I've got close to 400 films and 30 series in my collection, at least 40% of it is from thrift stores and libraries. I'm certain that libraries would be totally down with you copying their media, so long as you kept it hush hush. Is their whole purpose not to disseminate information and media to the people?

My great grandmother had an arc shaped burn mark on her windowsill. I asked her where it was from.

Turns out the crystal ball on the piano wasn't always on the piano.

Don't out my MO please <3

Get you a nice private VPN and set up a kodi install configured for piracy. Honestly there's probably bandit signs in your neighborhood selling firesticks and roku boxes that're already set up for it.

alternatively, don't steal your media and buy physical copies, then rip them to set up a jellyfin. Thrift stores have tons of VHS and DVDs. Ebay has a huge selection of cheap bootlegs that can offer you plausible deniability if legit copies are too expensive.

Thingy if it's attached to me. Thingie if it's a cute small object I enjoy the appearance of.

"this is my thingy"
"Ooh what's that thingie?"

Oh God I need to buy my ddr2 before you all start swarming for the new old stock.

men who have sex with men

My friend just say "people who have anal sex". You're excluding straight people who do butt stuff, and your excluding transfemme tops who do butt stuff. Saying "people who have anal sex" includes those groups as well as those who eat ass but otherwise don't put things in butts.

It's not just gay and bisexual men who put things in butts. Not even close.

Confidence is key, as long as he knows he looks good and wears it as such, he'll still pull.

Src: have been pulled by hot guys with neckbeards

I think I'm gonna move the goalpost on my life goals a bit.

New Life goal: Have more started projects than projects relegated to the ideas drawer.

I'd recommend ddrescue over dd for optical media backups only because if you've got bad blocks it will try them again at a different speed/angle

It isn't, like even a little.

I've got a wordpress instance that I've federated into the fediverse and as soon as I did I went from 2-3 spam comments a week to over 50 a week. I've since set up a honeypot and that has dropped to zero. These probably aren't AI agents but they're certainly bots (humans can't see my honeypot unless they're browsing the raw HTML and afict my audience wouldn't do that)

There is absolutely nothing stopping your from spinning up a Masotodon, Lemmy, or any other AP federated platform and unleashing AI agents all across it other than your own conscience.

I used to write a ton of code while caffeinated.

Now I write less, better code since quitting caffeine.

There was a brief period where I was incapable of doing anything at all between the state of high caffeination and no caffeination.

Makes me think of how I recently read Ishmael and it literally changed my life. I understand now. I am ape. Do as ape do.

There's like, a lot more than that, but that was my biggest takeaway (which would probably make the author very sad given what the book was actually about)

This is getting really old. Can these dorks please do something valuable with their time? Maybe contribute (positively) to society a little?

(and no I don't consider teaching arch users to be more responsible with their package management a positive contribution to society)

I know this is technically off topic because it's windows, but like, it was done in the spirit of unixporn.

Hope my shitpost is ok, love y'all.

Oh I see, the military is allowed to have ad-tracking disabled but when I have an adversarial noise generator running to produce alternative ad profiles and obfuscate my person from my device I'm a "terrorist" and "won't be allowed back in the country if I leave"

You ain't got no VRAM, lieutenant Dan.

Where are you planning to put those textures you're loading.

I know the performance should be sufficient to game with, but Idk about that one.

I'm a vim stan. I love my vim. I still end up installing nano on all my machines. It's honestly not even for me anymore, it's for anyone else who happens to use it. Vim is great but it's got a learning curve.

Often times I'll just use vi, since it's always there.

Yes. Definitely one of those.

Aim for step 2.5 and be the middle guy but hosting it all on a retired PC in the closet. It's almost like step 3.

Alternatively, I guess you could use a VPS but those can get expensive quick.
