Well I got some items coming to review from the tiktok shop I stumbled across. Including a metal mouse, I think it was made out of Magnesium if not mistaken, was actually surprised they approved my sample request as it's a $100 mouse.

Curious to see how it stacks up to the Logitech G903 on my main linux box, the G502 I default to at work and many machines, and the Ploopy Adept trackball I use on my stream box.

I just went through my tier list on and I know I will get some hate for this. Yes Hannah Montana Linux deserves S tier there is no debate.

@penalbatoday because of most people jumping on tails don’t use it right when things like Whonix and Qubes OS exist. Kali because same thing like back in the day they installed as root, I prefer ParrotOS over Kali

@slade yeah it's probably the best daily driving OS I've used and I've been on it since @system76 released their first LTS. I am about to upgrade to Pop!_OS 24.04 just have to make note of a few custom launch scripts I had.

I hated the argument my family would always give me when I cut off my mother or father. "But they're you're family!" and they would shutter when I would say, "Right, so that makes it even more inexcusable to cross my boundaries repeatedly." My parents are supposed to protect me not cause me to have anxiety and panic attacks.

I swear if I ever have children, I will never put them through the hell my father has put me through most of my life.

I will be starting the installation of Mastodon v4.2.9 on Masto.host.

There will be about 15 seconds of downtime during the upgrade.

Changelog: https://github.com/mastodon/mastodon/releases/tag/v4.2.9

@mastohost oh no 15 seconds, whatever shall I do with myself /sarcasm

Those two months of taking a break from content creation on tiktok and Twitch kind of hurt my savings for my projects as I have a separate bank account for all this.

I would really appreciate new Twitch and Tiktok subscribers and I have some items for review that I purchased that I will give honest reviews to, but also tips/donations are always appreciated

I did manage to also get a sponsor for @defcon but I will need to raise/save money for the actual DEFCON trip. You know things like food.

I plan to cover the event (without recording the public areas of DEFCON for privacy reasons) and I am trying to get a laptop stood up for a portable OBS setup next month. I physically have the laptop just need to sit down and set it up but I have to make my current OBS portable.

Any tips/donations and subscribers in the link above are appreciated

@bpavuk if they will send me one. I'll try and hit them up as I have worked with other vendors. I am still waiting on my @mntmn Pocket Reform I paid for out of my own pocket. I am seriously excited to review that one as it's been a dream.

I came across this soldering Iron and I am considering getting it to replace my Pinecil if the price is right. Looks comparable to the Pinecil, but it is more open source, and this pleases me.

I love how people tried telling me that Twitter was better and I was wasting my time months ago with Mastodon and the Fediverse. Because more people are on X then wonder how I learn about all the latest cool and , my response is usually .

I mean I even found out about MNT and their Pocket Reform being released from stumbling across a post last summer from @mntmn in my federated feed. I don't think I would have ever heard of it before the release date on Twitter/X.

Woke up to a fraudulent charge from a prior vendor charging me a yearly license for software I paid a lifetime license for.

Had to follow up with PayPal on it as well. As this was $60

chiefgyk3d,
@chiefgyk3d@social.chiefgyk3d.com avatar

Well PayPal’s automated system kicked back it wasn’t unauthorized activity. Their dispute center is horrible to make a claim. Don’t ask why it made me file as that.

Once it posts I have to go to my bank

Allegedly Shyne is who snitched on Diddy and if that’s true we should all be praising him and blasting his music

chiefgyk3d,
@chiefgyk3d@social.chiefgyk3d.com avatar

If Shyne was the one who snitched on Diddy. All I can think is how Shyne just wanted to spend some cheese while Puff Daddy wanted to just spread some cheeks.

Maybe it’s the lack of caffeine but this cracked me up when I thought of it based on Shyne’s song 🤣🤣🤣

I am tired don’t think I will stream tonight. I was at the vet with dogs and my dad got in a fight with me and I had to cut him off and go no contact again. Only opened the door due to a death in the family and I gave him an inch and he took a mile.

God bless @protonprivacy and discovering I can block emails there as he was emailing me there, on office365, and texting. All blocked.

Mental health has to come first

I don’t know why there are accounts linking to twitter/X posts on Mastodon. That shit will turn people off to your content around here. Most of us left that. It’s fine if you want to repost content on both platforms but stop linking to Twitter on mastodon. Learn that we are different and separate communities and how we interact.

@x00001 I mean that’s acceptable, but I’m talking about the people just blatantly trying to get you to see posts inside of Twitter that there’s really no reason to.

Slowly chipping away at making a MNT Pocket Reform keyboard. Love that there's a spot for a 3v3 power regulator and powering the sucker via USB. No PCB changes needed :D

@DoI is that a Pinecil from @PINE64 in the picture? I am so excited to get my hands on mine hopefully in June, maybe July. I really want this to be my and device.
