The Shift of Open Source Solutions

  [DISCLAIMER: THIS IS MY POINT OF VIEW AND SHALL NOT BE LINKED WITH THE COMPANY WHERE I WORK NOR ITS DECISION] As a supporter of Free/Open Source Software (FOSS) movement and even once one of the spearhead of Indonesian FOSS movement, all I can say is that there is a great shift of what is an Open Source movement. Ever since Eric Raymond shift the definition of Open Source, which forced Stallman to use new term: Free Software, it is clear that project that made its source open is a new strategy for new startups to gather masses. Yeah, a for-profit company seeking fame using open source strategy. However, how far would you go to open them up? Well, there are two things that made it not profitable: 1. You made the product too stable and easy to use that you failed to commercialized it. The biggest example is RethinkDB. 2. You made the product with permissive license (MIT/BSD clause) and cloud companies use your product and make superior offerings. From long ago, commercialization is...

III Justen x Sena Remix.ver / LYRA (Kanata × Nico × Calliope × Risu × El...

This "I I I" cover version as the last gift from Kanata of Hololive before she graduated. It is a reinterpretation from the OG version by Marine and Kobo of Hololive.  This is a good vocal group song, IMHO. Uncle Dad (Mori) has becomes the anchor of the rapping.  Liz also put restrainst on her voice blend well with others and her adlibs here and there is icing to the cake. Risu is playing well here with Kanata. I guess the Bansaka incident really because of the bad coordination. Her voice blends well with Kanata here.  Niko being Niko. She's using her best voice here. Kanata herself is not that dominant here. I guess this is like a story of a senior letting their junior shine? But, man, her voice is good here. I hope she gets well. She is one of the JP branch singer that I listen to. Regarding Risu, I know I'm a bit bias here, but I felt that HoloID usually played the part of setting their voice according to their counterpart. Bansaka feels like Risu not support her ...

Religion

 Religion becomes an act we do the rituals we follow the customs we even post serlfies and videos But the responsibility that once came with it? That's gone It's not because that people becomes less spiritual It's just that spirituality has become convenient. Faith gives comfort, but not change responsibility replaced with rituals

My Answer vs The World

How to stand in your faith without making the world worst, I can say this video is the one that define it:   I have to say, what John Cena said is what we should practise on faith: "feels right of what we are believing without forcing other people to take the same stance." I may support a party, a politician, etc., but it doesn't make me not befriend with other people with other view on politics. What is to gain to hate them people? I don't really understand what's wrong with current politics climate. I remember the history story about Indonesian founders. In Konstituante, they represented their parties and fought with words to have their agenda across. It was very delicate debates. However, when they have recesses, they would walked away into the concierge room and they would talked with each other about different light topics as if there was no heated debates on-going among them. Contrasted with today's view where you would witch hunted even your own family ...

Vibe Coding Workflow

I am currently working for having A.I. workflow for generating projects. There are two things that need to be tackled for that: 1) hallucinations; and 2) old codes. I have met several patterns to tackle those two and just need to formulate the patterns into a general flow. Thankfully, a video of building fullstack app using A.I. from Raf Dev channel inspired me to make the formulation. He used multiple A.I. engines to his need: He used Google Gemini to onboard his ideas and summarized it. He forked a boilerplate of NextJS project into a new project. Then, he added the summary from Google Gemini into a file for context. He used QWEN Code, a QWEN3 code engine that is a fork from Gemini CLI, to build the project. When working with an existing project, A.I. will take the whole project as a context. It also means that it will stick with the version used by the libraries. It also will try to update its knowledge based on the common pattern in the project. Most of the time, it will use the c...

Vibe Coding with QWEN Code

I am learning how to do vibe coding right. Vibe coding was a term coined by Andrej Karpathy for doing coding using LLM. And the world splitted with acknowledging it and flatly denying it. There is a compelling reason why vibe coding is dangerous: LLM trained on a snapshot knowledge. Meaning, the updated knowledge might get passed out. This makes LLM produces old syntax that are no longer true. This is dangerous for building web where we are using the volatile Javascript libraries.  LLM have the tendency to halucinate. This means it would generate codes that doesn't work. This is actually the problem with the way LLM work previously. It only has a set of knowledge built on. The RAG also might not correct. They have fixed this with the new LLM specialized code. This was started by Antropic's Claude Code . And then, folks at Google releases the same with Gemini CLI . After that, Alibaba forks the Gemini CLI and built QWEN Code . These are built either run in the project directory...

Companies Making Calls for Our Cultures

I'm not into NSFW contents. I don't like horror content. I don't like killing content. However, having corporate dictate our culture is something concerning. I do have issues with current trend for corporates to milk our hard-earned money. Purchasing is no longer owning. Products are designed with planned obsolence. Our works are on the cloud and being inputted into A.I. without our consent (or forced to consent). 

The Flag

Several people have been targeted by Indonesian authorities for raising the flag from the popular Japanese anime to express discontent with the government. One minister said the act could be considered treason. The Indonesian government should stop repressing freedom of… pic.twitter.com/LMX9qB12Ws — Amnesty International (@amnesty) August 7, 2025 Indonesian are doing protest by waving the flag of Jolly Roger from One Piece anime . The movement was first started by Indonesian truckers who usually put Indonesian flag on their truck in August each year to celebrate Indonesian independence day. In the One Piece story, there are lots of pirates with their own beliefs. They may even have conflicting ideas. However, Indonesian people chose Straw Hat Jolly Roger, the protagonist's flag. The flag of carefree and freedom. The first instance truckers waving the Jolly Roger were because they had troubles waiting days to get into the ferry boat. They felt they have waited too long and the...

Hajime x Kobo - Ride on Time

  I have a soft spot for 80s pop. I really like them singing this song. I wish in 0:41 they split their voice instead using a unison. They did it all over the song making this song a little bit boring. But, hey, I like to listen to this song so I put my review on this.

「MV」mumei

I didn't realize that I haven't review this song when this song already on my common playlist. Yes. This song deserves as a song, not the vtuber song, the real artist song. It is up there in my playlist among other songs. I can only have three in my mind of vtuber original songs that top can be in that playlist: The OG song by Suisei, Stellar Stellar. This song really made the vtuber music on the chart of being a serious songs, not just that Idol-wannabe songs. Moona's High Tide. A good song with rich production specialty of K-Pop with Japanese sensibility and the dance that changed Hololive direction back to Yagoo's dream. LOL. The piano arpeggio really reminds me of Last Night Tonight by KZ Livetune. It really evokes the dreamlike and longing inside. However, the dynamics in the song in the EDM-type of song really made this 4:15 songs feels like a story not repetitive. TKN really knows his stuff. He compose the song with Mumei's voice as instrument and also play...

Gosling'ed

This 26 seconds long video was titled "Lapwing - Face Tracking Add on" is a demonstration of a VRChat plugin. This plugin was used for face tracking. It was created by a French guy. The guy demonstrated the plugin with a girl character named Lapwing. The problem with this demonstration was the expressions generated were so lovely. She evokes cute girlfriend experience. Making people longing for her. Thus, online people felt lost because the short period of this video. Felt like being left lonely for a nonexistant girlfriend. Like Ryan Gosling character in Bladerunner 2049.     

Gawr Gura Graduation

Gawr Gura will graduating from Hololive. People make jokes that 4chan went down because of this graduation. Well, it's a running joke that Gawr Gura usually makes an appearance when something is gonna happen. We joked she streamed on the same time as Niji events. Anyway, the graduation is a foregone conclusion. She rarely streamed. It seems because of her popularity, may be, she is being kept by Cover to stay. It's already five years and it's also a good time for someone moving on from one job to the other. The kayfabe maybe making fans upset and sad. However, looking from job perspective, it's a normal time. I mean 5 year is a long time for working in a company. So, let's get real here. We have the pattern here that the US-based Hololive EN girls are getting graduations. Yagoo said that Cover wants to build an office in the US. This office seems related to business prospect and not the vtuber studio. So, I think it's understandable that the girls having issue...
