I’ve been trying to find some good blogs that offer some fact driven counters to the insanity. So far I just have Where’s Your Ed At, I would love to add other ones to my list.

If you haven’t yet, check out the latest steamos update - they finally added battery charge limits it won’t help a dying battery get better, but it may stave off the demise.

- Comment on How can I properly learn deaf sign languages? 1 week ago:
Well, looks like the National Institute for the Deaf (NTID) had at one point partnered with Georgia Tech on an app, PopSign, but that download link doesn’t work anymore.
Similarly, NTID had a free class, but it got cancelled.
I’m a little surprised there isn’t more from the first (and largest) national technical dead institute…

I love my steam deck. It’s the reason why I finally ditched Windows for Linux on my gaming PC.
This past week I got into emulation on it and have been shocked at how well it has been performing.
- Comment on how to set up a remote managed node for mom 2 weeks ago:
We were visiting for about a week and I think it took three separate days, about 20 minutes each day before she felt comfortable doing the VPN stuff herself.
It was definitely painful, but if you’re patient, it’s doable.
Good luck with whichever option you choose!

Speaking as someone who has recently taken on a far-remote (e.g. about 22 hour drive away) support for a MIL, the best thing you could do is set up a VPN.
- It works both ways (typically) so you can easily remote in to their system when they’re on the VPN for updates/troubleshooting
- it minimizes the hardware “on-site” at their location
- Depending on your VPN client, it can have an easy to use GUI, further lowering the barrier if your remote person is tech-inept
For me, I’m still on Plex with a very old lifetime account with my MIL using a dedicated user account - that access is over the Internet. The VPN is to provide access to Overseerr so that she can do things like request specific movies/TV shows without having to email/call.
It’s not perfect - one day I woke up to 26 seasons of “Into the Country”, but it works fairly well.
I sat down with her one day while visiting about a year or so ago and walked her through connecting to the VPN, then getting to the hosted site, then disconnecting from the VPN - basically running drills and making her take notes until she felt she could do it by herself.

- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 3 weeks ago:
Definitely not OP, but I wouldn’t mind remasters of the first game to address the wonky controls. Witcher 2 was fine, but trying to go from Witcher 3 back to Witcher 1 for the first time was not a great experience for me.

- Comment on How do you document your Homelab? 3 weeks ago:
I use netbox too - and if you’re careful about it, you can actually use terraform to create the netbox details. I use one manifest file to handle deployment to Proxmox, set up DNS in PowerDNS, and create the relevant netbox entries.

Yeah, evidently they really, really want you to sign up. They upped the period from the first three years to as long as you own the car (it doesn’t transfer to a new owner if you sell it).

When I bought my Hyundai they pushed fucking hard to sign up for their Blue link product. Free for life! Look, map updates! You can personalize your driver profile pic! Want to remote start your car over the Internet?
Luckily, my VIN wasn’t working for registration (I guess it hadn’t quite gone through fast enough that the car was purchased). I’ve gone two months without BlueLink and I’m hoping that’s saving me from some of the info gathering (or at least it’s not directly linked to me.

- Comment on Keep Tabs On Your Vehicle’s Needs With LubeLogger 2 months ago:
I bought a car that comes with a “free” 300k/30 year warranty, but only if to do oil changes every 4k miles or 3 months. Maybe this guy has something similar?
For me, I may try And keep it up for a bit, but driving to one particular dealer every 3 months just to get a ridiculous warranty that will probably never actually pay out isn’t worth it.

- Comment on IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts 2 months ago:
I filed mine mostly because I knew I was going to be getting a refund. I wanted to make sure that I got that money before the IRS was completely fucked. This may be the last year that I purposely overestimate my tax burden (e.g. paying more in taxes than I ideally should).
In the past, people would say that you’re giving the government an interest-free loan - I didn’t really care about that because I knew I would get that money back later. Now? I’m not so sure.
