  • They had a tree line right there! Practically suicide.

  • A Magic autograph
  • Interesting that they decided to make him Orzhov. He's probably as mono-black as they come. What is white about him?

  • IGNIS! (ToastyGhosteyArt)

  • How much firmware is initializing???
  • When you make a potentially system breaking change and forgot to make a snapshot of the VM beforehand...

  • Potion Effect Rule
  • Did anyone else just buy all the ingredients from the potion shop, make a million health potions, and then sell it back at a profit?

    You could break Oblivion very easily.

  • Also "Hero" movies
  • District 9 literally calls this out in the first five minutes.

  • A very old furry rule
  • Holy shit! Now this is a buried memory!

    So much weird porn games on Newgrounds back in the day. Does anyone remember the Little Red Riding Hood one?

  • What's your favorite reaction image(s)?
  • I always felt that high-res Surprised Pikachu kinda ruins it. It's funnier when it's all fuzzy and jpg-y.

    Could anyone spare an invite? I'll edit my post if I'm in.

  • NERV had a branch in Nevada that was destroyed when Unit 04 was activated. I wonder if Las Vegas was destroyed in the process.

  • Toyota Mirai Turned Into Hydrogen Bomb By Ukrainian Forces Explodes With The Force Of 400 Pounds Of TNT
  • Finally a use for the Mirai. God knows it wasn't much of a vehicle.

  • hmmm
  • He'd be much cooler if it was Kagami instead of Konata.

  • Guitar Jam ideas for beginner-intermediate players?
  • Here is a neat thing to try next time you play. You mentioned you played mostly blues? Try playing around the chord that is being played at the moment. So for twelve-bar blues in E, play minor pentatonic in E, then A, then E, then B, then A. It will sound weird at first because you are still learning but eventually you can make it sound natural.

    Blues tends to fudge over major and minor so the major pentatonic would also work well here; move your minor pentatonic shape down one and a half steps. Switch between major and minor on your whim. Add in chromatic "out" notes when moving between chords. Slide into notes from a half-step below or above instead of starting there.

  • JD Vance says he was asked in front of his wife if he had 'any secret family' during vice presidential vetting
  • His secret Canadian family...

    ...his even more secret attic family.

  • TIL the US Department of Defense maintained their own Linux LiveCD distro until 2021
  • It was kinda bad.

    It's a lot better now, but getting to military web sites, especially OWA, has always been a pain in the ass on personal computers. I tried this out trying to avoid using my main computer for work stuff and it just didn't work that well.

    I don't think anyone was really using it that much which is probably why it isn't maintained.

  • Texts from Dad
  • Kiss him deep with tongue!

  • What is something you want to use, yet are NOT using?
  • Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi's that I'm going to set up a cluster with. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won't and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.

    It's completely overkill for a small home lab but that's what makes it fun.

  • Finally joined the "work was throwing it out" club

    KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.

    If you have spare computing power, consider donating some of that to a distributed computing project
    boinc.berkeley.edu Compute for Science

    BOINC is an open-source software platform for computing using volunteered resources

    Berkeley has this really cool program called BOINC that you can download and donate your computer's resources to processing scientific data. There are a bunch of projects to pick, from working on climate change, to cancer, to the Large Hadron Collider.

    The good folks at linuxserver.io even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc

    Another possibility is running the Archive Team's Warrior, which downloads data from at risk web sites and uploads them to the Internet Archive: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior

    Does anyone else have examples of projects like this? My dream is for the Fediverse to have this sort of feature eventually.
