TikTok low key worries me. I know, I know, old man yells at cloud, but there's so much bullshit on there. And I don't mean "bullshit" like people with bad opinions, I mean things completely constructed portrayed as reality.

Example: www.tiktok.com/@itsgoneviral - none of that really happened.

This fucking game, which is dirt-cheap and available on pretty much all platforms, is absolutely SOAKING up my time.

It injects dopamine directly into my eyeballs and it makes time disappear. And it supports cross-save across all platforms.

You have been warned. vampire.survivors.wiki
Vampire Survivors Wiki
This is the official wiki for Vampire Survivors, a gothic horror rogue-lite game where the aim is to survive as long as you can against hordes of monsters.

I just had to pay the lawyers a grand. I'm out about £300 a month for storage. There will be more fees before it's done. I'm lucky in that I can borrow from family until the flat's sold, but how the fuck are you supposed to sell your house on a low income?

Oh, for fuck's sake. Looks like the zoned backlighting is working but no image on the fucking panel.

Don't mind me, just uploading the entire corpus of Sonichu comics into NotebookLM (Google RAG frontend) to see what happens.

I apologise for nothing.

So Envoy graduated CNCF. Alright, fine.

Originally I loved Traefik, then they crippled their open-source offering. Then I moved to Gloo, then they crippled their open-source offering.

So now we learn Envoy.

Rowling and Linehan both. They literally had it all. They were almost universally beloved.

And then they decided to make their entire existence about ruining the lives of trans people.

Not that it gets them sympathy, but it should be obvious; bigotry is self-destroying too.

Nobody wins.

Hot take: classic boomer memes - "why do you leave the toilet seat up" / "why did you leave a wet towel on the floor" / "why don't you put the dirty washing in the sink" - are actually undiagnosed ADHD, and now we're talking about it and diagnosing it those memes have evaporated.

With Mamdani and Polanski, we're seeing a possible resurgence of the Left. People on our side who won't refuse to play the shit-flinging game on principle.

It's tragic we're here, that it's necessary, but rejecting the bullshit of the Right has proved to be completely incapable of fighting them.

I still maintain that Bonfire Night does more harm than it gives pleasure, but god DAMN if I don't love the smell of the air.

For such a useful tool, Tailscale are bizarrely quiet about `tailscale file`.

`tailscale file cp filename.ext machine:` - on macOS, file lands in the target machine's Downloads folder.

No faff. No public keys. Whoosh pop.

And don't get me started about `tailscale serve` and `tailscale funnel`.

Does nobody else find it kind of wild how you can have a government which can just... shut down if there are disagreements?

Like, literally the thing our governmental system is built around? That happens, and boom, poor kids starve and air traffic has to be shut down?

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

What's our favourite registrar, lads? for a `.best` domain.

That means no Cloudflare. I'm thinking DNSimple. Any opinions? And not fucking GoDaddy.

There is a certain type of person who exists to clown on people asking game theory questions.

"I see your scenario, I reject it, and insert my own. Fuck you."

If you are that kind of person, I get it. Also, I will destroy you.

Mamdani winning is, of course, brilliant.

I just know that the next steps are the establishment Dems and all the fucking Republicans hamstringing him as much as possible and saying, look, he's terrible.

Trump has already said he'll cut federal money to NY if Mamdani wins. Bullshit? Who knows.

Been seeing a new talking point on the Right. "Transgender for everybody". What the jiggling fuck does that incoherent disaster of a sentence even mean?
