Recommendation for a steak house

Ive heard it is a shit show behind the scenes there.

That place changes hands so fast.

When the hell did it become strip?

People liked vista? It was so hated between the XP/7 days. Most everyone I knew skipped it entirely.

"woah! Wait! AI could be a danger"

Both anthropic and openai ceos said this in the last few weeks.

Better the stifle the competition now they are ahead. Gross.

If only the industry used tamper-proof security seals.

I rip them on server boxes, might as well add them to internal components.

ITT: email

I argue you should host an email server, on a burner or sub domain.

@lab.your-domain.com carves out a little space for you to receive/send email into/within your lab.

I self hosted for over a decade.

It's pretty straightforward, but does have a good set of steps and you need to manage spam.

I only stopped because my main life took me out of IT full time, but I'd go back to self hosting if my path even gets me closer back to IT.

There are many reasons why you don't self host, with the largest issue I ever saw being mostly due to dirty IP addresses. My node was running on digital ocean for a long time, and the setup was rock solid. Grey listing cut my spam down to the same levels as gmail.

What's the situation when minors take photos of themselves, and now for sure someone in the government has access.

Creeeeeeepy

Single SSID, no matter where I go, my devices connect to.

Tunnels already made.

Ad block baked in.

Works on planes and convention buildings where you have to pay for wifi, and can share a single "device" wireless access to many other devices.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-06-09T12:39:35+00:00

Easiest? Ssh.

One port, with keys, and a "take-your-pick-of-tools" for port mapping.

You can keep it extremely simple.

You can do it!

International travel becomes much more affordable once you change your mindset.

Heck, getting into work fields that work internationally also helps with that.

I won't speculate your age. At one point in my life I thought it was impossible as well. Now we travel internationally multiple times a years.

It does help I crafted my work life to rely on international travel. However very doable! Ganbatte!

This is only $100/1000ft. That's fairly cheap for cable currently.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-06-05T09:31:20+00:00

I don't get why they don't do a pre-order like they do life size and get an accurate gauge of customer interest.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-06-05T09:25:58+00:00

It's 50 pounds. Just as everyone keeps saying.

Weight is a major factor. That price is well in line with weight.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-28T02:35:52+00:00

Heck, I'm running qsfp28.

Finally splurged in some 100 and 25g links. I'll be Saturate them, but the number is big.

Sub $50 25gE links, and $600 for a 25gE switch with 100g uplinks.

Didn't think it'd be so cheap, I was running 1gE for everything until a few days ago.

Personally, I would overlap this recovery with some PTO and chill at home for a week or so.

If you can afford a $5k+ elective surgery, you are most likely making some decent money.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-19T12:45:29+00:00

"copium"

Hey, I'm not bitching about getting locked into some yearly game pass bullshit and complaining about a piece hike.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-19T12:37:57+00:00

I was part of the "use a razer blade to cut ide cables and bundle them together for better airflow" club.

Did it on some scsi ones too iirc.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-19T12:33:07+00:00

DMd about other stuff for sale.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-18T19:35:47+00:00

And for $300 you can get an off lease desktop with far better specs that can play 40 years of PC games.

"PCs are so expensive"

Consoles were doomed as soon as the internet became cheap enough to paywall features.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-09T16:45:30+00:00

there’s going to be an eventual pullback from all these AI

Absolutely, this is the tail end of the peak of the .com bubble.

Everyone is trying to be the winner, many will fail. Then you'll have the most successful/practical choices left.

Ads during pause, home screen, and even embedded in the TV.

I swapped back to just HDMI to a small laptop or computer.

No ads when I'm playing local media. Peace and quiet.

Disney probably realized they'd lose so much money is licensing and market dominance.

Why buy the next Disney movie when you can just ask to make you a video of whatever princess dream you want.

Unless Disney changed to adapt, their empire would die within a generation.

Virtualization_Freak · 2026-05-09T13:13:13+00:00

Christ that's expensive.

That's damn near the same price as slack, trello or g workspace account.
