I deliberately have not used docker at home to avoid complications. Almost every program is in a debian/apt repo, and I only install frontends that run on LAMP. I think I only have 2 or 3 apps that require manual maintenance (apart from running “apt upgrade”). NextCloud is 90% of the butthurt.

I’m starting to turn off services on IPv4 to reduce the network maintenance overhead.

Sunglasses are the worst. I own a pair of sunglasses for a long as I can put them back. The first time, every time, I have to replace them after misplacing them. If I place them on a counter, they’re gone. If I do find them, someone has sat on them, stepped in them, or stored them in a drawer full of hard, heavy and sharp things.

That reminds me, I wore them today and I haven’t seen them in 4 hours. RIP.

You’ve perfectly described how I play games. The only time I play is when my friends do, and that’s just because I want to stay in the social loop. The game itself feels like a second job.

Usually by the time I sit down to play, I’m so dog-tired that it feels forced.

I don’t think I want to waste 40MB per photo.

Really? I know they dropped S03E01 because they didn’t like Michael Jackson. The last time I checked, Disney+ still had a scene where Dr. Hibbert explained the “evil gene” that’s shared by both Walt Disney and Hitler.

My wife filled mine out. She was the one suffereing from my ADHD, affer all. It never really bothered me.

Exactly. You can tell someone to type a command, and ask for the output. Otherwise you’re spending 90% of your time asking someone to explain what they see, and searching for buttons that just move around from week to week.

It’s funny how icons back then were rendered with the detail of a renaissance painting, and now that we have hidpi displays, they are designed like they have to render in EGA.

You’re absolutely right! Would you like me to suggest alternative tones for LLMs?

You can’t copy and paste into a GUI, and it’s painful to help people to use them.

It’s been named “Microsoft Office” since 1990. Way to piss 35 years of brand recognition up a wall.

The educational route I took was Hurricane Electric’s free IPv6 online course. It taught me a bunch of networking principles. When you finish the course (and get “sage” status), you get free lifetime DNS access. This includes dynamic DNS that automatically updates when your IP address changes.

Because of this, I can self-host on a basic residential plan without paying for any additional services.

So, all the family phones that are using this feature for handset backups. They’re just gonna stop backing up?

Thanks, Google. Thanks for protecting me from free software that scans files on my own phone and transmits it across my own network to my own server. Such a privacy nightmare. /s

OK, here’s how it happened.

I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn’t find it anywhere.

I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn’t load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.

Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.

6 months later and it’s still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven’t even realised.

Host all the things!

Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT…

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven’t even realised it yet.
