When I saw studying marine bio I was told classes would thin out when “the people who just want to swim with dolphins wash out.” Maybe there’s a similar filter people with no joy in life who don’t like puns.

The majority of our household stuff is on a Synology DS920+ (x86). I installed Docker and Portainer on it and then run most of my local services (Immich, Invidious, Alexandrite (the Lemmy frontend), Miniflux, Dokuwiki, and Heimdall) using the Portainer UI.

I’m still running Plex as a manually installed Syno package, because I haven’t taken the time to figure out hardware trans-coding for other setups.

The 920 also manages cameras (via Surveillance Station), all off site backups (we all backup workstations to the 920 and it backs up online), handles private DNS and the reverse proxy for Docker, and hosts my personal VPN. I’m currently in the process of swapping the 4+ year old drives with new ones what will up my capacity (using SHR) from 12TB to 30 (with redundancy).

Dozens, but they all converge into 2 mailboxes. It’s nice to keep things separate, but it does get confusing sometimes. If I didn’t have a password manager to remember my logins, it would be untenable.

For stuff I’m going to use long terms i use my lifetime university email address which forwards to me main fastmail address. I have several fastmail addresses for dev stuff, bacon (not quite spam), one for patreon and kickstarter, and so on. Those all go to one mailbox.

My old gmail account is just for spam, google’s account spam, and (I only recently noticed) github. I check that mailbox like 3 times a year.

Also all my domains have at least an info address that forwards to my dev fastmail address, and we have a household group address that forwards to my fastmail as well.

“probably” is more optimism than I’ve usually got

We taught linear algebra to talk real pretty.

Is Jango’s unlicensed nuclear accelerator his crime?

It’s an Icelandic Fairy house with the roof missing. The hole is a window, and you’re supposed to give them a south facing view for good fortune.

Going to have a busy morning tomorrow to try an beat the heat. Gotta do some yard stuff before it hits 90f.

But then Sunday my group will be trying the new beta 1.5 of Daggerheart

Sounds like the sort of thing an bot would say to throw us off its tracks. ಠಿ_ಠ

Thanks for bolding the most relevant text. The Guardian’s headline is confusing until you get to that part.

Dear Paramount: Doctor Twink and his boyfriend Fashion Lizard is a spinoff I would 100% watch every week.

Thank you.

I had a marine mammal prof in college who was fiercely dull unless you got him talking about whale hunting techniques. He would get particularly animated when describing how a Sperm Whale click carries enough force at depth that it make luminescent squids “light up like ‘eat me’ signs.”

He also did a fun impression of a Grey Whale scooping mud off the sea floor. Which was mainly memorable because it was like watching Niles Crane pretend to be a backhoe.

That void kitty is Dr. Ketzer, I will not be convinced otherwise.

And (at least since April 25, 1986) you can terrify the non-nerds by asking, “wanna to see the nuclear reactor in my cocaine-mobile?”

Most of them. I’ve realized that I give up my hobbies after a while because what I want is to learn the topic, not do the thing. And once something has become second nature I’m no longer driven to pursue it. BUT I also have to have a goal/project for that new knowledge or I won’t be motivated to learn… because video games are fun and the internet is distracting.

I’m sure camcorders were the reason. But no, they were BetaMax.

I think that was the killing blow for her sanity.

I’m sure they also argue with randos about systemd and down vote any posts about any desktop environments other than the one that they use.

Japan just gave up the floppy (officially), but there will still be other legacy users.

Until VERY recently the US nuclear arsenal required 8" floppies. Disks that went out of favor in the early 70s because they can only spin for a few hours before they start to corrupt.

The one that most blew my mind was that my local Walmart only stopped selling blank BetaMax tapes in the mid 00’s. By the time the store was built they weren’t even selling movies on VHS anymore, but the blanks were still worthy of limited shelf space.
