Back in 2004 my dad brought home an ancient HP LaserJet 4L. Simply replacing one internal piece inside with a K’Nex (like Lego) the toner lasted all throughout my high school years.

Why are we shitting on laser printers? I thought the inkjets were the cursed ones.

Scottish people aren’t white? You’re not Scottish? I was talking about the irony that you’re referring to the American in question as a “white shit head” when he’s literally descended from your culture.

But whatever bro, honestly I’m just blocking you and moving on. I just don’t have the patience to play 20 Questions with you.

I was running a bar in Scotland

it transpired that his great grandfather was Scottish

Not him.

America had culture for thousands of years, then some white shit heads did their best to kill it

Aren’t the “white shit heads” in this case from your culture though?

Look, I get it, the US sucks and we are terrible people. But it gets really tiring being shit on by the same people who sent over all the “white shit heads” in the first place.

Could we have an IPv6 one? It’s 2026.

That’s actually very true. I’m vegan these days and I do appreciate the Impossible Whopper very much.

There’s a restaurant near me that only accepts pickup orders via DoorDash so I order there. Then upon pickup they always roll their eyes and yell at all us delivery drivers to stand “over there” like second class citizens. It always pisses me off since I’m not even a driver, but it also prevents me from returning 95% of the time (their food is top-notch).

Yeah, I guess I was broadly speaking about their actual corporate procedures though. Like at BK you’re supposed to just magically know how much of the ingredients go on each sandwich whereas McDonald’s has the self-measuring salt shaker, ketchup, mustard, etc. dispensers.

Burger King vibes, I worked a lot of fast food places when I was younger but Burger King was the most dreadful, disorganized place. McDonald’s already won the burger wars like 50 years ago and Burger King is in no rush to innovate at all.

Troll much?

I second PocketID if all you’re looking for is Passkeys + forward-auth. The others are overkill.

I think I should just start self-hosting at this point.

I mean, why not? I’ve been thinking about it myself too (for other reasons).

Yes! I’ve found myself doing this both personally and professionally. At work we’re using Docker and Kubernetes but the old way of thinking is assuming everything is Debian or Ubuntu so a lot of Bash scripts just break on Alpine-based containers.

But even for those scripts we execute primarily on macOS, I’ve taken the liberty of making them POSIX compliant because you never know who’s using Bash, zsh, sh or what have you.

I tend to use macOS on the desktop (I know, booo) so I’ve landed on Alpine Linux for just about everything else.

I love that you can be on the bleeding edge but also not have tons of baggage everywhere. The downside is of course a lot of times I find myself doing things from scratch.

I generally do eat healthier, it’s just that lately buying a small bag of basic groceries is like $100 so it’s very difficult to justify going there. I can literally eat out every day and spend roughly the same or less money.

Probably, but I’ve also noticed that I hesitate to say “burnt out” anymore because the way I feel now feels beyond the way I used to use the word 5-10 years ago.

I must be brainwashed because I also work from home but I love getting started 15-20 minutes early because I’ve never liked waiting around to work.

I think it’s carried over from my time in fast food and retail because even when I worked night and overnight shifts I couldn’t stand getting up hours beforehand knowing that in that time I’d just have to go to work afterward.

I mean, it’s possible but I doubt it. Maybe if they’re very organized.

I actually do this with email so I know who sold/leaked my email address when I get spam. But this is doing it on the opposite side of equation with phone numbers so I doubt it.
