And apparently we’re getting - I shit you not - a “healthcare influencer” and ally of brainworm man as Surgeon General.

That dash looks an awful lot like an em-dash

Mmmmmm boozy pancakes 🤤

10/10. No notes.

Sometimes you lose the forest for the trees

That, or they got pwned

Side note: the fedigram is a WILDLY better logo for the fediverse than the asterism.

Nicely done! That’s pretty awesome :)

Though I should point out that it’s also not hard to lock down a windows install a bit more if you don’t make the default account an admin one. But moving to Linux is better imo for a whole host of reasons.

you have to start with “hello”

Indeed, I am. And thank you for noticing.

Yeah, an IP ban would not be out of order tbh

I’m staunchly anti fascist myself, but… there are definitely some complete fucking wingnuts who have attached themselves to the movement.

It’s a thing that already exists.

This is specifically why I’m convinced that the insurrection act is going to be invoked at some point, and then a bunch of the conservative militias will “pop up out of nowhere” and get deputized. And just like that, you’ve got your home-grown all-American neo-Sturmabteilung.

Ezpz just use wine or set up a VM and exfil the data you need

The Hole Truth

There are a lot of extremely strong candidates, but I’m gonna go with Meta on this one.

Lmao I think that’s genuinely the best summary of his writing style that I’ve ever seen

Same, and around the same timeframe.

I never thought that being a history and current events enthusiast would become such a curse. This is some monkey’s paw bullshit :(

Self hosting isn’t likely to ever get to the point of “plug and play”. It’s inherently incredibly flexible and different people will do different things with it. Some people just want NAS. Some people want to build a router. Some people want to have a modest compute farm that they physically own. Some people want a virtualization playground. Or pretty much anything else you can think of, or some combination thereof.

For instance, I custom built a 2-tier + optane cached NAS running proxmox, and I have a handful of old thin clients I can spin up for doing Beowulf things when I feel like it, and I also have another repurposed thin client with an old enterprise-grade SFP+ NIC running pfSense as my router that can support up to 10g (futureproofing).

Right?!?!?

I am so, so deeply sick of telling so many people “I fucking told you so”. My dad is among the most frustrating of these.

Jesus. That’s like… wow. Mental healthcare was the Wild West until very recently. Still feels like it is sometimes, in a lot of respects.
