I’ve got close to 400 films and 30 series in my collection, at least 40% of it is from thrift stores and libraries. I’m certain that libraries would be totally down with you copying their media, so long as you kept it hush hush. Is their whole purpose not to disseminate information and media to the people?

Get you a nice private VPN and set up a kodi install configured for piracy. Honestly there’s probably bandit signs in your neighborhood selling firesticks and roku boxes that’re already set up for it.

alternatively, don’t steal your media and buy physical copies, then rip them to set up a jellyfin. Thrift stores have tons of VHS and DVDs. Ebay has a huge selection of cheap bootlegs that can offer you plausible deniability if legit copies are too expensive.

Thingy if it’s attached to me. Thingie if it’s a cute small object I enjoy the appearance of.

“this is my thingy”
“Ooh what’s that thingie?”

I think I’m gonna move the goalpost on my life goals a bit.

New Life goal: Have more started projects than projects relegated to the ideas drawer.

Oh God I need to buy my ddr2 before you all start swarming for the new old stock.

Confidence is key, as long as he knows he looks good and wears it as such, he’ll still pull.

I moved to half caff for a few weeks, then to decaf. I still have a cup of coffee every morning as part of my routine. The headaches were brutal on both changes, and I regret not taking longer to do so.

It began when I noticed caffeine pouches being sold at a gas station. Not pills, which feel like a drug, pouches, just like the Zyn pouches. The difference is caffeine can be sold to minors. I realized when I saw them that caffeine is simply another insidious drug being peddled to the masses to keep us locked in addictions, feeding the machine with our hard earned money.

You do not need the stimulant. You do not need the pacifier. You will not enjoy going without, until you learn how much better you feel without.

I come from a taker culture. I’m doing my best to unlearn and be a leaver. It starts (to me) with the recognition that the way I have been living is a way uncooperative with nature, and incompatible with sustainability. I’ve been growing more spiritual, not to pacify myself but to take time to give thanks to the world for what it has given me. I drive less than I used to, opting to cycle or walk most of the time.

I think it’s safe to say I’m still a taker (I mean hell I live on stolen Diné land), but I’m doing my best to learn to not be. As soon as I can, I plan to leave this place, it can’t sustain a population like this and I can’t in good conscience contribute to it’s destruction.

Yeah, always high. I quit weed and caffeine at the same time. Quit alcohol 7 months ago. Nicotine a year ago. I’m completely sober for the first time in 13 years as of a few months ago. It wasn’t the code’s fault. It was depression. TBH the coding was a way to gain some control over my life. It gave me reasons to dive deeper into my addictions though.

I used to write a ton of code while caffeinated.

Now I write less, better code since quitting caffeine.

There was a brief period where I was incapable of doing anything at all between the state of high caffeination and no caffeination.

If ape fling poo in city, ape get arrested too. To free one’s mind from the shackles of society, does not free them from the consequence of interacting with it.

I’d recommend ddrescue over dd for optical media backups only because if you’ve got bad blocks it will try them again at a different speed/angle

Makes me think of how I recently read Ishmael and it literally changed my life. I understand now. I am ape. Do as ape do.

There’s like, a lot more than that, but that was my biggest takeaway (which would probably make the author very sad given what the book was actually about)

None of my GPUs have more than one HDMI port, so I set up nccl and tossed in a spare GPU.

Sometimes the solution is to “upgrade” with old hardware that’s been obsoleted for a few years.

(I’m so glad I kept that gtx1650 in my dev board cabinet)

Are you hosting on your own machine or server? If so, you can add some buttons that are hidden such that only bots can see them and ban anything that clicks them.

I’m not sure personally how you’d manage it with html+css with no client side scripting, but my theory is to just move your ‘I’m a bot’ indicator button way off screen with css, or render it invisible and super small so it’s unlikely a human could ever find it.

I’m not educated enough to have an opinion that goes beyond what I like to type. I find C style to be the nicest.

As far as I can tell that’s not possible on FreeBSD. The vm.swappiness parameter doesn’t exist there.

I often use FreeBSD on a system with 2 gigs of ram. I WISH swap was useful. OOM killer is so overzealous the thing just kills whatever before even touching swap.

Gershwin’s wiki and git repo list the ghostbsd variant as outdated, but in my experience it is also the only one that works out of the box.
