- Comment on Slrpnk.net outage 1 day ago:
Not sure about your area, but a wireguard accessible OOB connection is a great piece of kit to keep handy. I use a cheap 768kbps SIM in an Ethernet connected switch into my personal systems. It’s saved my skin numerous times.
I’m sure this is obvious, especially in hindsight, but just mentioning because the existence of IoT LTE data plans for a minimal fee ( $100/year for me in Midwest US) was NOT obvious to me until 2 years ago.

Sending positive vibes, and passing offer of technical assistance once you get access again.
Hopefully it’s an easy fix once you get into things again.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
Not saying represent by any stretch.
If I need X thing to survive, I’d rather get it from a pure and innocent source… If that’s not possible, I’d rather it from the dude with too many boats who charges too much money than the one actively gloating about destroying lives literally and on a much higher scale.
Yes I know lesser evil etc… This isn’t a philosophy course and I don’t need what they’re selling. But many do potentially and I’d rather minimize damage than just let the absolute worst be the default.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
No. “Don’t immediately assume he’s doing the same exact evil” is not the same as “be nicer”.
At the least, it’s “assume other bad motives perhaps”.
My thought is this is just another way to milk money from others. That simple. Not “let’s bribe govts”.
If it’s assumed he’s doing the exact same as Musk, then we either prepare to undo the damage incorrectly, or waste time looking at the wrong stooge.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
Absolutely agree at every part.
My desire would be strong regulation via a real agency (not current US), or alternatively ONLY work via non-intrusive means on the scalp.

So, you are reading things I didn’t write. I’m not defending him about steam games etc… The only good will here about any of it is the work toward better Linux life.
I agree billionaires shouldn’t exist.
I don’t like steam.
I don’t really do much gaming… And it’s worth stuff from GOG.
Chill out. I’m not the fanboi you are looking for.
I’m only saying perhaps he sees $$$ in a venture that is rife with much worse people doing far worse to vulnerable people.
On the off chance better access comes about from rich assholes eating each other, I’m game to at least watch.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
Not advocating for our against but 2 thoughts here:
1: Gabe isn’t Musk. Yes money etc but don’t immediately jump there without other malfeasance please. Caution absolutely but don’t ascribe one rich assholes shit to another.
2: He probably has hard data on accessibility… Possibly more than nearly anyone else. There’s a HUGE portion of the population that can’t use “traditional” controllers or other input devices. And that’s not even going into the medical realm.
Could game Gabe be starting his villain phase? Sure! But until more negative details come out I’m just hoping this is investments he’d use toward a new steam controller.

- Comment on My shower thought these days: Black hole sun, won't you come? Wash away... everything 4 weeks ago:
It’s from the song Aenima by Tool.
The overall flavor of the song itself is similar in kind. TLDR: Can’t wait for a natural disaster to come wash away the inanity via global flooding.
The “Learn to swim” comes from the verse:
I’ve a suggestion to keep you all occupied; Learn to swim.
- Comment on My shower thought these days: Black hole sun, won't you come? Wash away... everything 4 weeks ago:
Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim… Learn to swim…

- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 5 weeks ago:
Tariff = more money into Fed govt. -> funnel money from Fed govt into his and his friends pocket.
This is a faster way to get money out of the populace and into his accounts.

The downside of sitting down is having to stretch to get your balls under those noisy damned dryers after… I need to get a little life preserver for the guys so they don’t get hypothermia while I’m busy.

I’m not sure my ass is up to a single 6-pack, much less tons of them.
I mean sure, lots of grease gives me runs like an Olympic sprinter, but this is a tall order.

- Comment on What is the best political movie? And what is the best apolitical movie? 2 months ago:
Absolutely agree, but also points a sharp point at the general evils lurking behind most politics, essentially nailing an anarchic view of “doing what’s right” as opposed to “doing what’s legal”.

- Comment on Rackspace moving some of its own workloads off VMware 3 months ago:
Different groups selling different things. OpenStack still around, albeit a shell of it’s former scale
- Comment on Rackspace moving some of its own workloads off VMware 3 months ago:
… You do realize that they still have hundreds of thousands of VMs in their OpenStack services? Those are VMs too.
Hell back in 2008 Slicehost had more than 40k VMs before Rackspace bought em.
Wait till you hear about places like AWS or Azure…
- Comment on Why are there triangles in the infill that get filled with one layer? 3 months ago:
Those look like bridge before it would build something in top of a part above where there would have previously been void. Making a scaffold of sorts for something above. Since they have to anchor to existing lines, they stretch between existing infill locations. With lower infill %, you’ll see them more prominently.

- Comment on Researchers discover localized pain relief using known chemical reaction 6 months ago:
If gabapentin is effective but side effects are an issue, you might see benefit from pregabalin (Lyrica). I had similar issues with gabapentin brain fog at the doses I needed for a cervical spine injury.
The description my pharmacist gave when I talked to her was basically all the good stuff turned way up, side effects turned way down.
I’m on high dose of pregabalin now and it’s been life altering.
I’m watching this potentially also, but in the meantime I’m at least functional.
