Hey everyone, this guy has long balls!

It just seems unnecessary when GTFO pretty much suggests the same thing.

What's the H in GTFOH stand for?

Very cool. Also gives off a little bit of a Virtualboy vibe.

I get all my news from memes.

Don't threaten me with a good time.

In regard to controllers, Japan auctions are an excellent source of real-deal OEM controllers in great shape. I've been burned so many times by fake controllers in the US, that I just buy lots of them off of buyee.jp now if I need them.

I don't know, maybe there's a healthy medium? My home computing is still very personal.

I will hang out on IRC with friends, while I hack away on my low-tech coding projects in the background.

My smart phone is primarily used for comms and navigation, and I'm not stuck to it out in public.

I refuse a smart home, and the only mindless automation I take part in is dedicated to movies and TV.

Circling back around, I do feel like not all hope is currently lost.

And dumb as fuck.

Peroxide, heat, and UV light makes for a good combination.

But it's not without risk, such as streaking or over-lightening. It also isn't a permanent solution, but should buy you a good additional handful of years if the console is stored under optimal conditions.

I have used retrobriting on a few consoles, with decent results. I restored the plastic on a model 2 Japanese Sega Saturn this way, and it turned out gorgeous.

Did I do that?

The plastic on the SNES was some of the worst ever, when it came to UV discoloration. Though the SNES Jr. model specifically fairs pretty well, and has the additional benefit of being a 1CHIP model.

 

For me, it's corn on the cob.

A recent greentext post about an imaginary wife made me think of this.

Have you ever had a dream, where you fell in love with a dream character?

I've had at least a couple over the years that I can vaguely remember. The dreams were so vivid, and the feeling of love for this imaginary person was so strong, that I woke up feeling rather heartbroken and a sense of longing.

Anyone else?

 

Every boomer with a bird feeder hates squirrels. I don't understand.

 

It tries so hard to be deep and shocking, but it completely falls flat. And Gainsbourg's acting is awful in all of them.

I recently created a handful of scripts for polybar, to add some missing functionality that I wanted.

  • VPN status
  • dual battery info
  • connected bluetooth devices
  • available package updates

Thought I might share, in case anyone finds them useful or wants to modify them for other use cases.

Cheers!

 

Anyone ever have cryptsetup just start hanging after entering password on boot? This seems like it's going to be a fun issue to try to resolve...

I use Debian flavors for my daily drivers. I have no complaints, no real desire to switch it up on that front.

However, I am starting to get into self-hosting and homelab projects. I'd like to start test driving some light-weight distros of a different flavor.

I'd prefer a GUI be available, but the environment and WM is pretty inconsequential-- except it shouldn't be bloated. I'll install any additional apps I want, I don't need a curated mid-to-heavy-weight distro.

The plan is to make heavy use of Docker images, to try to maintain a clean and modular setup of services. If that makes any difference.

Suggestions? Any slim distros you're just gaga for?

 

And Babe would have been generating a lot of greenhouse gas.

Are there any privacy friendly dash cams on the market? Something that doesn't phone home, require shady brand apps, force me into cloud storage, etc.

I finally just got around to watching this, and I have a couple things on my mind...

First of all, why oh why would you have another baby, knowing that to do so puts them in danger, as well as the rest of your family?

The girl was a liability the whole time. By my count, she:

  • got her littlest brother killed
  • almost got her other brother killed at least twice
  • left her pregnant and due mother alone, during which she almost got killed
  • made choices that led to her father getting killed
  • got a raccoon killed

Cool concept, annoying characters. Where was all the sand coming from? Won't watch again.
