No joke, I’ve had two Keurig machines break on me in the past year. Those machines are trash, built to break. After the second one, I just bought a $10 coffee pot, and it’s working great. It’s probably going to last me ten years. There’s barely any parts to break.

Windows Subsystem for Linux

Fedora, but I wouldn’t say I’m in love with it. It frustrates me the least. No Linux distro is perfect, but they’re all better than Windows.

There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.

I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

Sure, but those kinds of lights are very dim. You can just use a dimmer bulb set to very low if you want that kind of longevity.

Oh, that sounds really cool! Thank you for the explanation.

What does it do?

Basically all of the time you’re alive will be after the heat death of the universe, where you will be floating in space, with nothing to do, nothing to see, nothing to experience. Complete darkness, complete silence, in a complete vacuum, for eternity. Every other particle in the universe is forever out of your reach. You know that you will have nothing forever. You will never see, hear, or touch anything again, for all of time, which will never end. The trillions of years that preceded your float through the void fade into a distant memory as you outlive twice as much time, four times as much, a trillion-trillion times as much, and infinitely more.

Very nice.

Lying can get you ahead in the immediate, but then you’re a liar, and liars lose friends and alienate people.

Because legally there are more choices, but really, there are only two.

Oh thank god. Minetest was the worst name, and the game is actually pretty cool. It definitely deserves a cool name, and Luanti sounds cool.

My home server has an NVMe that has the OS and all the Docker Compose stacks and their database data. The big data (photos, movies, backups, etc) are on a big 6 drive RAID 6 array. The NVMe gets backed up to the RAID every night. They go into folders named after the day of the week, so I’ve always got 7 days worth. Then every week or so, I rsync the whole RAID to a big drive at my parent’s house. The reason I do that manually is because I don’t want it happening if I get hit with a ransomware attack.

That was all relatively easy to set up, but server administration is also my profession, so for normal people, I recommend an easier home server setup and a commercial backup solution.

I’m actually working on an open source backup solution based on my deduplicating WebDAV server, Nephele. If I can pull it off, it’ll be free and open source to run on your own hardware, or you can pay my company to back up to my hardware.

Their UX hasn’t changed a whole lot in 3.0, but they have that work in their road map, so it’s not like they don’t care.

Why do you say that?

Oh man, I’m SO EXCITED for GIMP 3. I’ve been wanting these features in GIMP for literally decades.

Me? Unless I’m excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I don’t think I consider it “in the room”.
