YouTuber Holo #2: What Would Holo Say?
  • I don't know what the reason for downvoting this post is. But mayhaps funneling a few fediverse comments on an official channel will at least put this place on the map, so to speak, for the Japanese language-first media we are fans of?

  • We are all Masters (ぬしっ子) now. That's going to be our fannames if you follow this Wise Wolf YouTuber.

    I find it adorable Holo struggles to say all these modern terms that Koshimizu Ami would normally not even bat an eyelid at. Watching Holo become fluent in whatever it is we speak in this century is also canonical character development (probably).

    There is a form for sending in commentary in regards to the show, and also a captioning corner where you can suggest what Holo would say in the designated photos.

    Happy travels my fellow Masters.

  • It's the TOHO animation channel though, where they don't have comments turned on.

    Until very recently, they even cut short music videos on their channel artificially.

    Methinks they are not very good at this promotional thing in the Internet age. Definitely not the Oshi no Ko channel in terms of marketing prowess.

  • What better way for Holo to join us in the Reiwa era, than to have her own VTuber model to hawk goods. Episode 1 of Holo the Wisewolf's YouTuber debut!

  • Some things I learnt from watching the promotional event (restricted to Japan it seems) at Anime Japan. Do correct me if it seems I misunderstood or misremembered some parts of the interview:

    • The production crew is making the distinction between the earlier adaptation and the remake by referring to them as 平成版 (Heisei-era version) or 令和版 (Reiwa-era version).

    • Koshimizu Ami mentions everyone from novel-only, Heisei-era, to now Reiwa-era enjoyers to find pleasure in the versions they like, without trying to compare which versions are superior.

    • Koshimizu Ami expresses that she feels the years in the industry, and just gaining more life experience itself, will allow her to portray a Holo with more maturity with just the right balance of childishness.

    • Nakahara Mai is replaying Norah with the idea that this is a different Norah from a different work.

  • How I found out the first episode was out was from the YouTube algorithm recommending me ClariS's ED for the show, Andante.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_44hrm_sk4

    The algorithm knows me disturbingly well.

    As an enjoyer of the original anime, which led to me getting the novels, and then subsequent purchases of some of the other works of Hasekura Isuna, I am delighted that we are revisiting this universe, and hopefully, finish the adaptation this round.

    I like the changes made. I felt some of the early details in the novels were sufficiently fleshed out more. More importantly, I am happy with the reunification of Koshimizu Ami and Fukuyama Jun.

    Happy travels everyone!

  • I was so excited to see a new official cover of my favourite piece from Cowboy Bebop on Yoko Kanno's channel. I had the original on endless replay when I finally got the audio file as a teen weeb, back when we cherished our music files because it was so hard to get.

    Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
  • Whoa this is awesome! Thanks!

    Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
  • I may be at a loss as to how everything fits together. I was trying to get SD running for months on TW before I gave up. Then just booted Ubuntu and it worked. So I always assumed it was something kernel related since upstream only supports the non-rolling distros.

    What I need is probably an up-to-date write-up that is distro specific to TW. Meanwhile, I will probably try to compile ROCm and follow the suggestion in https://slrpnk.net/comment/2780338 and try to get rocm-opencl-runtime working.

    Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
  • Nice. I am partial towards the rolling-release model so once my new hard drive arrives, I might take the plunge and just do an Arch install. What's the latest no-frills way to go from installation to a working system for Arch Linux derivatives?

    Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
  • Oh yeah. I like Nix. I have nixpkgs running on Tumbleweed too. But yeah, the base OS needs to be stable to be compatible with ROCm stuff, so that's why I have Ubuntu installed in a separate partition.

    Any Successes in Getting SD running on a Rolling Release Distro?
  • Thanks for the suggestion. The problem is getting the ROCm kernels running. I looked into containers for ROCm support and unsurprisingly, my host OS needs it first.

  • I have been running Stable Diffusion in a separate partition with Ubuntu 22.04 because my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed installation does not support the ROCm kernels out of the box. I have seen some sporadic attempts on the web from folks looking to get something running on their rolling release distros, like the Arch Linux community.

    Just wanna know if anyone else around here has tried something that works with their favourite rolling-release distros?

    Is A1111 able to boot into a private browser tab?
  • Hope it works out for you! It would be a pain to always have to reload the references and notes for stuff so I'd rather just have it stick around.

  • Alternatively, you could create a profile, for example name your profile a1111. To summon it run firefox -p a1111 then change the options to always clear the cache, never store cookies, never keep a history, and you have effectively created a private browsing tab.

    Or better yet, you have a completely separate profile just for A1111 that will not interfere with your regular browsing.

    It should be fairly easy to find the line to launch a browser window in the config then to launch the profile you just created.

    AOC Says Climate Movement Must Become 'Too Big and Too Radical to Ignore'
  • If we are treating this like an emergency, imagine if you were a resident of the flooding in Derna, what they would do if they saw the Exxon oil executives dining on the side of a posh cafe in their suits and tie saying the death of everyone in your neighbourhood is just business?

    I would very much advocate for beating them up.
