I at least have external backups for important family pics and docs! But yea the homelab itself is severely lacking. If it dies, I get to start from scratch. Been gambling for years that “I’ll get around to a backup solution before it dies”. I wouldn’t bet on me :|

What’s a backup solution…? (I’m only being half sarcastic, I really need to set one up, but it’s not as “fun” as the rest of my homelab, open to suggestions)

Agreed. I wasn’t the one that claimed that

Note, I don’t know how comprehensive this wiki list is, just quick research

From those, I’m only currently using a handful.

I guess I was assuming they wanted a forewarning system, to prevent finding out the hard way that it was a shart not a fart

Not sure how smart undies could accomplish that. Unless they come with some sort of insertable environmental monitoring probe…

Tossup between “buy Bitcoin now” and “you are autistic”

The first one, because, obviously. The second one, because I didn’t find out until I was in my 30s. My lemmy account is older than my diagnosis.

“Now, the latest study shows that on top of killing the host queen, T kinomurai also reproduces asexually by producing clones of itself, and tricks the surviving host workers into rearing the offspring.”

So do the clones then convince the workers to kill the original clone? Repeat until the colony falls apart because workers aren’t being produced?

As scummy as it is, it’s still how they make their living. Not at all taking their side, but I get pissed when someone wastes my time at work too. No idea how their pay structure is, but if it’s commission based, yea, more anger for having time wasted make sense

That’s a big ol grenis

I once handed in my two weeks notice less than a week after finally getting an overdue promotion. Was laughing my ass off internally while saying thanks for the raise, I had to wait a few more days for my 401k to fully vest, then bailed

OnlyPhones is the future they want. Walled gardens and highly addictive apps and subscriptions and micro transactions. Freedom and real compute power will be locked away in their servers. And the top of the line phones are already expensive enough that pretty much everyone that has one is on a payment plan for it

It’s the grift that keeps on grifting. How long can it keep going

Dude was well studied in his psychological manipulation. I was browsing the files and found a research paper on memory suppression/manipulation of children aged 4-13 or so. Supremely fucked up

They’re just one of today’s lucky 10,000. No shame in that

Old meme reference

There’s some tech blog/news site (can’t recall the name right now) that tries to shame me into turning off my ad blocker and viewing their ads with an extra pop up

“Hey! We noticed your browser isn’t displaying ads. Can you…”

HAHA NO

Thanks for the interesting info! I figured it was used somewhere, just hadn’t seen it.

And reminded me of the unit I saw once that I hate the most. Kilofeet… Not kidding. Apparently used in telecommunications as a unit of length for spools of cable, probably for similar reasons of easier math but couldn’t fully switch from the US standard.

AcKsHuLlY it could also be in rankine

I’m being pedantic as fuuuuuck because I’ve never actually seen it used in real life. For those that don’t know, it’s similar to Kelvin in that 0 is actually absolute zero, but the degree step sizes are the same as fahrenheit
