I've always used FA as my main place to post my finished work, but I also have bsky marsyl.bsky.social! I will be glad to see you there!

I'm also thinking of creating accounts on other platforms in the near future and publishing my work there!

We have another blackout, with new blackout schedules, only 2-6 hours of electricity per day. I am still looking for an iPad (of course I would like to take a new one with pencil pro but I definitely don't have enough money for it :( ) if you want to support me financially, you can order a commission from me (the approximate cost of 1 character will be 60 USD), or buy one of the active or inactive “unsold” YCH

We have another emergency power cut, which will prevent me from working normally. I don't know when it will stabilise.
I'm very sad because I just felt the strength to start painting again...

Unfortunately, I still haven't bought myself an iPad to draw autonomously..

My hdd(Seagate BarraCuda HDD 1TB ST1000DM010) on which I kept all the art started to die, I managed to transfer everything related to my work to a temporary disk, now I need to urgently buy a new disk to transfer other important files from the dying disk (yes, of all the important files I transferred everything related to creativity because they weighed the least, there is still 640GB of information on the disk) Seagate BarraCuda HDD 1TB ST1000DM010 is dying, it started to make very strange sounds, I hope it will survive the transfer of files to a new disk (which I still need to buy, I think I will try a ssd for storing work files and buy a hdd for storing photos and other archival information that does not require frequent intervention)

If you have experience with some HDDs and SSDs, I would be happy to hear your recommendations!

UPD: I decided to take two Kingston 480GB and Kingston 960GB SSDs

I didn't rejoice for long, as the antivirus warned me that it had found 10 viruses. This is terrible, I checked each of the installed discs with three antivirus programmes, but still something remained😭😭😭How exhausting it is for me...

I finally scanned all the disks for viruses!
I was terribly burned out with these gimmicks, but I'm really glad that I can finally get back to my computer
Thank you all for your support!

I bought a new ssd drive and installed windows on it! Now I just need to check the other drives for virus residue and check the files for functionality!

Perhaps my computer problems will not be so important anymore, because due to the russian missile attack, we had a strong power surge and part of the city was left without electricity.

For the first time during the war, our house was shaking so much that it felt like we were in some kind of a terrible attraction.

I just found out that my Instagram account was hacked.

Tonight I will receive a laptop from which I can properly update all important passwords and try to restore the system

I hope to solve most of the problems before the new year...(6 hours left)

Hi!

My computer was infected with a Trojan virus. It is so bad that it does not even boot the system, I can't just reinstall the system because I have some important files on the system drive.

I already have a plan to save the data, but I need to buy an ssd. I hope that important files were not damaged I don't know how long it will last unfortunately I won't be able to paint in the near future.

It looks like my 2024 is not going to start well...

I wish you all a good new year

Hello dear friend!
I'm in a moral slump right now, which is why I'm taking a break from painting. Now I am actively working to resolve this issue.
I hope to resume painting soon.

Also, my good friend is stuck in Germany with her mother and her disabled grandmother...

*Sounds of depression and anxiety*

Hello! My good friend and her family need help finding accommodation in Germany in the state of Hessen!
You can contact her by writing to her in telegram or by e-mail INACTIVE!@gmail.com !
Also, if necessary, she can provide photos and videos of the conditions in which they live at the moment!
Please share this journal
Here is her story:

" My name is Yulia (Julia). My family consists of three people - mother and grandmother. My grandmother has a heart condition, severe arthritis in both knees. Because of this, she hardly walks. She also has cataracts. She is practically blind. At the same time, she is only 70 years old, but there is no opportunity to cure her in Ukraine and simply formalize her disability.

While in Ukraine, my family received a lot of information from the media and other people's stories about how Germany welcomes our refugees. We have heard and read that Germany is very helpful with housing, medicine and learning German for further employment.

However, in our case, the situation is different. We arrived in Germany in Hannover at the end of March. We were assigned to the land of Hessen and sent to a camp in Giessen. It was assumed that there we would already be drawing up documents and getting a residence permit. Three weeks later we were told that we were being sent to a permanent residence in the city of Heppenheim. When we arrived, we found out that there was no residence registration. We were simply assigned to Hessen. From Heppenheim we were sent to another camp with a package of documents necessary for registration. The camp is located in the village of Groß-Rohrheim. There is no hospital in this village and there is no opportunity to treat my grandmother due to the lack of a hospital and insurance for her.

In the camp, we were told that we were here only for the period of paperwork and we would not be here for a long time. This is temporary housing. We have been in the camp for two months now.

We live in a large warehouse pavilion. The pavilion was divided into small cells, approximately 3x4 m. People are settled in these cages. The pavilion is not ventilated. There is no ventilation. The concrete floor is uncovered. Concrete dust rises from the floor, which we breathe. Coughs don't go away for all of us. There is no first aid station in the camp. The guidance of the camp says that there never was a first-aid post, and there never will be. If it does disagree someone, guidance promise to transfer to a worse camp in Bensheim. There are no washstands for common use in the dining room. To wash your hands before eating, you need to go outside, walk 30 meters to the toilet and wash your hands there. There is no soap in the toilet. Half of the toilets don't work. The rooms themselves are very dirty. There is also a shower, which is also in poor condition. Directly opposite the dining room is a dumpster. The dumpster container is designed for bulky waste. They take it out when it's full. It fills up within a month. All the food waste that gets there rots and stinks under the sun. Flies are bred in the container. All this stench and flies fill the canteen, which is located 30 meters from the container. We eat, inhaling the smell of garbage, and are forced to fight off a swarm of flies. Just the other day, it was such that copulating flies fell into my food. And today my grandmother found two dead flies in the local oatmeal. After that, she refused to eat in this dining room. Now she's just starving. We support her in this and also stopped eating. Because sanitary standards apply throughout Germany, except for the camps (when we first arrived here, we were told that this is the best camp of all the nearby ones. I don’t even want to know what is happening in other camps).

All our documents were prepared and sent by the staff of this camp. Mom and I got all the paperwork done fairly quickly. But for the person who needs these documents the most (especially health insurance), the local Sozialamt for some reason took too long to process them. They also made mistakes in spelling the last name ... I'm talking about my grandmother. Due to this mistake and the delay in the registration process, she still does not have health insurance. Without medical insurance in hospitals, doctors do not even want to talk to patients.

We also faced another problem when we started looking for an apartment... Residents of Germany are reluctant to rent out housing to Ukrainians, who are provided by Germany through Jobcenter. I don't know why they are afraid of us. In addition, Jobcenter has set limits that we cannot rent housing less than a certain footage. Even if this apartment suits us. For this reason, we are limited in choice. Complicating the situation is that the grandmother hardly walks. Therefore, an apartment is needed or on Ground floor, or the building must have an elevator. And we are looking for an apartment in the city with a hospital to take care of her health. And health in the conditions in which we now find ourselves is deteriorating every day. And without food, she will not last long. However, such unsanitary conditions in the dining room are fraught with an epidemic of dysentery.

After three months of living in Germany, we got the impression that, contrary to the state program of assistance to refugees from Ukraine, conditions are specially created so that people cannot stand it and return to Ukraine. Under shelling. "

Today the dam of the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant has been destroyed by russians, and this is a very dangerous situation and an enviromental disaster.
I am very concerned about this, so I asking for your attention.

[Upd]
Problem seems to be solved
Thank you all for your help!

My computer started behaving strangely.

(Now my workplace is still a computer, so I'm nervous about it.)

It all started after I was deceived and sold low-quality memory strips.
Blue screens started appearing due to memory errors after I had been using the computer for a while. When I checked the strip right after the blue screen, they gave a lot of errors, but after a few minutes of rechecking, there were no errors.
I replaced the bar with an old one and everything worked fine, but yesterday I spent the whole day trying to find the cause of the problem.
The day started with the fact that the computer, despite the fact that there were no updates the day before yesterday and nothing strange happened, started its startup with "preparing automatic recovery", I waited an hour, it did not start, after that I rebooted it several times and finally it was able to start, the first thing I did was check my ssd, it was in good condition with 74٪ before wear. I decided that it was just a glitch and it was solved, how wrong I was, at one point the whole system started to behave strangely and everything that was open glitched and did not allow me to do any actions, this happened twice, after that I was able to restart the PC, the problem disappeared again, I was able to re-save the work because last time it did not save despite the fact that I had saved it. And then I turned off the computer and it didn't want to shut down, the buttons didn't work, through the command line shutdown didn't work either and it didn't shut down, I decided to restart it through ctrl+alt+delete, I succeeded but, it went into an endless restart, I waited ten minutes and restarted it through the button and it went into an endless windows boot again, just like in the morning In the end I turned it off through the button and will continue to deal with it when I wake up.

I also did a quick scan for viruses and another scan (not a full one because I didn't have time for a full one), the quick one didn't find anything, but the second scan deleted some files, but it didn't change the situation, tomorrow if I can I'll put it on a full scan of the PC

[UPD]
27.05
Today the computer took a long time to start up and the internet was lost during startup, but when I unplugged the internet cable it came back. Now I will try to do some tests, maybe they will give me an idea what the problem is.

This morning started with explosions. Permanent blackouts may resume. (If you want to help me somehow, you can read this journal - https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10399045/ )

On the good news, my cat's kidney stones have completely dissolved!

Hello! The electricity situation in my city has started to improve a little bit, and we haven't had any blackouts lately.
But despite this, I continue to save money for the iPad!

I am very grateful to everyone who has helped me in these difficult times. Thank you!

A little bit about my cat:
We have completed the treatment and she is much better! But now she eats special food.

I received power banks and a power supply, their delivery took a little longer than I expected. https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50746222

The quality of the mobile communication has greatly deteriorated, so it was decided to connect an optical fiber and completely abandon the idea with an LTE modem.
My provider said that either in January or February my house will have fiber optic and they will be able to connect me.

Now I am focused on fulfilling the orders that I received not so long ago, as soon as I fulfill them I will update the data about the amount collected, I hope to collect on the iPad in the near future so that now I do not spend money on an uninterrupted power supply for the PC.

I can work a little at a time, but the power outages make it very, very slow, and sometimes the work progress gets rolled back.

I am very grateful to everyone who supports me!❤

Yesterday, in addition to the terrible destruction of a civilian building, one of the Thermal power stations was also destroyed, the situation with electricity can worsen at any moment.

Now I have found a router, but I need time to think, because I am not sure where exactly to order it, power outages slow down the whole process a lot. Also, on January 20, power banks and power supplies should arrive to me.


I also want to remind you that I am open to commissions. (Later I will make a normal price list)

My prices are now:
Headshot - $30
Half body - $45
Full body - $60

Background from - $30

You can write to me on account of the order in Notes!
Before writing to me about the order, I advise you to familiarize yourself with my TOS

Another missile attack on Ukrainian cities.
Damaged or destroyed civilian objects...

https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/10443906/

We have again a deterioration with electricity, shutdowns are more frequent and longer, they say it's all because of the weather.

I have already chosen the modem that I want to buy, I am not yet sure which antenna to take, I hope that in the near future I will be able to buy a modem and choose an antenna.

The power bank and power supply unit will arrive a little later, around January 20 (Before that, they should have arrived on January 16)

As long as there is light, I try to make orders that I have. If I manage to update my portfolio now and take more orders, I think I will be able to earn enough money to buy an iPad.

But because of the shutdown, I can't work normally, I would like to buy a UPS (Uninterruptible power supply) for more peace of mind, so that during the shutdown I have time to save files. But I don't have time to find enough information on how to choose the right one, and which UPS are better and more convenient to use.
From the very beginning, I did not plan to take UPS because I hoped that, despite the shutdown, I would be able to raise funds for the iPad quite quickly.
But after several times the light was turned off during work, and I lost the work I had done, I understand that UPS would have helped me a lot.
But for now, I plan to work without UPS and try to make money on the iPad. To draw on the iPad in the future.

The cat has already gotten better, but the doctor still said to give injections for now.

It turned out to buy medicinal feed!
She is still not well, but we have already started comprehensive treatment and her condition should improve in the near future!

The urine tests came, the cat has urolithiasis and cystitis, in the evening we gave her an injection because she was badly again, tomorrow I will have to find a place to buy special food for the fastest possible treatment. I hope at least some pet stores are open after the new year. The store where we usually buy everything for the cat can deliver food only on the fourth of January...

There is no New Year's mood at all.

Today, while I was sleeping, my mother and the cat went to the veterinary clinic.
In the nearest clinic, doctor was passive and not very interested in the situation, so they went to another clinic that was suggested to us.

Mom is very satisfied with the veterinarian who examined the cat. They did an uzi (now a cat with a bald belly), one of her kidneys is inflamed and enlarged, there is sand in the urinary tract and it is at the stage when it can already turn into stones. They also submitted urine for analysis. Unfortunately, everything is as we suspected, the vet injected her with medicine, now the cat feels better. We will give another injection tomorrow, but we will do it ourselves, because until the tests come, we need to ease her condition.

My relative has received my power banks and power supply unit and will send them to me very soon! More details here - https://www.furaffinity.net/view/50.....oad-successful
