I kind of forget about this place for weeks at a time. I guess video/pictures/audio is easier to consume when you are busy with 2 babies.

“Oh no… well anyway…”

I’d say burn in Hell, but Hell is too good for a piece of human garbage like this.

It’s normal to be so tired you get out your pills, put them on the counter, then walk away without taking them, right?

Luckily my wife saw them and called me back up from working (basement) to take them before it was too late.

You missed the rapture because your 5G signal is weak. Should have gotten those booster vaccines. Big guy upstairs is modern and uses technology nowadays.

Option 1: catch up on sleep now that the babies are down
Option 2: catch up on gaming now that the babies are down

Actual option I will take: reading current events until it exhausts me enough to pass out.

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

There's another name for "information which has been approved" - it's propaganda.

This is what we need from elected officials -- a commitment to stand up for their constituents and, just as important, a willingness to tell right-wing trolls to get bent.
Right wing crazies want me arrested because they know I won't back down. Too bad.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

Hey homelabbers and NAS owners!

goharddive has a eBay sale on refurbished 16TB enterprise grade Toshiba drives for $169.99. $10.5/TB is a good price nowadays.

Not sponsored or anything. Just I’ve bought from them before. Good customer service, 5 year warranty.

I guess I need a personal brand/identity website eventually.

Also are more people here or on 🧵 site now if you’ve left X? I kind of bailed on both for a while, and I really don’t like having both.

There are too many social networks to keep up with. How do people do it, much less participate in a way suitable to each platform ?

It’s not a premium meal by any means, but the pick 2 or more for 6.99 at Dominos is consistent and good for the price.

Debating kind of a re-branding thing for myself.

I still do tech, but given social media policies for my company, I can’t show much on some platforms. Also, infrastructure and storage is hard to show on my own, because that gear is expensive for homelabbing.

Plus, sensitive company info.

Budget planning meetings in IT when you don’t have solid requirement numbers are basically like asking “please sir, may I have some more?”

Ok I got my handle mostly back after I crashed out and deleted things last month.

Pro tip: don’t delete Bluesky accounts. Just deactivate them.
