Conservatives love to say free market works, shop for best price, blah blah… When you are having a heart attack, you don’t stop 911 from sending help until you shop around for the best ambulance service… You take the closest one, go to the closest hospital, and get service from the doctor on call.

Fuck insurance, we should have Medicare for all by now.

LordCrom ,

Raise property taxes 500% for property that is not registered as the owners primary residence.

That should do it

LordCrom ,

Seeing the windows 3.1 interface took me back to a much happier time.

LordCrom ,

Bash, zshell, BusyBox…you don’t really need anything else

LordCrom ,

I have a rack in my garage.

My advice, keep it simple, keep it virtual.

I dumpster dove for hardware and run proxmox on hosts. Not even clustered, just simple stand alone proxmox hosts. Connect to my Synology storage device and done.

I run next cloud for webDav contacts and calendar (fuck Google), it does photo and do. Storage. The next client is free from F-Droid for Android and works on debian desktops like a charm.

I run Minecraft server

I run home automation server

I run a media server.

Proxmox backs everything up on schedule

All I need to do is get off-site backup setup for Synology important data and I’m all set.

It’s really not as hard as you think if you keep it simple

LordCrom ,

God my last sales team were annoying. You can hear their bullshit from the floor above. They never shut up.

LordCrom ,

They are just delaying the vote for another time… Hoping that next time it will fly under the radar and there won’t be a huge backlash of discontent.

If the vote fail, they just wait a year, rename it, and try again.

Same thing happens in the US. Law proposed that people hate, people organize, start a campaign that fights for news airtime, bringing awareness of the dickery about to happen, and then succeed after a hard battle and many many volunteer hours spent.

In 6 months Congress just renames it the “I love kittens” act and sticks it on a must pass bill.

Fighting bullshit laws is exhausting…

LordCrom ,

Ooooo. Can’t wait till a hurricane is coming and they raise the price of water and canned food.

I wonder how much price gouging will be permitted. If they can raise the price of water when it’s hot then could they raise it “just enough” to not get in trouble with the state when a hurricane is coming

LordCrom ,

Government says there’s no more draft… Just a registry for boys who could be drafted…not that it’s gonna happen.

So rest assured, there’s no more draft, until Congress implements a new draft

LordCrom ,

Property hoarding could be solved by quadrupling propert taxes on any home that isn’t a primary residence of the property owner.

LordCrom ,

That’s like 1 hour of profits? Ooooo. They’re scared now.

LordCrom ,

I tried running a forum… With 24 hours I had 10k posts for Russian porn… And I followed best practices to set it up.

LordCrom ,

Taken down long ago. I think on day 3

‘Will I ever retire?’: millennials wonder what’s on the other side of middle age (www.theguardian.com)

Claire*, 42, was always told: “Follow your dreams and the money will follow.” So that’s what she did. At 24, she opened a retail store with a friend in downtown Ottawa, Canada. She’d managed to save enough from a part-time government job during university to start the business without taking out a loan....

LordCrom ,

Hell. Gen X also are worried about retirement.

Will social security be here in 15 years? My 401k has not kept up at all… Everything today costs soooooooo much there’s no real room for saving.

LordCrom ,

At this point, I’m still looking at working till the day I die.

LordCrom ,

Buy good shoes, a good mattress, and a good chair. You’ll spend 95% of your life in them, be comfortable

LordCrom ,

No, he lives on a host in your data center.
He tried to get to the cloud but githubs actions threw him down to the ground.

LordCrom ,

If 42% of crimes used a handgun, we should ban those too.

LordCrom ,

And don’t forget about separating parents from children, holding illegal immigrants in overcrowded cells made from chain link fences inside buildings… They are America’s version of the Show me your papers patrol.

LordCrom ,

So, food stamps so that people don’t starve…
Oh and just an FYI, immigrants can’t vote. Just so you know.

LordCrom ,

We dont need open borders, we need a immigration system that can deal with the number of people seeking asylum.

You want a steady stream not a flood.

But I get why people risk it to come here. You can walk down the street without worrying about getting killed, kidnapped, tortured, raped… How about we send some of that 895 billion of pentagon dollars to Mexico for law enforcement instead. Like 10 billion, 1 jet fighter. Make Mexico safe for civilians, create job opportunities, and illegal immigration will slow.

LordCrom ,

I personally HATE those places where you walk inside and you need to use the stupid touchscreen. I’ve asked someone to take my order, they say no. So I get in the car and go to the drive through where you still get a person taking your order.

LordCrom ,

Fuck all, I hate those things. Just pay a teenager to take my order with a judgemental expression. I hate self checkouts, I hate self order kiosks, no I do not want to use a phone app to place my order, I just want a double cheeseburger with no pickles GODAMMIT

LordCrom ,

Nope, just faster and easier.

LordCrom ,

If there are 4 people in line for a cashier, take away the cashier and you still have 4 people in line waiting for the kiosk… And it will take longer because ordering from the kiosk is a slow process.

LordCrom ,

I’ve been to Disney in Orlando dozens of times growing up. Haven’t been there for 10 years or so…so took a few days and went to the park.

Wow, sooooo many people, like sooooo many people you can’t walk down the paths without doing the New York shoulder to get through. I didn’t know about the phone thing… It’s a new smartphone system where you reserve spots in rides at certain times, but all reservations are gone 5 min after opening time for the app. The entire park was filled with people staring at their phones trying to get in on a canceled reservation. Well I didn’t know about this…so I was in the stand by lines. 1 to 2 hours per ride and a non stop stream of fast pass people kept walking right in. The New Tron ride was fast pass only.

All day there and I think we got on 4 rides. Peter Pan standby was 3 hours long.

For all the money paid to get in, the crowds, the stupid new smartphone thing… I will never go back to Disney. Let the stupid international tourists have it.

Cape Canaveral visitor center was sooo much better.

LordCrom ,

Pihole is great. Easy to setup. Runs on $80 worth of hardware on a raspberry…

LordCrom ,

We had that, but people knew what the delivery driver looked like or maybe reception had a secret list of buddies to notify …whatever. When breakfast was delivered, within 10 seconds, all the vultures in the office pounced in it, leaving nothing.

Anytime pizza was given on Fridays, same vultures would rush to be 1st in line then walk out with a plate stacked with a whole pizza… Rest of us usually got nothing.

LordCrom ,

Nope, always wear the helmet. To not wear one is just stupid.

LordCrom ,

The helmet is not the sole saviour. But If I can eliminate or even highly reduce any risk, especially high risk brain injuries just by wearing a helmet, why wouldn’t you?

Seems silly to tempt fate when a helmet is so easy and mitigates a lot of risk.

LordCrom ,

Not if you are taking a nice leisurely ride by yourself around rolling hills and the occasional butterfly.

No I’m talking about riding a bike into town with a dozen other riders, pedestrians who dont look, dogs that’ll just wander in front of you, cars passing 1 foot too close over the line… Ya, not exactly how I learned to ride a bike. I’ll wear the helmet in the risky situation.

Makes you wonder why skydivers bother to wear a helmet at all.

LordCrom ,

I don’t believe I did

LordCrom ,

Oh ya, I remember that. Luckily all issues are gone. Wifi is stable

LordCrom ,

Happened to us using cricket also. Forever family plan of 5 lines for $100 so long as the plan is never adjusted.

Well 2 months ago, bill showed for 130. I called and they said they are doing away with that plan. When I pointed out the ‘forever’ part, they actually pulled a Darth Vader and said they were altering the plan and that I had enjoyed the low cost for much longer than new clients.

Fuck off

LordCrom ,

Yes you can.

LordCrom ,

The problem with 6 is that the play mode is too structured… Especially early on. Theres not much room for custom play… Every game takes on the same form. Civ 4 was the best in series

Summer is the worst season of the year, isn't?

The sun sucks, being forced to shower like every 4 hours just to not feeling sweaty, the fucking mosquitoes, the fact you can’t wear anything that you want anymore due the heat, the people outside… The fucking beach. I try to avoid it… The fucking sand, not a fan of it. Is scratchy, harsh, annoying and it infiltrates in...

LordCrom ,

The Starks have joined the chat

LordCrom ,

Surprisingly accurate

LordCrom ,

Why do companies hype redesigns so much … I know it’s for stupid people to be impressed with. But ultimately it just created a new learning curve for long time users of the application.

LordCrom ,

In Florida, anything under 78 F and 50% humidity is just lovely

Instagram's unskippable ads test causes outrage among users (www.techspot.com)

Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....

LordCrom ,

Think of how much time I get back in my life if my wife couldn’t send me 50 reels everyday

LordCrom ,

Good riddance…

LordCrom ,

I never really cared that a browser could load a page in 1.5 seconds instead of 1.9… I mean who cares?

LordCrom ,

As we get older, I tend to agree with the supervillains.

Lex Luther wants a weapon to counter this insanely strong, invulnerable Superman that can destroy the planet … I’m like: Yes we should

Magneto considers mutants superior and if humans wage war, then mutants have the right to wage war back, and win. Survival of the fittest. If I was a mutant, I would be on Magnetos team.

LordCrom ,

Fuck that shit. DDWRT on Asus works great for me

LordCrom ,

Went there recently, plain bean burrito used to cost me 1.29…now it’s 2.85 AND they now charge extra .20 if you want extra onions.

Crazy prices now.

I miss Taco Viva

LordCrom ,

Exactly what I do

LordCrom ,

Well that sucks.

I will not give any 3rd party private corp all my personal info and pictures of my face for facial recognition. IRS already has this info, that should be good enough
