<2022-10-21T15:27:49.000Z> look@muh.wang: I actually have a BuyVM server with what you're looking for + 3 TB in slabs, but I guess there is no way to transfer it to you :D
<2022-10-21T15:28:21.000Z> chudbere: lmao, yeah probably not
<2022-10-21T15:29:13.000Z> chudbere: I suppose I will just wait until the 1st of the month and we will limp along until then
<2022-10-21T15:30:21.000Z> look@muh.wang: I can give you the access stuff, if you want. But it's not registered to a "real" person, so I don't know if that's a problem. I just bought it with Monero. I ran an instance on it, but only 3 people used it, so it was a bit overkill :D
<2022-10-21T15:31:00.000Z> look@muh.wang: BuyVM kind of sucks since they have stock so rarely.
<2022-10-21T15:31:56.000Z> look@muh.wang: If you need references that I'm not some glowie, I can probably get you some.
<2022-10-21T15:32:07.000Z> chudbere: I appreciate the offer but I would want to have it all under the same account I already have set up there
<2022-10-21T15:32:29.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yeah, I understand. No worries :)
<2022-10-21T15:32:54.000Z> chudbere: Thank you so much though
<2022-10-21T15:33:59.000Z> chudbere: I may look into alternate hosts
<2022-10-21T15:34:22.000Z> chudbere: I picked BuyVM because it was recommended on the Soapbox website as supporting free speech
<2022-10-21T15:35:08.000Z> look@muh.wang: BuyVM is great, but they also have issues. The storage slabs actually disconnected themselves on their own twice and fucked the whole instance both times.
<2022-10-21T15:35:21.000Z> chudbere: oof
<2022-10-21T15:36:21.000Z> look@muh.wang: If Chudbuds grows enough, you might have to look into a dedicated hosting. I don't think BuyVM has any.
<2022-10-21T15:36:42.000Z> chudbere: it's already grown much more than I imagined
<2022-10-21T15:36:46.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh, and remember to push donations hard. Don't fall into the trap that graf did, where you outpace your financing.
<2022-10-21T15:36:47.000Z> chudbere: 800 people in a month
<2022-10-21T15:37:16.000Z> chudbere: yeah right now I have donations running through my streamlabs tip thing for twitch, which isn't ideal
<2022-10-21T15:37:26.000Z> chudbere: hoping to deploy fosspay if I can figure it out
<2022-10-21T15:37:28.000Z> look@muh.wang: Merch, donations, whatever, grift hard and often :D
<2022-10-21T15:37:41.000Z> chudbere: I have like...next to no linux experience
<2022-10-21T15:37:54.000Z> chudbere: so learning how to do all of this from scratch has been an adventure
<2022-10-21T15:38:16.000Z> chudbere: my project today is trying to set up a protonmail bridge so I can finally get our internal mailer working
<2022-10-21T15:38:48.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yeah, it can't be fun to learn on the fly, but I guess it's motivating :D
<2022-10-21T15:39:21.000Z> chudbere: yeah especially when I usually don't have like, a few hours straight to sit at my computer and hammer it out
<2022-10-21T15:39:22.000Z> look@muh.wang: If you need help with anything, let me know. Though we'd have to use something else than fedi DMs :D
<2022-10-21T15:39:43.000Z> chudbere: yeah the insecurity of the chats here is a little concerning to say the least
<2022-10-21T15:40:05.000Z> chudbere: I have guilded (my preferred way of chatting) and also a discord sock account
<2022-10-21T15:40:08.000Z> look@muh.wang: Do you run a Matrix server for Chudbuds?
<2022-10-21T15:40:21.000Z> chudbere: not yet, that's on the list as a potential project though
<2022-10-21T15:40:32.000Z> chudbere: along with an alternative pleroma front-end
<2022-10-21T15:40:46.000Z> look@muh.wang: I would recommend Matrix. It seems to be what people are migrating towards.
<2022-10-21T15:41:23.000Z> look@muh.wang: Have you figured out Monero yet?
<2022-10-21T15:42:03.000Z> chudbere: that's a crypto, right?
<2022-10-21T15:42:27.000Z> look@muh.wang: People will want to donate in crypto, so it's good to get that up and running. Monero is the privacy-focused one, so a lot of people like that.
<2022-10-21T15:42:48.000Z> chudbere: https://chudbuds.lol/donate/crypto
<2022-10-21T15:43:12.000Z> chudbere: I don't have monero on the list but I can look at adding it to my exodus wallet
<2022-10-21T15:43:43.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yes, definitely do that.
<2022-10-21T15:45:31.000Z> chudbere: thankfully babies are being good this morning so I'm actually able to get some stuff done right now
<2022-10-21T15:45:54.000Z> look@muh.wang: :D
<2022-10-21T15:46:58.000Z> look@muh.wang: Well, let me know if you need help with something.
<2022-10-21T15:47:41.000Z> look@muh.wang: And I can get people to vouch for me.
<2022-10-21T15:47:59.000Z> chudbere: added monero :)
<2022-10-21T15:48:03.000Z> look@muh.wang: I know you're currently just talking to a random person with a silly online name :D
<2022-10-21T15:48:09.000Z> chudbere: i sure will lol
<2022-10-21T15:48:26.000Z> look@muh.wang: Good job on the Monero.
<2022-10-21T15:48:49.000Z> chudbere: i'm probably a bit more trusting than I should be with online people in general but if we work on anything where I think I need some creds from you I'll be sure to tell you :)
<2022-10-21T15:50:44.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yes, definitely. I'd be worried otherwise :D
<2022-10-21T15:51:25.000Z> chudbere: similarly if you need any info from me, just ask
<2022-10-21T15:51:42.000Z> chudbere: My husband and I are already pretty public-facing with me streaming and his comic
<2022-10-21T15:52:19.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ah. Honestly, I have no idea who you are, but I'm always happy to help the fedi grow :D
<2022-10-21T15:52:59.000Z> chudbere: Yeah I think the concept is fantastic, it's the first "new" thing on the internet I've been this jazzed about in a long time
<2022-10-21T15:54:03.000Z> look@muh.wang: It's the internet from the early days; people self-hosting, learning to do things themselves, etc. The internet is no longer "grug push button", which it was never meant to be.
<2022-10-21T15:55:10.000Z> chudbere: yeah exactly, it reminds me of the "good ol days"
<2022-10-21T15:57:51.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh, one more thing, since you're using BuyVM, you might consider getting the storage slabs, if you don't already. They are super cheap. You can use them to host attachments, images, videos, etc. That way your main storage won't be consumed by them. I don't know if you have something like already set up, but I thought I'd mention it.
<2022-10-21T15:58:17.000Z> chudbere: No, I don't have any slabs but I saw they are very cheap
<2022-10-21T15:58:52.000Z> chudbere: If I can manage to upgrade our server on the 1st I will add a couple of those and then may ask help on figuring out how to partition media over to those
<2022-10-21T15:59:06.000Z> look@muh.wang: The main thing to note when buying them is that they have to be at the same server site as the VPS you want to attach them to. I made the mistake of buying a slab in Nevada, even though my VPS was in NY :D
<2022-10-21T15:59:28.000Z> chudbere: Our is in vegas
<2022-10-21T16:00:57.000Z> look@muh.wang: You can use something called logical volumes to add and subtract slabs from use, it's very convenient, but it requires some technical know-how to set up. We can discuss it if and when the time comes through some non-DM method.
<2022-10-21T16:01:25.000Z> look@muh.wang: That is, you can "join" three terabyte slabs into one logical volume.
<2022-10-21T16:01:31.000Z> look@muh.wang: For example.
<2022-10-21T16:02:01.000Z> look@muh.wang: And you can then add new slabs, when needed, without needing any downtime or anything.
<2022-10-21T16:02:31.000Z> chudbere: okay that sounds good, thank you!
<2022-10-21T16:06:28.000Z> look@muh.wang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ap-S2faYjbAhttps://linuxhandbook.com/lvm-guide/The above link is to an overview video of the concept and the bottom link is to technical details. In case you need them at some point.
<2022-10-21T16:07:56.000Z> chudbere: great, that will be helpful
<2022-10-21T16:48:35.000Z> look@muh.wang: I noticed that the Chudbuds certificate is LetsEncrypt, so Chudbuds is probably running without Cloudflare. If that is the case, BuyVM has an option for a DDoS-protected IP address. I think it's $3 per month. If you don't have any DDoS solution in place, that might be a good choice.
<2022-10-21T16:49:01.000Z> chudbere: I actually have one of those
<2022-10-21T16:49:10.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ah, great :)
<2022-10-21T16:49:24.000Z> chudbere: But I've been unsure if I need to do something else to utilize it
<2022-10-21T16:49:42.000Z> chudbere: Like our A records in DNS are pointed at the base IP
<2022-10-21T16:50:10.000Z> look@muh.wang: You need to point to the DDoS-protected IP in the firewall. Hold on, let me see.
<2022-10-21T16:51:50.000Z> look@muh.wang: In the stallion management panel, in the slice options, there is networking. There you should see two IPs, one "normal" and one "DDoS Protected". The DDoS one is the one you should route traffic to.
<2022-10-21T16:52:21.000Z> chudbere: Okay so I need to change our A records at my registrar, correct
<2022-10-21T16:52:33.000Z> look@muh.wang: You can also set firewall options in the settings tab for the DDoS protected IP.
<2022-10-21T16:52:38.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yes on the A record.
<2022-10-21T16:53:31.000Z> chudbere:  I was concerned about doing that because when I tried going directly to the protected IP in a browser it does not pull chudbuds up
<2022-10-21T16:53:57.000Z> look@muh.wang: Are you using Nginx?
<2022-10-21T16:54:06.000Z> chudbere: Yep
<2022-10-21T16:54:19.000Z> look@muh.wang: Let me check...
<2022-10-21T16:54:25.000Z> chudbere: One sec feeding a baby I will get the IP address
<2022-10-21T16:56:24.000Z> look@muh.wang: I'm assuming the reason why you can't access chudbuds directly through the IP is that Nginx does reverse proxying on the backend. That is, if you go to chudbuds.lol, nginx knows what to do with your request, but if you go to the IP, nginx has no idea what to do with your request.
<2022-10-21T16:57:05.000Z> look@muh.wang: You could probably add the IP to nginx, but I don't use nginx personally, so I can't give advice on it with confidence.
<2022-10-21T16:57:15.000Z> chudbere: i'm wondering if I need to change the primary IP here first
<2022-10-21T16:57:34.000Z> chudbere: in that "main ip address" dropdown
<2022-10-21T16:57:50.000Z> look@muh.wang: It "should" work even without that.
<2022-10-21T16:57:59.000Z> chudbere: ok
<2022-10-21T16:57:59.000Z> look@muh.wang: I think it's just nginx.
<2022-10-21T16:58:26.000Z> look@muh.wang: And delete the image. Just to be safe :D
<2022-10-21T16:58:39.000Z> chudbere: :)
<2022-10-21T16:58:44.000Z> look@muh.wang: It has the "normal" IP, which can be used to DDoS your server.
<2022-10-21T16:59:12.000Z> look@muh.wang: Well, I guess your normal IP is already in the open. But once you have the DDoS IP up, you can block the normal IP.
<2022-10-21T17:01:39.000Z> chudbere: okay. I've sent a ticket to BuyVM just to ask what the best process for enabling it is so I don't mess anything up
<2022-10-21T17:02:02.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yeah, it's best to be safe.
<2022-10-21T17:02:30.000Z> look@muh.wang: It's good you're not using Cloudflare. They're the man-in-the-middle of the internet, so it's completely unsafe for users to have it.
<2022-10-21T17:03:29.000Z> chudbere: i would never use them after what they did to KF
<2022-10-21T17:04:10.000Z> chudbere: not just dropping their protection that is one thing, but actually using their DNS monopoly to hijack the domain and point it to a splash page of their own choosing
<2022-10-21T17:04:58.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh yeah, that was fucked up.
<2022-10-21T17:05:39.000Z> chudbere: like i get it if you are using someone as your hosting and they suspend you and put up a suspension page
<2022-10-21T17:06:14.000Z> chudbere: but KF didn't use them for hosting, Cloudflare literally hijacked their domain name to display whatever the fuck they wanted temporarily
<2022-10-21T17:06:58.000Z> look@muh.wang: I'm not sure that's even legal. Or at least it shouldn't be.
<2022-10-21T17:07:24.000Z> chudbere: it's unprecedented
<2022-10-21T17:07:37.000Z> chudbere: i don't think I've ever heard of a DNS provider doing something like that
<2022-10-21T17:07:48.000Z> look@muh.wang: Also, Cloudflare moves MASSIVE amounts of traffic for free. That's suspicious as fuck. If you're not paying, you're the product. So who are we the products for with Cloudflare?
<2022-10-21T17:08:20.000Z> chudbere: i'm sure they probably sell traffic information to data mining companies
<2022-10-21T17:10:10.000Z> look@muh.wang: They also inject JavaScript into websites. It would be very easy for them to query computer info to essentially reveal your info on ALL websites that use Cloudflare. No matter how secure your system or the server is, Cloudflare would always be there to catch your info and track you.
<2022-10-21T17:10:33.000Z> look@muh.wang: Sorry for the rant :D
<2022-10-21T17:10:41.000Z> chudbere: lol no problem
<2022-10-21T17:11:09.000Z> chudbere: i'm just fending a baby away from my keyboard and trying to read how to install a bridge for protonmail on our server
<2022-10-21T17:11:24.000Z> chudbere: so i can use protonmail SMTP as our soapbox mailer
<2022-10-21T17:12:20.000Z> look@muh.wang: I've never used emails on my instances, since they're mostly for shitposting.
<2022-10-21T17:13:27.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh, I have to correct myself. I did set it up for one. But it was through a domain host, so it was probably easier then figuring out Protonmail.
<2022-10-21T17:13:50.000Z> look@muh.wang: But if you run into something you can't get past, let me know and I'll look at the documentation.
<2022-10-21T17:15:36.000Z> chudbere: sounds good thank you
<2022-10-21T17:37:29.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ok, sorry for the messages, but I got into "fix problems" state of mind and I have trouble turning it off. Anyway, if you're looking to add more functionality, like a Matrix server, get a new cheap VPS and do a A name entry that points to that VPS, instead of messing with the VPS that has the chudbuds instance. That will also allow you to experiment more freely, without fear of messing up chudbuds.
<2022-10-21T17:37:51.000Z> look@muh.wang: Sorry if you already knew that :D
<2022-10-21T17:38:17.000Z> look@muh.wang: But in general, since you're new to all this, creating a second VPS with Matrix or whatever would allow you to mess around more and learn.
<2022-10-21T17:38:35.000Z> chudbere: I was actually thinking of doing that, I have hosting on godaddy i'm not using for anything except my husband's comic, or I could go with another provider
<2022-10-21T17:38:54.000Z> chudbere: and I also own the domain chudbuds.com I can use for parallel stuff 
<2022-10-21T17:39:20.000Z> look@muh.wang: Definitely do that. You'll get more confidence in what you're doing when you've already done it on a less valuable VPS.
<2022-10-21T17:39:54.000Z> chudbere: https://gist.github.com/githubcom13/2f30f46cd5273db2453a6e7fdb3c422b
<2022-10-21T17:40:03.000Z> chudbere: this is the protonmail bridge thing I'm looking at
<2022-10-21T17:40:17.000Z> chudbere: I was able to get the package downloaded but the commands that start rpm don't work
<2022-10-21T17:40:41.000Z> chudbere: i get bash: rpm command not found
<2022-10-21T17:42:07.000Z> look@muh.wang: RPM is a Red Hat installer. It's not installed on Debian or Ubuntu, you have to install it separately.
<2022-10-21T17:42:13.000Z> look@muh.wang: But, hold on.
<2022-10-21T17:42:59.000Z> look@muh.wang: I have no idea why they are using RPM in the intructions, since it's a .deb installation.
<2022-10-21T17:43:18.000Z> chudbere: yeah idk if i should try it with apt or what
<2022-10-21T17:43:29.000Z> look@muh.wang: It also says it's an "rpm package" when it clearly isn't :D
<2022-10-21T17:44:33.000Z> look@muh.wang: Let me try out the installation on my side and I'll report back.
<2022-10-21T17:44:45.000Z> chudbere: sure
<2022-10-21T17:45:08.000Z> chudbere: https://www.guilded.gg/i/Ezrq1RdE
<2022-10-21T17:45:13.000Z> chudbere: this is our guilded server
<2022-10-21T17:45:19.000Z> chudbere: i use that mainly for chatting
<2022-10-21T17:45:27.000Z> chudbere: it is a discord clone and has DMs
<2022-10-21T17:45:28.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ok, I'll switch there.
<2022-10-29T09:19:23.000Z> look@muh.wang: You draw? Wanna draw 3-4 panel comics? We're doing a satire comic thing and need someone to actually do the art. For monies, of course.
<2022-10-29T09:22:18.000Z> chudbere: my husband is the artist, but I can ask him if he is taking commissions anytime soon. he's really behind on his own comic right now though so it might not be soon that he's available
<2022-10-29T09:22:56.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yeah, I thought about asking you about him, but figured he's busy.
<2022-10-29T09:23:25.000Z> chudbere: I am not a very good artist lol
<2022-10-29T09:23:43.000Z> look@muh.wang: It's not about being good, but about being funny :D
<2022-10-29T09:23:59.000Z> chudbere: lmao okay well maybe, what are you wanting?
<2022-10-29T09:27:00.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ok, so this is a secret, so don't mention spread it, but we're planning a parody comic about Randbot. At the moment we need need 4-5 character "headshots" for a character bio page and some number of 3-4 panel comics. They can be black and white and don't need to be fancy, just kind of consistent in style, etc.
<2022-10-29T09:27:37.000Z> chudbere: hmm, I'm not super familiar with him and his content
<2022-10-29T09:27:46.000Z> chudbere: i know he has a vtuber cat and he's an aussie
<2022-10-29T09:28:05.000Z> chudbere: I can try, but I'd probably need a lot of references 
<2022-10-29T09:28:23.000Z> look@muh.wang: You don't have to be. We'll have the stories you can base it on. Just capture the likeness to some extent.
<2022-10-29T09:28:57.000Z> chudbere: why don't we try a portrait or two first and see if you like it before going further
<2022-10-29T09:29:55.000Z> look@muh.wang: Sure. I can pay $50-$100 per comic, ideally closer to $50. I can pay in XMR, but you can use that to pay for server costs.
<2022-10-29T09:30:20.000Z> look@muh.wang: Other crypto is fine too, but XMR is the best option.
<2022-10-29T09:30:39.000Z> look@muh.wang: Does that sound ok?
<2022-10-29T09:31:10.000Z> look@muh.wang: And if we ever actually make money from it, we'll share the profit, but that's unlikely.
<2022-10-29T09:31:45.000Z> look@muh.wang: That is, the point isn't to make money, but in case that somehow happens.
<2022-10-29T09:38:21.000Z> chudbere: sure!
<2022-10-29T09:38:42.000Z> chudbere: sorry typing one handed right now, holding baby
<2022-10-29T09:38:49.000Z> look@muh.wang: No worries :D
<2022-10-29T09:39:17.000Z> look@muh.wang: I'll ask my associate about what portrait to do and send you something you can work with.
<2022-10-29T09:39:29.000Z> chudbere: chat with me on guilded tomorrow with more info on the portraits and i can start on one soon
<2022-10-29T09:39:39.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ok :)
<2022-10-29T15:36:33.000Z> chudbere: I said I'm trash at art, but tbh I can do a little basic stuff. here's a claire redfield from Resident Evil emote I made for my twitch channel
<2022-10-29T15:37:15.000Z> chudbere: the line work is a little goofy because it's meant to be displayed really tiny lol
<2022-10-29T15:38:58.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh wow. That's really nice.
<2022-10-29T15:39:30.000Z> look@muh.wang: I showed my associate your Based Alaska doodle and he was instantly sold :D
<2022-10-29T15:39:35.000Z> chudbere: lmao
<2022-10-29T15:40:52.000Z> chudbere: I also did this Asuka a couple years ago
<2022-10-29T15:45:23.000Z> look@muh.wang: That looks good. I'll send you something to do a portrait with. We're not looking for anything fancy, just quick and dirty shitposting, so don't fret about making it nice. Anything that's funny is enough.
<2022-10-29T15:45:34.000Z> chudbere: okay
<2022-11-06T13:22:53.000Z> chudbere: does Rand have anything he says frequently on air 
<2022-11-06T13:22:58.000Z> chudbere: like a catchphrase
<2022-11-06T13:23:14.000Z> chudbere: way he signs off for the night or starts up his stream 
<2022-11-06T13:23:41.000Z> chudbere: like jim does "well ______, chat" at the start of his
<2022-11-06T13:53:47.000Z> look@muh.wang: I DO NOT SKIP DINGS!!! - Randbot after he skipped a couple dings
<2022-11-06T13:53:53.000Z> look@muh.wang: Ding being a donation.
<2022-11-06T13:54:17.000Z> look@muh.wang: I don't know if "ding" is a common word for donation :D
<2022-11-06T14:01:52.000Z> chudbere: lol
<2022-11-06T14:01:59.000Z> chudbere: does the cat avatar have a name
<2022-11-06T14:32:18.000Z> look@muh.wang: Niggerman. Apparently that's what H.P. Lovecraft called his cat.
<2022-11-06T14:45:20.000Z> chudbere: lol
<2022-11-06T19:05:17.000Z> chudbere: just wanted you to know i'm making progress
<2022-11-06T19:05:37.000Z> chudbere: decided to do an actual comic, doing linework on the first panel
<2022-11-06T19:28:32.000Z> look@muh.wang: Looks nice, but Rand way, way more spherical :D
<2022-11-06T19:28:48.000Z> chudbere: no no this is the imaginary rand
<2022-11-06T19:28:56.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oooh, ok.
<2022-11-06T19:29:15.000Z> chudbere: all soldiery and hosting a pro radio show in a studio
<2022-11-06T19:29:26.000Z> chudbere: then i'll have a transition panel 
<2022-11-06T19:29:34.000Z> chudbere: then a panel showing him as he really is 
<2022-11-06T19:29:39.000Z> look@muh.wang: :D
<2022-11-06T19:29:47.000Z> look@muh.wang: Looks good.
<2022-11-06T19:29:48.000Z> chudbere: in a padded room talking into a tin can attached to a plunger
<2022-11-06T19:30:02.000Z> look@muh.wang: lol
<2022-11-06T19:30:17.000Z> chudbere: who is a regular donator name
<2022-11-06T19:31:14.000Z> look@muh.wang: Carl is my first thought. He likes to post degenerate futa, but no one seems to care.
<2022-11-06T19:32:29.000Z> chudbere: So Rand might say something like "Thank you Carl for that spicy $50 ding!"
<2022-11-06T19:32:42.000Z> chudbere: if he were an actual pro radio host lol
<2022-11-06T19:34:32.000Z> look@muh.wang: Sounds good :D
<2022-11-06T19:35:01.000Z> chudbere: okay so i don't have the exact dialogue planned but first panel will be something like that, thanking a person for a dono
<2022-11-06T19:35:24.000Z> chudbere: second panel will be just his hands setting down his hat and headphones on a table
<2022-11-06T19:36:15.000Z> chudbere: third panel will be fat rand in an asylum jumpsuit, leaning back in a chair and telling the cat (still have to draw it curled up on the mixer board) "Another great show in the bag, Niggerman."
<2022-11-06T19:36:51.000Z> look@muh.wang: Sounds great and wholesome :D
<2022-11-06T19:38:25.000Z> chudbere: awesome
<2022-11-06T19:43:25.000Z> look@muh.wang: My "associate" (the creative genius who came up with the idea) likes it as well. He says don't forget the ammo box on the head of the "real" Rand. I have no idea how to draw that. If you feel like it's not possible, let me know and I'll try to talk him out of the idea.
<2022-11-06T19:44:39.000Z> chudbere: Well, I don't know if I can get the ammo box in this comic, I was going to have a big scar on real rand's head
<2022-11-06T19:44:54.000Z> chudbere: Then it could be revealed in a future comic how he got the scar
<2022-11-06T19:45:12.000Z> look@muh.wang: Yeah, draw it however you see best.
<2022-11-06T19:45:20.000Z> chudbere: okay :)
<2022-11-06T19:46:39.000Z> look@muh.wang: A compromise might be a big shard of metal pointing out from under a gauge that acts like an antenna and sends Rand messages.
<2022-11-06T19:47:53.000Z> chudbere: a gauge on the mixing sound board?
<2022-11-06T19:50:07.000Z> look@muh.wang: No, I mean on his head, where the ammo box hit. Instead of a scar, there would be a shard of metal. That was my original vision, because an ammo box is big and it'll take up a huge part of every panel. But draw what you feel is best. I think results are usually best when the artist has free reign.
<2022-11-06T19:51:46.000Z> chudbere: oh okay I can do a chunk of metal sticking out, yeah!
<2022-11-07T07:56:55.000Z> look@muh.wang: That's a drawing someone made of Rand. In case you need inspiration :D
<2022-11-07T08:10:49.000Z> chudbere: Okay :)
<2022-11-14T18:26:50.000Z> look@muh.wang: Lots of people migrating to chudbuds. How are things going with the hardware?
<2022-11-14T18:30:48.000Z> chudbere: Memory seems to be okay
<2022-11-14T18:30:59.000Z> chudbere: A little slow after a big migration
<2022-11-14T18:31:07.000Z> chudbere: So I do a restart
<2022-11-14T18:31:30.000Z> chudbere: I need to figure out how to look up how much of our hard drive storage is used
<2022-11-14T18:31:37.000Z> look@muh.wang: Did you finally get the better VPS?
<2022-11-14T18:31:40.000Z> look@muh.wang: df -h
<2022-11-14T18:32:01.000Z> chudbere: Yes we have 3 cores and 12GB now
<2022-11-14T18:32:08.000Z> look@muh.wang: Nice
<2022-11-14T18:32:39.000Z> chudbere: Sorry I haven't gotten your comic done yet
<2022-11-14T18:32:57.000Z> chudbere: Things have been so busy with the site and our kids 
<2022-11-14T18:33:09.000Z> look@muh.wang: Oh, no worries. It's a slow project anyway. We're nowhere near getting the site up. So take as long as it takes :)
<2022-11-14T18:33:33.000Z> chudbere: And my husband's ex wife is coming to visit her kids for Thanksgiving so I have a ton of cleaning to do
<2022-11-14T18:34:12.000Z> look@muh.wang: I have no idea how you have time to begin with for chudbuds. It's very impressive.
<2022-11-14T18:35:41.000Z> chudbere: We have a good mod team
<2022-11-14T18:36:01.000Z> chudbere: And to be honest we rarely have to janny chudbuds members
