Yeah but he died. The health benefits were explicitly NOT outweighed because he’s fucking dead!

Good health and love aren’t worth much when you cease to exist.

Also, his mom gotta bury her son. She thought he was gonna go out, live his life, do stuff. Now when his birthday comes, she will cry. She gets to throw all his stuff away or box it up and save it because shes too heartbroken to get rid of it.

It isn’t a magic solution, no, but you have a lot more control than crummy layer 3 firewall rules and endless lists.

The big players have far more data about what bad looks like. Either we can play whack a mole with outdated tools and techniques or get smart and learn to use what is available.

Self hosting doesn’t mean we go backward in terms of the sophistication and difficulty, it means embracing modern solutions.

In the dinosaur days, we had primitive tools, but so did the attackers. We cannot hope to self host with any measure of security if we bring piss to a shitfight.

Because mike Meyers is entertaining and the movies are well-made goofy fun.

Its not so complicated. Also, does anyone still make comedy anymore? Seems like it has fallen off a lot.

Get a WAF. Sophos firewall is free if you want to diy. If not, use cloudflare.

Opening ports, logging, monitoring, nailing up allow listed IP addresses and dicking around with fail2ban is such a timesuck. None of that crap will stop something from exploiting a vulnerability.

Some things are worth farming out to a 3rd party. Plus, you can just point your DNS entry over and be mostly done. No more dynamic IP bs.

Dumb deer go away

I totally have a hormone imbalance, but if being normal means wanting to do dangerous stuff, I will happily remain imbalanced.

I will never understand the appeal of such dangerous hobbies.

Roller coasters are pretty thrilling and dont come with the risk of death (typically).

I like being alive more than I need some thrills.

See, this is so true!

Now someone tell my wife that using a fuck machine in my my ass and nipple clips is super reasonable!

Please and thank you.

I’m very well aware, but the apple folks tend to be a LOT more dogmatic and vocal. When people talk shit about android, nobody really cares. Do it to apple? Jfc.

I am pointing this out because the current mess will never change for the better until apple users stop supporting apple. No, you dont have a lot of choices, but stop signaling support for them. Get mad and demand better. Be vocal about THAT.

All the apple fans out down voting today…

FYI this may not be the time to take allegiance with them if you at all understand what is going on.

Seriously, I was em dashing on a goddamn typewriter, the fuck am I gonna change it now.

In the end, it won’t matter. Being able to write well will be like riding a horse, calligraphy or tuning a carburetor. They will all become hobbies, a quirky past time of rich people or niche enthusiasts with limited real-world use.

Maybe it is for the best. Most people can’t write for shit (does not help that we often use our goddamn thumbs to do most of it) and we spend countless hours in school trying to get kids to learn.

Science fiction has us just projecting our thoughts to other without the clumsiness of language as the medium. Maybe this is just the first step.

I have been thinking about this for quite a while, and I think I have a pretty solid solution. Now, keep in mind, it is easy to dismiss it because it is simple, but once you dig into it you will see the benefits. I propose on-fire things.

I know, I know, but just consider it before you write it off. Yo dont have to go all-in, maybe dabble a little and see how it feels.

Not to defend it, but the first time I encountered the term was when BlackBerry released their Playbook tablet. It ran their bbos10 and they created an android emulator so you could run some android apps. The process of installing the apk into the emulator was called sideloading.

I miss BlackBerry is all I really wanted to say.

MOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM! THEY’RE MAKIN DIRTY JOKES AND I DON LIKE EM!!!

Just because they stock them doesn’t mean everyone has to buy them.

Also, which is it? You have to pay more for neat colors or non-colors have a higher resale? Can’t be both.

I can say that when I bought my car (used) it was about $2000 more than equivalent cars because it is bright green. All the bland colors were always cheaper.

I’m willing to believe that dealers charge more for colors, but its clear that they carry more value. You dont need 20 people to buy a used car, just one.

I did a search on cargurus for Subaru crosstreks and corvettes. Blue for each, white for each. There are always fewer blue in both cases and they are in all but a few cases, more expensive.

Stop that.

I have been saying for years that data centers are a drag on the local economy. Theyre like football stadiums. They benefit a small few while the rest of us pay for them.

Instead of a tax hike, we pay more for electricity. Happened here in Ohio. Stupid jackwagon politicians gave Meta, Microsoft, google tax abatements if they build here. So they did, they use a lot of electricity and now our electric bills are constantly going up. We get nothing in this transaction.

If your town proposes these leeches, get out there and do something before its too late.

You just HAD to wait until the end, didn’t you?
