@Mr_NutterButter Right, that was a nightmare. He DID finish it but was not happy about it and unprofessional. I had to cut ties with him after he handed it over because while he apologized at first, he become unprofessional when I pressed for a full refund after his two years taking to finish it. The unfinished piece he had handed me wasn't acceptable and I had no luck finding people to finish his screw up. I felt the "apology" was just an act after his behavior. He's a troubled person, so it's best to let him go. I'm also looking into getting it redrawn because I personally don't want to promote his art. I do believe people can change but I felt he didn't in those two years and I wouldn't want to send someone "to their doom". I used it as a banner for a bit and still have it up as my banner on this account but I don't credit him, which is not something I do when I get commissioned work. I want to support artists but if their worth ethic is bad and take money from people, it's not responsible of me to promote.

@Spingebill Bless his heart. 🙏 Living the dream.

@beardalaxy darn 😢 Closest is the one with the Hitler moustachio.

@salutora He's a good boy! Praying for Umekichi's return home. 🙏

@salutora I'm so sorry that Umekichi is sick! 😢 It made me cry to see him like this. This breaks my heart as your daily pictures of Umekichi are something I always look forward to in my day for the years I have followed you. Dogs are angels and I wish they wouldn't get sick because they are so precious. I will pray that Umekichi will feel better. 🙏 Best wishes from across the ocean to Umekichi and yourself.

Which ugly bastard are you, frens? I'm the one with the piggy ears because he looks cute.

@beardalaxy ouggh yes, she very cute

Earlier this year, I opened the (very rewarding) can of worms of setting up my own Misskey instance. Prior to that, I knew nothing about Linux, so it took me a very long time to look into everything. It was like putting together a puzzle... And my monko brain is NOT good at puzzles.

Misskey specific troubleshooting was especially tedious as there is very scarce documentation or discussion available in English. I ended up joining their Discord and thankfully got some help there for my specific hitches. It's all ran by volunteers. Some things I'm now able to recognize and try to help but other things are too advanced for me to understand.

The biggest piece of shit was actually setting up the proxy for the Bucket Storage for the media. I would say this is absolutely mandatory but there is no proper documentation on how to set up the proxy to the bucket for Misskey. Ended up finding some several posts but for Mastodon and somehow managed to adapt that to Misskey, as it works slightly differently.

It took like a whole day to get that shit to work and I pulled something out my ass to get FINALLY get it running, as I couldn't get the Ngnix configuration on the Docker image for Bucket Storage (https://blog.nginx.org/blog/using-nginx-as-object-storage-gateway) to support an SSL cert. Ended up proxying that container through my Nginx Proxy Manager Docker container. lmao
Unorthodox proxy in proxy but it works, so I don't care.

Everything is smooth sailing now (let's hope nothing breaks) and I'm having tons of fun with Misskey.

Posting my shortstack OC's "SFW" version reminds me of one of my absolute favorite furry memes.

@beardalaxy I want to marry Lucky Animal Crossing but the cowards won't let me.
