- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 3 days ago:
Right? Haha 😂 Oh did we suddenly clean up the entire Earth from free roaming microplastics?
- Comment on Bring them back!!! 3 days ago:
I love this. To quote an expert: “Life, uh, finds a way.”
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 3 weeks ago:
Like Kagi for web searching.
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 3 weeks ago:
That is definitely how I read it.
History can’t just be ‘rewritten’ by A.I. and taken as truth. That’s fucking stupid.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 and Palworld devs wish players understood that 'easy' additions and updates are sometimes really hard: 'That's half a year's work. That takes six months' 1 month ago:
I own something from that. I tried running it once and it would barely load. I gave up. Didn’t try again even on a new pc
- Comment on Netflix will show generative AI ads midway through streams in 2026 2 months ago:
They said if they PAY to use… and get ads. They are right, I ditched tv for streaming because less ads. Now they want to go full circle? I feel like I can’t even open up the fridge these days without having some agenda or ad start.

Klarna sucks balls. “We’re your friend! We help you buy things!*”

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
We did this when I was between 7-9 years. Once they had us line up on one side, and we could only cross the room, using those. Some tried to push and got ‘stranded’ between. One kid, put one in front of the other then swapped. Then again. Using two to cross. Soon many were trying to. I still remember this decades later 😁
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 2 months ago:
Sorry, uh… I didn’t mean run them at the same time. I had to have a DHCP server stand in for it when I had to take that device itself down (the pi). That was ages ago. But I was still starting out!
- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 2 months ago:
Yes especially if you’re using DHCP on Pi-hole
- Comment on Wolf Reboot 2 months ago:
How much of that was seeing what all those decades actually DID, and a generation later realizing it needed to be changed.
Still it’s crappy we are so crappy with our home. I do think we should work exceptionally hard to fix things here. Find real solutions to problems. Else what’s the point of going to other planets? We need those same skills to survive, terraform, geoengineer, know the potential for ecology, etc.
- Comment on A million batman origin stories. Parents brutally murdered by whoever. But instead of a family fortune you are approached by a friendly CIA agent who offers to fund your career of vengeance. 2 months ago:
I dunno, he gets treated like a ‘normie’ but continually surprised people who underestimate him.
It wasn’t the best movie but not the worse. It has some fun moments. Made me want to watch Mr. Robot (only seen pieces).

I just saw this movie.
Tap for spoiler
He blackmails his superiors to get training… he isn’t offered to get revenge on his wife’s killers. They laugh at him…
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 2 months ago:
When they monitor what you watch and how you share it with, it’s enshittified. Fuck Plex. I used to be a lifetime drum thumper. Stopped a few years ago.
Plex doesn’t care about you, your comfort, ease. It wants your money and it wants to monitor and control what you do with your own data.
Fuck. That.

Could happen to a nicer piece of shit.

“You clean poop chutes.”
- Comment on In 2024, 62% of all child sexual abuse webpages found were traced to an EU country, and the Netherlands remains the most abused global location for hosting CSAM. 2 months ago:
Taking this with a grain of salt coming from the UK. The same UK who really wants to backdoor encryption, and isn’t subject to the EU (Brexit).
It’s shitty that CSAM is a problem, but it’s not a solution to backdoor encryption and vacuum everyone’s data. This is what would happen. It starts with ‘protecting the children’ and moves quickly into abuse of privilege.
- Comment on Self-hosted PDF manager? 2 months ago:
I third this! I saw title and came to say.
It’s actively being developed still, I get emails like once every 1–3 weeks, sometimes more. Sometimes less.
I use docker desktop for this. I also lowkey learned how to set up a multi-database for this at one point, but kinda stopped after I got it working. More to see if I could.
I also tried bare metal building this, but had shit luck. It’s been a couple years though. Docker just makes it easy as hell.
I still keep all the originals separate just in case, and the tool can help you make multiple copies too (like PDF-A). I’ve never needed to go back and use those though, as Paperless just works so well once you get the hang of it and how you want your data stored.
I picked a structure that kind of lets me find stuff easily even if the tool is not running (like just by folder structures).
I’ve yet to make this online available for obvious reasons. But it would be nice to be able to pull up pretty much any document you need, any time.
Any suggestions on safe web access quickly from a phone might be helpful (WireGuard maybe?) if you have them.

Is the game worth the premium? I was thinking of this or Indiana Jones. Or what else is solid right now? Last game I got into was Baldurs Gate 3

Uhm excuse me. If you can walk and carry groceries, clearly you are well 👏 enough 👏 to work 👏. I’m waiting on those TPP reports tetris11!
Them probably.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
You make fair points. I shouldn’t jest so carelessly. I don’t think it’s just Obama either though. Past administrations have all had hands toward what we have today.
That said; I do think you’re right really. Which also kinda makes me sad. I wish we had some real leadership, and actually hope 😅
We end up with a remixed reality of ‘King Ralph’ instead. Every day with Trump is eating away at whatever hope for some kind of check and balance to occur. It’s disheartening to feel so powerless in the face of such a FUBAR-POTUS clown show in the chainsaw wielding circus.
Anyway! Back to masking it 🎭

Wow. This guy just hates Obama lol.
