Check engine lights are so vague. Imagine if the human nervous system was just like "Yup, something's wrong, but it could either be a mosquito bite or a fractured skull"

I'm working on a command-line based game in which you explore procedurally generated dimensions. I'm still working out the details, so its possible it'll never be finished, but I hope it comes out as I'm hoping.

I've been working on V0LT's branding a lot lately, and I'm really happy with how things are coming along. Check out v0lttech.com/branding.php!

System76 sent me free stickers, and I love them!

Being able to pipe 'curl' outputs into python is a godsend as a computer nerd. Instead of having to walk someone through installing my program just to test it out, I can just have them run a one line command that downloads the code from GitHub.

Don’t you love when your CPU is so slow that you can’t even watch the Zen 3 event without the video buffering every 3 seconds despite a wired internet connection

I’ve gotten back into Monero mining, with two old laptops I’ve gotten over 3kH/s. That’s not terrible considering they’re both MacBooks.

I’ve noticed that when I take my mask off, I still talk really loud because I’m so used to having to compensate for the mask.

Well, I tried installing a CPU for the first time today.

...I dropped it and bent pins.

Good news is it was a really old cheap processor. The bad news is I’m planning on building a pc with a $450 CPU in the near future.

Even if they aren’t particularly popular terms in the non-tech industry, I still really like when people refer to “free as in freedom” software as free software, and “free as in cost” software as freeware.

I had a professor today use “free software” to refer to software that costs $0, then correct himself and say “freeware, not free software”.

I approve

Do you ever just instinctively try to fast forward while on a long video call?

Why is DRM still a thing? People who will steal your stuff will get cracked versions anyways. All you're doing is punishing me for paying you.
