  Man this picture is such a vibe lol. Love it. :D

  That’s so weird at first look on this picture I was like: “What’s O…P…D? 🤔” LOL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Post your setup. no matter how uggo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Simple, elegant, rock solid. Very nice. :) Love your decals too!

  Wait I see EMT piping for that printer frame… Did you convert an Anet A8 to an “EMT-8” like I did!? :D

  Just seemed like a neat coincidence!

  The stock A8 was such a scary fire hazard lol.

  OMV has such a nice Docker management interface too. I really feel spoiled with it.

  I was planning on all my services running in ProxMox or something, but my OMV VM handles all of them except PiHole basically lol. OMV is snazzy. :D

  Oh yes the red rotary phone…I imagine if it’s ringing, something has gone terribly wrong.

  I’m increasingly seeing neighborhoods where there’s only a sidewalk on one side of the street…and then it terminates for no reason…and then it starts again…

  It’s so bizarre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're called leaves for a reason.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck a fucking lawn.

  Is that kinda like a putting green but for…?

  I’m so glad it was helpful! You’re very welcome! I try to spread the word since NextCloud’s default photo app…scares people away frankly lol.

  I now use an extension to customize the menu, so Memories effectively replaces the default app from a user point of view.

  Using Memories in Nextcloud AiO simplifies things a bit, but I seriously consider it NextCloud’s “killer app.” It’s got EXIF editing, albums, user sharing, folder organizing, facial (and object!) recognition done locally, geo tagging map view…all local. The face recognizing stuff isn’t perfect, but it’s definitely good enough for the most part.

  It’s also very easy to send to people outside NextCloud, but I run it behind TailScale so it’s not exposed to the open net at all. Copying and sending images through something like Signal also works fine. :)

  It even has a neat Android app that sends my pictures to my server whenever I plug my phone in. (And moves them to my SD card in case something goes awry…but I learned I need to manage the cleanup of that part better lol)

  Given all the other neat things NextCloud does, I like how it keeps photo managing in one place too.

  Gonna also throw in: Nextcloud Memories.

  It makes the photo organizing part of NextCloud AMAZING. I’m so happy I got to dump Google Photos for good.

  True! It was then technically named after a meme…which the coin named itself after, as it was supposed to be a “meme coin”.

  Still stands though.

  “Government agency named after meme. Such dumb. So chaos. Woooooow.” Lol

  Oh my gosh that’s so much closer, you’re right. Bet you could totally make a nature-oriented specialization too. :D

  An INT-maxxing Druid? :p

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Elections⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably because in many cases we can’t afford to freakin’ move and resettle in our own country, so it becomes trivia knowledge instead of practical know lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Elections⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Black Mesa? Ha ha. Fat chance.

  Reminds me: In the roguelike game Cataclysm DDA, there’s fungus monsters. Basically once they’re on the map, the best strategy was to just run and keep running until they were out of the game’s “simulation bubble.”

  They would spread fungal colonies uncontrollably, creating fungal towers, spawning more spores, and fungal versions of monsters, which would spread more spores…

  You could hack away at them or burn them sure, but all of them? Unlikely. They’d rapidly take over the entire game basically lol … Dunno if that’s been nerfed now.

  Spores are freaky. Really freaky…

  I’m really surprised nobody else posted this. My first thought was Goldeneye 64’s snow level soundtrack. 😮 Like I could hear it just looking at this image lol.

  “The light won’t turn off! Now to hunt down the ONE SWITCH in the house that’s flipped…hnngg…”

  Troll electricianship would be hilarious entertainment.

  Guys am I autistic?

  Haha might be? But I’m the same way and I’m pretty sure I’m not autistic…(ADHD though)

  I think when you fill that spot between ((“knowledgable”) AND (“good-natured”)), you just like to share what you know if the poster’s sarcasm isn’t painfully apparent.

  Never hurts to be kindly helpful. It reminds me of something my sister told me she tells her kids:

  “Try to learn something new every day, and even if you don’t, teach something.” :)

  …but it checks out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Horrors We've Unleashed⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the caution about unintended consequences but damnit of all the crazy planetary issues we’re dealing with right now, I’d rank

  “oops, got rid of West Nile and Malaria as well as annoying little red bumps from wandering too far from big cities”

  As a win, the consequences of which we can probably figure out how to deal with when we come to it.

  I know it doesn’t work that way but I’d trade all the world’s mosquitoes to keep the polar bears or pangolins or something any day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just So⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kinda glad this is so heavily contested, because I thought I was some kinda “science denier” for being annoyed that there was some “bEcAuSe OuR aNcEsToRs” explanation for everything.

  • Altruism? "CaveBros died without bros."
  • Faith? "Simple explanation of complex universe make ape happy."
  • Complex reasoning? "CaveBros threw selves off cliff or poked predators otherwise."
  • Love? “CaveGals selected for strong sensitive CaveBros.”

  (Disclaimer: I’m being intentionally facetious and making these up in an attempt to be funny. This is likely because my ancestors wouldn’t get beaten with sticks if they made funny joke, the funnier ones got to reproduce, but the trait may have diluted over eons, you tell me.)

  I respect the desire to understand us, but I also think there’s a subset of people that want to reduce the complex beauty of humanity to cold, mechanical, precictable, reproducible determinism.

  They’re easily spotted when they say things like “The concept of the soul is stupid, we’re just a bunch of furless lab accident monkeys that started using tools in an uncaring universe and love is just chemicals mixing because monke needed to maek moar monke.”

  I feel like this stance is prized by the types that want to mind-control the world’s humans with ads, or State coercion, or corporate culture. The same types that enthusiastically rave about one day merging all human consciousness with some giant FacebAmazOogleFliX Ai or something. The same types that have no problem leveraging technology to reduce art, poetry, storytelling, relationships, down to algorithms and claim “There’s no difference.”

  It disrespects the absolute mind-blowing wonder of humanity and our understanding of it, usually to appear smart or edgy for personal gain. And I’ve personally had enough of it.
