BEFORE YOU READ FURTHER !! This article is about a 18+ game rated game from Japan. There will be no erotic material showed in this article, but the game itself obviously does contain it. I obviously feel hesitant to post projects like this on my very professional website, but I believe this project is such a great feat of engineer that it deserved to be mentioned regardless. Polygon Love 2 Putting and blunty but also not going too much into it, Polygon Love 2 is a dress-up hentai game.http://jiyu.dev/projects/ss14/Mon, 19 Jan 2026 22:20:35 +1000http://jiyu.dev/projects/ss14/Space Station 14 tells the story of an ordinary shift on a space station gone wrong. Immerse yourself into your role, tinker with detailed systems, and survive the chaos in this round-based multiplayer role playing game. – The official Space Station 14 website. So I play this silly space game, like a lot. I also make nearly weekly videos for the community of this game to enjoy. I have been doing this for over 2 years now.http://jiyu.dev/projects/pestpectief/Thu, 17 Feb 2022 19:19:45 +1000http://jiyu.dev/projects/pestpectief/Pestpectief is a VR learning platform for teachers about bullying. With this platform, teachers learn how to effectively address bullying behavior in the classroom using virtual reality. This learning platform is used as educational material in various vocational and teacher training programs in the Netherlands. With a VR headset on, the teacher immerses themselves in a 360-degree video where they stand in front of the classroom. During the training, the teacher needs to observe bullying behavior in this virtual classroom, point it out using the controller, and indicate how they would respond to it in real life.http://jiyu.dev/projects/fediverse/Thu, 17 Feb 2022 22:15:45 +1000http://jiyu.dev/projects/fediverse/The Fediverse (a portmanteau of “federation” and “universe”) is an ensemble of interconnected servers that speak to each other using the ActivityPub protocol. This protocol allows various kinds of webapplications to interact with each other. If you have an account on one server (or “instance” as we’d like to them) you can speak to everyone on any other server. ActivityPub has many implementations for all kinds of purposes. For example:http://jiyu.dev/blog/update-and-important-announcement/Mon, 19 Jan 2026 23:55:22 +0100http://jiyu.dev/blog/update-and-important-announcement/The Update Oh no, it has almost been more than 2 years ago since I have last written anything on this blog. But I am back now! First things first. I recently got awarded “Most impact contribution” at the FSF40 Hackathon and won a Librem 5 phone as a prize. I am very thankful for everyone that helped me during the Hackathon and that my contribution got noticed by the jury.http://jiyu.dev/blog/gnu40/Fri, 06 Oct 2023 19:47:28 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/gnu40/Last week I went on a trip to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the GNU project. The event was jampacked with speakers from Nextcloud, the FSFE, GNU Taler, GNU Solidario, many contributors of the GNU project and of course Richard Stallman himself. © Théo Bondolfi 2023, CC BY-SA 4.0 This blogpost will be about the amazing week that I had in Switzerland and all the great people I’ve met. You can find more information about the event and videos of all the talks on the GNU 40 website.http://jiyu.dev/blog/website-update-06-11-23/Sun, 11 Jun 2023 16:30:20 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/website-update-06-11-23/The portfolio section of this website has been updated. There are now two articles available on: The Fediverse. Client project Pestpectief. These are by no means the only projects I’ve ever worked on, so I plan to showcase many more projects in my portfolio in the future. I have also been busy setting up an online store to sell stickers and other merch items for CDROM.tokyo. I can’t say when it will go live yet, but here’s a sneak preview:http://jiyu.dev/blog/the-benefits-of-free-software-for-your-organisation/Wed, 23 Nov 2022 20:18:32 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/the-benefits-of-free-software-for-your-organisation/Free software is software that gives you the freedom to modify, study, share and redistribute. I believe free software is only ethical way of issuing software, so Jiyu Software is a company that uses, recommends and provides free software solutions exclusively. Using free software solutions in your organisation has many benefits, like: All free software has unrestricted commercial use. Full control over your own and your customer’s data. You will never be stuck inside a proprietary “ecosystem”.http://jiyu.dev/blog/skewed-elements-in-css/Sat, 12 Feb 2022 22:42:48 +0100http://jiyu.dev/blog/skewed-elements-in-css/Rectangles are boring. Everyone knows how to make rectangles. The entire web mostly uses rectangles. Let’s make a cool parallelogram like the one you see in the top menu of this website. Don’t care about how and why? Just check out the full code here (you can save the page using Ctrl + S). 1. Create a rectangle First let’s start off by creating a boring flexbox rectangle. <style> .main { display: flex; } .http://jiyu.dev/blog/building-a-free-as-in-freedom-server/Mon, 11 Jan 2021 19:32:02 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/building-a-free-as-in-freedom-server/As may be brought to your attention in my previous blogpost everything Jiyu Software runs on completely free software. Today, I’d like to share the complete build process of the hardware that makes all of this possible. Picking a motherboard Because of non-free BIOS software the amount of hardware that is capable to run without any proprietary software is currently very limited. Any chipsets made by AMD after 2012 and any chipsets made by Intel after 2008 are already out of the question.http://jiyu.dev/blog/my-100-percent-free-computers/Sat, 02 Jan 2021 17:57:02 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/my-100-percent-free-computers/Even with a free operating system such as GNU/Linux most everyday computers still require proprietary software to function properly. Because this is usually required for things such as GPUs and Wi-Fi cards that people want to use, most GNU/Linux distributions ship with this proprietary software included. In order to exclusively run free software you will have to make sure that all of your hardware works without proprietary software. This is more than just ensuring compatibility with free operating systems and drivers, but includes running free BIOS firmware and CPU microcode as well.http://jiyu.dev/blog/welcome/Tue, 29 Dec 2020 14:32:02 +0000http://jiyu.dev/blog/welcome/This is the start of the Jiyu Software blog.
