Just like me. I’m a fat bald guy with a huge beard which I always thought I was the Linux stereotype. But yea, I enjoy seeing cute socks with Neofetches in my feed.

Remember Alf? He’s back… in Mr Robot form.

A lot of the hacking scenarios hit harder when it came out closer to the 2008 financial crash, when the threat of being hacked by Anonymous was a real concern for some people and crypto currency was brand new. You can view it as a time capsule of that era.

I watched the first season when it came out then binged the whole rest of the series last December. Absolutely loved it, but don’t think I’ll watch it again. I’m a tech guy so I thought the hacking was pretty cool but I still liked the psychological stuff. The hacking was just the background for that story really.

But a big part of the show was that the reveal of things was slow and there was some stuff that really took me by surprise. None of that will have an impact on a second viewing.

Saying that though seeing kinda goth-ish Carly Chaikin again might be worth it…

Certainly gets me going.

As much as I like electric cars this could be done with pretty much any petrol or diesel car with an inverter.

But not as much as the high seas me heartie…

Another way to say this is the master race are about to upgrade their hardware

Set up a bunch of self hosted apps on my pi 4 (Nextcloud is erm, next) to completely end my reliance on public cloud.

Use the Grocy instance I already have on that pi to plan recipes and eat healthy (after gorging myself like a drunken pig between now and new year’s day.)

This weekend’s job though, set up a quick ‘n’ dirty torrent box/ NAS with an old laptop for festive movie watching before building a better solution out of an old desktop once I have the cash sometime around summer.

He doesn’t know how to use the three seashells!

I’m genuinely worried I’ll be watching TV and Clippy will appear: “It looks like your entire species is about to be vaporised by a coordinated drone strike. Would you like some help? Well, you gotta beg for it now, bitch!”

I’d say meth would give a more accurate experience.

Yup, I get out of bed and stumble to the kitchen to pour myself a cup of ambition that’s already pre-made for me.

Is it the best tasting coffee in the world? No. Does it wake me the hell up super fast and clean out the pipes? Oh you bet it does.

Damn, got me. Debian user, been using a basic Cuisinart bean to cup for years.

The heating element broke in my original machine earlier this year. Bought a used one of the exact same model with a broken water reservoir cover and carafe lid then transplanted those parts from my old machine.

Plan to use Debian unless it stops being developed or I die. Plan to use my Thinkpad until it dies. Also plan to use that same model of bean to cup machine unless I can’t find replacements when they inevitably die.

Thank God it frees sticky mechanisms.

Does anybody here use a Linux Lemmy client? I’ve tried Lemoa which seems to only let you sign into a single instance at a time and Lemonade which just didn’t work for me. I’m on Debian 12 if anyone has any advice about Lemonade or any other suggestions. Might give Neon Modem a try.

Fascinating stuff. Think I’d prefer using this over most of the “alternative” OS that are about. But after reading more about this and Haiku I’m starting to think things like a modern web browser and video/ audio editing tools are probably going to keep me off them both for a long time at least.

Yea I haven’t heard of companies using BSD at all these days and it isn’t really suitable for desktop use. But I’m interested to see if Haiku progresses to be a good desktop Linux alternative https://www.haiku-os.org/about/faq/

I just spell it out straight away
