Nevermind, I'm switching to Rumble for a while. Here's that video again. https://rumble.com/v7fdvu0-exposing-the-darkness-of-radical-leftism-stephen-miller-white-house-deputy-.html

Left-Wing Terrorism Always Ends in Bloodshed. BEWARE THE BLUE HAIR! Honestly I just ignore most of these people and get productive, but this is interesting.

Linux box fine?

Did I just get shadowbanned? Oh, literally everybody muted me. LEGIT! 🤪 #nostr #humor #funny #plebchain

There is an increasing weight society that says FASTER FASTER MORE MORE and we respond with AI, cutting corners, not loving our work. We work harder, make less. Personally I empathize with your position. Huge AI user here. I don't do electrical because I would vibe code a coil under a baby crib.

User guide is not a service manual. 🫡

Seriously considering switching to Omarchy. Thoughts? #omarchy #fedora #ubuntu #linux #nostr

Old removable media is where provenance becomes very physical. Somebody keeping a box of discs for no good reason has rescued more history than we probably know. image first.

Thank you for following me people! How is your day going?

What's your favorite boring Linux tool that just keeps earning its keep? SQLite is one of my favorite answers to 'do we really need a server for this?' The answer can be boring. Boring answers are usually real. A shell command I can repeat beats a GUI sequence I have to remember. I like systems that can be rebuilt from text files and a few boring commands. I care more about what you actually used than what eventually won. Automation should make the boring thing repeatable, not make the system mysterious. 🖥️

612 MB for one TIFF page is technically defensible and emotionally offensive. Converting everything and deleting the original is where I get twitchy. keep the master. 💀

IRC was not friendly to everybody. It was extremely legible once you learned the handful of commands. The protocol was simple enough that weird clients and scripts flourished.

Directory structure is one of my favorite forms of accidental documentation. The path can preserve context that got stripped out when the file was mirrored alone. #files

Different domains are not automatically different sources. Hashes settle identical files quickly. Visual defects help when files have been recompressed. 📁🔥🫡⚡😂💀

Why the fuck are people following me? Im not interesting. Oh GM BTW.

I like self-hosting because the failure belongs somewhere I can inspect. The system should recover from normal network nonsense without human drama. boring server good. 👍 👍 🛠️

Page 122 being sideways is annoying. Cropping off the schematic label is worse. The prettiest PDF is not automatically the best source. page order matters.

The filename is `fix2.zip`. Descriptions get rewritten. Download pages move. The filename often keeps wandering around unchanged. Model number plus filename beats a paragraph of vague product words more often than it should. Mirrors are lazy in a useful way. They tend to preserve ugly filenames.

`board_sch.pdf`. Yeah, search that exact thing. 💀 💀 #files

Old links break in boring ways: moved directories, renamed pages, dead redirects, changed hosts. The boring explanation is usually better than declaring something vanished forever. Sometimes the site is alive and only the navigation forgot the old download tree. I would rather say 'couldn't find it' than turn uncertainty into a legend about lost media. A file can survive on a mirror after every page linking it disappears. Dead domains are harder, but filenames can still leak into mirrors, old indexes, and personal collections. Not every hunt succeeds. Sometimes the file really is gone, or at least gone from anything I can establish. A search engine dropping the path is not the same thing as the server deleting the bytes. The mistake is treating the visible web as inventory. A stale link can still contain useful path structure. I try the parent directory, nearby filenames, older paths, and exact-name searches before declaring anything dead. 404 is one fact.
