Hi, you can call me jan Aki. My pronouns are left as an exercise to the reader
@tinfoil-ball is my "reblog dump". This blog is for original posts and when I say stuff
I only like posts when I want to save them (historic posts/posts I really like), so I recommend going through them cause there's some good stuff in there and I'm actually pretty proud of it
Minecraft! I usually play ssp or do redstone*. I'll sometimes play on Hypixel, 2b2t, or MCCI though. I also love niche facts about it. For example, there's an option that lets your character be left handed (which I take full advantage of), and the large fern item is arguably rarer than notch apples
*With redstone, I'm mostly interested in computational redstone. I have built a basic computer that I hope to improve at somepoint. I also dabble in other stuff like doors and farms, but it's mostly just computational redstone right now
Rubik's cubes and cubing (15s with CFOP, 20s with roux). This and minecraft are probably the things that I'm the least normal about
Photography (I have an Unsplash account linked in my linktree)
Mathematics! I wanna be a math(s) teacher, but I feel like I'm just a hobbyist right now lol
Technology. Just, in general lol. I use Linux Mint, I like retro gaming, and want to get more into programming. I currently only know python as well as the basics of C/C++. I like trying to learn how things work and using that knowledge to fix (mostly software) issues. It's like a fun little puzzle
Juggling! My current focus is learning 5 balls and getting better at 3 clubs. After that, I think I wanna get into siteswap
toki pona! sina wile la, o toki pona tawa mi!
lojban! I'm still Very New, but I'm working on it
Actually I'm taking a break from learning Lojban because I'm from a very monolingual place and think it's a better use of my linguistic interests to learn a natural language. Anyways, the punchline here is I'm learning Japanese (again, still Very New)
Memory! I have a numbers PAO system but it isn't perfect and I'm not very familiar with it yet. I'm also working on getting better with names and faces
Stenography! I'm learning lapwing theory and use the splitography. I'm pretty new though
Conlanging, though I've yet to finish making one. In that same area, also worldbuilding and neography. This one's also shelved for the same reason as above. I still consume conlanging/worldbuilding/neography content, but I probably won't make anything in the near future
And probably a bajillion more things. As you might be able to tell, there are a lot of things that I've looked into but haven't quite gotten into
Games I like include (in no particular order) Liero, Portal 1 and 2, Minecraft, Horizon Zero Dawn, Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes, Stardew Valley, Skyrim, Celeste, Subnautica, and Trackmania
Games I want to get into/am in the middle of my first playthrough include Rainworld, No Man's Sky, Subterfuge, 5d Chess With Multiverse Timetravel, Civilization VI, Ocarina of Time, Horizon Forbidden West, and Titanfall 2
Oh, and I also like Komi Can't Communicate, RWBY, Bocchi the Rock, Gravity Falls, Hololive, Hermitcraft, the life series, and the Arc of a Scythe trilogy. I'll also sometimes watch MCC
I didn't make the userbox
If this user eated soap. They dont eat it bc they did. No they didnt ❤️

A chipmunk managed to get into my house while I was the only one home. I managed to get it out relatively easily though, which is nice
It was a really weird experience seeing something smaller than your cats but the same colour as your medium-sized dog when you're just chilling on the couch and not expecting to see a chipmunk inside your house

also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.
it has a gigantic counterweight towards the top to reduce swaying, which is kind of necessary for any very tall building, but its out in public view and painted gold and you can see it like, swinging around
Maybe if someone posted a photo of this building not covered in dark fog and shot from an ominous angle, you would see that actually she is very friendly and beautiful.
You could certainly make all buildings look evil given that angle and lighting. Observe this, brother.

i wanna see more stories with a time skip epilogue where at least one character has clearly transed their gender and it isnt really remarked upon. bonus if none of them were remotely hinted to be trans until that moment because i think it'd be funny to watch a fandom react to that. your blorbo's happily ever after involves being a woman. dont worry about it.
Did you know? Tumblr DOES have a post length limit. Strangely, though, it's based on how many blocks of text you have. Supposedly this implies that you can have any length post so long as it's one block of text? Very strange, will have to investigate further.
Two limits! You can have a maximum of 4,096,000 characters in 1 [one] tumblr post. I would work out how many combinations this is, but 26^6,000 is already considered to be "Infinity" by most calculators, and a program I wrote threw an error code.
26^95,000 is already over 134,000 characters long - which would take 33 different text blocks to convey via tumblr. Whenever somebody says we're running out of posts, don't forget that tumblr is needlessly designed for MASSIVE amounts of information [no matter how detrimental it may be for mobile phones].
There are SOME works of fanfiction which are lengthy enough that you couldn't fit the whole thing into one tumblr post, but this is enough to fit Hitchikers Guide To The Galaxy in it about 14 times over.
The Lord of the Rings is generally my go-to measuring stick for "long-ass pieces of text", so I must additionally point out that, if written out optimally, about 2 full Lord of the Ringses would fit into one Tumblr post, apparently.
Though I'm not certain if that character count includes spaces, unfortunately, as I got that figure by googling "how many letters are in lord of the rings" and came upon a TikTok that counted the number of letter characters in LotR in order to figure out how many Spaghettios cans would be needed to re-write the entire thing, if one were to cut and paste each individual letter from the cans blackmail-letter style.
For those curious, the numbers are 2,261,081 letters in LotR, which calculates out to 8,795 cans of Spaghettios needed, which would cost about $12,225.
What a way to start my day. The internet truly is a beautiful place.
Hey! Guy who programmed most of the core pieces of the editor here!
So, those are the theoretical limits, yeah. But in practice, the editor is not even close to be optimized to handle these kinds of huge posts: there is a point, far far away from the size of the lord of the rings, that your browser would just crash.
So if you are planning to post long fanfiction, or anything, you better work on something that's optimized for long form (locally, or some alternative to Google docs) and then post in chunks.
So no, Tumblr is not designed to support these massive posts. It's theoretically possible, but that never was a real scenario we were trying to support
I'm honestly very curious of what it would happen if someone tries something like using the API to post the entire Lord Of The Rings. I would assume the request would timeout, but it would be a cool test to run. Anyway, if it works, anyone trying to reblog that post would just insta-kill their browser :D
oh yeah, almost a million characters, 365 text blocks, and the editor is handling it pretty well
Honestly, it works way better than I expected! I guess being plain text and not having to render any fancy formatting is enough for a modern browser to handle it well. Reblogging it took a few more seconds than usual, but went through too. Good job tumblr!
I just tested on my Android phone and it froze the app for about 30 seconds, but when I thought it was going to finally crash, it actually loaded the blog and started working normally
Yes, someone asked me to add a tag so they can filter it out, and I tried that over from the web interface.
For the first post (first book only) there was no issue. Edit loaded, I could add the tag, press Save and done. Note: this was on a PC using Chrome
For the second post (all three books) it worked the same way as the API. I could load up the page and edit it, but when pressing save I'd get an error message. However the edit did go through actually and the tag is now there.
Haven't tried to edit the text itself, but don't think it would make a difference - if your browser can load it'd just work.
(On mobile on a low/mid-range Android the App could open up the post without problems, but haven't tried editing. Using a mobile browser - Firefox in my case - the page could load but it was super slow, and buggy, and it also did crash once)
Also as a public service announcement: if you want to filter the post out from your dash the tag is #full-lotr-test
Also if anyone is interested I loaded up the entire LOTR trilogy in TXT file, then wrote a code that split it out into NPF (Neue Post Format, you know the new PDF or whatever) blocks of at most 4000 characters, then simply called the Create Post API with the resulting NPF block. I believe there's around 900 blocks in the second post above, each block containing somewhere between 3000-4000 characters, so close to the theoretical limit
That's interesting, opening it in the editor means that you don't only have the rendered html version, but also the JSON object containing all the blocks. I would expect it to at least stutter a little.
I tested it again from the android app, and scrolling through the post is really painful: it freezes the app for a few seconds every time you scroll an entire screen... So yeah, I think it would take hours to scroll through the entire thing . So anyone reblogging it is probably earning an unfollow from their beloved mutuals if they want to be able to use Tumblr at all that day 😁
