Price point is fine for a “new” laptop.

Unfortunately, most of us obsessed with repairable laptops are also okay with refurbed at like a tenth the price.

Sure, a framework is more repairable than a thinkpad. But the point is to reduce ewaste. I can more easily reduce ewaste by buying this repairable enough laptop from eBay for $200-$400 vs $1200 without ram or ssd

I swap PCs regularly and I hate how long it takes to install windows.

Also windows borked a games drive once and I never forgave it.

Then I learned all the privacy stuff.

Also, I guess that if your country is predominantly white you’ll end up mostly with white people.

Despite what the great replacers think, America is still mostly white or at least passably white.

Poor homie is probably both lonely and horny. A terrible combination.

I’ve got a virtualized set up to.

Its pretty unbothered being virtualized so long as the disks are passed through. In my set up, I have the SAS board passed through and its using that.

My reasoning is that I wanted a lot of disks space, but I couldn’t get that without just a big case in general, so I use the extra space to store GPUs for AI and encoding stuff

I’m a simple man.

I got to thepiratebay.org

I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server

I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.

Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!

I’m probably just stupid.

Yeah that’s what’s going to happen with the main blog.

Forgejo action > static HTML site > Cloudflared tunnel

This separate idea is to have a Lemmy instance to host pictures and federate the blogs comment system so people ideally won’t have to sign in or make an account to comment.

From the inside he looks like a republican.

But that’s how its been for a while. This years Dem is last decades Rep.

I think the problem you’re running into is that Valve isn’t doing nothing with that pay.

Like valve is actively making my gaming experience better by developing cheap hardware and a good system for gaming on Linux.

All the games I’ve ever bought, regardless of if they still sell them are in my library.

My save files are cloud synced for free.

I as the end user am having a good time.

I also have a sunk cost thing going on. I’ve been trying to buy and play more GOG games but I just have so much that works already on Linux without any work that it’s hard to justify the tinker time to get it working otherwise.

They provide such a good service I think we’ve all forgotten about the children casinos for CSGO2 skins, but even that they’re fixing (kinda).

Maybe its just nice to not be mad about something. Like its just video games, I don’t really care if Valve has a monopoly on that since 1) Experience is good 2) they’re not trying to have like a monopoly on water or something important. Bad take maybe, but there’s enough going on that I just don’t know if I could make myself care that valve is like 90% of videogame sales. Or whatever it is.

Correct take.

Although, IMHO, buldak noodles are more “spicy for spicy’s sake” than actually good. The noodles themselves are a good texture but the flavor packets feel like a gimmick.

Most “hot” wings mean nothing to me

But I don’t drown things in hot sauce since I like flavor AND heat so I carry around a few really good bottles of Ghost pepper/reaper hot sauce since there is a really nice smoky flavor with it.

Its a nice way to elevate cheap food and be viewed as a demi god by the weak and like a small child by the south east Asians.

I know my white people ghost pepper sauce is nothing compared to what Raj’s baby sister has for breakfast.

Nope.

What’s your technical skill?

You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo

My blog

thinkstoomuch.net

Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.

If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!

I think I followed this guide initially

FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360

I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.

I’m not convinced AI slop can compete with the back log of organic slop personally.

But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way

1. Mad its clickbait

2. Don’t care cause Michaelsoft bad

There’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.

If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.

Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.

I respect that Steve was able to control himself and only make a 25 minute video on this.

Oh wow, I got all the important parts didn’t I?

Crazy…
