He cares enough to raise taxes on Americans, since that’s who will actually be paying the tarrifs.

Snitches without health insurance get butterfly bandages and some nasty scarring.

Yes. I rarely have any sync issues.
- Comment on 'Maybe' financial tracker shuts down, releasing a final v0.6.0 5 days ago:
Personal finance software is tough. It’s costly to develop, even with a very limited feature set. Automatic transaction downloads are a must if you want widespread adoption and that has its own set of complications.
I still use Quicken – which doesn’t get anyone excited since it’s still a Windows (and Mac) desktop app built on an ancient codebase – but I’m a power user and have yet to find an adequate replacement. It’s not sexy but it does the job. I’m more the exception than the rule. The average user probably doesn’t need or care about the same features that I do.
Oddly enough, one of its redeeming qualities is that it runs quite well on Linux through Wine.
- Comment on In search of riches, hackers plant 4G-enabled Raspberry Pi in bank network 5 days ago:
That’s why it’s not surprising at all that a bank didn’t bother to do that. Banks have some of the most egregious security issues.
And really shitty auditors apparently. A good one would have at least spot checked for unsecured ports.
- Comment on Social media has turned to s🔲t because of all the censoring 5 days ago:
People censoring sh*t like we’re all incapable of figuring out what the missing letter is.
Like, “What word is that guys? Oohh it must be one of those naughty words. I guess we’ll never know.”

I’ll have you know I drive a Toyota minivan and shop at Sam’s Club because we don’t have a Costco. Much to my disappointment.

White New Balances. Irrational obsession with turning off lights …which always left on for no apparent reason.
- Comment on What a fantastic deal 1 week ago:
No kidding. Even if you didn’t want them, I bet you could sell them for ~$100 each to the right person. Hell, I would buy them for that. Brand new solid core 6-panel doors run $250 at Lowes. And that’s without the knob holes or hinge mortises pre-cut.

Ok. Now define “good.”
- Comment on datacenter liquid cooling solution 1 week ago:
What cooling solution do datacenters use for water cooling?
They don’t. The servers are air cooled and the room is conditioned with a Liebert or similar HVAC system. Liquid cooling servers is not practical or warranted for most situations.

- Comment on Microsoft saved $500 million using AI — after slashing over 15,000 jobs in 2025 2 weeks ago:
Forget servicing the product. Hell, forget the product. Why can’t they just charge every person alive a subscription for existing? You can choose from monthly or annual, which is slightly cheaper, and either way you get nothing in return.
- Comment on OpenAI just launched its new ChatGPT Agent that can make as many as 1 complicated cupcake order per hour, but even Sam Altman says you probably shouldn't trust it for 'high-stakes uses' 2 weeks ago:
I think in some ways Generative AI is very emblematic of the current state of software development. Projects are approached from the outset with the driving question being, “how can we make money materialize out of thin air?” Not, “What kind of problems are we trying to solve?” Or, “Why would someone pay for this?”
The last several projects I’ve worked on have been solutions in search of a problem. Hyped up products that made executives see dollar signs but didn’t actually produce any because they failed to provide any tangible value.

Horselike Reflexes: When you weigh 900 lbs (408kg) and can run at 30 mph (48 kph) but you’re still scared of your own shadow.
- Comment on What should I choose for interior doors? 2 weeks ago:
Go with solid core wood doors for interior. They’re a lot more expensive than hollow core and more work to install (they usually come unfinished and without pre-drilled holes) but they will last decades, are much better at sound dampening, and can be repainted or re-stained.
- Comment on Tape drive backups 3 weeks ago:
My advice is avoid tape backups. The cost, risk of media degredation, and management overhead make them not worth it, especially for a homelab.
Also, restoring an entire VM is almost easier than recovering a single file, just because of the sequential nature of reading data from a tape. Data recoveries are pretty slow in general.
I backup to an external hard drive with regular copies to iDrive S3. Been doing it that way for a number of years with no problems.

Lol. I knew a guy who refused to tag his car because of some sovcit bullshit reasons. He changed his mind real quick after his wife got a ticket for driving without a valid registration.

- Comment on Bring them back!!! 3 weeks ago:
Ingen went all “move fast, break things” but with genetically engineered apex predators. Pretty much worked out exactly as expected.
- Comment on With LLMs, censoring internet at the router level has become trivial 3 weeks ago:
Boss decided to block anything related to gaming, for example. You visit a small game developer page and it initially works but after a few minutes, you get a “blocked” page (but customers can’t see that because nowadays everything uses HTTPS and they don’t have the self signed CA on their system - they just see HTTPS certificate error). I tried multiple times but always the same result, after a few minutes is blocked.
That’s not “AI”. That’s just a “man in the middle (mitm)” attack. AKA, https proxy. Fortinet firewalls have been capable of that for many years. It’s not uncommon for businesses (e.g. banking and finance) to proxy all internal web traffic in order to make sure personally identifiable information isn’t being shared with shady websites.
Proxying traffic on the guest WiFi is pretty sketchy though.
