Oh boy I’m glad you said that because I didn’t want to sound like an idiot. I’m 40yo and I have no idea who the VU are, nor does comparing them to the Beatles make me excited to look them up.

This is going to sound weird but I never actually get Steam emails, outside of receipts. Maybe I disabled them years ago. And I wishlist/follow hundreds of games.

Uncertain if I’m a unique edge case who hates email clutter or not.

Not me. I’m pretty immune to ads.

Especially from McDonalds - now with their $5 Sausage McMuffin with Egg meal that comes with hash browns and a small coffee.

Ba ba ba ba baaaa… I’m loving it.

This is actually why I got a Costco membership. 90% of gas stations in my city have a TV screen now and fuck that noise.

Pi-hole is useful for a lot of other things too.

I bought a child cam system and noticed it pinging home for updates, and shut that off real quick thanks to Pi-hole.

I wonder if it’ll be like TVs, which are cheap as fuck for a really nice TV, but equipped with garbage like Alexa and Amazon fire.

Right now, you can buy a $200 “smart” TV, or a $1800 “dumb” TV. I wonder if fridges and other appliances will go in that direction.

It was a shit show before GitHub. I used to email code. I used to have to find random IRC rooms, follow random contributor guides, or beg for access. I remember one project required me to download some torrent bullshit just so I can submit my patch.

As a contributor, I can’t go back to creating multiple accounts and trying to figure out how the hell I give you code.

I don’t care if GitHub is the defacto for open-source projects, as long as there are competitors and mirrors.

This is actually really helpful for me. Thank you.

My recommendation ist to look wath you need in terms of availabillity and redundance. For my personal use it’s fine if the Nextcloud is down for a few days, but for a Business that can be fatal.

When my home stuff doesn’t get eleven 9’s of reliability, I get frustrated and shut it down. But you’ve given me perspective. I feel like I’ve been pretty hard on myself because I’m comparing my personal setups to businesses/orgs.

Pretty much. Can’t remember what he did that ticked me off like 8 years ago.

I stopped buying and surprise surprise, got everything after Borderland 2 for literally free or like $2-3 at some point.

That is incredible! You’re doing what I’m just fantasizing about!

Any tutorials or videos on setting something like this up?

The first two airplane attacks were on blacks, and then the working class.

They’re still cool! They have lots of cool things they’ve released over the past few years! Like… Um…

Uh…

Well shit.

Ah wait the poster is the same name as the website.

Yep.

I honestly don’t understand what op is talking about.

Leaks happen all the time, even in billion dollar companies.

Their comment is the equivalent like, “This is why you should lock your doors!” Like uh okay.

My friend came over and told me a story about this crazy date she was on. The guy love bombs her, sets her up with a massage, then in the morning, goes out and eats McDonalds alone and ghosts her. Then repeats every few weeks with love bombs.

I shared that with my discord group and someone said they know that guy too.

Im assuming that’s what Tea is for.

My business partner sometimes says some shit that while true, really stabs me in the heart.

His most recent one, “Ugh, there’s too many parents with sickly kids here. Let’s go to the VIP room.” (At the airport)

Like, I’m one of those sickly kids.

I used to believe a lot of things.

Newegg sold really good products.

Blizzard made good games.

America is the land of the free.

Things change. Anker rose to the top for low priced products that were good. And now that they’ve become bigger, their output might get worse.

If that money funnels to unemployed engineers to set it up… I’m all for it.

Take the money, do the work, jump ship.

Then they’ll go: “Source: my presentation from last year where I made up that number”

Android users won’t have a choice after a while.

I didn’t want Google Now. Uninstalled it, and it’s back and updated. Been fighting for years.
