- Comment on Tailscale blocked on hotel wifi 2 months ago:
This was years ago, but I had a similar issue of not being able to SSH in a hotel. I talked to the front desk and they were able to grant me access to a different network that didn’t have that blocked. I can’t remember whether I had to pay for it or not…

Unfortunately that image was the concept image. The real thing doesn’t look near as cool. It just kinda looks like a minivan ☹️

Huh, and here I thought it was just sitting in the cab of a big rig…
- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 4 months ago:
Seconding this. Especially if you’re still learning and making mistakes, it’s so nice to just be able to destroy a VM/CT and start over, rather then potentially breaking other things or the OS itself.

I have an Atari Lynx that I picked up at a garage sale. Never actually played it, though…

Haha, I saw it the same way at first!
- Comment on Is anyone still playing Command and Conquer Generals (+ Zero Hour)? 6 months ago:
I haven’t played it in forever, but I put a ton of time into it long ago. My friend and I would play matches as a team and one of us would play the Chinese general with the neutron artillery shell. As soon as we could, we’d build one and force shell one of each of our dozers, then take the others, so both of us could build everything from both of our factions. The Contra mod is also really great!

- Comment on Paradox announce Stellaris: Season 08, with Stellaris: The Machine Age launching May 7th 7 months ago:
Man, I’m the same way. FOMO backfires on me. I miss out on one Season and then I kinda don’t want to play that game anymore. I used to absolutely love Sea of Thieves, but I haven’t played it in ages because of the way they locked story content to a season. Now if I go back and play I’ll have missed out on a chunk of the setting’s story

I debated packing up my stuff and driving a couple hours to Mena, but I’m not sure the weather is going to be any better there…

- Comment on Always for my cat 7 months ago:
My cat has this little sparkly heart-shaped most that is her absolutely favorite toy, but she kept losing it. I finally undid the stitching on one side, such a Tile tracker inside, and stitched it back up. Now whenever she loses it I can just hit a button on my phone and find it for her!
- Comment on Copilot key is based on a button you probably haven’t seen since IBM’s Model M 7 months ago:
That’s actually super smart. I use scroll lock (also bound to a mouse button)
- Comment on Spotify’s second price hike in 9 months will target audiobook listeners 7 months ago:
I just spent about $350 building a home media server, and while we’re still subscribed to most of these streaming services, I don’t even check around to see where a show is anymore, I just have Sonarr get it for me

No, state filing is $15. Still way cheaper than TurboTax
- Comment on IRS has launched its free tax filing service, Direct File, in 12 states 8 months ago:
Switch to FreeTaxUSA. The name makes it sound shady as all get out, but it’s legit, easier than TurboTax, and cheaper. Free to file federal and $15 for state.
