As a kid. Taking with your kids as a parent is fun too.

Nah, generational wealth can still be squandered if handled irresponsibly.

You can still lose a race with a head start if you start running in the wrong direction.

• Hard work
• Luck
• Generational Wealth

Pick 2 for success.

Could you explain your username? What’s Up_dog?

Nah, the tweets stopped a couple years ago.

How does this compare to Helmarr?

You’re gonna need to elaborate on this one…

There’s no way that would be a viable career.

1. You’d have to reliably get interviews, which is hard enough as it is.
2. It’s a lot of work to do sustainably—more work than many jobs imo.
3. You get none of the other benefits of accepting the job.
4. Eventually you would run out of companies for which you were qualified, and you’d probably stop getting interviews.

Your argument sounds similar to anti-welfare arguments. Sure, some people may abuse the system, but it wouldn’t pay that well, and the positives to society would greatly outweigh any abuse.

Yeah I’m thinking the request frequency was the issue rather than bandwidth.

Thanks! I haven’t tried that dashboard yet, I might give it a spin.

Nice stack! What’s the crab logo? I don’t recognize it.

Do you notice a massive increase in request latency (like 10x-50x) when using a CloudFlare tunnel vs connecting directly to your IP? I’ve experimented with it a few times, but it really negatively impacts QoS for me, especially with federated services (like Matrix) where there are lots of small requests.

How do you calculate speed at all with only one frame?

Wouldn’t the air resistance be insane at those speeds? If it didn’t just slow it down significantly, the friction would add even more heat to it.

The enshittification of Steam would really sting and significantly harm PC gaming as a whole.

As GabeN ages, I really worry about the day when he finally hands control of that company over, because as soon as ROI becomes their primary objective, it’s game over.

Prioritizing the experience and quality of the platform over profit maximization has actually earned them more money in the long run as they’ve slowly snowballed over all their competitors. I really hope the new stewards understand this and genuinely love gaming as a whole as it seems a lot of decision-makers at Valve currently do.

Over 20 years, easy. I started my PC life as a Mac user, switched to Windows for gaming, then switched to Linux for freedom. VLC has followed me the whole way and been a must-install since the first time I used it.

Yeah, it’s frustrating on both ends.

Readers and viewers of art are increasingly skeptical because of all the intentionally deceptive content flooding the zone.

Meanwhile, the humans actually making new things get drowned out by the slop and accused of using AI when they finally do surface.

They created BS machines that made everyone more distrustful of real human experience.

You may like archeology. My wife is an archeologist and she says that a lot of it is using science and history to make sense of people’s trash.

The thing to remember is our post-industrial conceptualization of trash is a little different than the past. For example, broken projectile points and their flakes are essentially just really old trash that was dropped when it broke or wasn’t useful anymore.

If you really like this, it’s not that far off from how archeologists date stuff. Though they collect a lot more datapoints, have more context, and use more references.
