Subtoot: Fuck Vimeo anyway. They charge uploaders for bandwidth consumed by viewers. May as well self-host your videos at that rate.
God dammit. I got some used #airpodsmax AirPods Max a week ago or so, and I see why the seller was probably eager to dump them. They have lots of problems with condensation, including shorting out. And now the goddamned Active Noise Cancellation keeps toggling itself on and off at random, and the button to do it manually mostly stopped working. #headphones #bluetooth
“Member-only story” “register to continue reading this article we clearly fetched completely only to cover it with a gradient and modal” No, fuck you, Medium.
Oh joy. Patreon is tormenting me by asking me to resubscribe to someone who felt the need to meddle in my relationship, listening to false accusations levied against us by an angry ex.
Cool, cool. Looks like VirusTotal fucked up their DNSSEC settings. Or Google fucked it up for them. Other DNS services than the one I use allow resolving the CNAME and the resulting A record because they don't validate DNSSEC. #dnssec #itwasdns #virustotal
Am I the asshole for telling someone it's their own fault they can't remember what their video browsing history is if they've decided to intentionally not participate in data collection by not using a Google account and browsing YouTube through incognito tabs?
If you don't participate in the system's data collection, you have to manually bookmark your videos, or add them to a local list. If you forget that, it's probably because you don't want to remember it later.
Cool, searching for Git SHA1 codes on Google now finds cars for sale from Sam Pack's Five Star Ford. Apparently, they bought all their inventory's license plate numbers as ad keywords. #googleads
Why is it that my broken head sees the solution to child support related jail time is to abstain from sex so you don't produce any children? Maybe we can get the global fertility rate closer to zero if we try hard enough. It feels so selfish that we desire to refresh the work force so we have a younger generation to take care of us when we're old.
Maybe that's just my mental health drugs that I am ever thankful for that almost completely murdered my entire sex drive, the very thing that was probably responsible for me going off the deep end in the first place. Hmm, I guess since it's well after 9:30pm and I'm thinking like this, it's time to take my meds again, and go to bed. Night, y'all.
We could use some help with bills this month, as we're running short again. We need about $50 USD. https://paypal.me/kode54 https://paypal.me/kddlb #mutualaid #mutualaidrequest
So. My dad has been living in an assisted care facility for months now, and can barely take care of himself. He needs constant care for things like changing his catheter and flushing it out regularly. When he was home before this, he would call an ambulance to take him to the hospital almost weekly for catheter issues.
Welp, his Medicare coverage for life is running out in 3 days. They want to either dump him on us to take care of, or eat up his entire income and put a lien on our house, because this place he's in costs $10k per month.
We already depend on this income to live in our house.
I guess it's time to look into moving out of the country to some place that will just give guaranteed care for life? #medicalbills #americasucks
Subtoot: I hear people wringing their hands about heat pumps and induction ranges again. Sure, subsidize our entire install procedure. Also replace all our cookware with induction cookware. And we'll give you some newly useless cast iron cookware.
I find it hilarious that the internal resource filename for Orbital Tumbling in Fall Guys, the Season 8 (overall) / Season "2" (reboot numbering) Race theme, is called "Cheap Ethics". #fallguys #fallguysgame
subtoot, politics
I am officially sticking my head in the sand. It's better for my outlook on reality this way. Seeing posts of doom and gloom just increases my desire to burn it all to the ground. But this is a post-9pm opinion, so feel free to discount it.
And my Signal username is kode54.87
Jesus, Google is absolutely useless. I can't find any pages whatsoever on the sudo config option, passwd_timeout. You know, the one that configures how long it will sit there with a password prompt on the screen before deciding, "timeout" and self terminating in failure. I had to find the post outlining its use on the Arch wiki for sudo, because of course, every post on Google about sudo timeout deals with the timestamp_timeout, or period before it will require a password again on invocation.
Setting the former to 0 in sudoers or a sudoers.d file will prevent it from self terminating if you, say, leave a terminal based update process running for hours and forget about it, only to notice it again later.
What could possibly go wrong with unfettered access to whatever drugs you could possibly desire, with no money changing hands, and no prescriptions required? I'm willing to live with the consequences of anarcho space communism.
