omg, Good Boy is so... good. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/good_boy_2...

Mustard based BBQ sauces are far superior and I'm not sure why we bother making other varieties.

FreeBSD is better than Linux.

i dig it! would need to build some stuff with it to see what i dislike, but i really enjoy the lack of wrappers

Carnivorous plants are an under utilized thing in horror. It should have its own sub fandom.

Starting on my homelab server rack with these components for my build / dev server. Will use bhyve as a hypervisor with Linux (probably something Debian) and FreeBSD and maybe Windows guests.

Want to get a rackmount for a homelab so badly. Can't decide between a stand 19 inch where I could repurpose old PCs and such or the newer cute 10 inch ones that I'd need to buy mini PCs for.

There's a scene in Blade where Whistler puts gas in his car, but he sprays the gas everywhere. Then immediately lights a cigarette.

I can usually handle bad action movies, but In the Lost Lands is too bad even for me to finish.

So much of programming becomes easier when you just pass arguments to functions rather than looking for ways around doing so.

Are there any password managers that work with social logins? Meaning, do they know which of the social login buttons I need to click on a given website? Because I can't remember which I used to register.

All Frodo does in the Lord of the Rings movies is cry the whole time. People seriously like these movies?

Man, Dracula Untold really does suck.

A new open source project I've been working on the last month is called Jailman. It's a FreeBSD Jail management tool very similar to Linux container tools like Docker and Podman. Supports Containerfile format. Alpha quality, check it out: sr.ht/~matthewp/ja...

I didn't like Weapons as much as most seemed to. I liked it. But I feel like it's replayability is low to me, mostly because 2/3 main characters are insufferable imo. Still liked it.

The Last Voyage of the Demeter is a great concept that suffers, like a lot of movies, from taking itself way too seriously.

Kiwi is strawberry with more work.

Launched a new version of the Robot docs site. With a new domain! Check it out, cheers: regularhuman.dev

When you factor in how easy it is to make, spaghetti might be the best main course, full stop

Thrilled to announce Webflow's $150,000 donation to support Astro's open source development! PLUS... Webflow chooses Astro to power their just-announced AI app gen tool, coming soon.

Poltergeist III is not that bad given the star died a few weeks before release.

We don't use shell aliases enough. I, at least, repeat long commands all the damn time. Should be using aliases for everything tbh.

I think I'm at a point where I simply dislike zsh. I don't see any advantages over bash at all.

some thoughts about the bloat introduced by edge-case first libraries

Wow, this is awesome. I hope more and more projects throw CJS in the dustbin.

The fake news media never talks about what a generous and gracious host Dracula is. standardebooks.org/ebooks/bram-...

This is a weird, ill-informed post. Security is achieved by swiftly but carefully evaluating threats and responding appropriately, not by fearmongering, and certainly not by taking moments like this as an opportunity to preen. While you were trying to score internet points, we were investigating.

The Browser Company's "Our Incredible Journey" just dropped.

I ate all the candy so it couldn't tempt me any more.

Sway is nice

I don't like most modern comedy (TV or movies). I think most of it falls into one of two categories: 1) "failure to launch" Childish adult losers or 2) "ironic" with few jokes. I prefer regular comedy with likeable characters.

Late to the party, Death of a Unicorn is good

I have returned to the Land of Air Conditioning

Getting a new NAS this weekend and I'm unreasonably excited. Had been using an old MacBook Air with USB hard drive but the hard drive went bad after only a few months.

As an American, the weirdest thing about Europe is the bathroom situation.

View transitions are one of very few web standard success stories in the last 10 years. It's a miracle it happened at all, and even more so that it turned out so well.

Everything sucks, but at least we have dogs.

There aren't enough animal attack movies (like Jaws, Congo)

We need a live action Krypto movie. Superman can be in it in a supporting role I guess.

Alien: Earth is pretty good.

When I was younger I preferred Family Guy, but as I've aged I realized that Futurama is the superior show. Relatable comedy outlasts wacky humor.

Fright Night is the best Halloween movie. I will be taking no feedback. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I'm using Doom Emacs and I'm liking it. Will I become the "just use org mode" guy? Time will tell.

I'm back in SF and actively searching the streets for Wily. If you see her, DO NOT approach her, just call me: 4152185520.

Is there a stomach for a framework entirely driven by finite state machines?

Any pattern that makes testing more difficult is a bad pattern.
