It's that time of year when you're not sure what day or what year it actually is. To help keep you confused, Talking Heads is on... tonight??? See you all at 6PM Pacific!

Dude, this is so great! The latest UI changes to Plex on Roku made it nearly unnavigable for my son. This is such a great solution.

Hope all my PNW neighbors are safe tonight. Gnarly storm, and hundreds of thousands are without power, with flooding a real possibility. Shout out to our local PGE and Salem electric for their hard work tonight.

Look, when I have a favorite mouse, and they make a V2, you know I'm buying at least two of them. Elecom HUGE Plus. Video in a week or two.

Minor rack transformation in progress. Bringing my Supermicro 846 out of retirement with a fresh 320TB of storage. Spinning down the Craftinator (for now...) And moving all my VM servers to the 8-Node Microcloud underneath it all.

Thankfully, @craftcomputing.bsky.social is there to help

Turns out the Chevy Bolt is the perfect vehicle to fit a fully loaded 45Drives XL60. It's now happily living in a COLO 🤘

RIP @burgerbecky.bsky.social Rebecca Heineman and thanks for all the wonderful games 😢

Sorry everyone for the delay, and even more so the lack of updates.

It's Friday night, let's see, what was it I forgot to do today? I'm positive there was something really important. Like, absolutely something that HAD to be done. Oh right... MAKE SURE THE POORS ARE STILL STARVING! www.pbs.org/newshour/nat...

This is gonna be a lot of fun 🤘

Bought some "new" server gear. Gonna cluster like it's 2012!

They might be a week late for the current outage, but will be just in time for the next one. Shot glasses coming to craftcomputing.store next week.

Happy Wednesday everyone! @lawrencesystems.com joins Talking Heads this evening to discuss the AWZ/Azure Outages, Nvidia's $5T totally-not-a-bubble valuation, and switching to MacOS??? See you all tonight, 6PM Pacific! youtube.com/live/77zFGRF...

Republicans want you to loudly fight about cultural differences with your neighbors so that they can quietly cut taxes for millionaires in states they control (on top of federal cuts).

Explaining the differences between #Intel and #AMD modular processor designs using LEGO? Yes, please! @craftcomputing.bsky.social: Explaining Intel's Clearwater Forest Xeon and Intel 18A with Lego!

Such war torn Much fire Wow #pdx

Hell yeah Portland

This makes sense coming from the guy whose son monitors his porn consumption

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months for medical reasons, and I'm still about 1000$ behind on being able to pay for my car and storage. I'm sorry to keep asking, but if you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

We're all doomed. Thanks @adamconover.net for providing all of this real footage of Sam Altman so we can better understand OpenAI's business model. youtu.be/55Z4cg5Fyu4

Hey, guess what!? We've got a VCF in the Pacific Northwest again!! And I've been working on building a bunch of stuff to demo there for the past year. We gonna have a ton of awesome things. I'm hoping to design and build something entirely new and debut it there ;)

Patriotic protesters wearing goofy inflatable frog costumes are using laughter to fight facism. And there’s nothing a bully hates more than being laughed at.

Get your beverage of choice ready, as @lawrencesystems.com is on Talking Heads Ep.404 with me this evening. We're going over TrueNAS 25.10 and NVMe-Over-Fabric support, AI Beer Reviews, and ChatGPT getting nasty... See you all tonight at 6PM Pacific! youtube.com/live/mIkzuzu...

The Roddenberry Archive website is free for all to explore. Lots of cool starships, bridges, documentaries and interviews: roddenberry.x.io

Evening everyone. Rambo says hi.

Multiple airports are now announcing they will refuse to play Kristi Noem’s government-funded video blaming “Democrats” for the government shutdown. “We believe the Hatch Act clearly prohibits use of public assets for political purposes and messaging,” one airport said.

Premium: The AI Bubble's promises are impossible. NVIDIA's customers are running out of money, GPUs die in 3-5 years, most 1GW data centers will never get built, and OpenAI's Abilene data center doesn't won't have the power it needs before 2028 - if it ever does. www.wheresyoured.at/the-ai-bubbl...

Yet they're stopping us from receiving them, instead letting them expire on shelves. I mince no words here, Trump wants you to die so he can own the libs.

SUITED UP AND REPORTING FOR DUTY 🐸

I've been bedridden for the last 10 months, unable to work as I try to get a surgeon and insurance lined up for my operation to let me work again. If you could send a couple dollars, it'd really help. Time isn't on my side here, and waiting is very expensive. ko-fi.com/fooneturing

Two big GOP activists from Oregon were in DC last month for meetings with Trump admin officials. On their podcast they talk about a plan they discussed to nullify the results of Oregon's 2026 federal elections. Pass federal voter ID law, then refuse to seat OR delegation because OR didn't comply.

Talking Heads Ep.403 starts NOW! youtube.com/live/uBpXDbG...

. @craftcomputing.bsky.social I blame you for this one.

I understand this. Please tell me you do, too.

Azeen Ghorayshi at the NYT has moved on from going after trans people and is now pushing the leasing question that autism diagnoses are too common because of its expansion of it to a spectrum. archive.ph/Whji1

Trump is launching an authoritarian takeover of Portland hoping to provoke conflict in my hometown. I urge Oregonians to reject Trump’s attempt to incite violence in what we know is a vibrant and peaceful city. I will do everything in my power to protect the people in our state.

"Which is your favorite/definitive version of the original Prince of Persia?" 💾As promised-- after 35 years, here's a proper blog post with my thoughts, and the story behind Prince of Persia's multiple 1990s ports. www.jordanmechner.com/en/latest-ne...
