Maybe I should start rewatching A:TLA on a yearly basis…

I think I am willing to take any advice here

Everyone is always talking about proxmox, maybe I just do that?

Thinking I’m gonna have to give up on my experimental FreeBSD-on-Framework home server setup. Wish I knew it was experimental before I was plagued by extremely frustrating USB bugs (which on a Framework board means any ability to interface with the machine), but I guess that’s what I get for not doing my research.

Trying to figure out where to migrate. Gentoo has treated me nicely, but it might be worth going with something more solid like Debian or AlmaLinux if it’s a home server…

.DS_Store is a pest file. I think we should coin that term.

still waiting for the day when I actually stop just reading about Lisp and go do something with it

I'm definitely not the first person to make this observation: in English it is bizarre how we only have one word for love despite the fact that the love one feels for their friends, family, and partners are all completely different.

@nytpu isn’t the AUX jack still there? they covered it up for appearances, but you can drill into the corner to get it back if you want.

I love when companies design for user choice :)

in preparation for greeting the new technicians coming into my workplace next week, I have replaced the dragon, furry, and outer wilds pins on my laptop bag (I found new backers to replace the ones that fell off)

I am becoming the world's #1 fahrenheit defender. metric did everything else right but fahrenheit is just simply a better human scale for air temperature. yes it's based on vibes but who cares. water at some average sea level pressure is just as arbitrary as sheep's blood or whatever

I hear if you eat your vegetables and wash your plate after dinner then you turn into a big dragon

I was thinking about how Elon Musk was once seen as a likeable and progressive person and now he's... Well, neither of those things. I think the one thing we forget is that Musk got rid of his PR department entirely. So what we had before was curated information ABOUT Musk. With the PR team gone, now we have uncurated information FROM Musk.

It stands to reason that any other billionaire who seems likeable has mastered the art of shutting the fuck up and letting someone else curate their image, as opposed to Musk — who really is telling us how he is, instead of letting someone else do it for him.

honestly, NTP continues to feel like a miracle to me. the fact that we can get almost every computer on the internet to agree on the time within like… 1/100th of a second is amazing. and I was born after it was standardized. it’s just that mind blowing. it’s like magic.

Gyatt DAMN

OH: “the best part of Amazon Prime is unsubscribing from it”

It is surprisingly easy to setup your own rtmp server…

Ok what if I got into wings of fire again.

Oh my FUCKING GOD

I finished dumping 99.99% of a very old, damaged, backup CDROM that was previously unreadable. It took 3 days and I was super excited to find out what old data I put on it. The disc had UDF sessions, because that was common at the time for just Adding Files to non-rewritable media.

So I mount that shit in my Windows 98SE box, and lo and behold, this is all that was on it.

I would be absolutely upset if it wasn't so fucking funny
