@gray @zero who needs WiFi 5 or 6 anyway not like it makes WiFi usable with anything larger than a shoebox apartment in Midtown Manhattan that somehow costs $3,000 a month

Fun fact of the day, the American Federal Railroad Administration is so understaffed and stretched thin if barely has an idea what is being transferred on the US's massive rail network. It could be people it could be a hazardous chemical, they only know when the railroad companies (that exist as little more than dividend checks for shareholders) tell them.
The next time your insane libertarian uncle tells you the government is spying on you know that they barely know what is on the rails that go through major population centres every day.

At least ULEZ popular among people who actually live in London just like congestion pricing is in NYC

Installed OpenWRT on my access points, it just works and it actually works better than the stock firmware, including supporting WPA2/3 and not having an annoying bug dropping connections sometimes.

The power of good FLOSS like OpenWRT is that it can be a viable alternative to whatever it's replacing which makes people actually want to use it

Seems like one of my VPS providers charged me the amount they requested but gave me credit off by a dollar and now they're trying to charge me an extra $5 for their mistake
I made a ticket almost a day ago but haven't heard back yet

Cool

Merry Christmas, there's an aeroplane up in the sky ​

@sneeden @waifu No, he's not, you are correct. But, the FSF is almost completely irrelevant and no matter what GNU cultists think worshipping Stallman won't break up Google or Microsoft, the only thing that can is the US Department of Justice.
Drew is just an idealist idiot like most people in the FLOSS world, he's basically completely harmless and his crashing out over stuff no one cares about can safely be ignored to let him rule over his petty fiefdom

My mirrored posts are popping off on Bluesky (one got one like once)

@gray I'm not sorry. Fedilab crashes about a third of the time I load my notifications

@sneeden @waifu there's no denying he had an influence and that should be remembered, the problem is his idealist world will never happen and saying it's not good until the world is completely free is unrealistic and is letting perfect be the enemy of the good

@yomiel @s8n @zero my brother in Christ you just compared the guy that helped write GCC among other things [not to be downplayed] with Jesus. I'm not even religious and that is insane.
If this isn't a cult I don't know what is

@zero my current GPU (a 2070 Super from EVGA [RIP]) is getting sent to the Plex mines

@zero 5070 Ti
If the 9070XT was cheaper I would have bought it but you cannot find it anywhere near its cheaper than Nvidia price

I'm also an idiot that just spent €800 on a new GPU (I budgeted it) so take everything I say with a mountain of salt

My hot take of the day is that urbanists are right about almost everything but are really obnoxious which makes people want to side against better planning

I personally don't like suburban sprawl and exclusive single family homes but if you have that choice and go with it, cool that's your problem people should be able to decide

trying to piss off a lot of people today (but it's my genuine unfiltered opinions)

Monday left me broken

Who needs a vibrator when all you need to do is make a post making fun of GNU and your phone does all the rest

@PurpCat @RustyCrab @arcana @nemesis @phnt @Suiseiseki @waifu @mischievoustomato most of them are hardcore gatekeepers that don't want to see "normies" anywhere near their precious hobby that no one cares about and see any normal using their special software as an idiot

The American mind has been brainrotted by libertarian thinking that they think unions are somehow against labour, they could not be more wrong
