Hello again~!!

Today I will show you how to easily install a local text to image tool on windows that will work with a variety of user interfaces available.

You can run a number of different models as well..

stabilitymatrix install

• Go to: Stability Matrix and download the latest release.

• When this download is completed, go to your preferred storage place on your pc/network, make a new folder, mine is just named stability matrix, extract the executable file here.

Today marks the start of my attempt at using a drawing tablet as a general purpose + gaming input device and so far it’s pretty great with one exception.

The device I am using is this: https://store.huion.com/eu/products/kamvas-13 !

• general input 10/10 it works just as well as a regular mouse I’d say, which is my /10 marker
• path of exile 2 8/10 often depressing mouse 1 because of learning curve of hovering the sylus above the tablet screen.
• counter strike 2 3/10 I had to increase my ingame sense to an ungodly amount feels good for general gameplay but nades are absolutely awful in that releasing nades makes them jerk upwards cause of raising the pen from the screen. This is an issue especially for me as I’ve built up nade experience on office for about 5000 hours and my best nades are highly precise.
• drawing ?/10 I was never really good at drawing but did do a lot of it as a kid/teenager, wanting to pick up the skill again I’m relearning so I cannot say how good it is therefor.

life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get

it’s been a bit of a wild ride recently, I got my ethernet wiring done using field plugs, wiring regular rj45 plugs is … let’s just say I’m not that guy. My razer blade 15 2020 base model laptop has been turned into a proxmox server taking care of an ubuntu vm I can ssh into to download anime from anywhere in the world, as well as a truenas core vm to handle the data stored. I have gotten ollama [dolphin-llama3, and mixtral], stable diffusion [FLUX], running on my desktop system.
