  • I hope this becomes a big deal and snowballs hard enough to hurt these monsters.

    It’s just so sad, some jaggoff kills your family member on a whim. Just to feel macho. For friggin “branding.”

    And the most reasonable power you have is to “file a complaint.”

    Like, souls are gone. Families torn apart. Grief and anguish beyond comprehension, and legally the only recourse against this sheer bottomless evil is

    “Hey, that wasn’t cool. We’re officially very upset about this. We disagree quite much with your decision to murder our families. Thank you for your time.”

    God, the helplessness just tears at my heart. I couldn’t even imagine.

    There will be no justice until these nazis join their ill begotten brethren in the eternal fires of the deepest pits of hell.




  • “You can set up your own email server at home, for fun!”

    – The 90’s, Probably.

    Lol. I’m kinda sad I missed out on that expressive time of making websites when I was growing up. You’re right, now everything is very homogenized and there’s a billion botswarms just waiting for you to be 3 seconds late to a security update so they can zombify your site for…

    (Flips papers) Crypto somehow… it’s always crypto.

    Internet crime isn’t even cool anymore. Lol





  • Oh definitely! If there’s one thing I’m done with, it’s people calling on speakerphone while their phone is like, seemingly, in their gym bag in the trunk LOL.

    Like bro, you’re not Jack Bauer and I’m not your handler, it can wait until you’re done going 75 on the freeway.

    Maybe my work’s phone network service is just awful, even landline to landline, but yeah, for how much faster data connections have gotten, I feel like I got clearer voice quality on my cordless Vtech in 2004 LOL.

    Maybe it’s me and I should get my hearing checked. 😅


  • The good thing about YOUR homelab is that YOU’RE taking notes solely for YOURSELF and only YOU know how YOU work and how YOU organize YOUR thoughts.

    Normally I’d agree, in that it’s not some corporate production environment, but also I personally want to document my self hosted setup in a kind of document that can at least be accessed and understood by my closest family, if something were to happen to me.

    Convincing them to archive stuff on my Nextcloud instance for example, and them losing access because I’m not around, temporarily or permanently, would spoil the whole point of the endeavor.




  • The standardized NATO phonetic alphabet

    …for when you need to read alpha numeric codes or clarify spellings.

    Especially with, how, inexplicably, phone connections seem to have gotten more garbly in recent years.

    This code was invented to be reasonably understood as much as possible in less-than-ideal communication conditions.

    As time goes on, civilian life is full of situations where you’ll need to read off serial numbers, codes, or even spelling your own name, to somebody seemingly connected to you from a million miles away via coconuts and twine.

    So, learn it, and you never need to go “M as in…uh…'Mancy”'? ever again! Your IT department might thank you.

    …and let’s be honest, it sounds kinda cool. :)
