How do you host your blog?
  • I haven't updated in a bit, but I host on neocities right now and use jekyll to generate the static blog.

    Although I have a web host now that I might transfer it over to. I also want to move my jekyll setup to my vps so I can write and upload new blog posts from my phone without having to remote into my home pc.

  • I'm really getting over the enshitification of the internet.
  • Yea, the creation of sites like neocities is such a fun return to oldweb and the joys of relearning html and creating a static site. And tools like Jekyll for generating and maintaining your own blog are great

  • The fact that he was a major plot point for the RedShirts book is one of my favorite things about that book. (Or rather, his "legally different because of copyright" Irish equivalent)

  • "You should migrate to Linux"
  • You will get there(although I haven't heard great things about Fedora gaming). I made the switch November 2021 and I haven't booted back into windows in about 9 months. I ended up picked EndeavourOS cause I wanted something Arch based to be as close to Steam Deck packages as possible(and I already prefer KDE Plasma, so picked that as well).

    I still have my hiccups. I still can't get SteamVR to work at all. I spent about 45 minutes yesterday troubleshooting why Outward stopped working, when all the protondb reviews say "it just works". I did eventually get it working from a random suggestion from the arch forums to add PROTON_NO_FSYNC=1 %command% to the steam launch commands and that fixed it. If I had to guess I think it's something to do with my 1070Ti not playing nicely with the latest nvidia drivers. Also Epic made some sort of stupid update to FallGuys and I can no longer get it working for more one initial run per install. So that's frustrating.

    But I also love how much I know my system now. I love being able to update everything from one or two commands. I love pipewire for doing music recording stuff.(I fought for years on windows to try and cobble together something similar). I love having bash macros to easily download embedded videos and do quick ffmpeg conversions. Really, it definitely comes down to how I feel much more connected to this system than I ever did to a windows install.

  • Do you still write notes with pen and paper?
  • I do both. I use Obsidian to maintain lots of notes and links and such. But I also carry a fountain pen and a notebook in my pocket. I find when I write stuff down in there I tend to remember it more. I also carry an A5 notebook at work to take down work notes and track my todo's. More productive, looks better in meetings, and I'm less likely to get distracted by notifications or the draw of apps/social-media.

    Lots of times I'll do a drawing of dimensions or an idea, then I'll take a picture of that and throw it in Obsidian later. Also if it's a note that I want to keep later I'll transcribe it into my digital notes.

    I just enjoy the act of writing and getting to own a pen that I won't just lose or loan away. I'll also pick up old notebooks sometimes and be reminded of things I wanted to do or ideas I had that got missed, and the reminder is way more tangible and impacting that being reminded by found digital notes. It comes with the tactile memories as well.

  • Is it just my parents, or do most Boomers view saying "please" and "thank you" as an afterthought?
  • automatic response, same as when someone says "how's it going" to a cashier, and the person responds "good". this interaction rarely means anything other than formality. The person asking doesn't usually want to know, and the person responding doesn't usually want to tell

  • What is your opinion on men that make use of sex worker services?
  • I chose engineering, and when I started I loved it, but eventually I ended up working in places I didn't like, on jobs that made me feel dirty, but now I don't know any other way to maintain the lifestyle I'm accustomed to.
