Ahh yes, the brainrot feed.

I rock my Skechers, android phone, basic Casio watch, and drive my 2003 Suzuki.

I spend my money on stuff that works. Not stuff that’s marketed.

I sense marketing bullshit, and it’s such a strong turnoff for me.

AI needs to be regulated with an energy cap. If you need more capacity, optimise your AI. Don’t just throw more electricity at it.

How much did the job search burn you out?

The last time I jumped jobs, I was absolutely exhausted from the old job. The new job was perfect, but took another year before I didn’t feel exhaused 24x7.

I like the phrase “flooding the zone with shit”. It even comes with a catchy song that attributes the phenomenon to Steve Bannon.

Have you tried not doing that?

It’s really as easy as not doing that.

If your reverse proxy only acknowledges jellyfin exists if the hostname is correct, you won’t get discovered by an IP scanner.

Mine’s on jellyfin.[domain].com and you get a completely different page if you hit it by IP address.

If it does get found, there’s also a fail2ban to rate-limit someone brute-forcing a login.

I’ve always exposed my home IP to the internet. Haven’t had an issue in the last 15 years. I’m running about 10 public-facing services including NTP and SMTP.

The top result is always some AI-gen, 2000-word essay response to a simple yes/no question like “Can a dog eat onions?”

I swear they do it to train us to just use the shitty AI summary of the shitty AI essay.

The bill would jeopardize rideshare services in Colorado “to an untenable degree, and could very well lead to companies that Coloradans rely on exiting the market, raising prices, or reducing the number of drivers,"

What a bizarre statement. If they exit the market, everything will improve.

It was previously a “thread.sleep(5000)” in the client code IIRC.

Well, he assassinated an member of government. That’s far worse than a private citizen.

They forgot to publish the speed limit deltas for waymo and humans.

The fact that they showed less pedestrian collisions “with injuries” implies that they’re frequently meandering into peds at walking pace.

From what I’ve heard, these things are motorised traffic cones on the road.

Threw them over the wall.

What really irks me is that ConnectEast/Transurban somehow get away with it. If you miss a $2 toll they’ll get the police to send you a $150 fine for it.

What’s worse is that their systems actively block you from paying the toll afterwards.

Actually, the most fucked thing above all is these companies are using government resources to protect their revenue stream whilst paying zero taxes.

I almost copped the fine once in a brand new car that I hadn’t assigned my tag to yet. The only reason I managed to dodge the fine is because Transurban had me fly from Melbourne to Sydney with zero notice to oversee the deployment of their air quality monitoring systems in the M5 tunnel. Because, ya know, they couldn’t open the tunnel unless it was operational. I was driving to the airport at 5am. For them.

RyanAir won’t let up with these constant attacks on Lance Stroll.

Try jolting the nozzle toward the screen that insists upon your attention. You may find that LCD TFT panels are not as strong as steel.

Just an extra 35% since 1960. WCGW? /s

Every single thing anyone says or does is in self-interest.

Like, I have almost never witnessed anything contrary to it.

40 years, then death. That’s all that’s left.

Done! I’ve been selfhosting for over 20 years now.
