I speak from experience that no one other than professionals should be handling their own mail servers in 2024. I worked for a mail host. The amount of spam and attacks that befall a mail provider, even a small one, is bonkers. Plus, mail is just too damn important.

I wish it wasn’t the case because the idea of everyone privately hosting their own mail servers would be pretty awesome. Sadly the modern internet makes it way too risky.

For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

This could be Incredible Machine maybe?

This is why you should use a very unique typewriter model so the extra on Law & Order gets to play the local typewriter shop salesman that can instantly identify the typeface.

Nah. Sun just acts as the Queen Atom. Without it, you’d end up with a Helvetica Scenario. This is basic science.

I’ve found it useful for getting approaches to programming projects. Rarely does it completely solve my problems, but it keeps me headed in the right direction.

I’m also partway through making my first ARG and it’s super useful for generating ideas, especially when I feed it my established lore because it can keep ideas within that universe.

I’ve found overall, it’s best to use it to fill in the gaps on ideas I have in general. I theoretically could make all of the content myself from scratch, but I’m honestly terrible at all the little details in many cases. It allows me to not dwell on the little stuff.

Don’t forget about Gormanuary

I guess the market for this is people who… um… it’s for someone that… uh…

Who the fuck would buy this?

Like, is it for people who don’t know about literally any other PC handheld?

Usually the home versions were scams, but there were better quality ones out there that would remove just a little bit of the top layer, making a smooth finish again. Although deep scratches obviously couldn’t be repaired in this case.

Steam Deck, hands down. I’d probably spend a decent amount of time just hitting backlog games.

I’ve always seen it like this: Being single and content with yourself is always better than being in a relationship where they make you doubt yourself. And this is coming from being single for about 8 years now.

If the person you’re with makes you feel unsafe, they’re ultimately not benefiting you. It’s a trap you can find yourself in where you attach the happy moments to the present.

On top of all of this, anyone who demands access to your phone is just not someone I would trust. They assume you have something to hide because they have something to hide themselves.

I’ll be in the angry dome

Nah. CMM go beep, beep, beep, beep… beep, beep….

Aw man. They were so close, too!

If Silicon Valley taught me anything, take the cash.
