- Comment on If you are not in a tech field, what got you into self-hosting? 14 hours ago:
I didn’t want to pay for cable TV. I started with torrents. Then I found utorrent could automate via rss and search terms, then sickbeard could automate it even further, usenet made it safer, etc… And that’s also how I ended up with a career in IT.

Specific models of Maytag. They also slap their label in junk Chinese ones as well.

People match their washer to their dishwasher? I think if you’re going to do that, the Miele recommendation is probably the way to go.
- Comment on Start-up idea 4 days ago:
The only thing I know close to this is Maytag has a “commercial” washer and dryer line. It’s no frills, made in America, and has a 10 year warranty. That’s the line I chose.
- Comment on Tri gun: Original or stampede? 4 days ago:
The original is better. Stampede has an interesting aesthetic…

Where do slippers fall on this? I’m a shoes off person, but in the winter I’ve started wearing slippers inside.
- Comment on pride flag rule 1 week ago:
I think it has more to do with the rainbow of colors.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 weeks ago:
I just liked linux better so I learned it. That’s kind of my whole career, I want to do something so I get certified in it and start looking to get into it. I’m in consulting. I come in and help people setup OpenShift while teaching them how to use it and then move on to the next customer.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 weeks ago:
I probably also started with linux seriously around that time frame. I was also a Windows admin back then. Transitioning to Linux and containers was the best thing ever. You get out of dependency hell and having kruft all over your filesystem. I’m extremely biased though, I work for Red Hat now. Containers and Linux are my day job.
- Comment on Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps 2 weeks ago:
And honestly, 40 isn’t even impressive. I run more than that on one host. Containers make life so much easier is unreal.
- Comment on We really need to be more wary of everything that promises to do more, faster. 2 weeks ago:
That’s what the whole ludite movement was about.
- Comment on Transistors are probably a bit reason we don't live in a steampunk world. 2 weeks ago:
Why would you think steam power competed with the transistor? If anything steam competed with gasoline/diesel. Steam punk died with the Stanley Steamers.

That’s me too.

Oh, yeah you’re right. I read that wrong.
- Comment on Rules for a gun fight 3 weeks ago:
And a .308 would smoke them all. It was specifying if you see smaller caliber, assume rifle.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 4 weeks ago:
First, don’t buy it from a store. Second, turn that sucker off before you go home.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 4 weeks ago:
Does that matter? If it’s a device that you bought used just for this? There is no name attached to that device at that point. But it used on Craigslist, use it for the event, throw it away. It can be any cheap, crappy phone.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 4 weeks ago:
Does it matter if that cell service isn’t connected to a name?
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 4 weeks ago:
I believe there are Bluetooth network protocols that mesh that would work for messaging and not require cell service. It would be smart to organize using something like that and just use any cell phone without cell service turned on. That still gives you the ability to call 911 in case of emergencies as well.
- Comment on Losing_weight_IRL 4 weeks ago:
Yep, and i wouldn’t go back to any other style at this point. It’s way too convenient.
- Comment on Losing_weight_IRL 4 weeks ago:
That’s not the original. That’s some off name. But this specific one is the one I bought a couple years ago because the buckle uses less metal and i can get through the metal detectors at the airport with it. My old one would set it off at my local airport every time. That’s extremely annoying when your job has you travel every week.
- Comment on Losing_weight_IRL 4 weeks ago:
This style of belt a.co/d/dm47Zve? I know I love mine. It’s great even for the natural daily fluctuations.
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 5 weeks ago:
This also makes sense. Dell is massive in the dataceneters. As a consultant I’ve worked with Dell hardware far more than anything else. I will say, just about every customer I’ve worked with is interested in AI, but they want to run their own models, not some half baked thing from Dell.
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, that’s pretty quick to learn that lesson. Huge corporations usually take way longer to figure that sort of thing out. Usually not until it’s too late.
- Comment on If I go crazy will you still call me Superman? 5 weeks ago:
Doesn’t kryptonite just rob him of his power and severely weaken him? It’s like uranium both the time accelerated.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 1 month ago:
No kidding. I know it doesn’t change their point. You could tell by the way I said it doesn’t change their point. The original commenter might not have known it’s to the point of models consuming their own synthetic data. They may have learned something.
- Comment on Finally a website where you can test if your private key is leaked inspired by haveibeenpwned 1 month ago:
I have some other keys for different things like “service accounts.” But I mainly have one personal key I use for things that need ssh keys.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 1 month ago:
The training sets aren’t all human created. They have models that feed other models training data.
- Comment on Finally a website where you can test if your private key is leaked inspired by haveibeenpwned 1 month ago:
My key is used in so many places I’m reluctant to update it. I probably should, even just to use newer crypto standards.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 1 month ago:
I was and still am a very picky eater. I’ve started cooking for myself and have become dramatically less picky. However, I’m still not a fan of raw onion. I almost like them more the more they are cooked. I don’t like raw onion, but I love caramelized onion. I guess it’s really I just don’t like the texture of raw onion.
