It's just Marcan being weird and creepy.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoMarcan is very busy with a lot of other things, like upstreaming patches to the Linux mainline and improving platform support. He's been clear that he's not Asahi Lina... and he's also not a GPU hacker as far as I know.
- riceart 4y agoWhat’s your deal? What a weird denial.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoI thought it must be him, but saw where he denied it publicly on Twitter, so I took him at his word.

- _wf2l 4y agowhat's your deal? what weird attempt at doxxing, this shit shouldn't be allowed here.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoIs identifying a silly VTuber as a well-known person considered doxxing?
- Kuinox 4y agoYes.

- Mike_12345 4y ago> He's been clear that he's not Asahi Lina You cannot be this gullible. "Asahi Lina" is a pseudonym for Marcan.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoGuess I am.
- Mike_12345 4y agoLOL. To be fair, his behaviour is extremely weird so I don't blame you for being confused by his insane bullshit, as I was at first.
- ranger_danger 4y agoproof they're the same person (screenshot from one of their livestreams): https://0x0.st/H-Uq.png https://0x0.st/H-Uq.png /home/marcan and /home/lina on the same box.
- dragonwriter 4y agoHaving profiles on the same box may lend credibility to claims that they are the same person, but its very much not proof of that.

- monocasa 4y ago> and he's also not a GPU hacker as far as I know. I'm not really willing to indulge the greater discussion, but marcan has done some serious GPU hacking before, reverse engineering the microcode (not shaders) of the PS4's GPU to fix bugs that the PS4 hacked around in the drivers.
- realjhol 4y agoAsahi Lina has the same spanish-sounding accent as Hector but pitched up and falsetto. "raider" - the hostname of the developer machine is that same as the hostname of Hector's machine. He even did a super-cringe "take over" video, where Asahi Lina "broke into" one of streams: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk
- TimTheTinker 4y agoShe said she did that by using his stream key which she somehow obtained from his computer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk&lc=UgzNfomvdiD0jEP_2Rh4AaABAg.9_NrXA00t2-9a5Ag764eO4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=effHrj0qmwk&lc=UgzNfomvdiD0j...
- realjhol 4y agoWell then it must be legit. Who among us hasn't accidentally leaked a cryptographic secret key to a screeching vtuber who has the exact same accent as we do.
- TimTheTinker 4y agoOk ok you've got a point. I'm probably too naive to take someone like Marcan at his word.
- Mike_12345 4y agoYeah so that's called a joke.
- chrismorgan 4y agoEven if you had the stream key¹, I wouldn’t expect you to be able to take over a stream with that kind of clean cutting from marcan to loading throbber to Asahi Lina. Without any knowledge of what YouTube Live actually does about conflicting input streams, I would expect the takeover to (a) be instant, (b) fail, or (c) produce a garbled mess. What the thirteen second throbber delay would be adequate for is starting up whatever software you need to play the part of Asahi Lina. I have no specific knowledge, but it seems very clear to me that at the very least marcan is a collaborator in the persona of Asahi Lina; and absent further contrary evidence, them being the same makes sense. —⁂— ¹ And if stream key exfiltration actually happened, I find it hard to imagine anything but acrimony arising.
