I watched Linus Tech Tips, and NCIX Tech Tips before that. My wife and I were discussing how the level of information was tanking but the production quality was great, then GN released their video a few weeks after we stored watching LTT and I unsubsidized.

The wonderful result of Microsoft and Qualcomms exclusivity agreement.

There are other ones, this is just the obvious one. I’ve only spotted one other in the wild and I forget where it was.

Here’s one on Google maps https://maps.app.goo.gl/55qqbQRYY7abKPVy9 I drove past this for years without thinking about it until one day I drove under it.

Now that I know what it is, it’s pretty obvious, but how often does the average person really inspect houses as they drive by?

Edit: maps links suck, 3911 Frances St, Burnaby, BC V5C 2P4

Underground railways use houses for ventilation as well.

There’s a few things from dos that have a permanent place my soul. A:/KEEN.exe, idkfa, iddqd and gorillas.

I asked my dad if he had any money saved to help with college and he told me that people like us don’t go to college. I dropped out in grade 11. I hope to graduate university in three years from now at the ripe old age of 41.

Rabble. It’s themed with my other devices, Pibble, Pabble, and Ribble.

“It’s a Rust based…” You son of a bitch, I’m in.

It’s true. Time and time again these fools are radicalizing their base, and then when it gets out of hand they can’t rein it in and it bites them.

Fox and a handful of right-wing politicians made radicalizing into a profitable business that’s not regulated and freely available to anyone with no scruples and an imagination.

I used logseq for my first semester of university and I can’t see any reason to switch right now.

It handles markdown and KaTeX, so it handles everything I need really, in a fast simple program.

My first thought was " Who has a PLC in their home?".

This guy thinks you can do what you want with Windows.

Disabling updates is such a ridiculous thing because sometimes it works, and sometimes Windows just ignores you.

I’ve literally had two exact model laptops running as local render servers, fully updated, then disabled updates/reboots on both, around a month later one updated and rebooted dumping my workload and corrupting my database. Disabling anything on Windows doesn’t always work, it does what it wants.

Greenbell Nail Clippers. They’re expensive, like $20 but holy ducking shirt are they amazing.

Honestly, we don’t know. Average laptop screens haven’t had any major improvements since IPS, so I think the screens have longevity. RAM and processors are more focused on lower power nowadays. Framework has already shipped “drop-in” replacement boards, and their whole company is based around that idea.

If I had the money and i could afford to wait, I’d be willing to take a bet on Framework. I think the frame of the laptop will hold up as well as any other, but it’s only been a few years so who actually knows.

Laptops from 6 years ago hold up well enough, except the batteries and main boards, if I could have replaced my old main board with a more modern processor and gpu I never would have had to upgrade.

You only need to eat two meals a day, really.

I’m an absolute whore of a human for Mitsubishi ‘Uni’ Pens. I don’t even like writing, but their Jetstream line are cheap and should be the ubiquitous goto pen. Everytime I have to pick up a bic, I die a little inside.

Since I’ve moved from a coast to a more inland city, a lot less. It sounds gross, but I’m down to once every other day. I don’t sweat as much, my clothes don’t stink as much, and I don’t feel as ‘swampy’ as I used to. Also if I shower everyday here my skin goes bananas dry.

There’s an old adage for cars that I think applies to home servers.

Fast, Cheap, Reliable. Pick two

In my experience, SBCs take a whole lot more tinkering than I like to do. I bought a cheap matx motherboard and a second hand ryzen 2400g which has served me well. Inside a second hand htpc chassis with an ssd for the os and a couple hdds for storage. It even has a 5.25" bay I can install a drive for ripping. I’d rubbing OpenMediaVault with Docker for Sonarr/Radarr/Overseerr/Nextcloud etc.

It’s probably not the cheapest to run, but it was cheap to buy and it’s very reliable because it’s based on x86 so the support will probably outlast me.

I was once given a couple of hand planes, and instead of restoring them I gave them to a woodworker who worked for the same company, thinking “When am I ever going to use a hand plane?”.

Turns out about one a week I was borrowing one from him. They’re super tools to have!
