Hey jerkface! I keep meaning to dive further into Blender sculpting. I like tinkering with Python too & sounds like the two pair well.

You have passed the test. We can be friends.

Hey that’s a fair point. Funny how often good ideas are kneecapped by crap executions.

Yeah, I’d love at least one USB A type cause most of the peripherals I own use that.

legit scenario where such a tool is actually needed

The “legit” reason has nothing to do with user experience and everything to do with Microsoft & their 874,289,532 advertising partners.

Regardless of the marketing spin they’re putting on it now - Recall will be used for mass data collection and training MS’s LLM. They’ll wait for enough adoption of Win11 & Recall before putting the “release of information” clause into their T&Cs.

Recall isn’t for users. It’s for Microsoft.

Fuck firewire. Glad it’s dead. USB C is the best thing to happen to peripherals since the mouse.

It’s genuinely just people feeling the need to “pick a side”, and it’s unhelpful. Just makes the fans look like clowns.

Bluesky’s got the same vibe as early Twitter (for now). That’s awesome. Mastodon / “the fediverse” can take some time to streamline onboarding so when Bluesky gets sold to Mussolini’s ghost Mastodon will be ready to take the reins.

“Bluesky has not been offered enough money to scrape user data for AI”

I can’t live without fzf. I hope junegunn is as happy as a human can be.

Ive got a pair of 12TB Seagate drives in a NAS that have been running great for a few years, now.

I’ve heard varying opinions on Seagate’s longevity, so your mileage may vary. So far, they haven’t given me any issues.

Soon, where Toon Town once stood will be a string of gas stations, inexpensive motels, restaurants that serve rapidly prepared food. Tire salons, automobile dealerships and wonderful, wonderful billboards reaching as far as the eye can see. My God, it’ll be beautiful.

I don’t buy into the myth that running your own mail server is “hard”.

For a server with only a few users, the hard part is outgoing mail, ensuring your mails get delivered. I did what I can here, and simply use a paid service on another domain for important things where delivery must be “guaranteed”.

It’s an interesting post, but saying it’s “not hard” and then “welllllll it’s not hard if you don’t bother with a spam filter & pay a professional company for ‘important’ email” is pretty misleading.

It’s the “hello world” for hardware.
