You guys are coping?

Goddammit, do I need to get another diagnosis and build another support system?

Homelabs are just platforms for endless side projects!

I spent a little bit deciding between Bazzite and Kinoite when I got my PC and ultimately went with Kinoite since I still have some work stuff to do every now and then. Not a single issue on my end so far.

I was told it was actually a good thing that I’m currently doing the work of five people–while the federal government is still deciding we don’t actually need to hire people–because everyone will notice and I’ll definitely get a raise and a promotion.

When I do get a raise and promotion it’ll be because of the one or two more important projects I haven’t been able to work on because of less important but more urgent tasks that I would normally delegate. So technically, I’m not even performing at my current level.

In my experience it’s the boomers that base their own worth entirely on how hard they work.

Well yeah, people that are seeking out an open decentralized platform are more likely to not be fans of a closed centralized operating system.

That sets you up for “tell me a random fact.” I would be stuck buffering on that for a while.

I do the same thing with cables. I was holding onto a phone cord for well over ten years (no idea where it came from in the first place) and finally tossed it out after telling myself there will never be a need for it. Guess what I needed two weeks later?

This will also be my first time not preordering a Pokemon game since Black, let alone buying it. Not that I won’t still play it by other means.

Guess I lied. I didn’t have the Virtual Boy. But does the Pokemon Mini really count as a console?

This whole practice, among other things, is so shitty that I decided to not get a Switch 2, having had every Nintendo console since the NES.

But it’s important to make the distinction between disabling and bricking. It may seem like a technicality, but that’s the kind of thing that’ll get a lawsuit dismissed. Not that I have any faith in that process anyway.

My autistic wife is the reason our home hasn’t inexplicably burned to the ground!

I mean, I’ve only gotten those from one tracker, and haven’t gotten them since I’ve removed that one tracker. Sonarr at least recognizes it’s not a media file and won’t copy it to your media folder. And you can use regex filters with qBittorrent. There hasn’t been a legitimate use of .arj in what, 30 years? So you won’t be missing anything by filtering it.
