Hello!

On Friday, February 28, 2025, we exhibited at JID 2025 by ASCII STARTUP, held at Bellesalle Shiodome, right next to Hamarikyu Gardens in Tokyo.

Our exhibit centered on MotionVox™, our AI avatar video generation solution.

The official JID 2025 exhibition overview article is available here.

We would like to sincerely thank everyone who stopped by our booth, all the customers who met with us, and ASCII and the sponsors whose hard work made the event possible.

We take a one-on-one approach, walking each visitor carefully through our products. On the day, we introduced and demonstrated our latest features, but during busy periods there were many visitors we were unable to attend to—our sincere apologies. We will keep improving!

If you would like a demonstration or a business meeting, please feel free to contact us.

With so many companies exhibiting, we also took some time to go around and introduce ourselves. Connections with fellow exhibitors are just as valuable as those with visitors.

A compact venue, yet packed with exhibitors—26 AI companies took part

Booths were arranged alphabetically, so our neighbors were companies whose names also start with "Qu"—seating assigned in name order, just like at school.

During peak hours, many visitors came to our booth at the same time. Thank you very much!

Teardown completed successfully. We were the first to arrive and the last to pack up.

Hardening a Raspberry Pi 5: SSH keys, UFW, fail2ban — and the trap where IPv6 comes back after a reboot

A freshly set up Raspberry Pi 5 is wide open: password auth enabled, no firewall, 172 pending updates. We harden it with SSH key-only auth, UFW, fail2ban, and automatic updates, disable IPv6, and verify it all with real reboots — including the trap where IPv6 comes back after a reboot.

Setting Up a Raspberry Pi 5 Without a Monitor: From OS Imaging to SSH Using Only a Windows PC

Set up a Raspberry Pi 5 with no monitor or micro HDMI cable, using only a Windows PC. We use the Raspberry Pi Imager CLI and firstrun.sh to preconfigure Wi-Fi and SSH, with the full procedure and measured timings — about 3 minutes from SD card insertion to an SSH connection.

Developing a LINE Bot Locally: Solving the Ever-Changing Webhook URL Problem with a Fixed URL
