Somebody else, please do the needful

I played some games at 5 years old; mainly Pac-In-Time and Mario Teaches Typing on MacOS, and Super Mario Bros on the NES with my grandpa helping me on the hard parts. My own kids when they were 5 played curated video games like Minecraft, Lego Worlds, and the other various Lego titles. Screen time limits are important until kids learn time management, at one point I had some software I found to give warnings and lock them out once their account time was up.

Once kids are old enough to understand the need to prioritize other aspects of life it’s beneficial to have had some base level of computer experience. One example, my now older kid asked me the other day about how to set up an autoclicker and we walked through choosing a keyboard shortcut to trigger an Autohotkey script to spam clicks, and how to add other hotstrings and functions. I truly don’t know shit about programming, but functional versus object oriented programming seems both more approachable and more of a practical tool for kids of the next gen who will likely need some understanding of how programs work to sort out good advice from hallucinations in whatever AI tool their employer uses.

I felt dumb using it at a roundabout because nobody does there, then I looked it up and found it’s something you’re supposed to do. No harm in over communicating when you’re in control of a few thousand pounds of metal.

If a Democratic president is able to take office following the fuckery happening to basic voting rights, I fully expect the cycle to continue of the Democratic president being blamed for inflation/recession due to transferring wealth to people who don’t need to spend money from those who do (thanks, tariffs) in the first part of their term. Any economic gains at the end of their tenure will be conveniently ignored.

My next vote goes to:

Luckily my dog was a puppy with noisy kids so he doesn’t get too stressed by thunder. He does go to his doggy bed and growl really low to ward off the demons

Put on whatever nature sounds you prefer. Rain, crashing waves, thunderstorms; all of these have helped me as a graveyard worker with earplugs in plus the background nature noise to help mitigate when lawnmowing or leafblowing is happening outside my apartment.

From the comments and my experience being among vegetation versus getting sand everywhere, it’s clear that we all came from the trees. To fully self-actualize we must all return to monke.

My server runs Debian VMs in Proxmox on an i7-2600 which has a lower benchmark than the 6600k. I also used the Perfect Media Server guide, and have 2 x 8T data drives pooled with MergerFS with 1 for snapraid parity, these are passed through to the main VM from Proxmox using ‘qm set’. One thing I would often forget after deleting/restoring this VM was to run qm set again after restore, ensuring it has the flag to not back up those drives or else backups will fail and I have to go uncheck the backup option on each drive to fix it.

If I need to spin up another VM for tinkering it’s easy enough to mount the NFS share as a volume with docker compose. Proxmox rarely shows CPU usage go above 50% (average is 10%) and this handles the whole *arr stack plus usenet and torrents in a single VM and compose file. I don’t have GPU passthrough set up because the motherboard on this older rig didn’t support IOMMU, never had issues with Plex or Jellyfin transcoding for Chromecast. I might build a new rig with GPU passthrough support to buffer media faster and selfhost LLMs when I get around to it.

What’s the use of being god if every run-down schmuck with a two dollar prayer book can come along and fuck up your plan?

A cockney accent is necessary for boat terminology

Because the glue cracks instead of flexing, it’ll start flaking immediately and make playing more irritating than the normal scratchiness that happens when the edges of a callus starts poking up. Accidentally got super glue on one finger and playing without using that finger was less annoying than using it.

I’m confused by anyone who demands Ukraine to cede territory and denies they can ever join NATO. Have fun seeing Crimean/Ukrainian/etc. conflicts repeat every few years while Russia keeps learning the lesson that imperialism is back in style. Are these people literal children, or Russian bots?

Ukraine agreed to give up their nukes as part of the Budapest Memorandum which Russia shat on, and the United States showed how little their security assurances were worth. The sad reality now is Ukraine could be admitted to NATO tomorrow and it would not matter one bit, because our current president believes himself a king who cannot be forced to abide any previous treaty, law, or norm of human decency.

I suspect that can be true, as the sheets are one-size-fits-all rather than measuring based on the size. Usually I run laundry before it’s too full to reduce increased noise in the closet near my office. If I ever notice it’s not getting clean when more full I’ll just throw 2 sheets in given how cheap they are

I’ll mention you can get detergent sheets and they work fine. No more messing with powders or liquids for me.

In practice the stagnation of IPv6 seems to be a recognition of the unintended security that NAT with IPv4 adds. From a security perspective, having every device use a public IP and trying to prevent malicious software from simply opening whatever ports it needs per device would be a headache.

Before widespread internet it made sense to give out numbers in the White Pages because physical mail forwarding was the other option to find people when their phone number changed. In the internet age where scammers across the globe can and will use personal information to target you for social engineering scams, it is better from a privacy perspective to have phone numbers be information you volunteer to people. There are sites which attempt to catalogue this information and ways to remove yourself from these as well. If a scammer can simply go down a list of most common names and a number string they can more easily make it appear they have a fake Amazon delivery, PayPal transaction, or other pressing issue customized with their name. Most people will not use their critical thinking, and these scams are a big enough problem already.
