#complete cloud computing tutorial

[alonelystargazer]

so if any of y'all have ever purchased e-books from Amazon, then you should log in to your Amazon account, and under your Content Library, download all your e-books to your computer and transfer them to your kindle reader via USB, or send them directly to your preferred device (if you have more than one connected to your Amazon account) via wifi by clicking "Deliver or Remove from this device" and switching the device you want to send it to

Once you've downloaded all your purchased e-books, not ones that are borrowed from Kindle Unlimited or Prime Reading, download the free Calibre e-book management software and this DRM removal plugin to remove the DRM (digital rights management) from your e-books, which converts your kindle e-books into the universal e-book format EPUB or whatever other ebook format you'd like, bc the Kindle ebook format AZW and AZW3, can only be used on Kindle readers, but by removing the DRM, they can then be used on any device that reads the EPUB format

BUT why should you do all this? bc on Feb. 26, 2025 (one week from now as of the time I posted this) Amazon will no longer provide this download option bc they're aware that people have been downloading their e-books from their kindle libraries and using software like Calibre to convert those e-books into EPUBs and not have to be tied down to Amazon's ecosystem, which makes them lose money (boohoo), and also the switch towards cloud-based storage

Basically, any e-books you have purchased from Amazon are not yours to own, you're essentially being licensed the e-book, so they can use this loophole to alter or completely remove those e-books from the website at their whim, and you would no longer have access to those e-books, even though you legally purchased them, which is wild bc we should be able to legally own, forever, any digital media we buy and do what we want with it, and this is something that has been happening with other forms of digital media like movies and video games, where you "buy" a digital copy but you don't actually own it

You should also stop buying e-books from amazon from now on since you don't even own them, and cancel your Kindle Unlimited subscription if you have one, and you might as well download any audiobooks you've purchased on Audible (which is also owned by Amazon)

[watch this video and this video for more thorough explanations about this issue and this video for a tutorial on how to use Calibre and the DRM ]

Alternatives to kindle readers include: Kobo (has integration with Libby) and Nook (from Barnes & Noble), or sell or donate the one you have if you don't want to use it anymore

Alternatives to amazon e-books: Libby (free app that links to your local library if you have an active library card where you can borrow ebooks and other digital media), Internet Archive, Project Gutenburg, 🏴‍☠️ ebooks and PDFs, and research whether your favorite author has books available to purchase directly on their website

....and you can always purchase or borrow physical books and other media as well! support your local libraries and indie bookstores!

TL,DR: this is a matter of media ownership, censorship, and archiving, so download your Amazon e-books NOW before Amazon takes away your ability to access the items that you legally purchased and locks you down to using their devices and ecosystem

FEBRUARY 26 IS THE LAST DAY TO DOWNLOAD YOUR AMAZON EBOOKS

Hello! I love your blog so much, you’re the first tech artist I’ve seen on tumblr and I’m so grateful for the tutorials and explanations you share for free and with such care. I was wondering if I could ask you for advice — I have to complete a large-scope school project that can be in any field of computer graphics as long as it involves coding. The thing is I struggle a lot with more technical and mathematical concepts, and I’d hopefully want to do something as visual/artistic as possible - do you have any ideas for what sorts of projects/topics could be the most artistically fulfilling? Thank you so much!

thanks so much!!!! while were here @krisp-xyz is another great techartist on here and if theres any more of you out there feel free to sound off in the replies...!!

i guess it mostly depends on what "large-scope" would be defined as... a few not super math intensive things i can think of off the top of my head are journeys sand shader , probably a few different grass implementations.. if i were in your shoes something fun might be to find an art style of an environment and try to find ways to replicate it in 3d space, i linked his portfolio before but something along the lines of some of the stuff over in harry alisvakis style exploration page might be fun !! that way you can combine different shader concepts into a single scene, like maybe a cute house in a grassy and flowery field with some nice fluffy clouds.. each one has their own little challenges that go with them and while it might not be the most original concept i imagine it would be fun

good luck!!!!

clip studio paint is driving me up a wall

do you use clip studio paint on windows? are you fucking tired of running out of storage space because you download a lot of materials and brushes? are your materials files stuck on your local c drive and you don't know how to move it?

making this tutorial because for some reason all other tutorials miss what you're supposed to do after changing the directory. btw, i use windows. fuck ya macos (i don't know how to help you guys)

close all clip studio programs and go to clip studio

2. go to the settings icon in the top right corner and hover over it. click on location of materials (p)

remember the address of the current location of materials.

3. create a new folder in your alternate drive/storage space. do not add anything in it. do not copy anything in it. simply write that new folder's address in here. click save changes.

now if you're like me and downloaded a ton of stuff, it's gonna take a while to load. it's transferring your document and material folders over. let it run. when it's complete, acknowledge and accept the popup.

4. CRUCIAL: after this step, delete the old "Document" and "Material" folders from the old directory (the address you memorized) (likely located in some address that has AppData (newer versions) in it or Documents (older versions)) (if you can't find this, turn hidden folders on in file explorer, AppData is a hidden folder).

when you try to exit out of this clip studio instance, it will also remind you to remove old files before closing the application. do NOT delete the CLIPStudioCommon folder. LEAVE the DB and other folders there.

before:

after:

5. after deleting the old folders, exit out of the clip studio instance. and you're done.

now you should enjoy like, a good 10 more gb of storage. at least for me. i'm enjoying that. also i use csp latest version 1 version (like 1.13 something idk) (i'll upgrade when they give me a free upgrade).

i forget if this is available for earlier versions but i did migrate csp across devices a lot, and that was a bunch of manually copying folders, which won't work for transferring between drives like this tutorial.

by the way if you're doing something like manually copying full folders over (like the old method of transferring csp between devices), you may find that your materials/organization structure is gone. you can go through clip studio and run both "Organize Materials" and "Organize Material Folders" to restore them to that tab in clip studio paint. at least when i was fucking around trying to find out how to put my materials on a different drive, i went through several iterations of backing up and copying back over 13.4 gb of data because i'd mess up One step.

disclaimer: i have not tried downloading new materials yet. i swear to fucking god they better download in my other drive. i am sick and tired of running out of storage. imagine being an engineer debugging code and then files on your computer start to disappear because your C drive ran out of space. happened to me!!!

no i don't know what will happen if you try to put these materials folders on a flashdrive. i think that's an "external drive" and there's some warning for that in the middle of this process. i feel like there's nothing wrong with that so long as you always plug that drive in when you use clip studio products or CSP at least.

if you encounter problems in the middle of this, i don't know how to solve them. i saw some people encounter problems when transferring the data over after changing the address and i don't know where their issues were (this issue seems to be because they installed CSP on D). this seems to be an article summarizing transferring csp across devices (both cloud and the old manual way)

discussion below:

my theory is that the DB folders are like a "database" that holds addresses towards those files and therefore need to stay in the C drive for. some godawful reason. i think i tried installing csp on my D drive before, but it would automatically create a new folder in users/documents in my C drive (in older versions).

after weakly changing this directory and not giving a shit for a while (idk when updates come out. it must've been a year or a few), they changed this address to Users/AppData/somethign/blah blah

i spend too much time trying to manage storage on my computer it's not healthy. anyways kudos to treesize the program for telling me that this entire time clip studio paint fucking updated and changed my meticulous structure to place files in places where there's space to it's shit default structure.

oh and i don't think there's a solution here but it's kind of informative on clip studio's organization structure?

first wacom, now csp. sai1 didn't work with my huion either. maybe i'm forever doomed to be cucked by japanese art products. come to think of it, micron pens hate me too.

nobody ever let me touch copics.

What Is Best for Graphic Design

Graphic design is everywhere — from the logos on your favorite apps to the posters you see on the street. It’s the art of visually communicating ideas, stories, and messages in a way that grabs attention and connects with people. But if you’re new to graphic design or thinking about diving deeper, you might wonder: What is the best for graphic design? Whether it’s tools, skills, or learning paths, let’s break it down in a simple and human way.

1. The Right Tools for Your Creative Journey

First things first — the tools you choose can make a huge difference, but don’t stress about having the most expensive software. It’s more about what feels comfortable and lets your creativity flow.

Adobe Creative Cloud (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign): These are the go-to tools in the design world. Photoshop shines when it comes to editing photos and working with pixel-based images. Illustrator is your best friend for creating sharp logos and vector graphics that scale perfectly. InDesign is ideal for putting together layouts for magazines, brochures, or any multi-page projects. If you're aiming to work professionally or freelance, getting comfortable with these tools can seriously boost your opportunities.

Canva: Perfect for beginners or anyone who wants quick, hassle-free design. It’s easy to use, web-based, and packed with ready-made templates—ideal for social posts, flyers, and fast creative projects without any complicated learning.

Affinity Designer & Photo:

A solid alternative to Adobe, these tools offer pro-level features with a one-time payment—no monthly fees. Perfect for creatives who want quality design software without the hefty price tag.

2. Skills That Matter More Than Fancy Software

While tools are important, skills and mindset matter way more. Here’s what you should focus on:

Basic Design Principles: Things like balance, contrast, alignment, and hierarchy are the backbone of any good design. Understanding these helps you create designs that look polished and professional.

Fonts aren’t just about letters — they set the mood, tone, and personality of your design. The right font pairing can make your work shine, while the wrong one can create confusion. Learning how to use type thoughtfully is one of the most powerful tools in a designer’s toolkit.

Color Theory:

Colors aren’t just pretty—they speak. They trigger emotions, tell stories, and set the tone of your design. Learning how to mix the right shades or play with contrast can completely change how your work feels and connects with people.

Creativity & Problem Solving:

Graphic design is really about finding smart, visual solutions to communication challenges. It’s about thinking outside the box, trying new ideas, and turning problems into eye-catching stories.

3. Learning Resources That Match Your Style

Not everyone learns the same—and that’s okay. Find what keeps you curious.

YouTube Channels: Check out creators like The Future, Satori Graphics, and Yes I’m a Designer for practical tips and easy-to-follow tutorials.

Online Courses: Websites like Udemy, Skillshare, and Coursera have courses ranging from beginner to advanced. Some are free, some paid — a mix works best.

Procreate:

If you love sketching or digital painting, Procreating on the iPad is a dream. It’s super intuitive, feels like real drawing, and gives artists a smooth, creative flow right at their fingertips

4. Hardware: What You Actually Need

You don’t need the latest, priciest computer to get started, but a decent setup helps.

Laptop or Desktop: A mid-range laptop or desktop with at least 8GB RAM and a good graphics card is enough for most design work. Macs are popular among designers but PCs work just as well.

Drawing Tablet: If you enjoy digital art, a tablet like Wacom or XP-Pen can boost your workflow.

Monitor: A good quality monitor with accurate colors is valuable if you want your designs to look their best.

5. Staying Inspired and Growing

Graphic design is a constantly evolving field. Trends change, tools update, and new techniques emerge. Here’s how to keep growing:

Follow Design Communities: Platforms like Behance, Dribbble, and Instagram are full of inspiration and can help you connect with other creatives.

Keep Learning: Always be curious. Explore new styles, try different software, and never stop experimenting.

Feedback: Share your work and ask for honest opinions. Constructive criticism helps you improve faster.

6.What Works Best for You?

At the end of the day, the “best” approach to graphic design is the one that fits your style, goals, and what excites you the most.

Want to work for big companies or agencies? Learn Adobe tools, master fundamentals, and build a strong portfolio.

Looking for quick social media graphics? Canva and some basic design knowledge might be all you need.

Passionate about digital illustration? Dive into Procreate or Illustrator, and make daily drawing a fun habit to sharpen your skills.

Budget-conscious? Affinity Designer and free online tutorials can take you far.

Final Thoughts

Graphic design is where creativity meets strategy in the most exciting way. The secret? Start small, master the basics, and pick tools that feel right for you and your budget. Above all, let your passion drive you and stay open to learning — the skills and tools will naturally come along the way.

I spent $1,200 building software on Replit…. 🧵

When I set out to build my software, I knew I needed a platform that was flexible, accessible, and beginner-friendly yet powerful enough to handle my ambitions. That’s when I discovered Replit, a cloud-based coding environment that promised to streamline the development process. Over the course of my project, I invested roughly $1,200 in Replit’s services, and the experience taught me invaluable lessons about coding, collaboration, and the value of a good development tool. Here’s my story.

Why Replit?

As someone balancing a busy schedule, I needed a platform that didn’t require me to spend hours configuring local environments or troubleshooting server issues. Replit’s browser-based interface was a game-changer — no downloads, no installations, just instant coding. Whether I was working from my laptop at home or sneaking in a quick debug session on my phone, Replit kept my project accessible.

Replit also supports a wide range of programming languages, from Python to JavaScript to HTML/CSS, which was perfect for my project. I was building a AI-Powered web app to manage tuition payments for a School I was working with. Replit’s built-in collaboration tools, version control, and hosting capabilities meant I could focus on coding rather than managing infrastructure.

The Investment: Breaking Down the $1,200

Over the course of my project, I spent approximately $1,200 on Replit. Here’s how that investment broke down:

Subscription Plans: Replit offers free and paid tiers, but I opted for a premium plan (likely the Pro or Teams tier, depending on your needs) to unlock features like boosted computing power, private repls, and advanced collaboration tools. These were essential for running a large data tuition management platform. A Pro plan costs around $20/month, so over, say, 12 months, this accounted for a chunk of the budget. Cycles for Compute Power: Replit’s “Cycles” system allows you to purchase additional computing resources for resource-heavy projects. I used Cycles to scale my repls for faster API responses. This was particularly useful when testing and deploying my software, though costs added up during intensive development phases. Custom Domains and Hosting: To give my project a professional touch, I invested in Replit’s hosting features, including a custom domain for the app’s frontend. This incurred additional fees but was worth it for a polished user experience. Team Collaboration: I also paid for a Teams plan to collaborate with four colleagues who helped test and refine the code.

While $1,200 might sound steep, it was a fraction of what I would’ve spent on dedicated servers, software licenses, or even a high-end development laptop. Replit’s all-in-one platform saved me both time and money in the long run.

The Highs: What I Loved About Replit

Replit made my development journey smoother in ways I didn’t expect:

Instant Setup: I could spin up a new project in seconds, complete with pre-configured environments for my chosen language. This was a lifesaver when experimenting with new features or debugging. Collaboration in Real-Time: Replit’s multiplayer mode allowed me to work side-by-side with colleagues to fix a bug. It felt like pair-programming in a virtual coffee shop. Community and Learning: Replit’s community is vibrant, with tutorials, templates, and forums where I found inspiration and solutions. I even stumbled upon a Python library that simplified my database integration. Deployment Made Easy: Hosting my project directly on Replit was seamless. With a few clicks, my app was live, accessible to my client, beta testers, or potential clients.

The Challenges: Where Replit Fell Short

No tool is perfect, and Replit had its limitations:

Cost Creep: The $1,200 I spent crept up over time, especially with Cycles for compute-intensive tasks. For hobbyists on a tight budget, this could be a hurdle. I learned to monitor my usage closely to avoid unexpected charges. Learning Curve for Advanced Features: While Replit is beginner-friendly, mastering its advanced features — like integrating with Cursor — took some trial and error, but the Replit docs eventually saved me.

The Outcome: Was It Worth It?

After months of coding, debugging, and tweaking, I successfully launched a fully functional AI-Powered Tuition Management platform. The $1,200 I spent on Replit was an investment in more than just code — it was an investment in my skills, confidence, and vision.

Replit empowered me to take an idea from a rough sketch to a working product without getting bogged down in technical overhead. The platform’s flexibility allowed me to pivot when needed, collaborate with others, and deploy my project to the world. Most importantly, it reminded me that building software is about creativity and persistence, not just technical know-how.

Tips for Aspiring Replit Developers

If you’re considering Replit for your next project, here’s what I learned:

Start with the Free Tier: Test the waters with Replit’s free plan to see if it suits your needs before committing to a paid subscription. Leverage the Community: Replit’s forums and templates are goldmines for troubleshooting and inspiration. Experiment Freely: Replit’s low-stakes environment is perfect for trying new languages or frameworks. Don’t be afraid to mess around!

Final Thoughts

My experience with Replit was transformative. For $1,200, I didn’t just build software — I built a deeper understanding of coding, collaboration, and problem-solving. Whether you’re a beginner dipping your toes into programming or a seasoned developer looking for a lightweight solution, Replit is a powerful ally. My project is live, my skills are sharper, and I’m already brainstorming my next Replit adventure. If you’re ready to turn your ideas into reality, Replit might just be the spark you need.
