I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.
I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.
Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.
Also The Program on Netflix. It’s a really well put together documentary made by one of the students at a similar school.
I think about how many times things like this happen to individuals that don’t have the weight to warrant an article where their entire collection of online data just gets wiped out and Google responds with: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Don’t trust your data to the cloud, folks.
I can speak to this. I did phone support for 6 years working with VoIP (internet phones). In my experience, it’s much less their ability to learn and much more their willingness. So many people I worked with never wanted to go off their beaten track of what they already knew how to do.
They would do it often because it was a management decision and they were stuck with calling support. Even just training a group of 4-5 people how to transfer a call could take 15-30 minutes of explaining all the details. They don’t want new phones. They just want to get back to the work they know.
There are certainly exceptions and occasionally they will even find it fun to learn something new or get new features, but this was definitely not the rule.
I’ve always considered the perfect technology to be one you never realize you’re using. Linux, as broad and powerful as it’s utility can be, is anything but seamless to someone who doesn’t already have years of experience with it.
Because [buzzword here]!
Nope. They were just trolling and fucking around. It was obvious sarcasm:

I don’t know what it was, but after a while of using regularly, it got to a point where every time I smoked, I would get panicky and my stomach would be on the verge of throwing up.
It was overall a very unpleasant experience. I’ve since cut way back and only smoke on weekends and just a couple small joints at that.
I found when I had a vape pen or flower, I would take in huge amounts and it would send me to the stratosphere every time. Now I can actually stay coherent enough to remember and enjoy the experience.
I know I’ve heard about this happening to other people as well where it’s fine for a while, but then it’s like your body starts to reject or something along those lines.
All that being said, the few times I’ve gotten really drunk, the experience wasn’t enjoyable at all and the headache the next day was monumental.
Rule 1 is: The gun is ALWAYS loaded, even when you “know” it isn’t.
Not sure if this applies, but “You can never love someone else until you love yourself” was a lesson my dad taught me from a very young age.
If you don’t like yourself, you’ll almost inevitably end up with someone who is taking advantage because you won’t be able to stand up for yourself and you won’t speak up when they hurt you.
There are the very rare exceptions, but they are the ones who help you help yourself. Someone who truly helps you will not shower you with gifts or compliments, but rather will help you recognize and change what you don’t like about yourself. In other words, “Only a true friend would be that truly honest.”
Probably because this is just a poor implementation of one. Here’s an example from ChatGPT:
Sure! Here are some motivational four-word quotes:
- “Believe in your dreams.”
- “Never give up, ever.”
- “Success is the journey.”
- “Live life with passion.”
- “Dream big, achieve bigger.”
- “Push through the pain.”
- “Stay positive, stay strong.”
- “Embrace the unknown journey.”
- “Hard work pays off.”
- “Rise above the challenge.”
It seems like every time I see a bad example of an LLM failing, people seem to associate it with every LLM. Like most things, not all LLMs are the same quality.
For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.
I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.
I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.
If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.
I had the same horse all the way from the opening mission to 40 hours in. She was killed by an ambush in the woods and I couldn’t pick the game back up for a week.
Just for the novelty, I still enjoy the Titan AS-V.1: https://nerf.fandom.com/wiki/Titan_AS-V.1
This could be Incredible Machine maybe?
THAT’S THE WAY SHE
WHOOP WHOOP
“The SUN is WARMING UP?!?!”
Dang. I thought I was the only person who had ever heard of this one. Might have to boot it up in an emulator one of these days and give it a go.
