This is the way.
- Comment on Common printing questions 4 months ago:
Yep, tried those too. I do appreciate the suggestion though, truly. It’s just not something I’m cut out for it would seem. I really do need to look at selling my printers and getting out of the hobby. It was fun for a while, now it’s just a chore. Which is probably why I haven’t done it in 2+ years, lol.
- Comment on Born from the tragedy of gun violence, this program teaches children how to stop a wound from bleeding out | CNN 4 months ago:
Also, earthquakes and fires aren’t something that can be stopped through legislation.
What CAN be done about both of those things is to mandate proper building codes to minimize the risk.
Perhaps we could apply a similar concept to guns…
- Comment on Common printing questions 4 months ago:
Yeah I went through his channel too but something about it just doesn’t seem compatible with my brain, lol. Like I said, I really should just sell my printers. They haven’t been used in 2+ years and are just sitting here taking up space and collecting dust.
- Comment on Common printing questions 4 months ago:
This was the second half of my problem honestly, I can’t for the life of me figure out how to 3d model stuff. I’ve gone through tutorial after tutorial so clearly it’s me.
I actually have stuff I’d like to print but I’m not competent enough to model it. I’m the n00b just printing stuff I can download from the internet.
- Comment on Common printing questions 4 months ago:
I went a little crazy on 3d printing during covid. I had a single printer prior but purchased two more. I haven’t printed on ANY of them in like 2 years. I end up just printing stupid shit or because I go so long between printing wasting way too much time to get everything dialed back in. Now I don’t even know what my slicing settings were and I would have to probably start from scratch. I should probably just sell my printers…

Toyota is working on that, lol: insideevs.com/…/toyota-ev-manual-transmission-tes…
- Comment on Ordered back to the office, top tech talent left instead, study finds 6 months ago:
I work for a 350k+ company doing grid mod for energy utilities. The head of our division had an “all hands” meeting earlier in the week saying based on client requirements we all need to be in an office or on the clients site.
The head of our group of ~20 (my bosses boss) scheduled a meeting right after and said ignore that. Our team is kicking ass and our current client has not such requirements (other than onsite at their location for training/go-lives which is reasonable). Furthermore, he said unless it was out of his hands this could be the normal with new clients.
We have a killer team from all over the US (many of whom are nowhere near the client or our company offices). This team would dissolve quickly if that mandate ever hit us.
My point is, there ARE still people in upper(ish) management that understand to keep top talent you have to be willing to accept or embrace work from wherever. Hell, during the last go-live last hear he basically said unless absolutely required he didn’t WANT any of us on-site with the client. He wanted us all comfy, no jet-lag, in our normal settings to be able to troubleshoot issues. Granted, I worked nearly 80 hours that week, but that’s not a normal week. I usually work 30-40.
lol and holy wall of text batman. I didn’t mean to write that much but it’s here and I don’t want to delete it.

Doomsday clock? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doomsday_Clock
That’s my only guess.
- Comment on My bioluminescent petunia 6 months ago:
I got mine yesterday! It had a very, very slight glow last night. I’m hoping once we re-pot it and fertilize it the glow will get brighter.
- Comment on How much maintenance do you find your self-hosting involves? 6 months ago:
Typically, very little. I have ~40 containers in my Docker stack and by in large it just works. I upgrade stuff here and there as needed. I am getting ready to do a hardware refresh but again with Docker that’s pretty painless.
Most of the time spent in my lab is trying out new things. I’ll find a new something that looks cool and go down the rabbit hole with it for a while. Then back to the status quo.

Still works for me as of 1900 UTC.

Fuck, I read that wrong. Pre-teen would be 12 or younger right? What the actual fuck?
- Comment on Dell finding ways to absolutely suck as an employer 8 months ago:
Management doesn’t care as long as line go up. Corporate America is constantly chasing short-term gains and damn the future.
- Comment on Broadcom yanks ESXi Free version, effective immediately 9 months ago:
Really glad I made the transition from ESXi to Docker containers about a year ago. Easier to manage too and lighter on resources. Plus upgrades are a breeze. Should have done that years ago…
- Comment on The FTC isn’t too happy with Microsoft’s Activision Blizzard layoffs 9 months ago:
Or even give them a good BLAST.
- Comment on First game you played 9 months ago:
It was a racing game I can’t remember the name of on our first computer, a TI-99.
- Comment on When people talk about returning the cart after shopping, does that include putting it in a corral, or do you have to take it all the way to the front of the store to be a good person? 9 months ago:
I guess that might be fine if you live somewhere were weather doesn’t exist…but runaway shopping carts slamming into vehicles and causing damage is a real problem.
- Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast” 9 months ago:
Yup, streaming has just become cable v2. I dusted off the VPN and went back to that. As a famous someone once said:
Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem
If the experience with piracy is FAR superior to streaming you can guess which way I’m going to go…

lol I love it. You’d think by now people/companies would be aware of this…
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 10 months ago:
Honestly it’s been a yearish since I’ve tried and my memory is shit so I don’t have any specific examples I can give now. In general though the bulk of my searches involve:
- A local company I need for xyz or a specific type of restaurant
- Issues/repairs for a specific make/model/year car (I do lots of my own work)
- Various homelab related things (docker services for xyz)
- Details about a movie or TV show (sometimes a specific episode)
- Prices for products and where I can get them (trying to de-Amazon)
- How to fix xyz in my home
I’m sure there are more, but those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
- Comment on Google Search Really Has Gotten Worse, Researchers Find 10 months ago:
I’ve tried, many times over the years, to use DDG and you are 100% spot-on. I find it damn-near impossible to find what I need without some deep voodoo magic to somehow craft the perfect query. It’s been a decade+ since I’ve gone to page 2 of a Google search. Using DDG I can be 3 or 4 pages deep before maybe finding the answer. There is SOOO much irrelevant stuff to filter through.
It sucks, I don’t want to use Google, but there doesn’t seem to be a great alternative.
- Comment on AI “Black Box” placed in more hospital operating rooms to improve safety 10 months ago:
In before some company pops up to “centrally manage” all this data that 90% of the hospitals start using then said company gets hacked. There is exactly zero chance this gets stored securely and a minuscule change is gets stored locally.

- Comment on DOJ Slams XCast with $10 Million Fine Over Massive Illegal Robocall Operation 10 months ago:
Slam, blast, etc. It’s gotten REALLY old and stupid. It also means nothing. “Slam” in this context is at least something tangible. “Slam” in another context could be a critical post on Twitter.
- Comment on Watch a 13-year-old become the first person to ever beat Classic Tetris 10 months ago:
In this case, “beat” is causing the game to crash, lol. You can also roll the levels over (in theory) from 255 back to 0. The game gets glitchy at level 138 though so a human rolling over back to 0 seems fairly unlikely.
- Comment on Do any of you have that one service that just breaks constantly? I'd love to love Nextcloud, but it sure makes that difficult at times 10 months ago:
Any guidance on this? I looked into Synthing at one time to backup Android phones and got overwhelmed very quickly. I’d love to use it in a similar fashion to NextCloud for syncing between various computers too.
- Comment on Best of Steam 2023: The Year's Top Games measured by Gross Revenue 10 months ago:
I really wish it wasn’t so bloody effective. I absolutely HATE micro-transaction games. At least for the moment there are still going choices on PC or the consoles where you can just buy a game and play it. Mobile gaming has turned into an absolute cesspool.
