Originally, I was too poor to afford software. Then my CD/dvd books were stolen and I couldn’t afford to replace the media I’d been collecting my entire life. I bought an external drive, an s-video to RF modulator, a Bluetooth keyboard and connected my computer to channel 3.
Eventually Pandora and Netflix were released and I stopped pirating. I spent most of a decade buying all of my media. Then I tried to buy a complete set of Good Eats and it wasn’t possible.
There was literally no way to purchase every episode legally. So I took the $500 I was going to spend on that box set and put it towards an ebay’d server and some drives.
By the time the streaming wars started to gain steam, I had everything automated, and was pushing 50TB of storage.
The big difference between IT and Devops is that IT fixes a problem, Devops solves it. In IT roles, I’m usually stuck pissing on the same fires over and over. In Devops roles, I’m given the time to go get a hose and put the fire out.
This time the issue was on the lemmy.world side where their federation worker responsible for lemmy.dbzer0.com, lemmy.blahaj.zone and lemmings.world among others b0rked and was sending 1 federation per minute at best. Unfortunately it seems just that single federation worker borked, which affected us again, because we’re...
I spent years getting great with powershell so I can now confidently copy code out of chatgpt. Chatgpt’s ability to spit out close to correct code faster than I can type it is amazing, but useless if you don’t understand what the hell it’s trying to do.
I’m learning to make my own clothes, but fabric is expensive and buying patterns from corporations feels like death by a thousand cuts. Anybody know of a resource for shared patterns? Megathread understandably doesn’t address this particular need.

I understand why they did what they did and it makes me think of how db0 and other admins are saying fuck all and taking a very big liability for making and supporting a free internet and i want to say all the work you do is very much appreciated.

That’s what angers me about these articles. Millennials graduated high school to the Dot Com burst. We took out a bunch of student loans after not being able to find any work, graduated to the great recession. Spent a decade trying to pay down our student loans to 0 effect. Then got hit with the pandemic. We’ve given up on there being a future. Why the fuck should I put money in a 401k to prop up billionaires’ fortunes? My wages are never going to be enough to retire. I might as well have some fun now while my body isn’t completely broken.
My big problem with quitting assassin’s creed is that it’s the best representation of what these places looked like hundreds of years ago. I know it’s not 100% accurate, but the fact that my wife could guide me around Rome in game because she’d lived there is one of my favorite gaming experiences. Replaying an AC game and reading all of the research has made vacations to places where they’re set amazing.
That said, I’m never buying a subscription to games. The second I can’t buy the game and have it, I’ll stop taking their abuse.
One of the things that drives me crazy about fibromyalgia research is that every tested treatment seems to “help” 60% of people. CBT, acupuncture, stretching, going for a walk/run, and gabapentin all have studies saying they work for 60%. It really makes me question if 60% of people diagnosed with fibromyalgia have something completely different than the fibromyalgia I have.
There are a couple of things that make this easier :
throw your trimmings from vegetables into freezer bags. Then freeze them until you have a day to make broth. Onion peels color broth, so don’t forget to save those.
concentrate the broth. Once you have the flavor you like, strain out the chunks and put it back on a simmer until there’s 1/4 to 1/2 the volume.
pour the concentrated broth into muffin tins and freeze. Pop them out and throw them in a freezer bag. You now have individually portioned condensed broth that you can throw in whatever you’re cooking.
