Before ever game of classical chess I play over the board I coat my opponents pieces in DMT.

Eventually it gets absorbs through their skin and I can convince them it’s all a nightmare that only ends if they resign.

I call it the MK Ultra gambit

Everytime it was a “Wow. That’s neat!”

Proceeds to never do it again

My “production” home lab is 3 Optiplex 3050 with i7-7700. They work great and are pretty low power.

My last job had a massive wall of screens. And it was explicitly to impress government officials.

It had a news live stream playing (cycling between CNN, MSNBC, and ABC News), the weather, live camera feeds of both our on site and offsite DR data center, as well as live feed of our store room and basement (where all the cooling and power was routed). The screens also displayed all of our dashboards like nagios, Citrix, and Oracle. There was one that gave alerts if a system was down.

And this was all displayed on an array of 3 rows and 4 columns of 55 inch TVs using a chrome extension called “Revolver” to cycle through.

We actually only used like 3 of the total 20 rotating screens and it was way more efficient to have them running on my own 55" TV as a monitor just using power toys to give it a dedicated corner and then the rest could do emails and news.

BBC from a distant corner!

Oh no the white queen is getting blacked!

He brought a CUCK CHAIR it’s over folks!

Noods of shame

Its how you can tell PDP fans weren’t paying attention. He promoted it a few times but it didn’t gain any traction and he abandoned it.

Or maybe it just didn’t help with the fascism allegations from the bridge moment and the Fiverr incidents since those all happened about the same time.

Hell, he had Ben Shapiro host an episode of LWIAY. Sure it wasn’t peak genocide apologizer we have now Benny Boy, but he was still a verifiable dick head grifter.

Bethesda game runs like ass

That’s not news

You got into Self Hosting for unreasonable ideological reasons

I got into self hosting to avoid AWS Fees

We are not the same

That was among the most brain rot tier shit I’ve ever seen.

He’s also promoted the books of fascist talking heads like Jordan Peterson, Ben Shapiro, and Steven Crowder through his book club.

There’s a reason the Christ Church shooter yelled “Subscribe to PewDiePie” besides being a topical meme.

Odd since it’s arguably just as easy to make a new reddit account

When I stopped watching in 2018/2019 he had his collection of edgy scandals, but I mostly worry about his book club that featured Ben Shapiro and Jordan Peterson amongst the authors he’s recommended.

I have no idea if he’s stopped/apologized/started being at least progressive. But that’s why I wrote him off years ago

I doubt it will be a meaningful change.

And I don’t know how much I want to share a community with Pewds community. He had been pushing fascist ideas for a while. I have no clue honestly if he’s gotten better, but those are my misgivings.

They didn’t say they’re poorly dressed. Just ugly

Sick! I’ve added both to my list.

I’m almost done with “Tracers in the Dark”

Seems interesting. What did you think about it?

This is something I tell people all the time. It’s just as easy to troubleshoot on Linux as it is on Windows the biggest issue is that most people are just kinda innately aware of Windows troubleshooting by virtue of the fact that they’ve been doing it for so long. Linux is probably just as complicated skill wise, but most people just aren’t used to it yet.

And that’s especially true for gamers. If you’ve gone through the dance of tweaking BIOS settings or DDU removing drivers and reinstalling them, then you’re probably gonna do fine on Linux. The only difference is sometimes there won’t be a GUI you have to go hunt down. It will be like 3 commands someone has already written out for you that you copy/paste into the CLI. Which is WAY better in my opinion.

Pop OS

Lots of people were hyping it in 2019/2020 so I thought I’d give it a try as my first real Linux experience. It works great and has a Nvidia driver option when I need that. So I never really tried to switch.

Distro hoping never appealed to me, but I did try Fedora, Manjaro, Mint, Ubuntu, and Debian 12.

I use Kali for work and considered swapping to XFCE DE but pop is fine.

I wish I had this rizz
