    Let’s talk about AI usage like adults please

    Unpossible. AI doesn’t bother me, it just bothers a shit ton of other people. It comes down to my own choice to use the software or not. I don’t need to disparage or denigrate a project that uses AI. I am a fully autonomous adult capable of making my own decisions. That said, it would be good for the devs of said projects just be upfront about it all. Trying to obscure that fact just makes things worse. Of course, it’s 2026 and it’s almost a forgone conclusion that devs have used AI in some form or fashion in their projects.

    It reminds me of back in the day when everyone wanted to get on the ‘creating websites for a living’ bandwagon. There were people going around boasting about how elite they were because they raw dogged the code in notepad. I guess some have the need to feel superior.











  • seems like a very effective way to get isps and mobile service providers to get their act together and start issue sing ipv6 to people.

    I don’t think DDOS’ing is going to make an ISP change the way they do business. DDOS’ing Google won’t make them capitulate either. I use IPV4 exclusively unless it’s LAN traffic. I also use the evil Cloudflare Tunnel/Zero Trust and I’ll have to say I’ve been impressed with their free tier. Of course, opinions vary in regards to Cloudflare.


  • When I’m at my PC, I’ll open it, hit the “Random” option under Albums and select something from the first page. This way I’m always surfacing things I would normally ignore and engaging more with my collection.

    Random is the only way I listen. BAM! First thing in the morning so music is with me all day. I do have structured playlists, my favorite being my Blues, Jazz, Soul, R&B, Funk playlist. When I purchase music, I usually buy the artist’s entire, official release catalog. Their top ten songs are cool and all, but I find more enjoyment listening to the B sides, and stuff that never made radio play, peppered with their top hits here and there. Those deep cuts to me are gold. I’ve been collecting for many, many decades now from Opera to Death Metal and anything in between. I even ran a fairly successful, licensed, internet radio station back in the late 90’s. To say I was a fan of music would be an understatement. It is my most expensive hobby.


  • Hey that’s pretty cool bro. I really dig these small form factor servers. If it weren’t for the fact that I’m already invested with what I have, I’d probably be doing one for myself. Thing is, now days, you don’t need big, honkin’, dim the lights, server equipment to produce a very viable, very capable, server environment. Rock on with yo’ bad self!
