Wow wow wow wow... Wow.

I encoded one of the very first mp3's ever made, when it was still a "theoretical" model by Fraunhofer. I sung "I will survive" but in my very bad impression of William Shatner, accidentally posted it many years later on Napster, and found that copy following around many years after that on a torrent site. So, if you have a very old, very fake "Shatner" singing "I Will Survive", it might be me.

I have an old as eff laptop hiding behind my TV, and I use Unified Remote to make my phone act like a wireless mouse and keyboard for it.

Also, Proxmox is basically the answer to "I hate big tech and have a lot of time to kill. How do I deal?" Make one computer into 30 mini servers.

Ugh. Try living here!

Bluefox NX1. It fits in my change pocket.

I'm kind of in favor of throwing every one of the traitors over the southern border by the seat of their useless pants.

And off-site! Don't forget that!

First, buy a domain. Then, set up a server, then a hypervisor on the server, then set up a reverse proxy, punch a hole in your firewall, set up MFA, set up a container, install docker, set up NextCloud using a docker-compose, set up accounts and a client on the devices... Simple!

That's someone who hosted stirling-pdf. https://www.stirling.com/ You can host it yourself, or run it locally in a docker container, but it's a pain to set up. Still, it bugs me that someone is taking perfectly good software, jamming ads in, and is now this "amazing online service".

Hi! I'm in my 40's. My dad is ten years passed, and my oldest brother died in a total freak accident. Before I was born. One of the last things my Dad said was "I'll say hi to your brother for you." My brother died right before Thanksgiving. We never celebrated Thanksgiving, not for my whole life. My mom still gets weepy at Thanksgiving almost 50 years later. This was an accidental death. I don't think my parents would have survived a suicide. I had a co-worker at my last job, hadn't seen him in maybe five years, we never hung out, random texts every now and then, not a part of my life. He just killed himself in November. I have spent the last month asking myself if I could have done something, if I had only known...

Suicide affects people you don't even know! Hell, I found my co-worker irritating and immature, but I sincerely wish he had called or said something, I would never wish that level of despair on someone.

I already have an e-ink second screen that sits on the back of an iPhone... 4? 5? It's collecting dust in a drawer, but I swear this is a recycle of an old project. It's already been done!

Also, I have an old Yotaphone.

I run substreamer and tailscale to access my home navidrome. Works like a charm.
