Age be a thing. Hazel green, reporting in.

Ahem… Assembly is tired of being forgotten

Clearly you need to clean that thing first. Damn, grimey.

You can’t unsee this. I’ve tried.

I remember when someone did this for Mac. this just ticks those boxes of someone who should be doing work, but doesn’t want to do work and feels like coding something to make you laugh. Heh

Minus 2 people. I’m back at a healthy weight and steady for a year now. Amazing what cutting out all the crap does.

Look, I’m going to say differently than the highest commenter on this post because I think they have value in a world that values my personal data. I used incogni and so far they just seem to be knocking my data out. Last year when I was where you were, unsure if i should do this, I was turned down for a role at a company due to a (flawed) background check (I was told this was the last step remaining in the process, I was denied the role).

So, I started looking at my own personal data (and found others with same name) and found absurdly wrong info. I have a semi common last name and a very common (for my age) first, so imagine my first hit comes up with criminal records for another stupidmanager of my about age, but possibly linked to some other family members and paying more I found my social associated as “potential”. I already knew other-stupidmanager in my city and others with my name had bad debts, but damn… that criminal record was out of the park felony (other-stupidmanager is still in prison for this). And now that I’m dating women who might have kids… man what a nightmare that could have been.

Now, nearly 9 months later, my name (first and last) might show up on the first few pages of google and it’s my professional profile or articles I’ve been quoted in. My full name, doesn’t appear at all. Also notable decrease in credit card offers, I-BUYhousing postcards and even those unsolicited advert mailers.

This is not an advert for incogni, this is a justification on why I value my private information and didn’t want to spend hundreds trying to fill out every type of form to get my name clear. I picked that company because it came recommended by another person here.

I’m more of a mountain guy so #4a522e or #3d7435 really do it for me. But hey, you do you.

Pretty sad when religion claims to abhor evil, happens to be the source of a lot of it. Right? I can’t name a single thing religion ever did for me other than make me miserable.

Slower, yes. More compression, yes. Stupid, no. tar serves a purpose beyond persevering permissions.

I’m what I call “mostly vegetarian“ which means that I choose to not have meat, but will eat small portions on occasion. And boy does that just piss off people like no other. Worse is I get it from both sides, to either commit in full or just give in to my natural instincts and consume more red meat.

Sometimes I just want a salad. Sometimes I want some bacon crumbles on that salad. Sometimes I want 3oz of fish with a plate of veggies. But what I can tell you is 3/4 of my plate will have healthy veggies or fruit.

For me, it’s all about timing and balance. I have up to 3 shots of espresso in the morning, then if I need to be up and active/functional at 10pm, I might have an espresso at 7-8pm for that extra boost. As long as I eat a smaller meal, I’ll be fine and in fact often have a better overall sleep. But if I was a pig at dinner, or a sloth all day, there’s no way I would drink any espresso at night and even think I’m getting more that 2 hours in.

Like I said, for me it’s all about timing and balance. Caffeine effective is about 3 hours, shot of espresso is about 65mg. I was lucky to have found that sweet spot where I could do this. Oddly I can go days without coffee too, so maybe it’s just all genetics and luck.

I remember the counter too. The ever growing available capacity of my mailbox that was more space than I could ever use. Just open Gmail and watch that number grow

This was a decent OS, came about in BeOS 5 when they started to run on intel. Just lacked apps. at least OS/4 Warp could run Windows apps, this was just a brand new OS with nothing yet. Shame it died out, but you can run an inspired version of it called Haiku.

The Martian by Andy weir was my first experience of this. They re-recorded it with will wheaton and I “lost” my original with RC Bray. Though I will admit my version was part of the plus catalog, I still didn’t get a choice.

About damn time.

For the last decade I’ve paid for high speed fiber cable from Comcast, and that monthly 1tb limit was a killer with a family. So I paid the extra $50 (for a few years, then $30 these last 2) for unlimited. All for a total low package price of $250. My buddy in a nearby town with better speeds and multiple options has never paid for this add on, because he has competition in the area. I had zero choice, there were zero network improvements in my area until this year when a new local fiber company started burying fiber in my area. Today I pay $100 for 2gb symmetrical unlimited internet, way cheaper than the $250 I’ve paid for years for a forced tv/phone/internet package.

I hope there’s a class action for this. Fuck Comcast.

Ive been doing this dance for 30 years. From pop under popup windows in the 90s, adobe flash ads, Java script… and the list just keeps going. I have never bought something, from a web advert that was obnoxious. Google was the only place I willingly allowed ads back in early 2000s; that simple text box on the right with almost relevant adverts to my search. I bought from one of those, once.

Yeah. I think the article was counting the approved 8th (2023) and 9th (2024) seasons, adding 10th and 11th. Just wasn’t super clear first read and made it feel like 9th was current or all 20 episodes were a single season. That first paragraph is crappy.

We still have 10 more from the 20 approved episodes, and now 20 more on top of that. So an easy 3 years of futurama to look forward to. Yay!

Honestly, nothing. But they’ve been having more network and dns issues, which caused resolution issues. So I’m moving away entirely.

No idea. I moved my personal .dev over and that was fine. But I pay for a premium .dev domain and can’t move that yet. No explanation from Cloudflare.
