to stay private. All my accounts have a strong password that I store on a keepass datbase that I store only on encrypted devices which themselves are protected only by PIN or Password with no biometrics (I use the pin only on my phone which is set up to get wiped after 20 failed unlock attempts to mitigate bruteforce attacks). As for what I post online, I keep it to a minimum and nothing really personal, preferring only viewing content through clients with no account when possible. I know some services allow to set up what happens after a certain period of inactivity but I was wondering if you guys can suggest anything else. Maybe some program that wipes the computer's drive after a period of inactivity? Some other tools or some tips I didn't consider?

I have around 5k€ left to pay for my car, for the rest I just spend what I know I can. I have a credit card but I just keep it there for emergencies or to pay in installments when the seller doesn't allow it, everything else goes to the debit card.

Edit: for context since I just read "in the US", I'm italian. My school was 150€/year so I saved myself the school debt thing.

I mean, the PinePhone has a switch to change the audio jack from audio into some kind of data transfer protocol. I guess someone could make it work.

It's been announced a while ago. Many locations seem sold out (unless some seats were reserved for 22nd general sale). I was hoping for a European one but since it's the 10th anniversary and it would have been my first Miku live concert I'm just gonna book a flight. What about you guys?

As advertised on the official twitter page Tickets for the live show cost 2500¥ (17€). The performance will also be available as an archived video (dunno if that one's gonna be free in its entirety but some clips will for sure be uploaded on YT). Can't wait for it.

Now I just wonder how much it will cost. My guess is around 300€ but I hope it will actually be on the 200-250 range. How much do you guys think it's worth? Anyone else will be interested in it as well?

I usually edit the file I want then save it on an external drive and proceed to perform a clean install of the OS
