That’s a link. They also call them URLs. We learned about them in web class, back in the stone age.

I’ve posted here and had it deleted. So I don’t bother.
The instance I’m a member of had an unused selfhosting comm, and I started using it. Other people did too. Thanks for the shout out. - Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 22 hours ago:
Damn. It took me 3 paragraphs to say that. Good job.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 22 hours ago:
Ok, I quibble with much of what you just wrote, but your first line contained a lucid point.
In essence, you propose that a federated monetization scheme would direct the bulk of the pie to the participants and not to the big corporate interests.
Now that’s a damned interesting thing to consider.
I think its obvious that it would/will go awry. Any time you get non-profits screwing around with money, somebody figures out how to steal it.
But if even a bit more went to the participants and paid for infrastructure, that would be a positive thing.But again … non-profits and coops never handle money correctly. Watch this get all the way to the goalpost and then swoop, it all gets handled with GooglePay. Its doomed. DOOM.

Youtube was a lot more fun before it was flooded with professionals out to make a buck on advertising. This thing you seek … it is not good.
- Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 22 hours ago:
Ok. I can follow this line of reasoning.
If you want to avoid corporate platforms, fediverse doesn’t provide as viable an alternative as one might like.
This is clear, and makes sense. Thanks for the succinct explanation. At least I see some sense here now.I’m not entirely sure that it matters.
Like, when was it decided that the ‘making money’ bit needed to be imported from YouTube? - Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 1 day ago:
Alright already! I’ll work on my upgrade.
I’m wondering if I should just build a new docker and then migrate the data instead of upgrading in place. I bet that’s the easier thing to do in the end. - Comment on The Fediverse and Content Creation: Monetization 1 day ago:
Hey, um … I read your article. Or I tried to.
It lost me at the point where I need to give money to somebody else. So, basically right at the start.To be more specific, your article starts of lamenting that its not convenient enough for me to give money to someone (“content creators”, a bullshit term if I’ve ever heard one) on these federated platforms. “this is a bit of a problem” There’s no examination of whether we should be doing this. Its taken as a given that monetization is a positive goal.
So … I really tried to get there and understand your point, but there’s this vast gulf between us.
Why would it be bad if nobody makes any money off the fediverse?
That sounds good to me. - Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 1 day ago:
Netbox is a hell of a package, of which I’ve essentially only touched the IPAM, and I don’t even use it programmatically. I just use the web console to keep track of 4 subnets and about 50 IPs.
It’s got a whole virtualization section that I haven’t touched, although that would make my device mapping more sensible. I just treat em like they are all real, and only map the physical nics on the hypervisor hosts.
I do keep text notes in Netbox entries, but that’s sort of a backup. If its something I’m likely to need to know, I’ll have a note in Proxmox. Usually login links for apps hosted there and the like. And of course I’ve got a folder full of text files with all my deepest secrets.
- Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 1 week ago:
I’m not real clear what exactly you need to document.
Infrastructure documentation starts with an IPAM.
A good IPAM can help you document all kinds of stuff.I use NetBox.
github.com/netbox-community/netbox?tab=readme-ov-…I’m running it as a Docker container on a Linux VM.
I just looked at their latest screenshots, and it appears they’ve done quite a bit with it since I stood up my copy.
It does even more now. I’ll have to upgrade. - Comment on Beijing Unveils Supercritical CO2 Turbine That Could Upend Power Tech | OilPrice.com 1 week ago:

Read what people are saying. We disagree with your perspective and feel that this issue is justly deserved by Ubi’s behavior. Everyone was very, very clear about this. Our take is this is Ubi trying to hide their failure and blame it on an industry slump. So there ya go. Now you understand the article.

Do you want to know why? Read what people are saying. Ubi’s DRM policies have caused many, many people to lose access to their games. I have at least 4 Ubi games in my Steam Library that I can’t play. So … what’s that? A good $150 they owe me that I’ll never see? Gee. Why would I dislike them? Because they personallyh fuked me.

So ya. Building your own is not a legit option yet. When it becomes more feasible, I’ll be one of the early adopters.

I just looked through the PC Gamer article from 3 days ago. They tore it down a bit. Ya, its pretty VR specific hardware. Looks pretty cool, actually. But it’s two screens built in a curved visor-shaped case. That aint no phone.
I was being silly to point out that it would be very easy for them to jump to just making phones. They are mostly there.
- Comment on Me when Valve releases a phone 2 weeks ago:
I’m probly stating the obvious. I’m usually a little behind the curve
… But this steamframe thing … It’s already a phone, pretty much.
It just needs different apps now.So … Steam just DID make a phone.

Jebus. Ya, I’ll take Valve’s bloatware compared to anyone else’s … so far.
Until they get in bed with Facebook.
And push some new AI girlfriend on me.Goddamn I wish I could build a custom phone OS like Arch. I would actually take the time and do that.
When I get a new phone, it takes me a couple weeks to strip out all the crap without disabling the devices primary functions. Lotta breaking shit and rolling back. It takes for fukin ever.I know open linux phones are on the horizon, at least to some degree.
And when its a legit option, I’ll shell out for a customizable phone.
Until then, I’ll stick to my lobotomized moto-g. - Comment on What a relief! 2 weeks ago:
