@GossiTheDog that was incredibly awful, not gonna lie. Wonder which rainforest had to burn down to render that demo.

@silverwizard if you're looking for minaturized hardware, the minisforum ms01 is REALLY good. Otherwise... I'm not sure about full-size server hardware

I don't want AI models taking all of my favorite media and movies from growing up, enshittifying them, and devaluing the effort and care it took to make.

I'm sick of AI taking my hobbies and my recreation, and telling us all that its a fucking revolution. Motherfucker, its theft.

AI should be doing my fucking chores, not devaluing the things I want to do in my free time.

never do when you can overdo: A guide to excess, and anticipating software developers stuffing shit into javascript that should never be there.

Never thought I'd be able to work in Heisenberg Uncertainty Priciple, Hawthorn Effect, and Freeman's Mind into the same chapter of a book.

this microservice could have been a sql query

and for my next trick, I will beat quantum encryption

@Dio9sys @Viss There was a vuln I stumbled across last year for some SAP product and it was like:

client: let me in
server: why should I?
client: this sweet ass http header says you should.
server: fuck he's got me there. C'mon in.

omfg, the memes are so good #NationalSecurityFuckUps

did you actually drop strategic bombing coordinates and packages on a motherfucking group signal?

I know you end up trading one set of shackles for another. I've been here a minute. I'm not that naive. But it amazes me how some Linux distros make due on a shoestring budget, good will, and still manage to be the backbone of the internet to this very day. That, and pure, crystalline, sharpened, laser focused *spite driving the users and maintainers to refuse to give it the fuck up half the time.

I'm not kidding. I'm gonna actively be looking for a decent desktop Linux OS over the summer.

I'm tired of this. I'll miss my XCOM2 install with 600 mods, but... I can't do this anymore.

I'm trying to install sphinx to build a PDF in windows.

Have to install chocolatey. Ooops, need an elevated window for that.

Choco is now half-installed in C:\Programdata, but the installer doesn't acknowledge that. Delete C:\ProgramData\Chocolatey and try again. Success!

okay now choco install Sphinx "Hey, for me to install this, I need python3 and pip is that okay"

record scratch shake head fuck it, let's see where you go with this.

Installation errors out because Chocolatey wants to install version 8.0.2.20240903 and according to pip "that's not a valid version number dude.

Meanwhile me: python -m pip install Sphinx yeah, sure, I got you.

My fucking face:

tried using the choco windows package manager and hahaha this is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever used.

spite is the catalyst be which miracles are born.

You can call me a sensationalist, or that I don't know what I'm talking about. That's fine. I don't care. still fucking hate cloudflare. still doesn't feel right.

Go to the cloud they said, they won't log your passwords, they said. ItS a TrUsTeD cOmPuTiNg EnViRoNmEnT

consider everything that cloudflare has done with their position of power so far:

-protected nazis
-forwarded abuse claims to nazis for them to hunt the ones making the claims
-hatespeech? more like freeze peach. (Re: kiwi farms bullshit)
-DNS over HTTPS having no garuntees of privacy anywhere
-DoH being used for massive malware campaigns, and no commitments to actually hunt down malicious infrastructure
-cloudflare workers, tunnels and various other services often hosting malware, but then doing fuck-all about it because "Hey, we don't actually host malware"

So, would mishandling passwords really surpise anyone? but don't worry, "we're quirky because lava lamps, lol."

@GossiTheDog Honest to god, this is still the most chill social network out of the options available.

If the worst I have to complain about is "Mastodon HOA" that is considerably better than the feeling of dread and self-loathing that is watching people cut into you and one another for their 15 minutes of fame constantly.

smoke 'em if you got 'em.
