The Expanse: space will always try to kill you, humanity still sucks, everything still hurts, everything is still dirty.

I remember the hardware situation being very fucked, due to driver authors not updating their shit in time and people trying to get their older stuff working which worked fine under XP, but was incompatible with Vista’s new driver model. It took a couple years until the release of 7 for most of those issues to get ironed out.

KDE because I have 64GB and I don’t care about memory usage and I like using a computer that looks like it’s from the 2010s at least.

Printing debug messages didn’t do much for me for this one time where a class was overflowing a buffer right in the constructor, and everything was fine creating an instance of it, passing it around, etc., until I actually go to use one of its methods later on in the program and it crashes. It was C++ on an ESP32 and I had to decode the stack trace and everything to find it, took me hours because I had to learn what even to do with a stack trace. The Espressif forums kinda suck balls, they are a ghost town.

For higher throughput in middle age, I recommend Edge-ing every so often, and then going back to a real browser.

At what point do the sane people left in the military start following their oaths and start taking those assholes out? Seeing the government drag away innocent citizens should be a clear trigger for action.

Hehehe let’s do Tiger King for Dept. of Transportation next… /Beavis

The lactose intolerant enjoy cereal too.

Before that day, he was just another rich guy to me, a bit quirky and eccentric, someone who had some good ideas for our space industry that needed a good kick in the ass and had the money to make it happen. Space Jesus.

That day was the day the image of him shattered for me. Then came the Dogecoin shit. Now I’m hoping someone, the government, or someone else, anyone, takes SpaceX from him so he can’t get in the way of Starship development and fuck up another good thing. We are so close to 100% reusability, something the Space Shuttle was supposed to do for us.

DHS didn’t exist when I was a kid. Didn’t take them long to create it though.

What exactly would you have Biden do with a person that was elected fair and square by the American people? They are politicians. They are bound by the system. He gave us fair warning.

Surviving it is up to us now.

Smoothwall. I used to run it a lot back in the early 2000s for personal use and even helped set up a couple small businesses with it but I don’t hear of anyone else using it these days, people seem to love openwrt and pfsense more.

It was great for just taking any old x86 machine and making a powerful, fully featured firewall/router out of it, including a VPN server, all through a web interface. Nowadays that’s boring shit but in 2002 it was pretty cool.

Are we just going to let Ballmer walk?

Year 2070: A young man in a dirty, run down, four mile tall high-rise reaching into the smog and covered in holographic ads and QR code graffiti lays down and plugs his newly upgraded gaming system into the port in the back of his head, closes his eyes, and enters the virtual realm for some much needed reality escape. He tests his hardware by running glxgears. The toothed discs appear before him in the empty void, spinning smoothly and silently, assuring him that in a few moments, he can imagine a different life, if only for just a few hours.

Yeah you’re right.
