  • Not much of a metal head, but the whole Nonagon Infinity album by King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard is great. Also their album PetroDragonic Apocalypse.

    What got me even slightly into metal, and stays mainstays on my playlists, are the albums Black Hole Space Wizard Parts 1 and 2 by Howling Giant. Cannot reccomend those enough. Also, their album The Space Between Worlds is great too, but isn’t like one long story.






  • Have fun with that then. Sorry about your balls.

    If you’re competent and technologically saavy enough to use a Linux distro as your daily driver, you can learn to make Windows work for you too.

    Waste of effort if you don’t need to interact with any Windows environments for school or work, but definitely possible.

    For me? I’m happy to get paid to automate shit using PowerShell that should have been basic built in functionality from the start. PowerShell is just the most convenient scripting language due to being packed-in with most Windows installs, and tons of built in functionality for interfacing with other Microsoft products. So as long as Microsoft keeps sucking, I’ve got a comfy paycheck.

    And if the year of the Linux desktop ever finally happens? I’m ready, I’ll be cheering, and I’ll be ready to get paid helping companies to make the switch.


  • I’m usually a Windows “shill” or at least a casual defender of it, as I work in a Windows environment and it’s not as bad as people pretend it is. No shade against Linux, I love it and Windows is bad. Just not like “I’d rather self-castrate” bad.

    Anyway…

    But for a home server? Either be super lazy and set up samba shares from your Windows desktop for the drives (avoid having a server at all) or bite the bullet and use Linux. You’ll get so much more out of a Linux server that it’s not even funny.



  • I mean this as softly as possible:

    It’s not your job to shout at people online and be negative about things in relation to your personal past traumas.

    You might be intending it as help, but you’re just coming across like a raging asshole.

    This sort of behavior is a sign that you have a lot of shit to work through still. I’d expect that this sort of aggressive admonishing didn’t work on you, and is part of that shit you have to work through. Don’t perpetuate it.

    From: Someone raised by a narcisist anxiety riddled wino with emotional regulation issues, and an absentee emotionally unavailable depressive man with ADHD.

    Not trying any sort of one upmanship, just highlighting that plenty of people have personal traumas. Try to not make it the world’s problem to deal with.


  • I had a sip of beer or wine here or there as a kid, but my first “real” drink was shitty vodka mixed with grape juice. Tasted like cough syrup. I was 18, very depressed, hanging out with friends, and up to make poor decisions.

    Later that night I had one mouthful of “Natural Ice” and poured the rest down the sink at some house party we managed to wander into. Don’t know how something can taste like skunk and watered down piss at once, but they made it happen.

    Shocked I drank much at all after that mess of a night. Now I know that I have a recessive genetic liver condition, so no more booze for me, outside of small sips of whatever new craft beer the wife has found.




  • What? They aren’t sentient. They aren’t sociopathic. They can’t do “use of deception”.

    These are (absurdly complex) word/phrase/semantic token association engines. They aren’t thinking. They don’t understand true or false.

    They’re dangerous and not to be trusted for factual information,but not for anything related to asimov’s law, or whatever you seem to think is going on under the hood.
