Just built my first fully dedicated Linux machine. Still keeping my old Windows desktop around purely because I play League of Legends and they use a kernel level anticheat, so it won’t run on VM.

Fun fact, ever since Riot made it mandatory to install their rootkit if you want to play their games, every time I try to eject a flash drive, it says it can’t eject because it’s in use - even if I just plugged it in. And that’s super comforting.

I might not remember what I was supposed to do this afternoon, but I know the surface temperature of the sun. I mean, I know there is one.

Apparently the long part is called a liripipe and in its nightcap form, it’s used like a scarf, to keep the back of the head warm.

Makes sense. Thanks for the info!

I finally got fed up with my Windows machine and upon seeing symptoms of motherboard failure, I’ve ordered all the parts for a new rig and intend on installing Linux as my primary OS.

Haven’t decided on a distro yet. I’m a DevOps engineer with a few passion projects, so I plan on setting up a couple of kubernetes clusters where I can play. I do all the usual things (word processing, gaming, web browsing, multimedia, etc), plus some AI stuff (stable diffusion, local LLMs, OpenCV). Ideally don’t want to have to fuss with drivers too much, but I don’t mind getting my hands dirty every now and then.

Is Chimera the kind of distro I should be looking at, or should I pick something else for my first go at full-time Linux?

I’d much rather have to worry about whether I’ve slept/reset spawn recently on the rare occasion that I go to the end than for it to always be on my mind when doing stuff in the overworld. Just personal preference.

I don’t care how long it takes as long as when it happens, they make it so phantoms only spawn in the end (I know it won’t happen please don’t squash my dreams)

Everything is a meme.

I’d call it a success, in that as I was scrolling, before I saw the title, I thought, “Is that meant to be Danny Pudi?”

I understand how this one is loss. I’m just saying that in general, all undecipherable memes lead to loss.

This is my reaction to any meme I don’t understand. I know it’s loss. I just need to figure out how it’s loss.

Annoying Orange.

Doesn’t bother me nearly as much as the ads with annoyingly smug-faced people saying things like, “I make ten thousand dollars a month playing solitaire,” because everyone knows playing solitaire while watching ads is super lucrative. I wish there were consequences for people who false advertise to such an astronomical degree, but there never will be.

This week’s episode is actually really good. You just have to watch the other 1071 episodes first and I swear you’ll like it.

Today, I’m celebrating my 109th birthday. Because when it actually happens I’ll be dead.

“Having legs” was always the most basic tool of bicyclist propaganda. If you have no legs, you can’t be fed bicyclist propaganda. The most steadfast anti-biker I knew in my childhood was a corn snake I found in my backyard. Bicycle propaganda did not reach him.

I imagine with inflation causing an increased frequency of relabeling and relabeling costs causing an increased rate of inflation, it’s only a matter of time before I become too lazy to finish this joke.
