I like having a TV antenna because it makes sure I can't be advertised to directly. Sure there are commercials, but nothing is being sold to me based on an advertising profile. Actually, the networks don't know that girls like star trek so literally nothing is being advertised to me. #OnAir #antenna #freetv #startrek #prejudiceinadvertising

Where to even start?

So I found the phone I was looking for, funny how as soon as I complain online it remembers it's supposed to exist and re-enters the physical plane. It was in a crate with some old documents, idk how it got there. I'd like to build a custom OS for it, specifically I wanna build...

Today I convinced a room of people to illegally copy their DVDs and Blu-Rays

I'm pretty passionate about data preservation. Now, I wanna be clear. I'm NOT a pirate. I never download anything from illegal torrent sites. I like to make sure I have backups of my DVDs and Blu-Rays, mostly because I've been affected by disc rot before. It's becoming increasingly relevant though. With the Sony thing a...

I’ve been looking for my smartphone for 5 months

It's in my apartment... somewhere. Because if it isn't I have to accept that the simplest other solution is that my friend stole it when we were jamming. I don't think he'd do that, just doesn't seem like him. I don't miss the phone. I've been using a Sunbeam F1 Horizon Wren. It meets every...

Calling all Minecraft admins!

So like, why does my server reset itself with a new seed every time I reboot my server? That's kinda horseshit. What's the point of using a systemd service to start my server if it wipes out my world every time? I'm sick of losing progress every time I have to power down my machine....

Yesterday was a really good day :)

I went to my local LGS to play some commander with a classmate. I enjoyed myself. I did overestimate his level of newness to the game, so I'm glad he brought a more skilled friend so I didn't embarrass myself by completely wiping the floor with him. I remember back in 2015 when I was...

Been Cleaning up my security

Feels good to run nmap from inside the network and still get over 60K blocked connections in portmaster. The network may not be perfect but at least the machines on it are locked down. Now I just gotta monitor for intrusions and watch for that rootkit I had. Also speaking of, I apologize profusely to...

Sometimes we say things we regret

Sometimes we say them online. I had the luxury of owning my data and the things I posted until I decided to make my blog subscribable. There is at least some evidence somewhere of the things I've posted over the last couple days. I subscribe to my own RSS for diagnostics for example, and the...
