Exactly. I use NixOS, btw.

“…or is this actually a thing now?”

Always has been.

I’ll see myself out.

I had to scroll way too far to find this. Especially considering that I have a desktop with full disk encryption, I don’t worry about it. If anyone ever did break into my house and take my computer, they would have to unplug it first; at that point, the disk would encrypt, and they’d have some really nice hardware which sucks for me, but that’s all they’d get.

It all started back in 1998, when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell in a Cell, and plummeted 16 feet through an announcers table.

I was gonna say, I haven’t used Windows in years.

People are gonna pillory me for this, but flashlights.

First off, you want something that runs off two AAAs, regardless of price. If you can’t walk into any gas station, or any grocery store, or what have you, and buy batteries for your flashlight when it dies, it’s not gonna matter how bright it was before it died. You also don’t want anything brighter than ~200 lumens at the very most, unless you actually need one brighter, for some reason; they drain batteries way faster. You want something thin enough that you’re able to clip it inside your pocket and forget it’s there. You also want one that has an end switch that toggles between two modes: “full power” and “turned off.” If you have one that toggles between low and high settings, you will only use the high setting. If you have one that toggles between low and high settings, and strobe and SoS, you will only use the high setting. Every additional step in between “all the way off” and “all the way on” is just friction you don’t need, that will do nothing but piss you off every time you use the damned thing.

The features that make big, fancy flashlights expensive, are anti-features.

Imagine the male equivalent of the same exact ad: “My penis FINALLY smells healthy”…

Oof. Yeah, I don’t use my computer for work, so I’d never even thought of that. That’s annoying.

Imagine day walking, lol.

Subject-object-verb or object-subject-verb?

FUTO Keyboard.

NixOS diehard.

I used to work nights at a grocery store. The break room coffee was made by a recovering meth addict, and was basically the next “best” thing if only in theory.

My first tiling window manager was Xmonad. There is simply no such thing as going back to a full desktop environment when your first tiling window manager was Xmonad. I haven’t even considered using a full desktop environment in years, and I never will.

Yes, good and/or bad and/or otherwise. It’s gonna get weird.

The machine I had before this had 4 GB, lol. That’s why I put so much of the budget into RAM when I built this one.

Shaving what little hair I have left on my head is so much more convenient, lol.
