  • It isn’t like it makes me cool. I was talking about how I enjoy making shit.

    And I don’t fucking care about downvotes. I can’t cash in internet points. God, the voting system which Reddit and Digg used was supposed to be for relevancy, not about if you agreed or not.

    I don’t know you, and outside of the respect of general life, I don’t give a fuck what some random person on the internet thinks of me. In fact, I don’t want you to know me.

    However, if you met me, you would get a solid realization that text is a terrible form of communication.

    You cannot see the tone of my voice. You cannot hear the look on my face. You cannot feel my energy without a handshake.

    I don’t like toxicity over the fact that all I said was it isn’t practical to install Doom on your car.

    But you can hate me all you want. Don’t know why you specifically just want to rage on the internet as if this means a single thing to your life.

    The newspaper will come out after I am dead and I will not be mentioned.

    We have 8 billion people on this planet who want to judge me, so I won’t bother with doing your “job”.

    But I think if you did know me, you might be kinder and recognize I am not an asshole.

    I am a prick, and that is fair. Assholes get fucked. So… get fucked. I have to go to work.

    And an mp3 player, where you start with a personally designed pcb, solder on the components, design the core logic, write the code, attach an LCD, and print an enclosure. Meh? You build one.

    You’re so meh, I bet you think this comment is about you. You’re so meh! Don’t you, don’t you, dooon’t you!


  • I am not asking what your definition of propaganda is. I am saying I am missing your frame of reference.

    She doesn’t do propaganda. We would have never, ever dated. She ended up working at a hospital.

    So I guess raising awareness for women to check themselves and how to for breast cancer (literally what she did) is somehow now propaganda.

    You don’t like boobs and human lives? Are you one of those anti-breast-checkers? Breast cancer denier?

    Well, I am drinking the kool-aid, Alex Jones. /simply being facetious, not mocking you, so please take no offense.

    So I do computers/networks/programming, and I have a big white board in my living room.

    She was finishing her bachelors and I came home one day to find she wrote “I am so sick of talking about talking!”

    I didn’t erase it. Just worked around it. And I would point at it anytime I had to repeat myself. I am obviously a charmer.

    But we aren’t together now, actually, because she didn’t want children and I did. So it goes.




  • Why are people just being assholes? I thought we were talking about computers?

    So which is it:

    Am I a prick because I said that they loaded Linux onto a car’s computer and they installed Doom, which is impractical, but certainly a cool feat to get Linux on there.

    But Doom? You can’t shoot imps while you are driving.

    You’re rocking a 5090? You doing video work? Mining?




  • I would rather just get a $100 brocade off eBay. Ubiquiti edge routers (at least four years ago) were nice but good god: don’t let them lose power.

    Fortunately, the router runs off a thumb drive, but when you are trying to fix a network that is in production and the FNG figures he can just power cycle it like Comcast taught him with his router at home… fml. Especially on a WAN (like ISP), it is a fucking nightmare.

    I have found Sophos and Netgate to be good solutions for small businesses, except setting VLANs on Netgate is a pain, but so is setting a VPN on Sophos. And Sophos is also a licensing bitch.


  • God, I agree so hard. And they rename shit rather than sticking to IEEE standards. And while GSM3 is free, the firmwares aren’t.

    It is cheaper to buy a $100 48 port brocade off eBay than a $5000 24 port that then requires you to pay to learn how to use it.

    Cisco is the network devil, as well as Fortigate, Juniper, and Sonicwall. Ubiquiti is almost getting to be as bad but in a different way: let’s make shit so user friendly that CEOs love it, but user unfriendly so that network guys are like, "dude, this should be fucking simple! I have to dig into all these menus and then find the field buried in a pretty format.

    “Just give me the terminal. Oh, I can ssh in but I don’t have sudo. Nope, you need to use the convoluted web UI to so that.”






  • I know it isn’t. But it is a necessary step. And you should know that as well.

    The cool part is that they figured out how to interface with it.

    Why is everyone just trying to be the bigger asshole? Are you just begging for it because you think I am the biggest prick?

    You can run Doom on a fridge. I am not saying the feat isn’t admirable. I bet it was tough to get Doom to run on a C64. That’s very cool, as is the achievement that this post is about.

    I don’t understand the itch in your ass.
