What’s your technical skill?

You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo

My blog

thinkstoomuch.net

Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.

If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!

I think I followed this guide initially

My life for Super Users!

FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360

I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.

I’m not convinced AI slop can compete with the back log of organic slop personally.

But yeah a fuckton is probably slop either way

1. Mad its clickbait

2. Don’t care cause Michaelsoft bad

I’m more willing to bet this is VPN servers running linux

Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.

I respect that Steve was able to control himself and only make a 25 minute video on this.

Oh wow, I got all the important parts didn’t I?

Crazy…

TL:DW;

Mr. Nexus still thinks its news that, under capitalism, production of luxury goods will always be sold to the highest bidder and not “the masses”

I didn’t watch it either. But its about Micron no longer selling consumer ram in favor of the AI industry customer.

Well seeing as its invite only still. Probably not yet.

I doubt anything that tightly under the creators control is going to be “soiled” yet

Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?

So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.

“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”

“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”

Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.

We go to a buffet by the lake.

Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.

I’m on year 5 of fully committed to Linux everything (minus work) and I still assume “oh yeah I can probably just sudo force the thing I want. Reading logs takes too long” and yeah it bites me in the ass sometimes.

Its weird to hold Linus (Tech Tips) to such a high standard for no other reason than he makes tech YouTube videos.

I’m a fucking sys admin and I make the same mistakes. Its human. I’m glad he’s at least making Linux seem accessible while also bringing to light the realities of how different the troubleshooting strat is from Windows to Linux.

I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.

But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.

I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.

Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.

Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.

And I don’t wish that on anyone.

I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…

I want to be called out.

I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.

My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.

The classic

offers to recycle

actually installs esoteric Linux distros

Classic!

Do you fear technology

Oh yes! Greatly!

Windows

Ah, a different kind of fear was meant…
