One of my favorite standup sets of all time

Guys, I didn’t mean out, but I hope my Future Woman With Corn post wasn’t the thing that set off this whole train.
- Comment on Burger King now selling "Mystery" menus 5 days ago:
Most of the time, I choose the smallest offering when I go out because even that’s more than enough. I don’t think I would be happier with a triple bacon monstrosity.
- Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud 6 days ago:
It’s been a long while since I used it and at one point I did figure out how to browse it, but I remember documentation pointing out that it’s meant to be left alone and do all your file management through NextCloud itself.
Sometimes I needed to do big file operations or drop in a chunk of data straight from the server, but it wouldn’t ingest those files unless I did a sync or upload them using the client.
Maybe things have changed, but last I used it, it was 14 services that were all sort of good when I needed the service to do one thing really well.
- Comment on The Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake will release in March 2026, according to the latest whispers 6 days ago:
I played it like 2 or 3 years ago and had a blast with it all the way through the full campaign again. I wouldn’t say it’s the best story, but I loved traveling all around the sea and meeting all the characters. I’m into AC games for the immersion and gameplay. Story is the last reason I play these.
- Comment on Fuckin' PSYOP 6 days ago:
It all circles back to the mistake that was corporate social media and enragement-boosting. They made the system to get people addicted, but without considering, or outright ignoring, the cost.
- Comment on The Assassin's Creed 4: Black Flag remake will release in March 2026, according to the latest whispers 6 days ago:
I have about 6% confidence this will capture what made me enjoy the first game. I’ll probably just replay the original again.
- Comment on Bad experience on selfhosting nextcloud 1 week ago:
I constantly would get files stuck in the database that I couldn’t delete. All of the forum parts would talk about going into the database to fix it, but the whole point of NextCloud for me was to completely avoid database management.
I’ve fallen back to using DUFS or copyparty for most things since I really just needed my file store to be browsable via web in some cases.
I probably would still be using NextCloud if they didn’t obfuscate the file system.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 1 week ago:
I’m more thinking about government. I gave up on trying to avoid ad tracking forever ago. But if you think a VPN keeps you safe posting “anonymously”, it doesn’t. That’s more what I’m referring to.
- Comment on Browser Fingerprinting And Why VPNs Won’t Make You Anonymous 1 week ago:
The only real advantage you gain is being able to watch things outside your region. Without lots of work, you’re pretty easily traceable on the modern internet.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds is surprisingly optimistic about vibe coding - except for this one 'horrible' use 1 week ago:
He hits it on the head. Good for personal projects, terrible for maintained/mainstream ones.

- Comment on Do you think there would eventually be technology to delete/replace memories (like the *Men In Black* device). How much do you fear such technology? (like misuse by governments/criminals) 1 week ago:
Still Jim Carey’s best role. This movie wrecks me emotionally every time.

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 2 weeks ago:
The very rough idea is this:
I have a server with multiple services and only one open port (not counting the SSL port) on my router.
Traffic comes into that one port straight to my server. That server has a reverse proxy installed with a directory of subdomains and associated ports.
It internally routes traffic coming in on my open port to the internal services on the server without having to expose them directly to the internet.
The big advantage is that because it all goes through my server, I can add SSL certs to just that and now all of my subdomain services get the benefits of the SSL cert on the host.
I’m sure there are other uses for reverse proxies, but this is how they work in my setup.

God, I hate autocorrect.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 2 weeks ago:
The new controller and headset have stressed every issue I had with each directly.
It killed me that the original Controller didn’t have a second analog stick. A lot of people tried to claim that the trackpad was a viable replacement, but I just could never get used to it. Loved all the other features.
On top of that, no more light towers! I’ll finally be able to bring it friends’ places to demo! Plus the fact that the headset supports native gaming means no tower needed for some titles. I’d imagine the vast majority of VR-focused titles will run just fine since they almost all target low-spec anyway.
- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 2 weeks ago:
You made pretty much every point exactly how I was going to make it.
I will mention that even as a pretty experienced sysadmin, learning Docker, reverse proxies, and relevant config files took ages because there are treated as assumed knowledge.
Every YouTube video on Docker is 30 minutes shorter than they should be, and terminology for reverse proxies is really confusing if you’re not already familiar.
It’s great to say you shouldn’t use these if you’re not familiar, but these are also probably the most poorly taught subjects in computing right now from my experience.
- Comment on Use Case Scenario For Generative Artificial Intelligence 2 weeks ago:
I was referring to where the lettering meets the hat. There should be some tension around the letters where it’s pulled onto the hat itself. Here, it just looks like they’ve been laid on flat.
- Comment on Use Case Scenario For Generative Artificial Intelligence 2 weeks ago:
This might just be classic Photoshop. It’s pretty easy to generate semi-realistic embroidery previews and warp it a bit to match the hat.
Definitely not real though as there’s no bunching of the hat where the stitches meet.
- Comment on Backups of Backups 2 weeks ago:
I have a file server for copy 1, an external drive with incremental backups for copy 2, and copy 3 is a physically unplugged copy in a firesafe lockbox that I update manually. I don’t use any cloud providers to back up anything.

You’ve said Eraserhead is your most spiritual film. Could you elaborate on that?
No
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 2 weeks ago:
But that’s just it. I just ignore it and move on. I will feel worse emotionally and morally if I yell at someone than if I passively move on with my life. I don’t care of they win according to their rules. I’m winning according to mine.
- Comment on Why aren't people harassing marketers? 2 weeks ago:
- I’m not that type of person. I don’t have it in me to rip someone apart that I don’t know personally.
- They aren’t personally responsible. They’re on the bottom just like us.
- The people who make the money will just continuously recycle employees because they know they can.

Definitely interested. Would love to take an early peek.

I think there’s a couple of Bond villains with similar setups. Not sure how I feel about that, but felt it was worth mentioning.
