- Comment on What do you do when you're lacking direction in life? 1 week ago:
So much this. If you’re in a hole, a big focus is to just get through the day. Every day you continue to exist, is a wonderful middle finger to the void. If a day is easy, then a week. This is progress worth celebrating. Celebrate yourself and your continued victory over the things that unsuccessfully tried to hold you back.
- Comment on What do you do when you're lacking direction in life? 1 week ago:
In that case, get out where people are. Best situation is to join a sports team or some other club based around an activity.
Perhaps you have some hobby or interest that you always wanted to do something about. Now is the time.
Or flip it upside down: check in your area (library? local newspaper?) to see what is going on in your area. Maybe somethings tickles your interest? If in doubt, check it out.

This release also brings you […] a new font face (“The-name-must-not-be-named” Sans) that improves reading legibility, especially for numbers and smaller text
What’s the story about that font name? I’m out of the loop.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, we are.
The only good thing about it is that it isn’t the alternative: total nuclear annihilation. (Some days I wonder if that would be better)
- Comment on The productivity paradox of AI coding assistants 2 weeks ago:
I see myself as a project manager and executive producer. I know I don’t write that code, and I couldn’t even if I tried.
But I am skilled at directing and verifying, and this has allowed me to create (not code) a fairly complex WordPress plugin for course bookings with online card payment processing etc.
I have made a few manual tweaks here and there but that code is 98% Claude. And you know what? It works. That is good enough for me.

You are ice cold metal, my friend 🤘

Unpopular opinion: LCARS is utter garbage UI.
Sure it looks cool in the TV series, and its brand recognition is spectacular. But actually using it? Horrible.
- Comment on There aren't any ancient ruins with crazy traps and riddles 3 weeks ago:
There was one! Look up Forrest Fenn - the podcast *Cautionary Tales has a double feature about it (S6E44-45). True riddles, and treasure hunts, and some deaths despite no traps being set.

Then use… a camera??
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 4 weeks ago:
Also depends on how you phrase the question to the LLM, and whether it har access to source files.
A web chat session can’t do a lot, but an interactive shell like Claude Code is amazing - if you know how to work it.

Too old, maybe?
- Comment on Cory Doctorow proposes how to break free from US digital domination 4 weeks ago:
In light of recent events, other countries should drag Trump to the ICC and thence straight to the gallows.
- Comment on Selfhosting with a seven year old 1 month ago:
This is confusing. So, Luanti is basically a clone of Minecraft? The docs say how to download the basic platform, and then to download any game.
But where do you start? There’s no recommended or default game or world?

Imagine being so much snowflake that a simple font upsets you. Words fail.
- Comment on When washing, should I turn garments inside out? 1 month ago:
Recent studies by consumer organisations indicate that washing at “cold” is just as effective as higher temperatures, for everyday clothing. But it saves a ton of energy and is a lot cheaper.

- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 1 month ago:
I’m thinking what if you created a Docker container that contained just Docker. Then you could run that container within itself, recursively. Much easier than starting from zero at every level.

Mr Litch, reading your response was incredibly satisfying. Giving such a wonderful long-form response to a fairly simple question is remarkable. Thank you so much!
- Comment on Whats a good and proper alternative google message thats clean but better with privacy? - for texting 2 months ago:
Yeah, biggest product feature for me, and when they dropped it I dropped them.
Why can’t we habe nice things? It’s all going to shit. Either because of greedy corpos, or because of bad people (sometimes one is caused by the other).

Just use Notepad++ instead?
- Comment on CopyParty is kind of a great file server 2 months ago:
I checked my setup, and webDAV is indeed what I am using. Good that they made it impossible to accidentally use an unsafe method.
Thank you for the explanation!
- Comment on CopyParty is kind of a great file server 2 months ago:
Isn’t SMB the thing that makes it available to Windows? What’s the issue?
- Comment on How do I not kill my Iomega ZIP drive I just got? (The experiences I've heard of scare me) 2 months ago:
Zip drives are known for the “Click of death” sound. If you hear it, it’s dead. You could probably google that term.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 months ago:
It only feels odd because that is genuinely an incredibly effective means of generation, and we found it very early on because steam is so fundamental. Nothing wrong with sticking to the best method ever discovered.
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 2 months ago:
Yeah but photovoltaic has a yield of less than 50% even for the best panels. Lots of waste there, compared to steam.
- Comment on CopyParty is kind of a great file server 2 months ago:
Copyparty was mentioned here just the other day, and I started using it this weekend. There were comments about security risks though, based on being a small project with a LOT of integrations. Hit sure how safe I feel.
Docker path mapping is needed to let Copyparty show the files I want to access. I run my containers on a server next to my NAS that hosts my files; that’s a little complicated.

You clearly didn’t even look at the article. It’s literally the first point they made.
