but he still got fucked by a horse

Hey don’t kink shame!

…something something Mr hands

For the not all media played successfully, I found it was primarily down to transcode settings trying to hardware transcode file types my server can’t hardware transcode. It’s something worth playing with

Dang that’s a pretty metal name for a kid. I can’t decide if its terrible or brilliant

I’ve got a Grandson named Charon

Isn’t that something from greek mythology? I swear there’s something like that in greek mythology…

Unironically a great reason to use condoms. Condom protects the interted item from fecal matter, and can be disposed of after the fact meaning cleanup is quick and easy

Now yes, but it was briefly the basis for Firefox OS, which was almost early enough to the market to become a major player, but unfortunately too late and people were already attached to some apps they used regularly

Completely flabbergasted that we run internal services not indexable by google.

This is why it’s becoming the norm to have an Intranet with a links page to all of the internal and external webpages employees rely upon. Just make that the browser homepage with Kerberos authentication and the employees never need to know URLs or Google the internal/external service they’re trying to access

I always come back to I Prevail’s cover of Blank Space. Sometimes it can even trick me into believing Tswift is a good song writer

Or Ice Nine Kills parodying both the song and the music video and managing to make it less creepy in the process

Literally just yesterday my wife learned of Minetest’s existence and said it was a terrible name

Steam requires it to be installed in an x86 environment, whether natively, or through emulation (and most x86 emulation has significant overhead and imperfections)

But java applications should run natively if you supply an appropriate build of java. I have an arm VPS that I’ve hosted several Minecraft servers on without any problems (other than those I created myself) and I also learned by accident that Microsoft’s builds of OpenJDK actually work for (at least some) Minecraft versions that they aren’t supposed to, so I have to wonder if that’s a happy accident or intentional work by Microsoft

For what I’ve read and heard mentioned by engineers when I worked for a phone manufacturer, Android already heavily uses virtualization. If I remember correctly it does that for the A/B partitions for updating, as well as for the multiple user support. But I’m very open to anyone with closer experience to the Android kernel than I have chiming in with better specifics

STOP IT!

Sounds like my neighbor a couple of doors down. I recently learned their house is not in fact abandoned. Extremely weathered tarps over damaged sections of roof, trees growing through the wooden back porch, trees and overgrowth throughout the entire yard etc. I have a feeling whenever they pass/move away that house will either sit empty for a very long time or be torn down

There’s growing research into positive tipping points for the climate. Biden’s historic investment into renewables put a finger on the scales tipping them for significantly more solar and wind investment, which will of course reduce the cost of building solar and wind and soon enough the federal government’s finger won’t even be needed on the scale to make solar and wind cost effective to build.

Other decarbonization efforts like pushing for more bike infrastructure leading to fewer car trips and more bike trips, and shifting cars to electricity rather than gasoline also have tipping points where it will make far more sense to do the cheaper thing that happens to be better for the climate than not

I hadn’t seen any of his talks or content in a while so I was pretty sad to see how he stood on the recent Godot bans (shockingly opening GitHub issues containing slurs directed at the developers gets you banned from interacting with their project! Who’da thunk it?) and then seeing his comment section full of varying levels of dogwhistle to the rhetoric

Edit to add: in hindsight his slide into conspiracy definitely explains why I’ve gotten weird vibes off of his previously very good content

With kids being able to pause when you have to stop the kids from killing themselves or eachother is usually a plus

I realized I was long overdue for a hardware refresh when I learned that nvme drives are /dev/nvme and not /dev/sd[x] and I realized every single computer I interacted with was pre-nvme

Having written some error messages in a godforsaken database frontend, an error message only means that something didn’t work correctly and may or may not correctly indicate what is actually wrong

The final line of the one about the VAX machine is so perfect

Excel is the backbone of so many businesses though!
