I'm thinking of becoming an animator...

 I recently started to watch someone who I was aware of its existence but never got to watch his videos, that person it's Chipflake, or shorter, Chip.

He is a Britan that moved to Germany for lots of reasons with the main one being to be with his life partner. But I don't want to make this post all about Chip! I mean, read the title.

So, thinking of becoming an animator... This thought came into my head a few days ago when I got to known it's history tough older videos, now to be real with you, I kind of relate to him with a lot of things. One of them being how I sit while using my laptop, like I sit exactly the same! With my legs in front of me. Only recently I tried to sit normally, but there are colder days where my legs are freezing...

Anyways! Now from where does the part of "I'm thinking of becoming an animator" come from? Well just a few minutes before starting to write this post I watched a video posted by Chipflake about 5 years ago. That video is "Looking through my giant box of drawings", posted on 20th of November 2020, this video gave life to a thought of becoming an animator.

Now I don't think I will start to do animation from tomorrow, because there are a lot of things that I need to take into account. One of them being the name I'm using everywhere! If you don't know, the name "IulianArian" is my actual real name. The same name that shows on my ID, on my birth certificat, etc.

Which now that I think about it, doesn't sound good at all in other languages! Plus, the name "IulianArian" doesn't sound that good... Maybe I will eventually change it to something else, but right now I don't have any ideas, plus it will be frustrating to rebrand everything from my YouTube channel to my wiki.

So, maybe in the near future I will come up with a name that sounds good and is memorable.

I started playing Minecraft single-player...

 Today I created a Minecraft world on the version 1.16.5. Why on this version in particular? Well, it was the last version I felt happy playing it, and also it in my opinion it was the last version to retain the old gameplay but not in a way which felt too old.

Now that I have given a brief explanation to why I choose this specific version, let's get into the world details! The world I'm playing on has the seed -343522682, which is the seed of the demo world that is created if you don't have Minecraft bought on PC.

The curent "home".
Why I choose this seed? Well, back in the autumn of 2018, I started playing Minecraft. But because my mom was very anti-buying games, I played on the demo world. The demo world in particular left a very weird mark on my soul, it was like a familiar place that was at the same time unknown. And that's why I love it!

So, with that second explanation out of the way, let me tell you about the current induration of the world. As soon as I created it, I rushed into getting a bed using shears. Because I know that killing too many animals around the spawning chunks will lead into them not spawning throughout the world.

After that I made myself a cozy little home in the famous cave, where I first put down my bed all the way back in 2018. After that I started looting one shipwreck round spawn and started to make my base.

The state of the base so far.
After marking some foundation to my base, I started to mine a bit. But as you can tell by the time I posted this post, I didn't get too far with that.

Anyways! I think I've finally found that lost happiness to playing Minecraft. Now that I started this world, I will set myself one rule. One important rule that I cannot break under any circumstances. That rule is that I'm not allowed to cheat, even if I'm in big danger.

I set myself this rule because I did not beat Minecraft in the right way once in my life! I mean it was always like once I got to the end, I wound just do /kill @e[type=ender_dragon] and that was it! And now I feel bad for not doing it correctly, so that's why I'm setting myself this rule!

Welcome Bluesky!

 Today I made an important decision. And that decision is that when I will become more known as a person online, I will start to use Bluesky!

I feel that Bluesky it's a much better alternative and that it is really the blue sky that everyone wants. I like how that sounded. Anyways, because I made this post only to announce that I'm on Bluesky as well, I feel that this will be the perfect post to mention why I think Bluesky is better than Twitt- I mean đť•Ź.

So, let's get started with the AI part. Our beautiful AI that invaded our day-to-day life either we want it or not, now I don't have anything with AI, I kind of actually like it. But when it is thrown in every single thing known to mankind, it starts to lose its charm of being that one unic tool.

Twitter has its own AI named Grok, which sounds a lot like the word "glock". The thing is that this AI is thrown at you every time it has the chance to be, trough the comments, or through the sidebar. Bluesky on the other hand, doesn't even have an AI chatbot.

Now, let's get into the algorithm of each platform. Twitter has a more "what's popular" algorithm, as for Bluesky it as a more "from your fallowing". Which I think the Bluesky one it's the better one.

Bluesky fells a lot like it's for humans in my opinion. Twitter it's just filled with bots, if you look at any report of the bot percentage, Twitter will be at around 90%. Which means Twitter became a "from bots for bots" platform.

Now I know I haven't pointed everything out, but I'm sure you know the other inconveniences with Twitter that just make Bluesky look like a pile of gold.

Most of the internet just went down

 I just got back from school, and I hopped on SMPEarth, which is a server I usually play on. I just wanted to vote for the server to receive the 4000 dollars you get in game for voting.

ChatGPT as of 18th of November 2025 4:00 PM.
Littel did I know that Cloudflare managed the backend of those websites. And that I couldn't vote at all!

I said to myself: "Ok, it happens sometimes...". An event like this happened a few years ago as well, but it didn't affect me much back then. But now I happen to rely on Cloudflare much more than a few years ago. After I saw that it was a peaty serios outage, so I decided to go to ChatGPT. The same thing, it relies on Cloudflare. So, I guess I will go on Twitter? It too relies on Cloudflare.

My Encyclopedia as of 18th of November 2025 4:00 PM.
Now I guess I will watch some videos on YouTube... because I can't do much...

Or I can process the photos I made today at school. Anyways, the think is that Cloudflare need a competitor as soon as posibile! Because if this happens in the future, it may make the whole internet unusable!

Just look at my wiki right now! It's stuck on error 500 because of Cloudflare!

This is the best day of my life!

 For the past weeks I was looking for a new laptop. Not because my old one is broken ir anything, but it was taken from me because on the 28th of October 2025 "I did not do anything productive".

So, since then I am stuck with 2 laptops that they were hidden as a backup. Those 2 laptops are the Dell Latitude E5570 and the Fujitsu Lifebook S752, which were very helpful for the past week. Anyway! Now let's get into the topic!

I was looking for a new laptop, because let's be real, my main laptop (the Dell G3 3500) had enough. So, I started looking through business class laptop. Because I heard they were the best ones build, but they were expensive! Like one would be around the 30000 RON mark, which was already too expansive for a laptop.

And in that moment, I remembered a laptop manufacture which made laptop to last, and to be a worthy investment. Framework! Framework is one of the BEST laptop manufactures to ever exist! And that's why I considered a laptop from them will be a no-brainer!

Now originally, I settled for my laptop configuration to be under 16000 RON. But after giving my phone to my mom, I think she was like: "He wants only 32 GB of RAM? Let's make that 96!". And that's how the laptop became around 18000 RON (tax not included). Personally, I did not expect her to do such a move. But I guess I was wrong!

Now, because I felt bad for wanting an object which was that expensive. I said to her that I will pay a small amount of money. And she said that with my money or not, she will save money for the laptop. My mind was blowing of happiness! Like I will 100% get it!

But he put a condition to this deal. My dream of getting a Framework, would only become a reality if I get into high school. Now, I respect that decision, it's completely understandable. So, from now on if I want to get that Framework laptop, I will need to learn really bad. Because my grades are not good by any means, and if I want to get into high school, my grades need to be better than 5 for Romanian and math.

And now with that said. I might not post for a while... So, have a great morning, afternoon, night, whatever!
