The jokes keep on writing themselves. Man, the onion must really be having a tough time right now.
Lemmy feels very gen z ish though.
I’ve grown to hate these routers. They only seem useful if you live in an apartment and place them in the middle and your walls are made of paper. Bought a few through the years thinking more money = better wifi, but wall construction and placement have much more impact. Living in a brick house, they’re pretty shit. I’ve switched to non gamified wifi AP’s connected to ethernet and the wifi’s been great. Still prioritize wired wherever possible though.


Because I have a screw loose and no one else will talk to me. Now stop asking.


No. Financially, I’m in a good spot right now.
Most other aspects of my life, I’m struggling hard.
That’s around 1700€, about the average monthly net wage here.
Its a livable wage for a single person, nothing spectacular, should have something left over after everything is payed. For a household of two earning that, its a bit more comfortable.

So I don’t just wake up as Kane, but as him as we’re landing on Stroggos and have to go through that whole ordeal haha. Kinda fucked then. I also wonder how I’ll be able to find love looking like that.
Quake 4, so I’m Corporal Matthew Kane. Hopefully, post stroggification? Half human, half machine.


If you’re in the position to do so: try getting a job as a software developer for a year before going to college. If you’re able to demonstrate you’ve already worked on your own projects, you will be taken more seriously than cs majors fresh out of college who’ve only seen code in home work assignments. Do this to get to see how software development works as a career and see if you fit in it.
You don’t generally need a degree to be a programmer and in this field, experience is often more valuable than a degree. What college can offer is connections and the opportunity to find your actual calling.


Won’t generate much electricity, but for fun, you could just direct mount a bike dynamo on to it and connect to a simple led. You could probably get it to work if you oil it up well. Can also buy a battery management board and connect to a battery so the light can work when there’s no wind!
Alternatively, bore a hole down to the aquifer and let it pump water slowly with mechanical power. That would cost more though.
I’m actually considering going back to doing this… just with blurays.
My data hoarding illness is getting out of hand and m-disks are starting to look attractive to me.
Oh… a random bookmark folder in my browser…

Alternate take: how my current PC looks at me.


I play both of these and loved em. I also poured 50 hours into beating cuphead. Difficulty isn’t a problem if the depth of the game is a pool instead of a sea.
From dust we came to dust we return.
All things are as they should be.
Mmm yeah, pump it full of cream.
