  • Mainly that I don’t understand how to use containers… or VMs that well… I have and old MyCloud NAS and little pucky PC that I wanted to run simple QoL services on… HomeAssistant, JellyFin etc…

    I got Proxmox installed on it, I can access it… I don’t know what the fuck I’m doing… There was a website that allowed you to just run scripts on shell to install a lot of things… but now none of those work becuase it says my version of Proxmox is wrong (when it’s not?)… so those don’t work…

    And at least VMs are easy(ish) to understand. Fake computer with OS… easy. I’ve built PCs before, I get it… Containers just never want to work, or I don’t understand wtf to do to make them work.

    I wanted to run a Zulip or Rocket.chat for internal messaging around the house (wife and I both work at home, kid does home/virtualschool)… wanted to use a container because a service that simple doesn’t feel like it needs a whole VM… but it won’t work…














  • Don’t troll globally, troll locally.

    Trolling shit on Twitter, etc is pretty pointless, you’re just posting to other internet warriors… Pissing in an ocean of piss.

    But when you troll on Nextdoor (or apps like it)… it’s like “BoomerWorld”. Still bigoted and ignorant, but also not jaded from the internet at large. So they eat up shit, they just don’t expect people will go on there and tell lies (they really do that). You don’t get as many “views”, but the ones you do are just so much sweeter. It’s like you’re touching real lives… it’s heartwarming.

    I believe in grassroots trolling. o7








  • Actually, the keys part is fake. But Superman offering the liquor bottle is real.

    For added context, he’s offering the bottle to SixPack, an alcoholic and minor hero. Unknown to himself, SixPack is a sleeping god whose dreams warp reality. He was starting to sober up after a traumatic event but it was causing him to dream a version of the world without superheroes, our world. Superheroes were losing their power or becoming vulnerable.

    And so, Superman figures this out and to prevent the collapse of their known universe, he offers SixPack a bottle of liquor so that he forgets this other world and the sleeping god becomes dormant again.


  • which I hate… especially the “shorts”…

    tween daughter has adhd, easily falls into tiktok brainrot hellholes. Has trouble with self-regulation and self-control… I still want her to have music to listen to and do things (some lofi to study/chill to, etc)… but now, Spotify is yet another vector for distraction that consumes her.

    People be like “parent’s should take responsibility for their kids”… I’m like “mf, I’m trying, but every app in the world is trying to be social media” And the parental controls they offer are shiiiiiiiit. Because it’s not in a companies best interest to provide parents with tools to limit features.
