Finishing Ultima IV on my C64. Yep I’m old.

A homelab is never finished.

Actually, I don’t think I’ve ever even come close to being scammed on Craigslist… knock on wood.

Ok I’ll ask. I’ve been doing containers for a while now. My day job is in virtualization/networking/storage so this shouldn’t be that hard. But I just can’t get my head around kubernetes. Between work and home I have enough hardware to choke a robotic horse so that shouldn’t be a problem. Are there any good resources to get me started?

Whew… I was thinking it may have been a requirement now.

Finally… eBay went to shit years ago with scams and Craigslist is a shell of what it once was. Not to mention I cancelled Facebook years ago because … well because Fuck Zuck.

Or when they didn’t have zero day patches because it was a cartridge.

Well the domain helps with that for sure, especially for things like let’s encrypt. But my other stuff is running through Tailscale/headscale so https isn’t really necessary.

I imagine that Epstein catered to lots of people’s fantasies. Trump is totally a pedo. But as much as I despise Muskito, I really don’t get that vibe from him. Young maybe … like late teens, early 20s… disgusting, creepy, … sure, but I just don’t get the pedo thing. This is just my opinion.

But here’s the thing, if he was there on that island and had reasonable suspicion that these girls were underage and knew what was going on and still did nothing. He’s just as guilty.

I have one that I use for services that other people need to get to. Otherwise I just remember the IP.

Ok I’m arguing for containers/VMs and granted I do this for a living… I’m a systems architect so I build VMs and containers pretty much all the time time at work… but having just one sorta beefy box at home that I can run lots of different things is the way to go. Plus I like to tinker with things so when I screw something up, I can get back to a known state so much easier.

Just having all these things sandboxed makes it SO much easier.

I really thought the same thing. But it truly is super easy. At least just the containers like docker. Not kubernetes, that shit is hard to wrap your head around.

Plus if you screw up one service and mess everything up, you don’t have to rebuild your whole machine.

So….? They did?

Well we know it wasn’t Russia since no windows were involved.

Not sure if this is related or not but on Linux when I have a machine on the same subnet as an advertised route that I have connected to Tailscale, I can’t access the local subnet at all. On Mac’s it’s fine, only Linux. I had to hunt down this little trick:

ip ro del table 52 <subnet>

There are other ways to solve it but I added this to the service that starts Tailscale.

How dare you have a reasonable response when we all just wanna be pissed. /s

But seriously some people should just not interact with the public. It’s a thankless job and you have to have very thick skin and the patience of a saint. I also have a theory that a large percentage of CEOs are sociopaths/psychopaths so …

The USPTO is notorious for granting insane patents knowing they are invalid or too vague and expect the court system to be the final arbiter. It’s almost as if they like stirring shit up for there own amusement.

You don’t need AI for that….

#!/usr/bin/env python3

def main():
    try:
        _ = input("Enter reasoning for claim: ")  # read but ignore the input
        print("denied")                # always respond "denied"
    except (EOFError, KeyboardInterrupt):
        # Even if input is interrupted, still respond "denied"
        print("denied")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

I don’t even like Hollow Knight that much but I’ll buy it because it’s $20.

I’ve never understood the reason for WSL. If you want Linux, run Linux. At the very least in a VM.

Start with docker. Any OS will do. Most Linux distros are better but I run docker on Mac, Linux, Windows (not a lot in windows since I despise Microsoft but it does work).

The great thing about docker is it is very portable, modular, and easy to get back to a known state. Say you screw something up, just revert and start over. It’s also very easy to understand in my opinion. It’s like all the benefits of virtualization with much less over head.
