Maybe if you don’t know CSS?

There are probably thousands of different static website generators that can make a more beautiful website out of the box, for free.

“Zee shed”

If you’re going to screenshot at least crop? But why not just save the original image and avoid (potentially) recompressing it?

I actually know Katakana and a limited amount of Japanese so yes, I know what you mean.

Great point about phoneticized loanwords though!

Tequila is actually a phonetic word in Spanish, lol

To be fair this is terrible road design.

Who uses Grok?

My bad. But why does it taste like shit then?

Not sure about that, but I did see numerous new Coca-Cola products in new flavors that I assume they put together by scraping metrics from these; and if I remember correctly they do have cellular interface.

Six flavor shots that mix with all the others and end up just tasting like a combination of them all. 😷

Honestly I just run Alpine Linux on a mini PC (router) or Raspberry Pi (NAS). I don’t like to screw around with outdated, bloated Debian-based distros.

Probably because I’m vegan and eggs already creep me out. What looks like a coconut with a misshapen yolk gives me bad vibes regardless of whether the image is computer generated or not.

I was alluding to the creepy AI-like imagery. I’m not really interested in the choking hazard debate.

I don’t know what it is but the uncanny computer generated misshaped yolk is what gets me.

The image on the left gives me the creeps.

I bought my current one because IPv6 failed to provision on the one they gave me when I moved to a bigger apartment just two units away. I found some post on Reddit about the problem and it mentioned one that “ignores” the lack of IPv6 provisioning and does it anyway (I’m a programmer and IT geek but I don’t really understand cable/DOCSIS well).

If the modem they provided is just a modem and it works well, I don’t think there’s much reason to get rid of it. But personally if it’s an all-in-one box that has “bridge” mode I’d still run away and just go with my own modem.

I’m on Spectrum and have tons of friends that always complain they’re shit. Spectrum itself isn’t shit, it’s the garbage equipment they set you up with.

Make sure whatever you get works well with IPv6. For whatever reason IPv4 can go out at random but their IPv6 has never failed me (in the Los Angeles area at least).

mesh network

Or traditional network with Ethernet backhaul and lots of access points. I really wish mesh networks would die off honestly.

This is actually why I usually install a VPS in whichever country I’m physically in—my end devices always appear to be connecting to something innocent in-country (like a corporate VPN). That VPS then does the double-hop out of the country so that the VPS also seems pretty innocent too.

I don’t think it’s actually more secure though since the VPS is in my name and it’s technically decrypting everything. But I’m a bit less paranoid about that. (I’m not doing tons of illegal shit anyway.)
