Same here! I started sprinkling in JavaScript from copy and paste snippets you’d find all over the web and eventually I moved on to PHP (for a small while) then Ruby on Rails.

I’m a web developer and whenever I pay my (awesome) mechanic I always sometimes wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.
A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

Fuck no
- Comment on UK | Oatly banned from using word ‘milk’ to label vegan drinks 13 hours ago:
People who impregnate (rape) and abuse cows for their milk are so insecure about their product that they need to ban competition from using its word. It’s really pathetic to watch.

Fuck I hate being male sometimes. What swamp do these skeezy sexist MAGA guys crawl out of?
- Comment on I went back to Linux and it was a mistake 4 days ago:
I came here to say this. One guy’s experience using some proprietary shit box (the Dell) shouldn’t be representative of everyone’s experience. It’s not fair that Linux developers have to reverse engineer these drivers then get shit on for it down the road.

Having moved from the shoes off Midwest to Los Angeles I’ve found that basically anyone non-Asian is wearing shoes indoors.

My wife is a dentist and this would totally be her response.

In the US we’ll do anything but build fiber with the billions we tossed at the telecom industry.
- Comment on No need to be rude 2 weeks ago:
I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.

In any case it’s despicable.
- Comment on Why does my ISP sometimes give one IPv6 and another with a different subnet? 4 weeks ago:
Are both subnets public?

Did you have a bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?
- Comment on Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026 5 weeks ago:
I think a language’s usefulness is rather subjective and subject to experience: I love learning all sorts of languages that I have no daily exposure to but I wouldn’t say knowing them is “useless.”

OxyContin only ever made me feel dizzy and kind of crappy.
- Comment on reverse proxy over vpn without docker? 1 month ago:
If you see a Docker solution that looks nice just look at how it’s built and replicate whatever software is packaged in its
Dockerfile. - Comment on It's the truth! 1 month ago:
I was always curious about this! I’m bilingual and I always get mixed up because they’re actually called “purple onions” in Spanish. I always forget which language calls it which, but knowing this is definitely helpful!
- Comment on PLEASE 1 month ago:
For whatever reason I actually found this more difficult to read (not driving). Maybe it was the color choice?
- Comment on Router VPN? Express put to rest 1 month ago:
My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.
- Comment on Typical monopoly people 1 month ago:
The UK accent is actually more “modern” than the US one because the US one is more aligned with the accent imported around the time of colonialism.
- Comment on big tobacco stopped paying 1 month ago:
I eat vegan chicken nuggets all the time and honestly they taste almost exactly the same. In fact I’d say any vegan version of highly processed meat (sausage, burgers, etc) tastes very similar.
Just recently Starbucks gave me a real sausage patty instead of Impossible and I didn’t even know whether it was “real” meat at first — I had to take another look at it and see that the shape and thickness were different (and the store admitted it was the wrong product when I returned).
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 1 month ago:
They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.
Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accessing Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 1 month ago:
Exactly! It just feels so wasteful. I imagine it’s to sell a higher capacity at greater cost for higher profit.
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 1 month ago:
I used to just use a script with
cronto update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale. - Comment on had to replace my 10 year old cheap corded headphones 1 month ago:
Wouldn’t silicone tips be used for earbuds rather than headphones?
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 1 month ago:
I can’t tell if you’re arguing in favor or against smaller capacity drives but personally I’d like to see smaller sizes on the market for devices that don’t need a freaking terabyte of storage. When I was shopping for a small mini PC I use as a router I couldn’t find anything smaller than 256 GB so I settled for booting Alpine Linux into RAM (“diskless”) from a USB drive.

- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 1 month ago:
Every time I see these guys’ faces I cringe so hard. It’s frankly embarrassing working in the tech industry when most people think of them at the very mention of it.

Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.
