I’ve wondered a bit about taking the head unit from my jeep and playing with the data it receives, like telling it I’m going 3MPH all night long, or telling it I’m going 600MPH. Ultimately though I’m just going to get rid of it and get something older.
As a 40-something dude, I need a new backpack. Its got holes in it near the zippers and has seen about a decade of daily use. Backpacks are awesome.
Edit: current one is a Targus, any suggestions?
Growing up in the late 80s we had lots of crazy pets, I was about 5 or 6 when we adopted a timber wolf (Eastern Wolf) and I named it Babe. I remember it was a baby when we got it (I think it was rescued after a wildfire) and about two years later we had to reintroduce it to the wild. It wasn’t because it tried to hurt us or anything but it was starting to do things like stopping our oldest dog from eating and I think there were complaints from our neighbors (we lived in Gulfport Florida so that stuff happened a lot but could have played into it).
I think back every now and then and remember his coat, it was so thick and soft while still feeling kinda stiff, he slept in the bed with me and we were pretty much inseparable.
An actual gun has a major ammo cost associated, which is why I rarely gonto the range. 500 shots for one chambered in .22 is about 11 bucks, I get .22 is probably the cheapest plinking ammo out there but a bucket of 1,400 rounds is going to cost $100 plus range time.
I was wondering how far down I would have to scroll for someone to mention that one… That one was pretty damn rough to watch.
Also if you can’t go to a range, don’t forget PCP (Pre-Charged Pneumatic) rifles exist. They are a lot quieter than a typical firearm and where I live you can shoot air rifles within city limits as long as the pellets don’t leave your property.
Going with .22, .25, or .40 cal and you can practice your aim and shooting habits on the daily (pellets and air are a lot cheaper than pellets and powder in a cartridge). Plus then you can play with things like moderators (silencers), full auto… Even automated turrets if you are that kind of crazy (don’t be).
They go all the way up to around .72 cal if I’m up to date but unless you are planning to stop a truck you’ll get a lot more fun from something like the Air Venturi Avenger (or the AvengeX line so you can swap calibers); just consider getting an electric pump, I used a manual one for a few months but pumping 3,000 psi manually sucks.
Firmly Gen Y here and I use it all the damn time, but I blame that on computers not showing up until I was an awkward teen in high school and needed a neutral way to respond where people wouldn’t think I was AFK. We didn’t have ways to react to messages so lol and every varient (up to and including the roflcopter, lol) became our way to fill the silence. We were a generation that developed a way to communicate that you found annoying… just like every other generation, GenX gave us “Whatever” as the exclamation of frustrated, GenZ gave us stuff like “drip” for great fashion taste… GenY had a 9 key layout to type as we entered the workforce so we tried to keep it short.
I was too lazy and immich-go may not have existed when I migrated but I just selected and downloaded my pictures from Google Photos then just uploaded them to Immich and they seemed to keep all their metadata.
I recently realized I’m not affected by it either, for nearly 40 years I just thought I was great at identifying it and just careful. My wife got into it a few years back and it was horrible for her (big welts and oozing stuff, pretty gross), when she went to the doctor they were like, “Yep, that’s poison ivy, here is some cream and a shot, be more careful”; so I went out and cleared all of it I could find and learned how to properly identify it.
I still try to wear gloves because I’ve heard that you can eventually start having a reaction but I have debated the idea of using an aerosolized form of the oil as an emergency oh shit button if an unidentified masked person tries to pull me out my car.
Those leaves remind me of stinging nettles… I’m sure Gympie-Gympie is worse, but my first time being stung by nettles scared the shit out of me as they got me clear through my jeans.
Before my life shifted more into integrations I was a fan of running:
systeminfo | find "System Boot"
I wasn’t out to call anyone out, but sometimes users honestly believed they had rebooted and I would find of the the day’s lucky 10k. It also helped to figure out which users would just blankly say they’ve done everything.
I have to have it as well… Thankfully GOS let’s me lock it down enough I don’t think I have to worry about them wiping it. When I log into our Azure admin portal and look at my normal user account it doesn’t even show that I have teams on my phone. While I’m sure that’s less than ideal from a business security thing, its not my lane to fix it and I think I prefer it that way.
My wife woke up to a scare when she found a chipmunk in her toilet in the middle of the night. We have no clue how it got in there unless it came in through the cat door and fell in (we are in Georgia in the US for reference).
I agree at least a little bit… I have no issue peeing with it down. The down votes have it!
Growing up, pretty much all our hick schools had were encyclopedias; when wikipedia showed up it felt like they were just against the ease of it’s use. Smarter kids would still use the sources cited in Wikipedia, but teachers hated when you referenced a research paper because they couldn’t find it.
Every single time I’ve tried the local area code plus 876-5309 has worked… Been using it since the days you’d enter a phone number to print coupons from a kiosk (I didn’t have a phone at the time). Now I enter it as second nature anytime a pin pad prompts me for a number.
Sec+ is a great one to have if you are looking for a job with the Federal government (looking at your home instance that might not be your thing but it pays decent and they are the largest employer in the US if you live over here). Check out the 2210 job series on usajobs.gov, most want Sec+ within 6 months of hiring but it helps to already have it.
I absolutely loved the release of LMDE, it’s just what I like though, the simple intuitive interface of Mint, without dealing with Canonical’s bullshit (really sour about snaps, ignore me lol).
Edit: picked back up my phone and reread what was on the screen when I realized you probably meant desktop environment and not Debian Edition when you typed DE.
I’m debating scrapping my homelab and hoping to retire, one of my servers has 768 GB, most of which isn’t assigned to any VMs…
If you just want it off that can be done too, but it depends on the vehicle as to where the modem is. For my Jeep its behind the head unit and seems to be a major pain to get to, but really its just a couple pieces of trim and a headunit in the way.
The only reason I haven’t is because I want to just get rid of it and get something more basic.
