The Internet is bad.

People raging about videogames being woke
VERSUS
People raging about people raging about videogames being woke.
…FIGHT!!!
You see the screenshot.
Now assume your Angry Internet Gamer position…
Get in the comments, and FIGHT!


I knew WB’s HD-DVDs (remember those?) were a timebomb. I didn’t realize regular DVDs were, too.


Saying nginx with a “hard g” can get you into some real trouble…
The sad truth is that the vast majority of people WANT an algorithm to tell them what they like.
Mastodon requires you to actually have your own opinions going in, and follow material based on that.


Such a weird thing for everyone to fixate on and lose their shit. Let our dumbass en-US selves do whatever “official” dumbass thing we have to with the name.
Everyone else can leave it what it always was.
Next time there’s a Democrat U.S. President, the “en-US” term will be changed back to Gulf of Mexico.
This is stupid.


Genuinely curious… How does Google handle other oceanic naming that isn’t agreed upon Worldwide?

Who would’ve thought… 3DFX was apparently ahead of its time…

I love Mastodon. It’s easily my favorite & most-used social media platform right now.
But I’m also a huge damn nerd.
I honestly can’t say I’d recommend it to anyone that isn’t also a huge damn nerd, because they just won’t find stuff they want.
“You want sports? We don’t have much of that, but check out the Proxmox server in this guy’s basement!”


Okay, cool…
So, how much longer before Nvidia stops slapping a “$500-600 RTX XX70” label on a $300 RTX XX60 product with each new generation?
The thinly-veiled 75-100% price increases aren’t fun for those of us not constantly-touching-themselves over AI.


Mostly Docker.
Portainer and plugging Docker Compose XML into Portainer stacks makes Docker stupid-simple. (personally speaking as a stupid person that does this)
Cloudflare tunnels for stuff people other than you might want to access.
Tailscale if it’s only you.
Reverse proxy & port forwarding for sharing media over Jellyfin without violating the Cloudflare Tunnel ToS.


Oh, I hear you…

Filters can make it so the Mastodon feed doesn’t force you to want to walk out into traffic.


Yep. The “big frickin’ nerd” part carries my statement pretty hard.
Homelab, videogames, Linux stuff… Content for miles.


If you follow hashtags, and you’re a big frickin’ nerd, Mastodon actually has pretty good content.


Rented a house over the holidays that had a Samsung Smart TV.
The UI is mind-bogglingly bad and slow.
The remote is also absolutely terrible and unintuitive. The keys that feel like they should be the arrow keys… aren’t. So even simple navigation through menus is painful.


Breaking: U.S. official response to non-stop blatant state sponsored Russia/China cyberterrorism

Gotta stay out of their way! They needed to coast through that light to keep the MPG above 40! 😂
red light are optional driver
It was a BMW driver, wasn’t it?
Personally, my IP (T-Mobile 5G) has CGNAT and blocks all incoming traffic. I can’t simply Wireguard into my network. Tailscale has been my intermediary to get remote access.
I guess it’s time to figure how how to host an alternative on a VPS (I see Headscale mentioned in these comments).
