Mario Breskic : Social Wall

Meine Social‑Media‑Beiträge – offen und ohne Anmeldung

  • This I think is a sort of follow‑up to my previous post, but from a bird’s eye view.

    I’ve had this idea in my head, for years, to be able to not having to log into any website, just to see what I’ve written on some topic or other, because I use websites to keep track of my notes, thoughts, actions, and so on. Post‑it notes, for 2025. I scribble, I sketch, and somehow having a feed in front of me, it works for me.

    But the logging in part? Well, that didn’t. So I finally fixed it.

    That frees up space in my mind, space I will now invest to improve my craft as a graphic designer. The last five years were about doing that: making space for myself. And now, now I have the space to enjoy this writing space fully. Hey there. Glad you are reading this. Are you comfortable? I’ve put a pizza from the freezer into the oven, and it is a fancy and decadent one, on the carton it says it has a crust filled with hot dogs. What are you having? Anything to celebrate?

    I like celebrating. And right now, I am celebrating that the next few months will not be about fixing something only I ever thought was broken.

    Instead, there will be books about art, books about design, and I will do things again, I will draw and paint, I will sketch, and above all:

    I will draw lines on paper from which I am going to work.

    I’ve heard someone call that thumbailing once, but they used paint and brushes for that, so I am not sure about that anymore.

    And you can tune in pretty much anywhere, from anywhere, and you will get to see something happening, hopefully something made by me.

    But for Sunday, which is either today or will be yesterday, depending on when this goes up where, I will do something to recharge by creative batteries: I will play a solo RPG.

    Currently, I am torn between Mörk Borg, and Ironsworn.

    I like RPGs. They got me into the whole design game to begin with. That, and HTML. Tagging this up and sending it on its merry way to you. Pizza’s almost done, too.🍕

  • Und mit dem letzten #IFTTT­-Applet (für heute) habe ich auch Bluesky in mein System aus öffentlicher Social Wall unter socialwall.mariobreskic.de, sowie in mein privates Archiv meiner Posts mittels #OneDrive und #OneNote hinzugefügt. 🥳🍾 #asca

  • I have been using IFTTT applets for a while and they have become unüberschaubar , that is, hard to take in.

    There were just too many, and too much text explaining what each was doing, so I decided to fix that.

    First by inventing some kind of boilerplate for the applet names. Then by adding emojis.

    And I think that these work better now. I don’t have to actually read them to know which is which. I can look for the symbol, the words Backup, Goodreads, or Loop, and then, after confirming that this might be the right one I need to edit (because I tend to do that), only then will I have to read what they do, and thanks to the boilerplate, I can soon ignore the boilerplate and just scan for the key words.

    I hope this will reduce cognitive load. I now know that my backup automations all use the word Backup, that my Goodreads automation each use Goodreads, and that my looping ecosystem, where my own Social Media Content gets either posted on my own website (like songs I have recently liked on Spotify, or what I am watching right now gets logged on Trakt and then sent to my website) or where articles from my website get posted on Social Media get sent out, is called Loops.

    I find I keep saying that too often, but a search function is the most important thing when dealing with life (and work) online.

    There is also a workaround for posting these posts to my own mastodon instance’s personal account in the pipes, but that will take several vibe codings at ambient temperature to get right.

  • Coming back from a couple of days of trying out many setting in Photoshop and my Wacom, I have concluded that I need to actually learn using Photoshop.

    Luckily, I have come prepared, and already have just the right book for that.

    I want to make a note here about how strange it is that using something like Photoshop first requires treating it like a whole workplace in itself.

    Like nesting dolls, I have setup my laptop workplace inside my larger workplace, and now I have to setup the Photoshop workplace inside of my laptop.

    Plus, I have invested in Lazy Nezumi Pro, because brush smoothing in Photoshop is f*cked since 2019.

    I don’t even want to talk about it. I’ve spent many hours on trying to fix this issue, only to do like everyone else did: turn off Smoothing (not just put it to 0%, turn it off), buy Lazy Nezumi Pro.

    Trying out another system for scheduling, I think my timezone is basically dead on Tumblr. Went UTC between 6pm and 12am for this.

  • Gerade die perfekte Dosis Spaß hier. 🤓 Die Shaderpinsel in #BlackInk sind einfach wild 🐗 und obwohl ich kaum Controller nutze, erfüllt sich langsam ein Traum: programmatisch Grafiken bauen. 💻🖌️

  • Guten Morgen aus der Werkstatt: ich konnte Boden im Umgang mit den programmatischen Pinseln von #BlackInk gewinnen. Den Code für den Shader poste ich einfach hier rein, die Controller darf jeder nach eigenem Ermessen zusammenstecken.
    BlackInk ist das wahrscheinlich am schlechtesten dokumentierte Stück Grafiksoftware, das mir bisher unterkam, aber das hat auch seinen Reiz: man muss es knacken, man kämpft sich ab.
    Ich freue mich schon auf die nächste Wochenzusammenfassung auf Code & Canvas. Und auf weitere Arbeiten mit dieser Software.
    #glitch #glitchbrush #bleedingcrt #buildinpubliccfg {
    name = „DEBUG Vertical RGB Stripes“;
    renderingTime = 60;
    }

    float4 main(idatas i) {
    // Normalize stroke space UVs
    box2 b = box2FromCenterAxe(i.strokeStartPos, length(i.strokePos – i.strokeStartPos), normalizeSafe(i.strokePos – i.strokeStartPos));
    float2 uv = 4 * b.toCenter(i.pos) / b.size;

    // Scale up horizontal frequency
    float stripe = floor(uv.x * 60); // visible stripes

    // Simple stripe pattern: R, G, B
    float3 col = float3(0.0, 0.0, 0.0);
    if (mod(stripe, 3) == 0) {
    col.r = 1.0;
    } else if (mod(stripe, 3) == 1) {
    col.g = 1.0;
    } else {
    col.b = 1.0;
    }

    return float4(col, 1.0);
    }
