idk if tools got better or if I just know more but self hosting feels infinitely easier than it was ~10 years ago. Proxmox is really nice and makes management of containers and VMs so easy?! Also big fan of bare LXC containers instead of the added complexity of Docker, esp. for just a NAS at home.

This is one of those US things that deeply puzzle me. Why does an elected politician need to raise funds for establishing their incoming administration? Do people not get paid? What is this for? pls explain

We should have more whimsical vehicles

LOSING IT

Going through first level tech support is always so agonizing when you already exactly know that you are encounting a software bug. I do not need instructions for how to close an app or re-install it. Please give me a "I'm tech literate, connect me to a human who actually knows things" button

‘The Owl House’ creator Dana Terrace responds to Disney+ looking to add AI-generated short form content “Unsubscribe from Disney+. Pirate Owl House. I don’t care. Fuck gen AI"

Genuinely insane remote included with my LED matrix panel

Oh no! Ants got into my lab and are all over my breadboard. Luckily, it's the species commonly found in circuit simulators to visualize current flow. They finally broke out of the simulation onto real hardware. Good for them.

Look if you're trans, you have to live. Do whatever you need to do to make it.

I just ground coffee, prepared the portafilter, put it into the machine, got distracted, come back, remove portafilter, tap out the puck, be surprised pickachu that its such a dry puck 🫥

We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA. Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

Friend got me these Indio Mie flavored chips from Laos and the flavor is wild. It tastes like the Ramen but somehow much more intense

Putting on a hard hat and steel toed boots, consulting the cyanotype blueprints for this elaborate construction project

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct. That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c9nO...

I love that the Boston cop slide never got fixed and now people just willingly go down it in tribute. It’s basically a national landmark at this point

I wish Plex server migration would be as easy as Home Assistant's. Why is this such a weird manual process

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

2 Million people voting for the mayor in an 8.5 million people city and that still counting as a record turn out is fucked up. Thats about 25%?! Even going by registered voters its less than 50%. No wonder that city kept getting the most fucked up freaks as Mayors.

bed errors are the yankee candle reviews of AWS

adam curtis' take on AI from 2016 goes crazy

I have never seen someone use the MacOS webcam reactions on purpose. Especially the balloons happen in the most random ill fitting moments, that feature really shouldn't be on by default.

no, just no

The IEC has this really neat webpage for exploring electrical plug type usage around the world www.iec.ch/world-plugs

YES! DICK CHENEY *IS* DEAD!

In retrospect, maybe it should have been a red flag earlier that they called my degree a "BS in computer science"
