This is useful but to be candid I’m not looking at memes for intellectual stimulation so it’s more effort than I’d like.

I’ve been wanting to play this for a while and that price made it an instant buy. Really glad I did. Some of the strawberries are hard and unfair tho, haha.

I really wish the government would do their goddamn jobs regarding monopolies. Instead they are just accepting bribes and facilitating the mergers.
- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 1 day ago:
Yeah, I think it’s an unusual case, but I wanted to bring it up to support your point about rejecting their kernel and distro. You can put Incus on a lot of different systems. Don’t like systemd? Put it on Void. Want a declarative setup? NixOS. Minimalist? Alpine.
Do I want to maintain a full operating system just to run this one type of software? No, that’s absurd. I want to choose the distro I want to work with and then have the software work on top of it.
- Comment on Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? 1 day ago:
I think I was on a previous account the last time I saw you, glad to see you’re still posting. You convinced me to move from Proxmox to Incus a while back. Sure, I had some growing pains, but it’s pretty smooth now.
I like that I can switch out my distros underneath Incus instead of being stuck on one weird kernel. IME you were absolutely right about that. I’m getting into atomic distros to manage homelab machines. I would not be able to do that on Proxmox.
I also don’t need to edit a giant Javascript file to remove a nag about enterprise software repos, which is nice.

What on Earth.
- Comment on Lemmy is the best social media 4 days ago:
There are still clowns who think that if they say “Blue MAGA” enough people will believe it’s real? Checks the username, oh, of course, it’s one of the regulars lol.
- Comment on Rock Eagle Flag 4 days ago:
I like when they surprise me. “Capitalism perfect, guns good, diversity bad,” builds up a sort of caricature. Then that is completely broken with the weird digression, “HTTPS is bad and imperfect, throw it all out.”
- Comment on Study: Congress literally doesn’t care what you think. The preferences of the average American appear to have only a miniscule, near-zero, statistically non-significant impact upon public policy. 4 days ago:
Is this a reference to some news article or did you get to have a chat with the FBI or something? I respect and support your First Amendment rights if it was the latter.

Take a moment to stop focusing on the day-to-day so we can go out and water our trees.

This comment history is a neat little museum of bad takes.

Hey, that’s not true. If the problem is that billionaires’ bank accounts aren’t full enough, the government will absolutely run truckloads of freshly-minted bills as fast as they can.
- Comment on Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks 4 days ago:
What, take ideas from decades of vehicle manufacturing like a filthy pleb? Listening to lower IQ car engineers with decades of experience is just going to slow a genius like Elon down.
- Comment on Windows 11 is now automatically enabling OneDrive folder backup without asking permission 5 days ago:
Begging people to subscribe to their own hardware will have increased results when they can show you your OneDrive is full. It probably will get them more money than it loses them. They are utterly thirsty for subscription revenue.
- Comment on Common printing questions 5 days ago:
I found a printer in the trash that I grabbed, it had motors and frame but no PSU and mainboard. Five years later it is in worse shape than it was because I took the extruder off. I like to make progress on stuff by just increasing the scope so that it is overwhelming.
- Comment on Common printing questions 5 days ago:
I want to hound people for getting a Bambu. Look at the bullshit we’re dealing with on 2D printers because they aren’t open source with standard parts.

Embrace, extend, extinguish is an attitude for more than one company I guess.
- Comment on Is the Sovol SV08 worth it as a Voron 2.4 alternative? 6 days ago:
That’s the kit I was considering! I figure if their motors are alright they probably are reliable for the other parts. Thank you for all that and the suggestion for discounts!

Twitter has always allowed and coddled “standard conservative discussions.”

Did you do a Voron kit? I’m considering doing one and was hoping you had a supplier you’d recommend.
- Comment on 'One of the wildest Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding 1 week ago:
Just finished the article, it’s not for free at all. Chips need to be designed to use it. I’m skeptical again. There’s no point IMO. Nobody wants to put the R&D into massively parallel CPUs when they can put that effort into GPUs.
- Comment on 'One of the wildest Finnish startup says it can speed up any CPU by 100x using a tiny piece of hardware with no recoding 1 week ago:
Putting the claim instead of the reality in the headline is journalistic malpractice. 2x for free is still pretty great tho.

Oh neat, I was actually planning to set that up to store scripts and some projects I’m working on, I’ll give the tickets a try then.

We built Vikunja with speed in mind - every interaction takes less than 100ms.
Their heads are certainly in the right place. I’ll check this out, thank you!
- Comment on Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome? 1 week ago:
Do you host your ticketing system? I’d like to try one out. My TODO markings in my notes app don’t end up organized enough to be helpful. My experience is with JIRA, which I despise with every fiber of my being.
- Comment on Self hosting is hard. How do you overcome? 1 week ago:
Docker/Podman or any containerized solution is basically the easiest way to get really nice maintenance properties like: updating one app won’t break others, won’t take down the whole system, can be moved from machine to machine.
Containers are a learning curve but I think very worth it for home setups. Compared to something like Kubernetes which I would say is less worth it unless you already know or want to learn Kubernetes.

- Comment on Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges 1 week ago:
Imagine being the wealthiest person on the planet and deciding to burn half of it to ensure that Nazis have an audience for their hot takes. Elon could have bought entire parks of grass to touch instead.
- Comment on This is going to set back medical trust for years 1 week ago:
HIPAA seems to be one of the rare laws that actually results in significant damages. Will be interesting to see the size of the fine on this.
Likely the hospital gets hit as well for allowing him access to medical records on patients he had nothing to do with. Shouldn’t have been possible in the first place.
This guy’s career is over. I’m sure he’ll do okay financially by selling ivermectin to bigoted dimwits, but I doubt he will be practicing real medicine ever again.
- Comment on Elon Musk Begs Advertisers to Return as Twitter's Revenue Plunges 1 week ago:
“Shoot oneself in the foot” is a really charitable description of “inviting all the worst Nazis back on to social media and removing fact checking.”
