Just picked up a severe headache from listening to my own voice for several hours.
“Oh but being homosexual isn’t natural!”
“Oh but being transgender isn’t natural!”
Look around. Look at our world. Is ANY of this natural? Were we supposed to acquire such advanced knowledge about our world? Build cities and supporting infrastructure? Develop breakthroughs in medical technology to massively increase our lifespans? Engineer new methods of transport, energy production and agriculture? Establish (admittedly flawed, some more than others) collective bodies that manage critical aspects of their country and address major issues? Research whatever is happening beyond our planet and even send lifeforms to our natural satellite, while bringing them back alive?
Is it natural for me to have just replaced your bloodstream with a blend of Pepsi, bromine, sulfuric acid and kerosene while you weren’t listening?

Daily Reminder: Fuck the Lunarians (they jacked up video game prices)
Had another weird dream a couple nights ago.
The exact details are blurry (go figure), but in simple terms, everyone on the internet was trying to cancel Shotguns. As in, the firearm. No matter what social media platform I went on, or whatever online game I played, all anyone ever mentioned was “Shotguns are useless, many other guns do the same thing but way better”, “Wake up, people. Shotguns have no purpose, period.”, “Do yourself a favour and get a real gun.”, “What’s the worst type of gun and why is it a shotgun?”
I don’t know about you, but I think they might’ve hated shotguns.
When you’ve lived as long as I have, you’ll be at least 3 years old.

I don’t know why but I’m cramming random drawings into my math book. Right below Trigonometry, Polynomials and Circular Functions you’ll find smug-faced Touhou girls with guns and incorrect body proportions.
The Minecraft movie isn’t real, do not fall for the propaganda and “influencers”. Minecraft Steve has been in hiding since 2019 following the ongoing civil war, which the media has been silencing so politicians can hide the truth. They’re getting desperate, and this live-action film adaptation is yet another distraction. Where is Minecraft Steve? We don’t know for sure, but everyone claiming to be him is a paid actor, an unpaid actor, or both. Wake up, sheeple. Is that really the Minecraft Steve you know and love, serving as your avatar in your beloved Minecraft world? Why is Jack Black playing Minecraft Steve? If Minecraft Steve was still here, and we weren’t waging pointless internet wars, Minecraft Steve would be ready and willing to act in the latest and greatest video game to film adaptation ever. But no, the media and the world have fabricated wars and forced us to pick sides. The Minecraft movie isn’t a Minecraft movie, it’s a red herring. It’s so we don’t find out the truth.
We salute you, Jeff. Thank you for your service.

Corkboard and ChanSpec Ceasing Operation
I am sad to announce that Corkboard and ChanSpec are ceasing operation.
Jeff, the budget ASUS laptop I've been using since ~2018 who is hosting Corkboard and ChanSpec, is currently in poor condition. There are cases where it shuts down all by itself, which is annoying since I had to restart it back every time, which is infeasible since I am currently living in my boarding house, around 100 kilometers driving from home (and I had to use the train to get there).
Recovery of all the data from Jeff to my new laptop John is still far from done, but it is already adequate for my purposes. Projects that I am "actively" working on like tbgclient-rewritten, Flipbit, etc. have been backed up to John and development of them will continue as usual (well, under Windows at least, which is less nice). Regarding the data collected by ChanSpec, I will publish the log data to File Garden and Google Drive, along with the source code (again), if the time is possible.
Currently I have no plans to bring back both Corkboard and ChanSpec to John or other computers. I have no resources to run these bots, especially ones that would satisfy my parents. Besides, if Jeff’s condition gets worse, I can't remotely turn on Jeff from my boarding house (there's the brother option, but I'm sure he'll get bored of it fast). The Mineral Fish community is well inactive enough anyway.
Back when I just bought John, I envisioned Jeff to be my little server, especially since I had a Cloudflare Tunnels set up on it. But seeing its condition now, I can't trust it to handle that job. I might as well retire Jeff instead. Now, that's not to say that Jeff is dead. Currently Jeff still works, and it still boots Ubuntu/Arch. However, it can't be left unattended, which makes it unsuitable for my use case. That's why I said backup is still possible, even with Jeff's potentially thinning lifespan.
Maybe someday we will get Jeff fixed. At the day we get it fixed though, my parents would probably insist me to pass it over to someone else, since I don't really need a second laptop. Can’t guarantee it though. And while I think having two laptops is nice, I'd rather delegate that task to something else. Something more...fruity, perhaps? Ah, that's merely my wishful thinking.
You've served your job well, Jeff.
