What a day to be able to read.

Puff puff pass and shut the fuck up.

Look at my horse, my horse is amazing.

No, that’s how it feels to have a pi-hole with expansive blocklists and a wireguard VPN so I can access the pi-hole ad blocking from my phone wherever I am. I never see ads, even on my phone. uBlock and other browser based adblockers are great for computers, they’re less effective for phones whereas network adblocking like Pi-holes are super effective on phones.

Oh and also not having the gambling gene.

Dating a woman with inverted nipples is like having biological endless bubble wrap. Stimulate them and they pop out.

The power of Christ compels you!

Why not both?

Where do all the lovely self-hosters here turn when they want to chat networking or server hardware?

I know this might seem like a strange answer, but… IRC channels on private torrent trackers. Many of the people on these sites actively have large and complex setups running. There often is a lot of talk about hardware for servers and networking in those IRC channels. Or at least there is on the trackers I am on.

I know that’s not necessarily a helpful answer to anyone not already in the private torrent tracker community, since its often quite a task to get involved if you aren’t already. However, it’s one that I have had great success with, personally. To anyone who already is on a private torrent tracker, if you haven’t checked out the IRC, give it a shot and see.

Oh and don’t forget you can self-host The Lounge for a self-hosted web-based IRC client.

Wouldn’t that just be an array?

Democrats have always been a center-right party.

I’m sick of hearing this. Hillary Clinton was roundly disliked by a lot of people, not just conservatives. Remember when she tried to ban GTA San Andreas over the Hot Coffee mod? She literally went out of her way to center Trump in the media and used her media connections to promote Trump and Cruz as whackadoos, unintentionally giving Trump more media coverage. She thought for sure she was gonna be running against Jeb Bush in the general, which put a lot of people off who didn’t want another Bush or Clinton in the White House. She was rude to her constituents. She told a young black woman who had spend $1000 to be able to meet with Mrs. Clinton that she should stop complaining and run for office herself. Why are we going to continue to ignore a historically unpopular choice as a candidate and someone who doubled down on her worst takes, like being proud of her friendship with war criminal and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. Maybe it’s not women as much as that specific woman.

Harris was a better candidate, but because Biden wouldn’t step away we didn’t get a primary, and that left a lot of voters feeling very much like we’ve had candidates forced down our throat by the DNC that weren’t really chosen by the people for 10 fucking years running. Why can’t we consider that maybe treating your voters like shit and constantly swinging to try to capture Republican voters instead of, you know, getting their own voters excited just isn’t that big of a draw. For real, bringing out Dick “Darth Vader” war criminal Cheney was fucking idiotic because the shit him and GW Bush pulled helped set the stage for Trump. I think this attitude that “America won’t vote for a woman” is a poor and honestly sexist misreading of the political climate.

People didn’t want a political dynasty with Clinton, just like they didn’t want another Bush (Jeb) who happened to be a man in the same election. Americans generally are against political dynasties because Americans are generally fickle and want to be able to kick out the last bastard. The conservatives for whatever reason are just too fuck stupid to see that Trump is breaking every system that allows them to do so.

Anyway, bottom line. I don’t believe that America won’t elect a woman. I firmly believe that if AOC actually ran on the platforms she actually cares about that she would walk all over the competition. I believe our last two women candidates were wrong place, wrong time, wrong situation and that this idea is the wrong conclusion to take from the outcomes.

So I guess you’re the Mr. Bulldops I’ve heard so much about.

Satya Nadella: “Whether the users like it or not, I’m going to protect them.”

The way macOS handles it is literally just exactly how Linux handles it. Makes sense considering macOS is certified UNIX and Linux is technically a re-implementation of UNIX.

This meme is conflating iOS and macOS as the same thing, which they certainly are not.

Now hear me out…

Also bandcamp gives you high quality DRM FLAC files (or really whatever audio filetype you want) and those files are yours to keep, forever. You can also stream stuff you’ve bought through the bandcamp website. They also still do bandcamp fridays where 100% of the sale goes to the artist. Next bandcamp friday is May 1st.

Another option is direct-from-artist sales if they have their own website and store. Do vinyls still come with codes for an mp3 copy? I remember my vinyl for The Mean Jeans - Are You Serious? had a code and a link to download an mp3 copy of the album.

I got into music piracy back in the day because it used to be that record companies paid artists badly so I spent money on concerts and merch, now Spotify pays artists badly for the record companies. Anyway, if used at all piracy is best used to find artists you really love and then spend your money on legitimately purchasing their music.

I got 99 leches but some bitch ate one
