If you’re one of those SEO fucks, you will be blocked.

If you’re perpetuating AI slop and/or pro AI crap, you will be blocked.
Boosting because they’re great fonts and ridiculously well priced for what you get.

Equipe has been one of my favorites, personally.

Been seeing a lot of “switch to Brave!” comments throughout the net on people wanting to get away from Google for recent events, and like

1. The guy behind Brave is Eich, who was famously ousted from Mozilla for being a phobic shit
2. Brave is just Chromium, which is Google
3. Brave does crypto, ew

Anyway before I sleep I managed to get the Quadro K4000 installed in the Shuttle and oh baby look at those numbers.

Unfortunately kinda hitting a CPU bottleneck (this same card scores like 50k in my XPS 730) but considering this used to score 25k with the GT640 I’ll take it.

To everyone beating the drum that Firefox is dead: please shut up. It ain’t dead until it stops getting updates/Mozilla falls dead. Christ.

Firefox still works on everything. Yes the AI garbage sucks but at the very least it can be disabled and won’t bother you (unlike Chrome)

Right so update on this, two potential issues:

There’s a concrete pillar where the corner of my room (where a lot of the damage is) and the two neighbor yards converge, and the roof partially encapsulates this. Previous roofers didn’t seal it proper. Hopefully this is the problem.
As if life hasn't been entertaining enough, after the most recent round of rain I found my room is leaking.

Again.

At the wall behind where my desk is.

Nothing valuable's damaged but I'm not looking forward to potentially having to move my entire setup out of the closet.

I've always said if you ever saw me selling my crown jewels (aka the Power Mac 9600/G4 Cube), know that I am in Very Deep Shit. There are a number of triggers for Very Deep Shit mode, and I just discovered a new one today (that hasn't happened, thankfully):

If my camera dies. Yeah. That.

lol went to go turn off the smart features in Gmail and I guess past me did current me a solid. Thanks bro.

(None of these features mattered to me anyway because I utterly refuse to use the Gmail website. I use a mail client. But also I swapped over to iCloud mail a while ago)

I think my collection is starting to settle into "here's this overkill system and here's the boring but practical version"

G4 Cube? Here's the Mac mini G4.
XPS 730? Here's the Shuttle XPC.
P4 98 Machine? Oh. Uh.

We're gonna be doing something about that soon. ;)

Oh hey, I’m already on the list for VCF SoCal!

That was fast. Too used to the long wait with West, hah.

I’m getting psyched.

lmfao this video reminds me of how much sympathy I feel for T-Mobile users who ever have to go to the store for anything. Because they're pushing the T-Life app so hard they essentially make you place an online order in-store to get a physical thing...from the store you're standing in.
Y'all mind if I complain for 15 minutes?

Oh my friggin gawd. This Inland glass PLA looks fucking amazing and I am definitely going to have to grab another roll when I’m in range of a Micro Center next.
November 20, 2025 at 10:52 AM
And there we go, paid up for SoCal. Now the planning begins.
November 20, 2025 at 6:52 AM
Well well, thanks to the very same kind soul who's helping me go to VCF SoCal this year...I now have a 0.2mm nozzle for my P1S inbound, so hopefully I can make some cool stuff to hand out to people at the show (and West, of course).

Last year suuucked for this (will explain in next post)

Oh yeah

Obviously if I get into #VCFSoCal 2026 (don’t see why I wouldn’t) I will be encouraging people to bring their 3DSes so we can get our streetpass on.

I got a handful at West, would be nice to get more.

ugh.

So I got kinda used to the new meds but because of the way the prescription was written there wasn’t enough to last me until the next fill date. Revised prescription is in but now the pharmacy is out of stock until the 24th (wat.)

Back on old meds and the adjustment period suuuucks.
