I’m surprisingly level-headed for being a walking knot of anxiety.

Ask me anything.

I also develop Tesseract UI for Lemmy/Sublinks

  • but I assume this is a face-eating leopard farm

    In sooo many ways.

    • Voted for leopard, leopard’s tariffs are screwing her over
    • Was awarded a $400,000 grant (under Biden) but now that’s frozen, can’t get reimbursed.
    • Can’t hire H-2A visa workers.
    • “Nobody wants to work anymore” attitude
    • Complaining she had to spend $200,000 of her own money to renovate her house. Claims it’s a business expense.
    • Can’t use taxpayer money to pay her staff and can’t stay afloat without government subsidies she would likely deny anyone else.

    The usual “I got mine” attitude and subsequent whining when the consequences of their own actions finally affects them personally.





  • Probably better to just keep it. Probably.

    Interest rates haven’t changed much since 2021 (they may even be higher?). Unless your credit score has massively improved to potentially secure a lower rate on a new finance, it’s probably not going to be any better than the 7.59 you have now.

    Do you think you could sell your HRV for $16,000 in a private sale? Even at that, you’d be breaking even with the payoff, and the replacement would be 100% out of pocket (or a new finance at whatever current rates are).

    Do you have your eye on something already as a replacement? If so, how much would it cost? Do you think you could tack that amount (or part of it) on to the $16K sale price of your HRV to help pay for it?

    Ultimately, those are only things you can answer. I’m more of a play it safe /devil you know person, so I would probably just stick with it but pay extra on principal to help pay it down quicker and reduce interest on the loan.









  • It’s been a long-running thing for blogspam to appear here. Usually admins will step in at some point and squash the accounts, but any time I see anything.blogspot.com as a post URL, I look at the account history and see if that’s all they’re posting. 9.9 times out of 10, that’s all they’re posting, and I ban them with content removal. Same for other sites that pop up out of nowhere that get spread from a brand new account.

    I have no idea what the objective is (SEO, ad views, etc), but it’s been a thing as long as I’ve been on Lemmy.

    Thanks for the list: some of those I had yet to ban.



  • Depends on what I’m transferring and to/from where:

    • scp is my go-to since I’m a Linux household and have SSH keys setup and LDAP SSO as a fallback
    • sshfs if I’m too lazy to connect via SMB/NFS (or I don’t feel like installing the tools for them) or I’m traversing a WAN
    • rsync for bulk transfer and backups
    • Snapdrop/Pairdrop for one-off file/text shares between devices with GUIs (mostly phone <–> PC)
    • SMB if I’m on a client PC and need to work with the files directly from the fileserver
    • NFS between servers
    • To get bulk data to my phone (e.g. updating my music library), I connect via USB in MTP mode and copy from the server via SMB or sshfs.
