Wikipedia functionally ended the market for encyclopedias. When I was a kid I would go to the library and read an encyclopedia just to see what random knowledge was in there. Traveling salesman would sell encyclopedias door to door and they were hugely expensive. Then Encarta came along and it was mind blowing you could have all that information on some CDs. Then Wikipedia killed all of them and did it for free.

When computers began to take hold in middle class homes, one of the biggest gold rushes was to be the encyclopedia of choice on the computer, since consumers saw encyclopedia software as an obvious (and maybe best!) use case for a computer.

Where do you look for stuff like that?

My account has been locked up because my daughter has three separate BG3 games going with friends. Last week my son said we need to put a time limit on her because nobody else can play on Steam.

I play SSX 3 Gamecube like it’s my 2nd job.

Thanks for posting this. I didn’t know it existed.

I bought the game and I still considered emulating it just to run it at higher res.

which kinda sucks, honestly. it’s not like these kids seem to have really had a great chance before, then she runs for congress.

Engineering is the usual path into SCADA, but most firms require specialists and networking is certainly a needed specialty.

They will be cut up and all over socials the next morning. Nobody hit like Jon in the Daily Show format.

I screencapped this because I can’t trust the internet to have it when I want to come back and laugh at it again.

Can’t help but feel like this is the market that exists for anything Pokémon adjacent because Pokémon has sucked ass for like a decade.

I run it as a docker app then feed it to Plex and jellyfin.

I know enough to be dangerous. I know enough to follow faqs but dumb enough to not backup like I should.

So I’d be running my server on bare metal and have a couple services going and sooner or later, shit would get borked. Shit that was miles past my competence to fix. Sometimes I’d set up a DB wrong, or break it, or an update would screw it up, and then it would all fall apart and I’m there cursing and wiping and starting all over.

Docker fixes that completely. It’s not perfect, but it has drastically lowered my time working on my server.

My server used to be a hobby that I loved dumping hours into. Now, I just want shit to work.

Absolutely.

I’m not trying to convince. I’m trying to say use less words.

I used to use a self hosted nitter for FreshRSS too. I gave up completely. I pruned all the Xitter feeds and looked for other sources.

I really hope there’s a better defense than that, because that was high school level rhetoric and propaganda.

Also, man The Hill can’t stop being shit. Damn

FreshRSS is great. Container is easy to run.

coughs between drags

yea prolly. fuck that.

Your entire comment can be boiled down to “I don’t find this “tenable” and the issue isn’t important to me relative to other issues”.

That’s fine. You can think that. Just go the brevity route next time. It respects the reader more than a wall of text.
