After spending way too much time making a spreadsheet calculating the best value for Harbor Freight tarps, I can point out there is a “Camo Tax” for the 5 mil tarps resulting is disproportionately higher pricing per square foot. Your better values are in the 9 mil (Silver) or 7 Mil (Green) instead, except not the 8.33’ x 11.5’ Green #SpreadsheetsAreFun#HarborFreight#TheMoreYouKnow
@GossiTheDog there’s a wild amount of good detection engineering content squirreled away in obscure source repos. I stumbled upon some solid Sophos’ work recently that helped immensely. It’s a shame everyone’s hard work gets lost in rebrands and obscure GitHub locations
The world of second-hand #LEGO sellers is very diverse. You have the opportunists eager to make a quick buck, the meticulous hobbyists, the small brick and mortars business owners… And then there’s this tucked into a package.
when i was a lonely seventeen-year-old first-year undergrad, i had a burlap couch that i found in a dumpster outside of my apartment building, and a 27-inch RCA tv with rabbit ears. for the first year of living alone and going to university, i subsisted on 56k internet, Ultima Online, and late night tv.
after class, i'd get home, pour a bowl of cereal and grind away my miner-fighter character on the Great Lakes UO shard. after 11pm, late night tv shows would start to air - most of them were low budget, mildly titillating with adult themes, and a lot edgier than the family-friendly evening fare.
i only logged out temporarily for two shows: Dr Katz, Professional Therapist, and a totally obscure low-budget canadian science fiction series called First Wave.
First Wave was The X-Files on an Outer Limits budget, with a Highlander (the series) acting roster. and yet, within all those limitations, it somehow worked as a paranoid sci-fi thriller. every week, i'd pour another bowl of froot loops and sit for a guaranteed hour of alien abduction fantasies and conspiracy theories.
by the early 2000s, the popular thirst for sci-fi fantasy was replaced by gritty realism; the show was cancelled after three seasons.
after working nonstop for weeks without a break, tonight's the perfect night to break out a bowl of froot loops and settle into some 90s vancouver acting school drama 🙏

Kinda wanna write some #Wikipedia articles for old Linux distros people haven’t really heard of.
I added an external link to the #Yggdrasil#Linux page at least that has iso format of Yggdrasil Linux images.
Kind of worried about doing something wrong though, like whether a page I made is actually worthy or not. Like Storm Linux for example. There’s no page on that but there is for the company that made it.
@siliconundergro@SinclairSpeccy I second this. Focus on your own blog first for permanence / owning the content fully. Distill into Wikipedia later, let the idiot mods have their day if they want you’ll still have your own site and writing you control.
“#Durdraw is an ASCII, ANSI and Unicode art editor for UNIX-like systems (Linux, macOS, etc). It runs in the terminal and supports frame-based animation, custom themes, 256 colors, terminal mouse input, IRC color export, Unicode and Code Page 437 block characters, and other interesting features.
Durdraw is heavily inspired by classic ANSI editing software for MS-DOS and Windows, such as TheDraw, Aciddraw and Pablodraw, but with a modern Unix twist.” #bbs#ansiart#ansi
I have to accept that I can’t afford video game bundles from Steam anymore, no matter how attractive it is. Not financially, thankfully I have enough disposable income, but I simply don’t devote enough time to video games to play one in a reasonable timeframe before any other in the bundle goes on sale again.
Thus begins a first for me on two levels, one I will be simultaneously live tweeting, tooting and skeeting along with a movie and two that movie will be Swordfish from 2001, which I have never seen before.
"The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has called ground source heat pumps the most energy-efficient, environmentally clean, and cost-effective space conditioning systems available."
Can I afford the up-front cost? Hard to know, unless I can find an installer willing to drill boreholes on my property, so I can get a quote. (Ideally 2 to compare.)
“Once the message gets to the Streets Department, it will deploy one of about a dozen inspectors to investigate. If they can confirm squares of sidewalk are broken, said Streets spokesperson Kelly Cofrancisco, the inspector will issue a notice directing the homeowner to repair them.”

@jmhorner my understanding is the hallucination is just a side effect of LLM tech. It’s bewildering to me any big company would launch shit like this as a “Travel Guide Bot”. I’m waiting for the inevitable YouTube videos “I let AI book my vacation and my hotel didn’t exist” videos.
