This post is mainly showing how my life completely changed in 2024.
1. Joined IRC this year.
IRC is a rather old chatting platform, possibly one of the oldest on the net! I’ve decided to try out IRC when I saw “Quassel IRC” preinstalled on Lubuntu, after that, I decided to register my first IRC account, on the Libera.Chat network as
swee
using my galaxy tab 3.
What stood out most was some popular off-topic channels (Like ##
and ##chat
) and the ##furry
channel, but we’ll get to that later.
The Libera.Chat network has an interesting but rather friendly community, I spent most of my time staying awake the whole night, using my tab 3 to chat on IRC. It was a nice experience actually! People were quite impressed with my skills for such a young age.
IRC also changed my path when it came to programming, my most successful projects being MeowNexUS and Codename IRCat.
2. Became a furry.
Now this is another one of the major changes I had.
Either last year or two years ago, I tried to become a furry on scratch. Rookie mistake: I told my parents about it.
This time, in the ##furry
channel on libera, I’ve decided to fake myself as a furry with the nickname sweeCat
though the “pretending” didn’t last long when I began making fursonas and ref sheets, months later I decide “fuck it, I’m a furry now.”
So I basically faked it 'till I made it.
Honestly, I absolutely adore furry roleplay (as long as it’s SFW & wholesome), although the thought of being e-cuddled lots (and enjoying it) might sound weird to you, but whatever, it’s cute :3
3. Got a domain & VPS.
Yeah, all this work to get my website up, and this discourse instance too!
I now get an allowance of $5/mo so it’s pretty easy if I get a budget VPS like I have right now.
It’s not that much work for me to moderate all of this, so yeah :3
