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?

How long before I can order them and grow my own shoe? Exciting stuff!

The Wisewolf will eventually learn the ways of streaming in the 21st century.

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.

For real, that nostalgia hit slowly crept up on me as I realised what song Fuwamoco was covering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jp2f8iIZrdY&t=7705s

Thank you for sharing this talk! Literally sweating as the ramifications started to hit me while watching it. Probably the most profound video I have watched in many years.

Whoa this is awesome! Thanks!

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.

Oh neat. Thanks for the clarification. Maybe that’s all I need to do to patch my TW system to get it working!

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?

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.

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.

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.

I learnt how to use OBS just so I can export my screen to the camera feed because of Zoom’s immensely confounding oversight considering their profit.
