I’ve told the wife I can’t watch these shows because of how bad the tech always is, and I can’t stop myself from losing suspension of disbelief when something like this happens

Thanks, I hate it

Denver to St Louis through KS and MI is up there

Doesn’t help that getting from West to East on i70 through Kansas City is a nightmare after driving that long.

Spoiler: i70 doesn’t just run through the city like one would think.

Nothing in the right quantity, I use it in my own cooking when I need more umami in a dish.

There are old studies out there that said it was a problem ingredient (hence “no MSG” labels all over different foods), but those have been largely debunked due to racial bias.

In excess, the MSG flavor tends to linger, which can be annoying sometimes.

Mmm MSG fries

(Don’t get me wrong I like them too but let’s be honest here, they almost have as much MSG as KFC fries)

Valid, I’m just not a fan of them personally

Too bad fresca uses artificial sweeteners

I used to like the old fresca, too

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”

Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.

I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

I explain fast boot to people by saying “for some reason Microsoft went and made the Shut Down button not actually shut down your PC, it really just puts it into a ‘deep sleep’ mode, and to their credit, it lets them say that boot times are faster… But it also means that in order to FULLY restart the PC, you have to click restart… I know it’s a pain”

Usually I get looked at like I’m from another planet, but that reaction means they’ll probably remember it later.

Testing this out today on my setup! Happy to see the 555 drivers on Bazzite.

Then buy a physical copy and store backups on a media server.

That or buy the media on a digital service and rip the file or screen capture it out.

Even buying a physical copy only entitles you to “ownership of a license” nowadays anyway. Ie: how Nintendo gets away with all their bs surrounding emulation.

Iirc Smite turned off their EAC Linux Restriction awhile ago, might be worth looking into.

Haven’t tested it at all though, so ymmv

Syncthing is fantastic. Loving it so far.

I’m just waiting for a good 2-in-1 Linux solution to come around. I don’t have the programming chops to try and make something myself.

I’d love to have something like Gboard (maybe de-googled) that completely deactivates when in laptop-mode.

I don’t even mind if it’s Xorg or Wayland at this point.

Free hardware is the best hardware!

I fell for an April Fools joke years ago saying that an upcoming character to be released in Smite was The Morrigan, then confidently posted about it on Reddit weeks later.

This was years before she actually was released, and long before development was started on her.

I’m able to get a lot of gear secondhand through my job, so I’ve got:

One 2u Intel server running proxmox in a ‘cluster’ (circa 2013ish. Added RAM and upgraded the CPU/storage.)

One Intel nuc with an i7-7th gen as the other host in the cluster - only one VM is set to fail over between the two if needed.

VMs:

• Plex
• 2x PiHoles (one of these is the failover VM) (these also have a few docker containers like Uptime Kuma.)
• Windows arr box (I know it’s blasphemy but I felt more comfortable doing that stuff in windows)
• anything else I want to mess with because the server really doesn’t run that hard.

Network:

• Sonicwall TZ 300 (incl a perpetual VPN license)
• Unifi 24 port switch (it’s gigabit and POE but doesn’t output enough power for the…)
• single Unifi AP.

All acquired over the last couple years for the low low price of “it was going into the trash anyway”

Anyone that says J6 was a “peaceful protest” that “got out of hand”

We all saw the footage of that day. There were gallows and calls to hang a sitting vice president.

It was an insurrection, fomented and encouraged by Donald Trump’s speech and actions leading up to that day. Plain and simple.

The right-wingers who say it wasn’t as serious as it was are gaslighting their base.

Edit: Victims of gaslighting in my replies

The thought of someone’s Linux install failing catastrophically, displaying a “MSoS”, then the user switching back to the is MS OS because of it is funny to me.
