shocker

In the US, heat waves and hurricanes are hitting the south worse every year. The west is on fire and out of water. New York City is flooding more every year.

Move to Minnesota.

That’s a picture of a unicorn. Gotta wake up pretty early in the morning to get one over on me, internet.

I picked up obsidian because it is a perfect diary app w/ templates and daily notes built in. But it’s so damn customizable that my obsidian notebook has become an all consuming passion of knowledge base and personal project managment that requires me to be productive IRL to generate more content for me to catalogue. Really appeals to the data hoarder in me, been a game changer. Highly recommend. Perfect 5/7.

I have multiple servers with about two dozen self-hosted services I run. It all started ten years ago, torrenting shows and then automating. And now everything in my life is self-hosted and backed up. But if I showed my current configuration to me 10 years ago, it would look undoable, completely out of reach. So my suggestion to you is to pick one project that you like, build it. Make mistakes. Fix those mistakes. If you want to access it from outside your network, use WireGuard so that nobody else can have access to your system and find your mistakes for you.

Don’t ask for advice. Don’t ask for opinions. That’s like going into a religion conference and asking which is the right God. You’re going to have a bunch of very passionate people telling you a bunch of things you don’t understand when all you want to do is tinker. So fuck all those people, just start tinkering.

Finally, Don’t host any mission critical shit until you have backups that are tested after multiple iterations. I have fucked up so bad that I have had to reformat discs. I have fucked up so bad that data has just gone missing. I have fucked up so bad that discs have overflowed with backups and corrupted the data and the backups themselves. It was all fun as shit. Because none of it was important. Everything important was somewhere else. The only rule is the 3-2-1 rule, otherwise go fuck up and come back when you dead end on an issue.

Pro tip, use ZFS and take snapshots before you make any changes. Then you can roll back your system if you fuck up. I just implemented it this year and it has saved me so many headaches.

Like this?

I have my books on a remote share managed with a local calibre install on my desktop for easy transfer

Just set up a Joplin cloud server for me and my buddy to do a writing project. It’s the most robust open source solution I could find for the situation and so far it is meeting every expectation.

You could use a different service like one cloud or google and encrypt your data. Or you could get a pi, run it as a mini server, and run any number of docker containers from joplin cloud to nextcloud, or a simple webdav server.

VW had a trigger in their software that would make the engines more efficient if they sensed they were being tested. Chip speed isnt indepedently tested so Intel just rigged the test.

After Their justifications for war crimes were found to be false. The Israeli government shifted its reasoning for destroying a hospital to “They were totally here. You gotta believe us. Check this out. There’s a desk where Hamas was. They planned October 7th sitting at this Ikea furniture. This desk is a terrorist.” The Palestinian people have yet to come out and condemn desks. The bombings will continue.

No art is touched in these protests. Its like y’all never heard of glass before.

If it walks like ethnic cleansing and talks like ethnic cleansing then it can’t be ethnic cleansing because their grandparents went through the holocaust.

Isn’t it fun playing armchair doctor for Elon Musk! If you’re wrong, who are you hurting, fuck that guy. And if you’re right, it’s fucking hilarious because fuck that guy.

It’s always fun to play is he weirdly out of touch because he’s a billionaire or is he weirdly out of touch because he’s autistic. I think this might be a bit of both.

Hand gestures don’t come naturally to everybody. Some people learn them just to fit in and some try and evoke the same emotions from them without understanding the emotions or the motions completely because they’re just not physically capable of connecting those brain synapses. Add to that the fact Elon doesn’t hang out with normal people. He only hangs out with engineers and sycophants. So he doesn’t get to naturally see people in their everyday environment. He only sees people acting in videos and then he tries to imitate that and the sycophants and engineers around him applaud him. The dumb shit he says gets retweets so he thinks everyone agrees. Then he goes out into the real world and continues parroting this end stage meming with gestures he learned from Hitler speaches, not realizing the jerky movement was due to low frame rate and high meth rate, and is stun locked when everybody else is trying to figure out what the fuck is happening. And what the fuck is happening is that we are witnessing a man who is so far up his own ass that even basic hand gestures are oddly shitty.

Good to know. My main point was that I’m not going to put too much weight in word choice for people for whom English is not a first language.

Hard to say with translations, a lot is up to the translator.

*In response to your edit, I thought you were referring to what does Hamas call their people being held by Israel. What Hamas calls their hostages seems less relevant to me.

Terrorists have hostages. Countries have political prisoners and prisoners of war.

Holy projection, batman!
