Ink is Sailor Yurameku Seki. Bought in my beloved Stilo & Stile. This is my last purchase this summer, now my plan is to enjoy the pens and focus on improving my crap handwriting. https://sopuli.xyz/pictrs/image/12beaa80-3f36-43a0-9347-ef839cd2de19.jpeg

That's stunning! How are you finding the nib?

[–] Korvmedbrod@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

It’s very nice. I don’t have much experience with various nibs but I have another architect - Hongdian long knife. This one has more feedback and more variation between vertical and horizontal lines, Hongdian just glides and is wetter (more wet?). The whole nib is very large in comparison with the pen body and stands out.

That is a beautiful pen, and I love the nib! Your handwriting is not crap, by the way. It looks like the handwriting of an illustrator.

That is so kind of you to say! Can you see the actual photo? I can't!

It is taking sopuli.xyz a while to find the picture, but I can see it!

It had something to do with Docker gobbling up storage space and creating temporary files that filled the hard drive. That space got freed when I made the update, and now the nice-looking pen displays all fine!

I've been running a Hubzilla instance for years, so I feel your pain. Thank you for all that you do!

This is black magic to me. Thank you for everything you do for us!
