  • Lmao you have no idea how right you are. Gives H.R Geiger a run for his money with some of the body horror in that book. That thing is tame compared to what else is in there. You’ll never see any art like it ever again though the author gets full points for unique vibes. it takes a very… Different mind to think and pen that stuff.




  • The secret nerd technique they don’t want you to know is to get a big usb stick housing for a proper m.2 SSD stick. Form wise its a slightly chunkier usb stick. Inside is a proper drive you can buy from a reputable source with terrabytes of storage and 3.0 speeds. A reputable SSD drive will easily last a decade.

    As far as store bought regular old sandisk will last a long long time.


  • arXiv is the standard for researcheres in my field to publish their works as an open collective. I’d like to formally offer it to the scientific community to both prove myself as a proper member of the field even if I never had formal education and maybe get a bit of clout added to a resume portfolio if its real and game-changing.

    I know how academics are though so im keeping expectations in check, have to have some healthy skepticism to keep myself in check about this in case its not or only passingly noteworthy.

    I have my own website where I do in-depth technical writing and im a community leader in some social media places so worst case scenario ill just add a section to my website and post on the social media places about it. If I make use of the findings to enhance my own systems then Ive proven to myself and the community who adopts them that it works as a functional useful system which is arguably more important and which may snowball.







  • Good to hear you figured it out with router settings. I’m also new to this but got all that figured out this week. As other commenters say I went with a reverse proxy and configured it. I choose caddy over nginx for easy of install and config. I documented just about every step of the process. I’m a little scared to share my website on public fourms just yet but PM me ill send you a link if you want to see my infrastructure page where I share the steps and config files.



  • At the end of the day you need to decide what kind of person you are. Are you pragmatic or idealistic? Are you able to separate art from artist and creation from creator? Should you support a good open source service created for the betterment of everyone if you dont like the politics of its developers?

    I’m a pragmatist by nature. I believe that a useful tool remains a useful tool even when its crafted by tankie assholes. If I found out the maker of a computer command like sudo was a leninist or whatever I wouldnt go out of my way to install an alternative just because I dont agree with the batshit politics of the creator. Just like I wouldn’t stop enjoying a song after finding out the ones who made it were greedy egotistical dickheads in personal life.

    Young and politically charged idealist love that online social justice warrior signalling and political identity posturing. Everythings gotta be us vs them culture war, with us needing to always be on the morally/politically high ground else your a filthy inhuman nazi them who must be refunded/canceled. You get older and realize most people no matter the lean have some level of dogshit half baked politics or some other degree of mental emotional whackiness from past trauma or poor life circumstances causing them to be imperfect animals with dumb fucking biases. That’s humanity and the heart of darkness for ya. You can choose to associate the imperfections of the creator with the creation, or you can try to decouple them and see them as separate entities linked by causality.







  • “The Grey” is the first thing to pop into my head.

    The stupid meme worthy part is the way wolves are presented as a threat in the movie is so over the top like old childrens folklore level omnipresent coked out superwolves with a 100 mile killing radius stripping the territory all threatening life larger than a squrrel and enough intelligence for tactical strategizing to pick an entire group of men 1 by 1.

    The way everything else is executed is what turns it around. The cinematography and the emotional human story of the main character guys motivations and interactions with the res5 of the group is fun. It makes it a good watch to spend an hour or two of your life on. The cast has some bangers and the acting is great.
