Pfp alt text: an anime-style drawing of a girl with pointy cat ears and long purple hair that flows down past her shoulders. she has big, bright purple eyes with slit pupils and is looking forward with an excited, open-mouthed expression. she’s wearing a simple white collared shirt, and the background is a solid pink with a darker pink curved shape and two small purple stars floating to the left. the art has clean, bold black outlines and a vibrant, flat color palette.
Banner alt text: frame from the background of the fourth stage of Touhou Chireiden ~ Subterranean Animism. It's an image of a tiled floor with a repeating pattern of illuminated, stained-glass-like tiles set among darker, reddish-brown tiles. Each lit tile is composed of four smaller squares and displays a vibrant, swirling mosaic of hexagonal colored fragments, casting soft glows and shadows on the surrounding tiles.
i did some debugging and it specifically wants the PMAXUD instruction, which, according to some quick googling i did, seems to be an SSE4.1 instruction (which the poor server's old cpu doesn't support)
it was way more painful than i anticipated. i tried running the official release tarball, and it would terminate with SIGILL (because my server's CPU is ancient)
the fix was to build everything from source lol
surprisingly, it did not take four and a half centuries
i kinda want to make an update post on the stuff i've been up to during the time i was gone, but it's been so long i don't even know what to put in it lol (i don't even know where to start + it'd be too long )
@green it's been so much time i don't remember why i decided to take such a long break from fedi, but now i'm adopting that as the canon explanation. i was just eeping the whole time
