Using Ubuntu 22.04/Windows 10.
I have 3 hard drives, one with the Windows 10 OS, one with the Ubuntu 22.04 OS, and a shared third drive that I mainly use for storage partitioned using NTFS.
Things I have looked up so far:
SFTP file server guide I have looked up:
https://tecadmin.net/setup-sftp-server-on-ubuntu/
Change permissions on NTFS drive to allow user to login:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/11840/how-do-i-use-chmod-on-an-ntfs-or-fat32-partition
Specific answer I tried to use:
https://askubuntu.com/a/91054
Current Error message in /vaauth.log when trying to log in using sftp command:
fatal: bad ownership or modes for chroot directory component "/media/windows/"
Current setting for /etc/fstab: UUID= /media/windows ntfs-3g auto,users,permissions 0 0 where is the UUID for the appropriate device.
Current SSHD Config:

Match User sftpuser ForceCommand internal-sftp PasswordAuthentication yes ChrootDirectory /media/windows/sftp/sftpuser PermitTunnel no AllowAgentForwarding no AllowTcpForwarding no X11Forwarding no 

Problems I'm having and do not understand what I am doing wrong:
Despite following the AskUbuntu answer, I cannot change the permission of the sftp files folder to... anything else.
And I am also getting the error message above.
I do not understand what I am missing, and I don't think I'm asking the right questions to get my answer on google. Any help is appreciated.
(The reason I am trying to get sftp working on this drive is because it is my largest drive.)

^{Last Updated: 05/28/2023 01:44:35 AM EDT}

Hi, I just started modular a couple of months ago. My first "module" was a Behringer Neutron, a system that I really enjoy. I started adding additional modules; a Befaco Rampage, o_c, vca's and a couple of filters. This is my modular so far, I dont expect getting bigger than 6U 84HP.
Im pairing this rack with a Volca sample to make techno and a Keystep Pro for sequencing. I do enjoy making basslines from one of the Neutron VCO and run the other one through filters for a melodic voice, but I think Im missing an additional voice, something for chords (maybe).
As it can be noted from the image, I have a 14hp oscilloscope which can be removed to allow an additional module (it can be run from outside the case).
I've been watching a lot of videos of Plaits and Im about to pull the trigger, but Im a little scared I wont have enough modulation for it. My other option is a Qu-bit Chords v2 or a wavetable such as an MCO.
Would it be a good idea to pair my system with a Plaits? Should I be looking for something different?
I do plan, in the long term, removing the Neutron from this case, to its own case, in order to add/replace the drum/percussion from the Volca sample with eurorack modules, but not bigger than that.

^{Last Updated: 05/28/2023 12:16:16 AM EDT}

I signed up a new email and gifted game time from my main account to set up a bank account. Leveled the orc through the starting area and reached Orgrimmar at level 11. All I have ever done on this account is send gold from my main account to this one and few Dragonflight recipes which I can sell on AH. I kinda log in once a day to just repost if i have been undercut. I had around 990k gold when I got abruptly banned for the reason " The Battle.net account has violated the Blizzard End User License Agreement. As a result, this Battle.net Account and all associated game accounts have been permanently closed. "
I have never had a single chat on trade, never cursed anyone, never even played much on this as I only login to collect the gold I mailed to this bank character. Since this is just a bank account, I log in directly with username and password and not through Battlenet client. Is any of what I explained about a bannable offense?
Also trying to appeal but since battlenet is banned I could not login to create support ticket. Figured out a way to create a ticket but I get no confirmation or unable to track the ticket again once I submit it.
Any help on this is much appreciated.

Do you want to update the firmware of your Netgear wireless range extender to its latest version but are not able to because you are unable to log in to it? Well, this issue is faced by not just you but several users out there. Worry not. Walking through the troubleshooting hacks mentioned in this article will help you to fix Netgear WiFi extender login issues. Just make sure that you do not skip reading any hack discussed.

Apologies this is late, I completely lost track of the date/time difference!
Disclaimer: I am very grateful to have had a lot of parental assistance over the years and also have serious mental health diagnosis, both of these flavour my money choices heavily (e.g. private healthcare and lack of car loan/insurance)
I am also heavily pregnant so please excuse any baby brain related errors!
​
START SCENE
Retirement Balance: $62,000
Equity: $35k of a $680k property, we bought our 3 bedroom apartment last year using my parents’ equity, so no deposit was required.
Savings account balance: 20k - a lot of health/baby related costs have come out of it lately!
Credit card debt (and how you accumulated it): $800 which I pay off each monthly pay, if it wasn’t for the grocery rebates I’d consider getting rid of it.
Student loan debt (HECS): BA in passion/fun area, then IT/Accounting degree, very proud to say I am down to my final $19k!
My husband P earns around $90,000 in healthcare but can be more with overtime, he has around $30k in super and his HECS debt is due to be wiped out following our recent election so won’t be including that.
Section Two: Income
Income Progression: I had been working in retail full time after loving full time work instead of uni, until my transition to IT so started as a retail casual worker on $30k 10 years ago and changed to IT 6 years ago, jumping from $55k to $95k in that time, mostly through promotions, 1 company merger and 2 company changes.
Main Job Monthly Take Home: I am paid $5200 monthly and P is paid fortnightly at $2400 to $3000 depending on his shifts. Both our pay excludes tax, HECS payment and medicare levy, his pay includes salary packaging.
Section Three: Expenses
Mortgage: 3150 (locked rate until next year, pending interest rise)
Savings contribution: $500
Donations: $25-75 a month mostly to various MH organisations
Electric/Council/Water: 400 (we’re currently overpaying ahead of Mat leave)
Internet/our mobile phones: $320 (we’re currently overpaying ahead of Mat leave)
Subscriptions (Newspapers (NYT, SMH), Youtube, Xbox, online backups/cloud, VPN, pregnancy app, Amazon Prime, Netflix, Bitlocker, UberOne, Spotify Duo): $110
Private Health insurance: $420 for Top CoveTop Extras + pregnancy
Car insurance: covered in my parents plan, our car was a gift from my parents
Regular therapy: Psychologist $220/fortnight and psychiatrist $280/quarter
Transfer to P for things like fuel: $500
7 Day Money diary:
Thursday:
5am
I’m staring at the ceiling while the baby kicks my kidney, P snoring next to me, contemplating my existence. I’m trying not to start ‘the list’ run through in my head (buy milk, have I booked my next blood test, where is my winter coat, etc).
5.30am
Give up on sleep and get up for the day, I make a weak coffee for me and a regular coffee for P (I like the taste of coffee, weak lets me have 2-3 cups throughout the day without hitting my pregnant caffeine limit) and start packing up my lunch and bags for work. It’s OB day so I won’t be in the office until 10am today.
9am
After a dance party in the car we’re at the OB, all good news and another list of final scans and tests, we’re now in the downhill run! I pay for my last half of (private) OB management fee since we’re passed 28 weeks now. ($2500 (Medicare rebate soon: $580))
Stop at a bakery to treat myself before work, danishes are the breakfast of champions! ($12.00)
2pm
Last vendor meeting of the day, and i’m ready to take a nap. I’ve decided to spend the rest of the afternoon working on my handover document, I’ve only got 8 weeks to go before Mat leave!
3pm
Text my psych to convert our Saturday afternoon to a Zoom call, I’m not up for extra waddling to the train this week.
5pm
Spend the train ride home working on my crackhead baby spreadsheet (colour-coded, multi tabbed, shopping list, meal prep list, etc) and researching baby items.
P meets me at the station to grab my bags and we walk home, well he walks ahead and I move at a more stately pace.
7pm
Crawl into bed with a bowl of pasta and Ambulance UK on the iPad, kitten at my feet, older cat at my hip. Eventually P awkwardly maneuvers around blankets, my pregnancy pillow and cats.
11pm
Spontaneously adding to my online chemist wishlist of things I need for post birth and hospital bag. Cats and P grumble when I once again get up to pee, pregnancy feels so glamorous now.
Total: 2512.00 (pending MR)
Friday:
6am
Wander around the apartment with coffee in hand and contemplate the nursery layout options, I’ll measure it all tonight and make a floor plan so I can visualise it better. After boarding the train, I scroll through my due date Bump Group on Discord and catch up on the topics, many of the mum’s are NA based so the chat pops off 12am - 4am my time. I message a few friends and my bestie spams me with tiktoks. We tell a few dark MH jokes and I try not to laugh on the train.
8am
Arrive at the office, coffee number 2 in hand and I jump into a few Teams chats with various groups, including my manager and counterparts in another city’s office. They’re in a different time zone ahead of us so they flag any issues that started earlier our time and I’m grateful.
1.30pm
Where the hell did today go? I’ve barely left my desk and can’t believe the amount of firefighting I’ve been doing today, following up vendors, coordinating fallback solutions for outages, soothing ruffled feathers and talking team off the ledge in stressful situations.
I’ve definitely not eaten enough today and decide to place an ubereats order instead of raiding my mini fridge stash - Subway it is! ($18.97)
I spend my lunch break reading my latest pregnancy/birth book (The Complete Australian Guide to Pregnancy and Birth) and it’s honestly my favourite one I’ve read so far. I’m also a big fan of the podcast the authors run. I have queued up this week’s episode for the trip home as the mum featured has a similar mental health issue to me and I’m excited to hear her journey, also to get ideas for things to raise with my care team.
5pm
Security protocols kick us out of the office building and I am thrilled to escape! P picks me up from work since he’s off today, and my hips and feet are very grateful. There’s a quick stop in at Coles for pizza ingredients, milk and the very essential choc chip waffles. ($46.94)
Once we’re home P feeds the cats and unpacks while I get started on the bases, my birthday present last month was a KitchenAid and at the rate I’m going the cost per use is coming out pretty damn good! I leave the base to rise, pop my feet up and do my nightly blood pressure (127/82) which I log into my health app. I also add my weight from yesterday’s OB appointment and I'm thrilled to say I’ve stopped losing weight now the suspected HG has finally settled.
7pm
Take several brag photos of my pizzas #homemade and settled in front of the TV with blankets, footrest and P. I do send P back to the kitchen twice for serviettes and my water bottle, but once I’m settled, I’m not bloody moving.
I queue up the latest Top Chef (International All Stars Season 20) on Plex and get ready to support my fellow Aussie! P grumbles about my fixation with Top Chef, but all he gets is side eye in response. It’s a great episode for creativity, he even admits the winning dish is impressive. He vanishes the second the episode’s over for his office and a rewatch of the extended, super, mega, special edition of The Hobbit. I move on to Ambulance UK and annoy him over text with questions about the medical terminology being used.
8pm
Bedtime with a heat pack as my back is killing me! I try to convince P to come to bed and hold it against me since bubs is not allowing stomach laying anymore.
8.30pm
Success! P is helpfully holding it against me while I finish the episode and scroll the Iconic. Oh no! There’s now Stanley cups on there, I add it to my wishlist and promise myself I’ll think about it first. I want to also be a chic put together Stanley cup girlie!
Total: 65.91
Saturday:
3am
Back scrolling the Iconic and on a hunch check my credits (after rage returning maternity clothes a few weeks ago) and bingo there’s a credit there. I play around with wishlist items and stacking discounts, there’s a pale pink theme developing between the pink pregnancy overalls and the Stanley cup.
3.30am
Screw it, I’m ordering (10 points if you can guess what room of the apartment I made this order from) and it’s all due this afternoon except the pregnancy belt I've been grumbling about wanting. ($14.95)
9am
P brings me coffee, the kitten and the statement that he’s approved our Medicare Safety Net balance (he’s our primary family member) which means the rest of our refunds will be great going forward!! I’m very excited for 90% back on out of pocket costs for most medical things from now until December. Between my mental health and pregnancy I’ve beaten my normal record of September for the max you can pay OOP.
12pm
I’m sitting on the floor in the nursery trying to sort out piles of tiny clothes and remember to get P to help me off the floor before he heads to work. I head to the kitchen and start the bread process, I make our bread from scratch every weekend and the KitchenAid has made this sooo much easier. I decide one x1 wholemeal seed bread for P and x1 rosemary focaccia for me. Once they’re rising I head off to bed for a nap before therapy this afternoon.
3pm
I made myself some tea and washed my face to prepare for therapy as I woke up from my nap feeling like I was on another planet. I head into my office, no no now the nursery, damn I slightly tear up at the thought of my nice office now being a small desk in the corner. Well that can be another topic for my session today!
3.30pm
My psych and I go over all of the last 3 weeks worth of appointments with my health team and what my next steps are. I need to sort out my postpartum stay referral and lock in when I’m starting my top up meds. We talk through some of my work frustrations (not clear cut sexism but a level of obliviousness some of male managers are showing) and how I’m tracking mood/symptoms wise across the pregnancy. We’re both very aware that the final few weeks of pregnancy and the accompanying hormones can cause serious issues, so we go over warning signs and coping mechanisms. We go over the difference between ‘normal pregnancy feelings’ and my mental health condition feelings.($220)
4.30pm
Session done and my bread has all risen nicely despite the cold weather, I start the baking process and contemplate dinner. P is at work until 10pm so I’m on my own, which means all the Top Chef reruns and Ambulance UK my heart desires! I have a craving for spätzl so dig that out of the cupboard and defrost the schnitzel.
Iconic delivery!! I am officially a Stanley cup owner! I ordered the original, not the soft matte because Tiktok told me to, so I’m hoping I’ve made the right choice. Something about cold water through a straw just hits the spot. My glittery Starbucks cup looks on in disgust.
10pm
P finds me at my desk working on my spreadsheet of crazy, I mean baby, and is impressed but also too tired to focus on it now. I hear him calmly explain to the kitten that he can’t join him in the shower but he isn’t entirely successful.
We get into bed and P puts headphones in so I can drift off faster (or because I threatened more Ambulance UK? We’ll never know!).
Total: $234.95 (pending MR)
Sunday:
4am
And I’m up early again, my passenger is apparently an early riser these days which leads to me looking down and asking for more sleep “pleeeeease!” I try 37 positions and try to get comfy before finally drifting off again.
8am
I steal P’s dressing gown (mine’s now got an awkward gap due to the bump) and start the coffee process, the kitten joins me after finding a piece of plastic to pinball around the kitchen with, I am not coordinated enough these days to dodge him so I remove him and plastic to the living room.
I’m craving an egg muffin so I cook some sausages, eggs and toast english muffins and enjoy a mindless tiktok scroll while I eat.
12pm
I’m surprisingly tired after doing nothing all morning and head back to bed for a nap. I really hope the tiredness isn’t a sign my illness from last week is back! I’ve got a support group meeting in a few hours so I set an alarm.
2pm
I join the support group Zoom and immediately hear about how many people are sick or recovering from some flu or cold thing. There’s a lot of bugs going around at the moment! I meet some new people who have the same disorder or same ‘family’ of disorders as me and I update the group on my pregnancy journey. I really bond with 2 of the new ladies and I offer my email up to both to keep in touch before next week’s meeting.
5pm
I’m happily browsing Facebook Marketplace for baby things when Mum calls, she’s been shopping for baby (uh oh) and is excited to tell me about it. Amazingly she’s bought a bedside bassinet very similar to the one I was planning on buying secondhand and a safari themed lamp for the nursery. She’s also ended up with a high chair for their house on the coast and a bunch of themed fabric for swaddles, pillows, etc.
Total: 0.00 thanks Mum!
Monday
7am
I wake with my alarm for once, which would be odd except for how awful I feel. I end up deciding to call in sick, the flu thing that knocked me around until early last week appears to be back. Pregnancy means lots of cold/flu meds etc are not an option so I can’t soldier on. I alert my manager, set my team up with urgent tasks, chuck my OOO on and crawl back into bed.
A few things debit like SMH and Youtube (accounted for in monthly expenses above)
10am
I open my phone to a flurry of emails on my personal account, OH! It’s healthcare cover day! We have finished all our waiting periods and the beacons are lit! Let the floodgates of services and information begin! Our hospital and health fund both email to welcome me to their online learning platforms.
11am
A nice lady from our health fund calls to give me the spiel. I'd normally be wary about what all these amazing services are going to cost, but it’s all covered! She tells me about the learning platform (Nourish), the sleep clinic calls I’ll get after the baby's arrival and the welcome pack I’m going to be mailed. I get my login details as soon as we hangup, another fun thing to explore tonight once I’m feeling human again.
P is amused by how excited I am for all this information, he does caution me against over planning/over researching which is something I’ve been working on with my psych. I struggle to find a good balance between planning for problems and over planning to the point of stress. It’s a work in progress. I suspect I’ll always have issues with control/over planning.
4pm
I’ve napped most of the day, dealt with 1 urgent work issue and am now getting access to the hospital’s learning platform (Cradle). I'm grateful they’re short 5-7 minute long videos so put some on the iPad while I make tea and toast before deciding to tackle the nursery again.
7pm
Mum calls about more baby things - they’ve bought me a change table!? I’m slightly annoyed then I’m thrilled - it’s a brand I like that’s normally $400 ish for $30 at auction yesterday (a Sunday afternoon family hobby). They've just collected it, they’re going to sand and paint it for me in a nice green for the safari nursery. Another thing ticked off the baby spreadsheet.
Dinner tonight was heated up leftovers, I’m too tired for cooking.
Hmm blood pressure is high, I hope this is just sickness related and log it in my app.
8pm
Bed time! Despite sleeping all day I am exhausted and pass out almost immediately.
Total: 0.00 thanks again Mum!
Tuesday
11am
I’m in the office however I cannot tell you what I’ve done today, it’s all a blur and when I sit down with my ipad to make notes for this money diary my brain goes blank. I scroll through my sent emails and can see I’ve sent 26 emails (herding a difficult vendor, setting up meetings for later in the week, submitting my sick leave for yesterday and setting up a new starter orientation). I make another coffee and realise the mini fridge hasn’t been restocked (because I am the one that stocks it each week sigh). I jump online and do a grocery order - yogurt, cheese, salami, tomato paste, sliced bread, babybel cheese, apples and several juices) (52.00) it’s due in next 2 hours.
1pm
I make myself toasted sandwiches and try not to eat the entire packet of babybel. My work lunch group tells hilarious stories from their level of the office and it’s a nice escape from my level’s workload.
2pm
I send off my psychiatrist's referral for my private postpartum care stay (1-3 weeks long) and check it’s all covered with my health care fund (it is!). The private place I’ll be staying at calls me to check in, advise me of next steps and to give me my tentative booking date of 1 week after birth. I’ve got a spare 20 mins so do my intake assessment with them over the phone and get the all clear to be accepted in a few weeks. I’ll get another assessment 2-4 days after I give birth just to make sure I’m still a good candidate. I look over the welcome pack, what to bring lists and advice on partner overnight stays that all hit my email when I hang up. I forward the relevant bits to P and jump back into work.
5pm
An afternoon of meetings meant I did no deep/focus work or work on my handover, but I accept that and move on. I top up my Opal card for the week (50.00) via the app and it’s loaded by the time I’m tapping on the train. I’d normally account for this in the expenses up top but my train trips are very sporadic right now due to pregnancy waddle, so I’ve been carpooling with coworkers and P has been collecting me if his shifts line up along with the occasional UbeShebah.
5.15pm
I’m pinged regarding a site issue and it looks like the site is down. I jump on via my phone and iPad while on the train, I also start my time tracker for out of hours work. I scrap the conference call between my team and the vendor at 6pm and instruct the site to rollover to fallback mode, my team member gets them online again. I email my manager a quick update and switch back to tiktok scrolling. I’m really enjoying not having to fight for a seat most train trips now since I’m so visibly pregnant!
6.30pm
P meets me at the station again, is horrified that I’m dragging 3 books, several cups to wash, my coat (I overheated on the train) and my iPad around in multiple bags, he snatches it all and we start the walk home.
He’s made bolognese and it is the best smell to walk into after a cold day! I smother mine in cheese and prop my feet up to depuff. Then I puppy dog eyes at him and he agrees to Ambulance UK, we’re now in the London seasons and I’m loving the big city vibes. He still cringes at the medical sounds, but takes the time to explain how these patients would be treated at his hospital after their ambulance trips. I enjoy his commentary and it adds a background I would never normally know about.
8pm
I take my blood pressure and it’s high for the 2nd night, I’m a bit concerned but trying not to stress. It’s not 160/100 aka get your butt to ED but it’s still over normal. I log it in my health app and make a note to monitor it and call the OB if it’s up again tomorrow.
I message a friend about his opinion of epidurals (since he does them all day) and ask for the dumbed down reality check, he’s been an amazing support this pregnancy so I know he’ll give me a great answer, and he replies back with all the pros/cons as well as the common issues and how they get fixed. He reminds me to ask my OB since I’ve got pregnancy hypertension, it’s likely I would almost benefit from that common side effect and I make a note in my phone to ask at the next appointment.
Total: $102.00
Wednesday
5am
Coffee, kitten pats, older cat snuggles and then a small cry because I forgot to wash my preferred pregnancy leggings. I thankfully remember I’ve got an onsite vendor meeting today so don’t dress like a potato! I still wear Stan Smith’s but a cute knit dress and scarf up top so I look presentable. I bathe in embryolisse cream after washing my face (fun pregnancy fact - you can develop dry skin patches that make you look like a lizard!) and actually put some makeup on (Charlotte Tilbury base, YSL touche elcat, innisfree powder, lancome mascara and CT blush) followed by Replica’s By the Fireplace perfume. Ready for battle!
7am
On the train scrolling through the morning reports, I’m relieved to see all systems are reporting green after a few small hiccups yesterday. I move onto discord and catch up the overnight conversations in bump group.
9am
Quick catchup with my team and then I spend the morning preparing for the big cross time zone/country catch up with all IT team leads also updating my WIP tracker. I obviously then forget to save it and rage stomp off to the kitchen to make conciliation coffee.
I rage shop for KitchenAid accessories but don’t actually buy anything and my manager comforts me over teams.
12pm
I’m wrapping up in person site meetings to see a bunch of messages from P, he’s grocery shopping and querying baby wipe brands. (One of the best tips I got was to buy a pack of nappies and wipes each grocery trip to build your stockpile so it’s not such a shock, since newborns go through 10 nappies a day!). I reply but I’m a bit late and he finishes in Aldi, Coles and the butchers for the next fortnight (389.23). I’m getting very over this cost of living price increase on basic things like milk. He’s a smart shopper so I know that he didn’t overdo it.
3pm
I’ve taken my blood pressure a few times today and it keeps coming back high. I ring the OB’s office and book in for tomorrow morning (spoiler: my blood pressure meds are increased and I’m asked to check in with my pregnancy nephrologist sooner)
4pm
What the hell is this debit? Oh it’s the meal delivery service I forgot to suspend this week, guess we’re going to be a bit overstocked on food this week. I’m just going to class this as idiot/baby brain tax. (69.95)
5pm
P collects me and I have a small cry in the carpark, he’s had the baby capsule installed and driven to collect me with it so I can see it. Things are starting to feel very real now! I practice removing it and carrying it up to the apartment when we get home.
Leftover bolognese for dinner and we do separate screen time. I head to my computer after a bit to review my spreadsheet, since P has smashed out a bunch of things today in Baby Bunting. Nappy bin, capsule + install and baby bath are all ticked off! I get the receipts off our emails to log the costs (375.16)
7pm
Mexican bowls for dinner and we decide to try out the new RPA reboot that’s recently come back to TV (from the 90s!). I honestly hate every minute of it, the talking heads are really cringe and after the gritty realism of Ambulance UK (and Nurses Down Under) I can’t cope with it. We switch over to Ambulance UK after 1 episode and discuss deleting the rest. I was also really disappointed by how “doctor focussed” it was to the point where the nurses and allied health professionals (physios, ambos, etc) were cut out of certain shots, but you could still see their hands or shoes, that’s just not reality in Australian healthcare they’re the people patients see 90% of the time! Okay getting off my soapbox now.
8pm
I start my out of hours tracker and handle an issue for a site 3 hours behind me, in the end the onsite team and I get our part done, one of the vendors does not. We decide to tackle it tomorrow and a flick off a complaint to our account manage regarding this vendor rep. I notice a few of my counterparts are all in a teams call in their timezone and realise they must be cutting over a new system since it’s so late their time. I make a note to not bother them first thing tomorrow since they’ll likely all be start late.
9pm
Yep blood pressure is still high, so I’m glad I’ve got the appointment booked for the first thing tomorrow. P takes it for me twice just in case I’m doing something wrong with the cuff but unfortunately it’s still high. I’ve finished my new pregnancy book and I would recommend it to any Aussie mums or dads to be out there, P even flicks through it.
Why are both cats trying to sit on me? Oh we forgot to feed them! I sort them out and all is well again in their world.
10pm
My glorious bed calls me to me and I bundle myself up in the blankets, scroll through tiktok and happy cry at birth videos.

REFLECTION:
Besides the health care costs, this is a pretty normal week for me! I’m obviously thrilled to hit the Medicare max as this makes things so much easier with health care costs. I feel really relieved to know all my future costs are being covered by private health or what isn't is at a higher rebate now. Seeing my hospital estimate last week (before private health covers 95%) was really confronting and made me briefly reconsider my choice to go private, but the things that are now covered by health fund are amazing and worth nearly $30k over the first 3 months of the baby's life (especially if we end up needing special care nursery).
I’m pretty impressed about how many wtf and ffs I say in real life that I’ve removed from this diary. I find the Aussie approach to swearing can be a bit relaxed haha, so I did my best for you guys!
The impact of the baby brain is very real, aside from mental blanks at work, I had to check things like my subscriptions and ask P a few times, since so much of it is bpay and auto-debit, I don’t pay attention to it! There’s a few charges we have always had historically like tolls and ubereats that we’ve cut way back over the past few months.
I'm also considering a "what it costs to have a private baby in Aus" as well as a follow up in a few months once I've settled into Maternity Leave life (minimum wage, not my current salary) because tracking was fascinating and I'm a data hoarder.
Happy to answer any questions in the comments if I've explained something poorly.

Hello, everyone, and hopefully the wider internet who didn't know about Rayark beforehand. I am a big fan of DEEMO and am new to this Cytus subreddit. This post is to clarify what is going on currently with Rayark and the use of A.I. tools, and clearing up some critical misinformation that threatens to poison the discussion with typical post-truth rhetoric.
I attempted to cross-post this from the truedeemo reddit, but I was not allowed to. Hopefully, this post is allowed regardless. If not, I apologise.

Background

As of this moment, there is a negative reaction towards Rayark for not only using A.I. image generation to create illustrations of low quality, but also supposedly firing their artists.
This claim is most commonly perpetuated through this tweet, which cites to a tweet citing this Korean tweet saying (DeepL), "The company that fired the entire art team to use AI is coming sooner than I thought". Another originating point of the discussion was from this tweet and the cited thread beforehand, which itself cites a Yahoo article talking generally on Cloud Computing A.I. in Taiwan, which the CTO of Rayark was invited to comment.
The claim is also being backed by a tweet from the former Art Director of Cytus II, Ching Yei, who's English tweet can be viewed here. Cbotme is being used as an example of an artist frustrated by the use of A.I. in a narrative about Rayark firing their artists.
As a result of these tweets, a narrative has been created where Rayark is firing their artists for A.I. image generation. Common interpretations of quotes from the Yahoo article include the CTO wanting to replace the traditional team-based collaboration model in favor of A.I. doing the work instead. Firing expensive wage or contract-based artists in favor of cheap A.I. image generation tools is also another interpretation for quotes on improving efficiency, reducing costs, and increasing profits.
The narrative is anti-capitalist and rightfully considers the ethics of A.I. in game development and how it affects Rayark's employees. However, there is some extreme misinformation that needs to be corrected quickly before the entire discussion about Rayark and A.I. use is poisoned, and legitimate reasons to be frustrated at Rayark are overshadowed by post-truth rhetoric.

Is Rayark Replacing their Team of Artists for A.I.?

The answer is no, as of current public knowledge. How this conclusion came about could be from two specific paragraphs in the Yahoo article. I was given a human-made translation to further aid my comprehension of the quotes, but Google Translate and DeepL were more than satisfactory. The following were translated with just Google Translate.

Rhea Games Chief Technology Officer Zhong Zhiyuan pointed out that generative AI has had a great impact on the game industry. For example, in the past, the idea of ​​a game or the elements it wanted to make were all completed through the joint efforts of various professionals. However, now through Image-based AI generation will soon enable a module to be realized. He believes that in the short term, the game industry will be able to see a certain level of efficiency improvement due to generative AI. In the future era of AI prevalence , the production cost of many content is reduced, the profit will increase, and the entire content industry will become more competitive, but relatively terminal users will experience more and more advanced games. - 雷亞遊戲技術長鐘志遠指出，生成式AI 對遊戲業衝擊非常大，像是過去想要完成一個遊戲的 idea，或者想要做出怎樣的元素，都是經過各種專業人員合力完成，然而現在透過圖像式生成AI，很快的就可以讓一個模組付出實現，他認為短期之內可以看到遊戲行業因為生成式AI帶來某種層度效率上的提升，在未來這個 AI 盛行的時代，許多內容的生產成本降低，利潤就會增加，整個內容產業更加競爭，但是相對的終端的使用者會體驗到更多更進階的遊戲。
In terms of the game industry, Zhong Zhiyuan believes that those who are unwilling to accept changes in the AI ​​​​era, or who are still unable to fall into the "good" range, may eventually lose their competitiveness. For Rhea, he is still waiting to see how generative AI will affect the entire game industry. In terms of talent standards in the future, he thinks it will be a very natural evolution. He cited as an example 20 to 30 years ago when computers were popular. At that time, new employees would test typing and pinyin, and some companies even tested typing speed. Now, typing is a common ability. In the long enough future, AI will eventually It will be integrated into the society, and in the end, it may be the same as drinking water, which is everyone's "daily life". Then of course, the way the company judges talents will not be the same as in the past. - 在遊戲產業方面，鐘志遠認為，身處 AI 時代不願意接受變化、或者始終無法落在「好」的範圍的人，有可能最終會喪失競爭力。以雷亞來說，目前也都還在持續觀望生成式AI對整個遊戲產業造成怎麼樣的影響，而未來在人才的標準上，他認為就是一個非常自然的演變。他舉 20~30 年前電腦盛行時期為例，當時的新進員工會考打字跟拼音，甚至有些公司會考打字速度，而如今，打字就是一件稀鬆平常的能力一樣，在夠久的將來，AI 最終會融入在社會當中，最後可能跟喝水一樣，就是每個人的「日常」，那麼當然公司在判定人才的方式，也就不會跟過去一樣。

The idea of Rayark wanting to abolish the traditional system of teamwork for A.I. image generation comes from the notion that a new module of production will come to the industry as a result of A.I., and those who don't jump on now will lose their competitiveness. However, this notion does not in any way suggest that the artists at Rayark are being fired for A.I. tools. Rather, it is more likely that Rayark is encouraging (or pressuring) their employees to adopt A.I. tools and the "communicator" they had recently hired (source: original link archive). This pressure is to ensure Rayark and their employees remain competitive in a possible future where A.I. tools actually do dominate the industry. This notion is evident by the CTO's example of employees being tested on digital literacy skills at a time where digitization was sweeping the work industry. The digital society is now the modern day. Rayark believes that building digital literacy skills for A.I. tools is the same kind of progression as the digital computer, and therefore, are preparing for its possible future.

Is Rayark Sacrificing their Artistic Integrity for Greed?

While the CTO says nothing about the artists being fired, he doesn't mention how Rayark is keeping their artistic integrity. The CTO has a clear focus on reducing costs and driving profits, and we are seeing poor-quality generated illustrations that rightfully upset us and scream shoe-string budget. But what exactly is happening at Rayark? Unfortunately, we do not know what Rayark plans to do with this supposed "new module" and what they are currently doing to maintain artistic integrity. The end results matter to the costumer, not the process or intent. Therefore, we can be rightfully be upset about the final illustrations.
What I can say, however, is that the simplest explanation can suffice for now until actual information from former and current employees in-the-know clarify things for us. With game development, there are various costs, such as employee wages, subscriptions to stuff like Adobe software and Google's Cloud, Slack chat, and so forth. As production continues, more of this money is spent in the hopes that a return can be made. The CTO is suggesting that the efficiency of A.I. tools can shorten production time, which naturally means less money spent, naturally meaning an easier time seeing returns. The less time it takes to reach the baseline quality expected of Rayark, the better. This scenario is supported by a similar talk to the CTO from the actual CEO of Rayark, Ming-Yang Yu, with the ChatGPT example (Google Translate).

Rhea Games CEO You Mingyang discussed how AI will change the game development process from the perspective of the game industry. For example, the composition of game products includes characters, props, icons, as well as the production of game advertisements and login pages. Through cooperation with AI, the development speed will be increased by more than 100 times. For example, you can let ChatGPT generate the moves of the character (such as the tricks of the witch), or provide the characteristics of the character, let it generate prompts/spells that can be drawn by AI, people only need to think and be proficient in how to communicate with AI, and the new job For example, "AI Communicator" was born. You Mingyang pointed out that with the assistance of AI, the workflow will change. In the past, the production of game characters usually consisted of deciding on the character design, drawing a draft, and finally finishing the draft. Now you can directly use AI to finish the draft after deciding on the character settings, and then adjust the character settings. "The time for reshuffling is coming, and companies that fail to keep up with the introduction of AI will be eliminated." - 雷亞遊戲執行長游名揚則從遊戲產業的角度討論，AI 會如何改變遊戲開發的流程。例如遊戲產品的構成包括人物、道具、icon，以及遊戲廣告、登入頁面的製作等，透過與 AI 協作，將使開發速度提升百倍以上。 例如可以讓 ChatGPT 生成角色的招式（例如巫女的招數），或是提供角色的特徵，讓它生成可用 AI 繪圖的 prompt／咒語，人只要發想以及熟練如何跟 AI 溝通即可，而新的工作如「AI 溝通師」因此而生。 游名揚指出，有 AI 的協助，工作流程將產生變革，以往製作遊戲角色通常是決定人設，繪製草稿，最後完稿。現在可以決定人設後直接使用 AI 完稿，再來調整人物設定。「重新洗牌的時間即將到來，沒有跟上 AI 導入的公司將被淘汰。」

Does this sound greedy? To the end user, the end product matters most. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that Rayark is being greedy because A.I. image generation posted on their social media and used in their games (mainly Cytus II) means that despite the quality issues, it is "good enough". To Rayark, it is possible that the quality issues being noticeable was unforeseen, especially for their newly hired A.I. communicator. Perhaps, there's a quality assurance issue, as Echo with the 6th finger in the 3.0 promotional image was deleted and edited out after, among other A.I. issues that could be quickly fixed. Because we don't know what is happening, we cannot assume what Rayark is doing to remedy the problem, if they are.

Are the Artists at Rayark Leaving Due to A.I.?

The answer is that we do not know yet, so we should not claim it is happening. The biggest example cited at the moment is Cbotme, a former employee at Rayark, being angry due to the use of A.I (English Twitter Weibo). However, despite the tweet intending to communicate the information in Korean to their English audience, some important context was missing. Cbotme is Ching Yeh, a former Art Director at Cytus II who left the company years before A.I. tools were in the public consciousness. Rather than being frustrated as a victim to A.I. tools, the frustration is at their previous hard work being soiled by A.I. tools. Therefore, Cbotme is not an example of an artist leaving or being fired by Rayark due to A.I. tools. Regardless, their opinion is perfectly valid, just not contingent to the actual employee situation at Rayark.
Another example I could find of a song artist for Cytus II was Kurokotei, who made Honeykill. They also tweeted their frustrations about A.I. being used by Rayark, and they also think A.I. is a genuine threat to artists who make a living out of art. This is also a perfectly valid concern, but it is not contingent to the actual employee situation at Rayark. That is the distinction that needs to me made clear: As of this moment, we do not know if artists at Rayark are leaving due to A.I.

How do the Employees/Artists Feel about Using A.I.?

The biggest issue with the discussion of this controversy is that the employees at Rayark, former or current, are likely under a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) and, therefore, can't answer our questions for legal reasons. The purpose of an NDA is to ensure trade secrets are kept under wraps, but it also prevents everyone but PR teams to speak for the company, as the careless actions of an individual can damage the reputation of a company.
There are examples of former employees expressing their personal frustration at Rayark for using A.I. tools, but there is next to no information about the exact details of how the tools are being used, how the employees feel about using the tools, if there have been rebellions against the use of A.I. tools in the company, if there is any bad blood between the employees and management, and so forth. Office politics is infamous in every company for being complicated, secretive, and making the public feel powerless in invoking change in a company.
Therefore, due to the lack of actual inside information expressed from recent former and ongoing employees, we can't claim that the employees, especially their artists, are suffering due to Rayark, that they are at risk of being fired, that they are being forced to use A.I. regardless of artistic integrity. It is genuinely frustrating, especially for me, who wants to be on the right side of history. This leads me to my next heading: about how misinformation which I described comes to be in the first place.

How Did Misinformation Get Spread About this Controversy?

Modern-day Rayark does not have the best reputation. DEEMO II's launch was utterly disastrous, with two big examples of failure being the gameplay LAGGING for a rhythm game, and FOMO'ing songs being sold at inflated prices. Cytus II is argued passionately by JOEZCafe to use almost every psychological trick in the book to frustrate and scare players into paying for the game. This includes but is not limited to making players fear being spoiled in communities they talk about the game in, if they choose not to buy the latest character pack with important story elements. Don't buy the pack for the story, can't talk in the community anymore. Implosion ZERO_DAY is a Kickstarter project that reached the funding it needed, but the anime film is yet to receive any release or even an update since 2019, borderline scamming people who invested into the project. Cytus II for Android users also wiped everyone's save during the 4.2 update, with many losing years of progress. Rayark's apology? One paid song pack. These are just a few examples of Rayark screwing over players deeply. Naturally, a lot of people will hate Rayark and want the company to be punished.
Not only is Rayark hated for just a few of these issues by many people, but many people also hate the possibility of A.I. taking over jobs, especially those for the art industry. Various reasons include A.I. art being soulless, rampant with ethical issues like using copyrighted works without permission. Though the benefits of using A.I. image generation have been recognized in work, outcry about what the technology means for one of the most human-associated professions is perfectly understandable. To see Rayark using A.I. image generation, talking about how a "new module" is imminent regarding traditional teamwork collaboration, how the adoption of A.I. will benefit business without mentioning anything about artistic integrity, and how people and companies will be "eliminated" if they don't adopt the technology now, is a perfect recipe for disaster. Not only will you have people with a personal vendetta against Rayark, but now people with a vendetta against A.I. art enter the mix. The last thing left was an accidental misinterpretation to set the fire, and people would create a fiction that fits every negative connotation possible: An incredibly capitalist company who only cares about money, no longer cares about producing good quality work, and is now sending artists out into the street because they're no longer economically viable.
It's a very gripping narrative that should mean the downfall of Rayark, the punishment they deserve. However, the actual reality of the situation is significantly less extreme. Rayark is not firing their employees. They're not being replaced by A.I. Those expressing their frustrations had already left the company before A.I. was in the public consciousness. This means there's some leeway for Rayark to wiggle through and not meet their downfall, as upsetting as that is to some people who call for their games to be pirated, that the company should never be supported again, and other calls for Rayark to crumble. It's post-truth rhetoric, where emotional content is more important than the actual facts at hand, a fact that would have been seen by visiting the original Yahoo link, reading through the article, not relying on secondary sources like Tweets, and considering a balance of what's good and bad about Rayark's current decisions.

What is Going to Happen Now?

The next few days, weeks, months, or years are going to be interesting. It is entirely possible that everything I said would be completely proven wrong by a sudden surprise appearance of a Rayark employee telling us the entire situation. Maybe Rayark themselves actually give a response. Maybe we never find out anything, and the entire controversy is forgotten. Regardless of what happens, what is important is keeping a healthy discussion about the topic. To keep a healthy discussion, we need to make sure we carefully do our research, consider alternative explanations and rationales, and criticise Rayark for things that actually do exist and happen. That is the overall point I wanted to make with this post as I continue to see singular tweets being spread around without the context required to understand them.
Please feel free to share anything that answers the headings in this post. Are there verified examples of Rayark firing their employees due to A.I.? Is Rayark intentionally sacrificing their artistic integrity and are driven by greed? Are the artists/employees at Rayark leaving due to the company's direction? Are there any other examples of former and current employees expressing their feelings about the situation? What would also be the reason that the misinformation continues to be spread, and if my interpretation of the Yahoo article is wrong? Please let me know amongst yourselves. I would love to see actual, genuine examples of Rayark being evil. If there is actual evidence, use it to destroy Rayark with all your might. Just make sure it is real. That is what's most important to a healthy discussion about this controversy.
I hope this post helped everyone get up-to-date about the situation, including those who didn't know Rayark beforehand. Thanks for reading!
