  • had the same. now I’m running more with less.

    got rid of my commercial grade servers and implemented consumer grade hardware that requires less power.

    I was running four whole dell R series for a total of around 5kw of power (four devices x 1kw psu + redundant).

    now I’m running two consumer grade servers with newer for efficient tech and smaller non-redundant psus. it should be sitting right around 1.2kw.

    the newer hardware can easily run what used to take a dedicated R series.

    next is to consolidate all my network infra.





  • I really wish they would pass a law that you have not sent a statement unless you physically deliver one or deliver one as a pdf.

    I have told every company attempting to collect debt from me to send me a physical bill.

    it took a hospital six months to finally send me a fucking paper bill.

    their office literally printed out the invoice on an inkjet and mailed it to me with a handwritten addressed envelope.

    guess what? I sent a check that day because I didn’t have to sign in anywhere or download some fucking app.

    fuck em. they want to inconvenience me? I’m going to make it as legally difficult to collect debt from me out of spite. there’s no court that wouldn’t be convinced that it’s safer to pay physical invoices over digital.


  • the fact that they embedded it inline so it downloads instead of rendering on the page.

    it’s because most of these sites are hosted from vendors that charge per “change” and small businesses will point their dynamic stuff to google drive which doesn’t always allow stuff to be embedded and rendered within HTML. google does this to combat abuse like this where companies will host their entire website from a Google drive for “free”.



  • personally I was always a fan of the silly ren and stimpy-like animation and writing style of “The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog” that was voiced by Jaleel White (famous for playing Urkel on Family Matters).

    as a parent, I can appreciate the “Sonic Sez” skits at the ends of the episodes that cover important topics for young children. things like; don’t talk to strangers, tell a trusted adult if someone touches you, don’t touch guns, etc.

    another good cartoon would be CBS Storybreak. they animate stories or chapters from popular children’s books from the 80s and early 90s.




  • I never hated you. I’ve just been disappointed in the choices you have made that led you to become the person you are today. you were always my hero, until you stopped caring.

    to my older brother who has surrounded himself with white trash MAGA centric people and has become an unfathomable closet racist.

    I haven’t said it, because it would probably remove any possibilities of seeing each other again.

    growing up I always kind of looked up to him. he had to deal with more fucked up shit from both my parents than I ever had to. I admired his spirit to never give up and to continue moving forward.

    then one day, he just kind of settled. I think he just was afraid of being alone. thing is, he’s surrounded himself with empty husks of human beings that use him. he’s still alone, just alone with parasites.
