What a marvelous testament to nature that this creature evolved to specifically mimic the adhesive medical strip so perfectly that I can’t even tell the difference.

I don’t really mind it not being e2e encrypted, since it’s hosted on my own hardware, but that’s good to know.

I just set up my own Matrix server. Holy shit that was annoyingly hard.

I’m not even done. I have to set up Element Call for audio/video.

I’ve been dragging my feet to migrate my support servers for SMUI and Port87 from Discord to Matrix. I think now is the time.

My whole work and home networks are all Unifi stuff. I absolutely love them. Way more reliable than anything else I’ve ever tried.

Check out RAM prices.

Weren’t you also the Lead Safety Engineer at OceanGate for a while?

Oh no! They’ll have to actually think!

I was a manager at a RadioShack. And it was a franchise, so it’s even less verifiable (I think). Not a regional manager though. Oh, I mean, I was a district manager.

Though it’s not technically unique to Port87, I haven’t seen any other email service that lets you do it with simple toggles. Sieve is more powerful, but also harder.

I could not possibly care less about GoG’s marketing emails. They all go into a Port87 label that is set to mark them as read and not notify me.

Microsoft is killing itself with shit vibe code.

I’d love to play games like Fortnight, PUBG, and League of Legends (I know, don’t judge me), but they don’t work on Linux, so they’re just a no-go for me. I used to play GTA V Online, but they added kernel anticheat to that too, and now I don’t play that anymore.

I have Windows, but I’m not booting into another partition just to play a game. I use it for compiling my software for Windows users, and that’s already too much of a pain in the ass. I cannot stand Windows. It’s a bloated mess, and I don’t understand how anyone gets any actual work done on it. Just navigating it feels like a chore.

I would assume it’s because most of them are still children.

I love old hardware. It took me eleven years to finally decommission a top-tier CPU I got in 2015. And that’s only because I got an extra CPU and motherboard from a work upgrade.

I really do not want an AI doing all of those things for me. That would be like giving a four year old full access to my computer.

Since they renamed Microsoft Office to Copilot, they have millions of Copilot users. It’s almost as popular as Google+ when Google made all Gmail users Google+ users.

You want magnets that powerful next to your face?

That is the scariest guitar I’ve ever seen.

That doesn’t sound right unless you’re running the tape at faster than usual speed. Even high quality reel to reel tape is usually running at a speed that tops out around 20KHz. There’s also no reason to record frequencies much higher than that unless you’re trying to record ultrasound. A 96KHz sampling rate can record sound up to 48KHz. Considering even the best human hearing can’t hear above about 24KHz, there’s no reason to use that for music. It’s only if you’re recording something not meant for human hearing, like stress fractures, electric noise, or bird song, that you’d use a recording with that sampling rate.
