Brave Little Hitachi Wand

Aaa you were right thanks! What a relief

Eh fuck it, I’m enjoying freetube now

It hasn’t been working lately. Videos stop at 0:59

Saved for when I get my home server back up and running. This sounds way better than keeping everything on an external SSD.

I’m a fucking albatross, I know… Or whatever that sailor’s curse bird is I forget. A crested wank.

My advice is to be less like me

It seems to be working for other people

Just got into using Syncthing for my home network, was thinking I should add it to my phone. Makes sense it dies the instant I consider it

The way politics works now is that MAGA tries to reenact the Handmaid’s Tale and/or sell the world to disaster capitalists while doing nothing to actually govern, Democrats try to play it cool and actually govern sometimes, and dark money gets poured into elections to make everything even murkier.

For once I’m #1 in something 🥳

Instead we have to worry about algorithmic traders flash crashing stocks. The tail is always going to try to wag this dog, but at least when humans are doing it other humans can react in real time.

I have no tech background, and I am just getting into creating a media server. I started with an old secondhand Synology NAS, which developed a power issue within a month and no chance of returning it or getting it covered by warranty.

My current plan is to get another Synology NAS (new with extended warranty this time), along with a spare HDD enclosure so I can have an extra layer of redundancy, finally set up Jellyfin, and then I want to build a Pihole. At that point I won’t need much more self hosting or networking tricks until further notice.

Still have no idea what I’m doing.

Over the last year I think I’ve dropped in about six times out of sheer habit, and each time I am driven away by the undeniable force of asshole design.

Old StumbleUpon was everything to me

If you don’t have system32, it’s fine to delete one from the store

That’s all we need, a way for morons to turn the web into even more of a Potemkin village of meaningless blather

Sorry about that. I wish everyone with the sense to leave had the option.

Well, we did almost end up in Canberra at one point, but as luck would have it the wife’s boss didn’t support the transfer. It’s no Sydney, but anything would have been better than staying stateside. I don’t really miss it, and all my friends say it’s worse now 🙂

Camden Town in London actually; historically counterculture, but punk is dead at The Cheese Bar.

I, an American, was ashamed when I had to ask that a tip be removed from my bill at a restaurant in Camden.

CAMDEN WAS SUPPOSED TO BE WOKE AND Y’ALL FUCKING DOG OVER HERE

Pay your damn staff a good wage

CN for those scanned PDFs. What am I gonna do, zoom in like some kind of animal?
