  • For those who don’t know KDE Connect yet, KDE Connect is such a beautiful software and app with many useful features and possibilities. I strongly recommend it if you have two or more devices that you need to use interchangeably. I use it to inter-connect both of my laptops (both Arch, by the way) with both of my Android smartphones. It allows me, for example, to monitor battery charging of one smartphone through the other smartphone (so I can keep it laying still, steadily charging, without disturbing the charging process, as the current state of my USB cable is not as good). Clipboard sharing is something I became so accustomed to use that when KDE Connect isn’t connected for some reason (for example, when the phone is connected through mobile network, therefore, not being on the same LAN network as my laptops), the lack of a unified clipboard feels strange to me.


  • Terraria. I’m trying to make a flat small world pre-Hardmode, starting at the depth level from the western ocean (240’ above surface level) and going all the way east. I’m trying to keep the biomes, re-placing or filling blocks as needed (e.g. mud for jungle, snow for arctic, sand for desert and stone for crimson), while also making some hellevators, especially a wide (5+ blocks of distance) one between the crimson and its two neighboring biomes (so crimson won’t spread, specially if and when I enter hardmode).

    Specifically at the desert biome, which was way below 240’, I needed more sand than the world had to offer, so I needed to smuggle sand from another world I temporarily created. I dug thousands and thousands of sand blocks and sandstone blocks, taking them with my character to this world that I’m terraforming.

    As I started to smuggle blocks from a world to another, my objective became two: terraforming two worlds, the first world being leveled from sea to sea while keeping every biome, and the other being almost emptied (I’m calling it “voidforming” because I’m intending to take out literally every block I can, from space to underworld; as for the underworld’s lava, I’m using the infinite bucket trickery to create honey so I can convert the lava into crispy honey blocks which can be converted to hive when casting them to the shimmer, and part of this hive can be possibly converted to honey again while digging it; Lihzard blocks, Crimson altars and Dungeon blocks seem to be the only blocks I won’t be capable of removing in a pre-Hardmode world that actually won’t see any hardmode at all, as every single pool of lava will be removed so the Guide Voodoo Doll won’t have lava to be thrown to). Blocks from the voidformed world are mean to be used to help terraforming the other world, while the achievements from the terraformed world (such as tissue samples from Brain of Cthulhu) can be used to build tools and resources that will help on voidforming the other world.

    Lots of work, but it’s just so I can have something to keep my mind busy.
