Many 2k epoxies aren’t food safe, hence the recommendation of food-safe resin as a sealer.
- Comment on I'm on the spectrum. How do I live the rest of my life? 2 days ago:
Thank you, I thought I was going crazy. Reading through this post and comments had me convinced I’d read it all before: the OP, most of the comments, etc… to the point that I thought the whole thread was just bots reposting old data to each other.
- Comment on The US government could get even more Intel stock if the company ends up losing control of its chip manufacturing business 4 days ago:
I’m happy to see ARM gaining enough traction these days to be a solid alternative to x64. I’m happy to run it for server workloads but I’m skeptical it’s ready to replace my AMD PC desktop.
Granted, I haven’t been paying super close attention to the state of the art for the past few years, but from what I gather Apple was a major catalyst in the uptake of ARM for the desktop. Ironically, we have Intel’s abysmal Skylake QC to thank for that 😅
How is Linux ARM support these days? Any particularly outstanding distro that shines on ARM?
- Comment on The US government could get even more Intel stock if the company ends up losing control of its chip manufacturing business 4 days ago:
You understand it fine.
Intel thought they could get away with their usual MO of “make a leap forward in technology and slowly meter it out over time” forever. Now that we’re running into physics limitations, AMD has fully caught up and even sprinted past Intel for certain workloads.
I used to prefer Intel+nvidia for pc builds, but when the last generation of the Core lineup fell a bit flat I built a Ryzen+Radeon setup that’s been kicking ass for years.
I’m content to just let Intel hang themselves with their own rope.

Welcome to Costco, I love you.
- Comment on Docker or Proxmox? Something else entirely? 1 week ago:
It’s not worth the headache IMO. Just run a docker VM and use lxc for the one-off systems that you want to experiment with.
I have a “production” docker VM and a “sandbox” docker VM and prod only ever runs compose files that I’ve vetted in sandbox. Super stable, basically bulletproof, and still has the flexibility to experiment and break stuff without affecting my core services.

- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
Chrome = virulent nonsense at this point
When they changed the behavior of the android version to only allow google password manager or a third party manager, they lost my interest completely (and they were already on the cliff’s edge because of the adblocker bullshit).
Exported all of my gpass passwords and switched fully to vaultwarden and Firefox mobile.
The internet is steadily regressing.
- Comment on On Black Holes... 2 weeks ago:
It is impossible for anything with mass to travel at light speed. Even if it were possible, entities traveling at light speed (1) do not experience time, at least not in the way that a sub-lightspeed entity does, and (2) are effectively unable to communicate with sub-lightspeed entities. In fact, the only thing they can “communicate” with is the thing they’re going to collide with due to relativistic beaming.
So given the above: if you imagine that you were traveling at light speed toward a black hole, you’d have to think of it as experiencing your whole existence simultaneously. Your creation, crossing the event horizon, being stretched by tidal forces, and collision/absorption into whatever exists inside the sphere… all happens at once.
- Comment on On Black Holes... 2 weeks ago:
That’s not entirely true for a sufficiently large black hole. It’s possible to cross the event horizon before tidal forces are strong enough to cause problems. You’ll definitely be ripped apart eventually, but you’d at least be able to see the inside before you become atomic spaghet.

Turns out the old gag “You can’t get there from here; You have to go somewhere else and start” is actually true for btrfs’s RAID support.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Bro The RAID Fuckin’ Sucks
ZFS for “RAID” is fine. Btrfs for a single disk (or on top of mdraid or hardware raid) is also fine.

In my experience, Pulumi can best be described as a waste of time.

- Comment on So GOG going to relist Devotion? Seeing how they're about freedom to buy games. 4 weeks ago:
This entire controversy is from 2020. Spoiler: GOG did not, in fact, relist the game. Red Candle sold it on their own storefront, and both Steam and GOG retained a tally in the “bends over for CCP” column.

By not voting at all, you cemented Trump’s victory.

- Comment on Why is having a lawyer present during police interviews "opt in" rather than "opt out"? 2 months ago:
Also, you are not guaranteed a free lawyer. To be appointed a public defender you have to apply for one and prove your income; over a certain amount and you’re expected to hire your own lawyer.
The court can’t deny you access to a lawyer, but they don’t have to give you one if you can afford your own.

I can attest to projectivy and smarttube, they are great. I went with the internet’s recommendation on the $20 Walmart/onn Google tv 4k box, with projectivy as the launcher instead of the default.
My only gripe so far is that the remote doesn’t seem to consistently turn the box on, I have to go unplug the box every so often to reset it. probably some misconfiguration that’s making it not wake from sleep correctly.
Despite that issue, 10/10 experience: ad free YouTube, fast jellyfin in 4k, fully customizable ui…
