Of all the weird things people base YouTube channels on I would not expect someone to make one about the WTC on September 11, 2001

Just pocketed a crisp $32 on betting correctly that the US GDP shrank in the first quarter [not April as I previously said] I'm rich

Update on Hostslick: my card is already filing a chargeback to them so I think that means they're siding with me
Thanks for something for once, Visa.

If anyone has any good recommendations for a cheap-ish (less than €
$10/mo for 2 cores and 2-4 GB RAM) provider that has servers in the EU please share thank you

The VPS provider Hostslick decided that after 3 days of me attempting to reach out for support after them accidentally not crediting me the correct amount for their service decided to ignore every single support email and ticket I made and terminated my server with them. I have filed a chargeback with my provider and gave them all the receipts I have.
Apart from the Bluesky PDS disbursement.center, everything else I lost was either backed up or not worth needing to be recovered.

I was a Hostslick customer since 2023. I heavily discourage anyone from using their services.

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.

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 ​

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

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

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

No one cares about GNU because Richard Stallman, while important, is acomplete fucking weirdo cult leader and absolutism about "free software" drives most normal people who just want stuff that works and isn't actively getting worse and/or getting AI crammed into it by force.
