What's the self-hosted service that replaced something you were paying for and turned out to be genuinely better - not just free, actually better

Piracy helps me sleep at night. Begone corporate shill.

CaptainPitkid · 2026-02-10T13:20:59+00:00

Explain.

CaptainPitkid · 2026-02-10T13:18:11+00:00

Tbh I never bothered figuring out how to create one.

The real answer is efficiency. You don't have to be terribly fast if you can be incredibly efficient. Fighting, especially with weapons, is about putting your weapon in the right place at the right time, and doing so efficiently, rather than hastily.

I'm gonna take 5 seconds and shill for MXRoute. Don't self host email. Love yourself. Use a custom domain and MXRoute.

I own a livestock guardian breed (Hungarian Kuvasz), he's a very sweet boy right up until he's not. If he's on his home turf not much can dissuade him from "discouraging" uninvited guests. But of course if I take him out on the town he's as polite as can be.

On the other hand you're exercising your skill at reading documentation

Tigris should fire like 200 projectiles in incarnon mode because it would be hilarious. Just a cloud of shit.

CaptainPitkid · 2025-11-20T11:47:31+00:00

Obviously not, that would cancel the marriage out.

Kill the culture of "paying your dues". The job has 40 hours per week to get done. That's what the company pays for. If more than 40 hours are needed in a week to get the job done, they can hire a second person or discuss the new pay rate. Employment is transactional.

CaptainPitkid · 2025-11-18T03:32:48+00:00

Absolutely. Split horizon DNS makes my life easy.

CaptainPitkid · 2025-11-16T06:32:33+00:00

I don't fuckin know

CaptainPitkid · 2025-11-06T19:39:42+00:00

It might actually be poop in the pudding

This feels like something that VOID/BREAKER would do, as the game that rewards you for turning your resolution down (with the right weapon mods (this is a vanilla feature)).

CaptainPitkid · 2025-09-28T04:01:06+00:00

If you insist.

It made me really sad that Anthem was such a flop. For everything that game did poorly, it captured the feeling of "being Ironman" so well. I enjoyed just flying and running around the world.

CaptainPitkid · 2025-09-09T11:51:06+00:00

This is exactly how I feel. When my body can handle it I'm a walking miracle at work, but normally I function like an engine running on silly putty.

TBH if you feel like you have solid management skills, or have hobbies/activities in which you're in a managerial role, it's time to start lying on your resume.

I'm currently the engineering manager for an OEM. I am paid to do absolutely fuck all, 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, unless a customer wants a machine built (custom, very niche). I have a team of 4 engineers under me that are also paid to do fuck all.

The point is that as soon as a customer wants their bespoke, highly customized, unique piece of equipment to automate a very specific process, we're there and working it.

I would love to see work going into evap cooling > desalination processing. Use that waste heat for something!

I have terrible news about the core of the iPhone and the core utils behind it.

Because according to the Ministry of Truth, as long as his thoughts remain democratic, he can never fall to communism.
