  • Tailored boilerplate code

    I can write code, but it’s only a skill I’ve picked up out of necessity and I hate doing it. I am not familiar with deep programming concepts or specific language quirks and many projects live or die by how much time I have to invest in learning a language I’ll never use again.

    Even self-hosted LLMs are good enough at spitting out boilerplate code in popular languages that I can skip the deep-dive and hit the ground running- you know, be productive.





  • That’s very hard to answer without knowing what type of camping it is. There is a huge range of options. On one end of the spectrum you have RV campers who bring half a house with them and are dependent on infrastructure. On the other end you have people who just go out and sleep on a bed of moss that they made that day who could probably survive the apocalypse with nothing but a shoelace at their disposal. Somewhere in-between that, but distinctly different from normal camping, there’s a whole genre of stealth camping where you’re roughing it like an urban hobo but for fun.








  • TOR is just slightly harder to keep up on as far as being listed on the same tables as commercial VPN hosts because it’s so dynamic. Anyone can spin up a node and be a relay or, for the brave/foolish, an exit node in a few minutes.

    Actually Tor relays and exits are published, public knowledge and you will be on every list that cares about listing those within hours of spinning up a relay or exit.


  • Took an angle grinder to a mini-ITX case to fit a full ATX size board in it.
    The board is resting unsecured on an anti-static bag and has a few mm of wiggleroom.
    The powersupply is resting, unsecured to anything, on top of the PCIe lanes.
    The rear fan is pressed up against the back grill by cables.
    The harddrives are just kinda chilling where-ever.
    The cables are routed with hopes and dreams.

    This is a hypervisor and is the backbone of all my infrastructure.

  • Every once in a while they’ll send you an email with special CSS styling so you can’t avoid seeing it and you can’t unsubscribe from it. They call it a newsletter. It’s advertising. It’s less news and more begging you to buy more of their stuff. Very occasionally they’ll bump new features onto a higher tier but still show that feature in your UI, with special CSS styling. God forbid if they try to upgrade your account but you deny because you’re happy with the features you have now and the amount you pay; they push harder and harder the longer you’re on a ‘legacy’ tier.

    It happened to me. It’ll happen to you.
