Linux shell scripting (bash et al) is weird. When it works it's extremely powerful, but oh my frog, there's a thousand rocks in the path to stub your toe on.

Example #37: ffmpeg sure seems like a great utility to run in the background as a job, but if you try the process will suspend itself and […]

My favorite thing about the Buck Rogers in the 25th Century show was that they made a feature movie out of the first episodes, and they made a ridiculous version of the opening for it, with lyrics for the theme song, and scantily-clad women lounging on the show's logo.

Trying to decide if I want to post to SSB about a weird game from a subculture I haven't touched there yet: erotic gaming. This REALLY doesn't fit the usual mold: it's a simple roguelike that doesn't have sex scenes, though it does have nudity, TF and mind control themes. It's basically an […]

That is how this […]

For the 12th year running, the nebulous entity we call MST Club is running a CHRISTMAS MARATHON, with a plethora of video works good, bad and VERY BAD, mostly with a holiday theme but with some extras, from this evening to the end of Dec 25, at: https://cytu.be/r/metafilter_mst3kclub

We do this […]

Well, I loudly said I wasn't going to do it, so it was just a matter of time: I've been working my way through all the stake/deck combos in Balatro. I just finished off Blue Stake, just Purple, Orange and Gold to go.

My dad voted for Trump, but isn't a trumper. When I confronted him about Trump's massive horribleness he agreed. I asked them, then, WHY? he gave the Hunter Biden thing as his reason.

Basically, "but her emails!" 2.0.
