The unrealistic part is management admitting to a mistake

Pineapple juice. I went to a party in college that had some sort of unholy concoction of jungle juice with a bunch of cheap pineapple juice powder to mask how terrible it was. Completely ruined pineapple juice forever.

I tried to give my mom a pihole, she made me get rid of it because it broke the NY times and some rando mobile game she plays. Some people can’t be helped.

Idk about other brands but with Mazda you can call and get them to deactivate your car’s sim. IIRC in Subarus you can just physically unplug the communication unit.

But downloading a .reg file from some rando website is a-okay.

The average ‘advanced’ window user: CLI is scary!

Also the average ‘advanced’ windows user: if you open regedit and add this DWORD entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Microsoft/application/windows/something, then you can stop Microsoft from screwing you, but it’ll revert after each update so you gotta keep fixing it

“I think nano is the premier terminal text editor.”

I feel like at some point in the next few years Musk and Trump are going to have a falling out, and if Musk loses in that falling out he’ll get slapped with a domestic terrorism or treason charge.

See, I don’t pay for the electric bill to keep my collection of old enterprise equipment running because I need the performance. I keep them running because I have no resistance to the power of blinkenlights.

I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.

So when I ask Let’s Encrypt for a cert, I ask for *.int.teuto.icu instead of specifically jellyfin.int.teuto.icu, that way I can use the same cert for any internally running service. Mostly I use SSL on everything to make browsers complain less. There isn’t much security benefit on a local network. I suppose it makes harder to spoof on an external network, but I don’t think that’s a serious threat for a home net. I used to use home.lan for all of my services, but that has the drawback of redirecting to a search by default on most browsers. I have my tailscale exit node running on my router and it just works with SSL like anything else.

I use a central nginx container to redirect to all my other services using a wildcard let’s encrypt cert for my internal domain from acme.sh and I access it all externally using a tailscale exit node. The only publicly accessible service that I run is my Lemmy instance. That uses a cloudflare tunnel and is isolated in it’s own vlan.

TBH I’m still not really happy having any externally accessible service at all. I know enough about security to know that I don’t know enough to secure against much anything. I’ve been thinking about moving the Lemmy instance to a vps so it can be someone else’s problem if something bad leaks out.

If you want apples to apples, why the hell is Tesla, a company that makes under 2m vehicles, have a market cap of 1.4T while Toyota, a company that makes 10 million vehicles a year, has a market cap of 233B. No matter how you look at it, Toyota has better numbers in every way, but Tesla is a tech company as far as the market is concerned.

I have a dell power edge 730, which was about $200. It’s CPU shrouds perfectly match the GPU intakes so air just flows through both from the server fans. I’ve seen a few 3d printable fan mounts for jury rigging them into a regular tower too.

I picked up a pair of old Tesla P40s. Right now I’m running a Q4 quant of Qwen 2.5 72B that fits in the combined 48GB of VRAM with 12k context. They aren’t as fast as newer consumer cards, but it generates as fast as I can read while costing less than a used 3080.

About 5 years ago FB decided that they wanted to 2FA using my college email instead of the one actually attached to the account. Don’t have my college email any more and I never cared enough to figure out how to fix it.

I just use an IP address, they always resolve http and I can type 1.1.1.1 faster.

A few jobs back I was working was on a little learjet that had a .75 thirst to weight ratio. Now that was a fun jet. Now I have 54k lbs if thrust in a plane that weighs anywhere from 100-160k lbs.

Use ranch dressing. I was informed that was for gays and city folk only. I really had no response to that nugget of wisdom.
