I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.

I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.

Infected Mushroom. They have a sound unlike anything I’ve heard anywhere else. I recommend the album Army of Mushrooms to newcomers, but their entire collection is solid.

To add to this, the opposite of love is not hate, but ignore.

Giving your energy and attention to hating something typically means that they occupy enough mental real estate in your day to day life that you feel the need to broadcast it on a regular basis.

The liberals I know tend to spend the majority of their free time focusing on improving themselves and the world around them rather than simply target blame somewhere else.

I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.

I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.

I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

Baby Driver was the first movie I saw 3 times at the theater. Gets me hooked beginning to end.

I’m a simple man and enjoy the sheer size and simplicity of the sunflower. Plus a field of them is just gorgeous.

The problem is that these are incredibly unsafe. You’re putting about 5% of the part of the tire meant to keep the car in control on the pavement. I don’t want to be on the road with these morons because if they hit a pothole, who knows what direction they’re going to ping off.

As far as style, I’m with you, but these are massive safety compromises.

Yep! It’s actually required for circadian rhythm.

Ouiji was the worst offender of this. The first half of the movie, it’s got some of my favorite subtle directing in it, keeping you on your toes, then BAM. Halfway through they’re showing the creature in full view and it’s some generic black goo. Not scary at all. Would have been way better if the horror never showed its face.

Diane from Bojack was directly inspired. It’s far from the same, but they share a lot of similar themes in the later seasons.

This was recently updated for paid users. You can now browse the internet, upload files and images, and they’ve also unlocked APIs by giving it tokens. It’s getting closer to being fully multi-modal quite quickly.

Not that Apple’s pricing isn’t definitely over the top, but the RAM on a Raspberry Pi isn’t even in the same league as RAM in a MacBook Pro.

“Okay. We’re done. You can go home now…”

“A small microchip about the size of a postcard”

We have neutral evil at my work and it sometimes hurts my soul.

The concept of self is an illusion. There is no self.

I’ve been looking for something like this as well. I’ve not bought the hardware yet, but I’m planning to track down a “dumb” IP camera and use an RPi to host a DVR software. Anything that allows you to record to anything but a home server is a service I can’t trust. Right now, the problem seems to be tracking down the camera itself. There’s tons of ~$20 cameras I’m finding but it’s hard to tell which ones phone home to the internet and which ones are local only.

This would have been so useful for Eddy
