Yes. It’s one of the checkmarks in the don’t-have-kids column.

No, really. Click through.

If you have anything exposed, scripts and bots are testing your server all day, every day. So long as you’ve got proper security in place, ignore the failed attempts.

I used mine all the time at my old work. So when I moved to a new place and my old desk couldn’t handle another disassembly and reassembly, I bought the same model (electric, multiple saved settings). Turns out the reason I used my standing desk was a shitty office chair. I have an Aeron chair at home, so I never need to stand.

The adjustable desk wasn’t a wash. I was able to adjust it to the exact right height for my chair. My old desk was slightly too high, so I have the best ergonomics I’ve ever had in my life. It’s awesome and I’d absolutely buy the adjustable desk again just for the best seated height.

Who the fuck cares. He seems like a good dude and we all know she’s a complete piece of shit. Let’s not give her or her shitbag followers oxygen.

I think of three things for which I am grateful every day. Reminders fire on all my devices and I don’t dismiss the reminder until I complete the task. That might be first thing after I get my senses after waking up. It might not be until 7pm. But I do it every day, almost without fail (unless ill or something).

You design people and your pedantry. > /dev/null for you.

Jk, you’re fine.

Came to say the same. I’ve never taken it so literally.

Its not like you can say “oh no, I donate to services that help the needy” because that person isn’t necessarily being helped by that.

I had a friend say exactly that to someone. When I asked them further about it, they said, “he knows where to find a cot.” That was more convincing to me before I listened to the “According to Need,” Podcast. It looked at homelessness in the Bay Area (where we live) and getting a bed is nearly impossible.

I don’t usually give money cause I rarely carry small bills. But sometimes. And I will without fail buy food for anyone who asks.

Each time I’ve seen this over the last several days, it’s been some of the best news I’ve read in a while. Fuck that guy.

This laptop is secretly downloading scientific papers behind a paywall to release them on the public internet. Sadly, the owner will be prosecuted unfairly and threatened with unreasonable punishment.

Remember Aaron.

I can’t tell you how many times I vocalize, “leave me the fuck alone,” before responding to coworkers via my keyboard.

Taking this seriously is pretty silly.

Oh dear, I have to post it again:

Fuck the south

Look at the economies of southern red states. They’re fucking garbage and they turn out some of the most reprehensible personalities in our country. Pathetic.

I dunno. I worked at an IT shop that specialized in supporting architecture firms. They had to contend with end-of-life printer drivers on multi-thousand dollar blueprint printers, 3d rendering software conflicts, and license hell for CAD software.

A pencil and a protractor can’t crash and destroy all the work you’ve done this week. Just sayin’. The math hasn’t changed. The tools got better and worse, however.

Check out https://www.servethehome.com/. I imagine you’ll find some useful info there.

You can rent a virtual private server (VPS). I used to have a number of these for under $10 / month. I imagine they might cost more now., but chances are you can still find something super affordable.

Wordpress.org will let you have a free site but you don’t get a custom domain. Wordpress.com has a personal plan for $4 / month. Matt Mullenweg (CEO) has revealed himself to be a crazy piece of shit, so maybe look elsewhere. I’m just trying to give you a sense of how accessible this stuff can be.

Running a VPS will require more learning, but it can be super gratifying if you enjoy nerdy computer stuff and solving puzzles just for self-satisfaction. I used to use Rackspace, Linode, and something else that I can’t recall at the moment. All were pretty reasonable. Rackspace had a ton of good setup guides for newbies that were well written. I’d occasionally land on those doing a web search for other hosting stuff and found them reliable.

Edit: DigitalOcean was the one I couldn’t remember.

Well shit, now he’s even harder than all the black metal artists with black hair and black and white makeup. You saved his image for me. Well done!

I don’t think you’re allowed to play black metal with that haircut.

They’re rumored to be releasing a folding iPhone this year or next. I remember reading reviews of the first handful of folding phones and all the tradeoffs that went with them. I saw a headline (but didn’t read the article) about a recent folding phone being damn near perfect (or at least exceptionally good) just this month. I don’t remember the manufacturer.

Anyway, that’d be an example off the top of my head. The next would be OLED. And before that, reflective coatings on displays (that one was when Jobs was still alive). There are probably others, but I guess I notice display technology a lot more than other hardware advances.
