If you’re not gay, you must prove it by wearing a birthday tiara and listening to nothing but Judy Garland the whole day.

The coal miners were told to learn to code, but maybe software engineers should be learning coal mining at this point. With all the AI data centers being built, there sure is going to be a lot of demand for coal.

Yep, I’d really like to stick to SoCs in the future as well. I’m holding off on hardware purchases until 2027 when AMD’s RDNA 5 will be available. Apple Silicon is amazing, but I’d like a less expensive alternative that has broader Linux distro support. RDNA 5 will bring true RTX cores, which is critical for my Blender rendering workloads, and is the main reason why I couldn’t justify AMD GPUs in the past for anything other than a dedicated gaming machine (e.g., Steam Deck).

My friend was part of the layoff and said they are providing 2 weeks of benefits. So, no health insurance after 2 weeks. It’s barbaric that access to healthcare is tied to employers in this country.

My kids’ devices are blocked from internet access in my OpenWRT firewall and I run a Squid proxy on my server with an allowlist of domains they can access.

This movie gets horrible reviews, but I always found it hilarious.

I run k3s and use Argo CD at work, but it always seemed overkill for my home server. I also would want to use self-hosted Forgejo instead of an external service, but I don’t care to spend time on a setup that bootstraps Forgejo, PostgreSQL and Argo CD, then has all of the above managed by Argo CD.

That’s a good idea; I’ll be sure and pre-flight next time. Also my mom is dead, so I doubt she would mind. Just one extra worm wiggling around in there.

Not something I’ve actively looked into, quite honestly. Didn’t find the Ripley’s Believe It or Not museum particularly arousing, so I assume it wouldn’t be my jam.

I’d think that custom AI-generated smut videos would be all the rage. It’s one area where the content being slop shouldn’t matter as much.

Hey, look, that lady has 3 breasts. Aw, here comes Double Dong Danny to get some of that. Man, this is some fucked up shit. Grabs a box of tissues.

Looks good, and love the idea of it, but YouTube download clients don’t work worth a damn on a VPN any longer in my experience.

Yep, it will run SteamOS and will have Valve’s Lepton (fork of Waydroid) to support Android games. It’s also an ARM device and will use Valve’s FEX to run x86 games. Supposedly, Half Life Alyx runs pretty decently on it.

I hope Valve’s Steam Frame is the last nail in their coffin. Unlike the Meta Quest, which is a locked down, privacy nightmare and the Miiverse that is beyond pointless, Valve has actually innovated in this space. Also, devices purchased from Valve actually belong to you and you can do whatever you want with them.

I have expensive software that only works on Windows, so the only thing that I care about is that it won’t get locked down to the point where I can no longer remove all the cruft.
