I spend a lot of time in /tmp sending temporary output to files and testing commands when building shell scripts. It’s appropriate that a long-haired fluffer butt lives there because that’s been most of my cats through the years.

Sounds like you have people you can call? If so, ask someone to go do something physical together where conversation doesn’t have to be center-stage, like hiking. If you live in a place where there’s good hiking spots with challenging terrain, such as steep hills (hopefully accompanied by beautiful views), you might be too out of breath for the absence of conversation to be unnatural.

Good thinking. High risk. Impressed that you thought ahead to avoid the risk. I like the home entertainment suggestion, but you could also use the extra cycles to run containers or VMs in the background. I know you said you already have a server, so I’m trying to think what else would provide utility. Nice find, hope you come up with some fun projects.

Sucks to be the person who made that commit. Genuinely.

I run Movary on my NAS in a docker container so that my partner has a place to add to our watch-list.

I also run a personal kbase that I built on top of Docbase and Markdown files.

And I recently started using HTTP2Shell to throw commands at a local networked device. This is useful to me personally, maybe not for others, because I’ve written my own automations.

I recently considered adding Home Assistant, but it doesn’t look like it’s gonna happen because we have lamps that don’t remain in an “on” state when unplugged; any devices I might buy to add wifi to them wouldn’t actually turn them on remotely as a result. Shame cause there’s one that’s pretty necessary at night that’s between a wall and a sofa that’s pushed back against it because that’s just the layout of the room. I don’t mind manually controlling the others, but that was the one that would have been nice to trigger from my phone. Our thermostat and robot vacuum would have been on the same system, but they already have dedicated apps anyway.

You’re only limited by your imagination and curiosity (and wallet).

Not ADHD, but I procrastinate like a pro, so this is me as well.

No. We’re just so broken as a society that we allow rich assholes to destroy markets for regular people by betting on overhyped bullshit.

I country with a working legislative would prevent a market leader from attempting to prevent consumers from exercising their freedom to choose. Oh well.

We’ve never been safer! /s

Search for github repos of dotfiles and read through people’s shell profiles, aliases, and functions. You’ll learn a lot.

Yes.

Smoking. Quit for seven years and picked it back up. Worst decision of my life. Was cutting back on vaping to quit when the pan happened. Allowed myself the vice for stress. Don’t plan on trying a third time. Too much effort.

Hahahaha. Again?!

This isn’t new. If you’re using a company-device, they can read everything you do on it. This has been true for many years. Clickbait headline.

Don’t use your company computer / phone / email / whatever to say anything you wouldn’t want your boss / HR / other to read.

The best part is how in the end-stages of capitalism, everything keeps getting worse for consumers. While prices go up, even. It’s awesome. /s

If they just made up a bunch of accusations with paltry evidence to prove it, the scandal would make headlines. “iPhone maker found to be full of shit in court!” is clickworthy gold. I don’t think your stance is very strong. Every entity tries to spin things in their favor, but you make it sound like they’d bring an empty case and they very much would not. No one starts a lawsuit they don’t think they can win unless they’re someone with no credibility and endless money like Elon Musk (see lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI) or oil companies going after environmental lawyers.

Lemme help you spice things up: Wait until you’re passing by a guy who’s super clean cut and wearing business attire. As you go by, yell: “Get a haircut, hippy!” It’s funny every time.

I hate to tell you this, but the mullets were very real. It was a dark time and we’re all glad it’s in the past.
