The thing is, Android users don't really own the hardware. The true owner is Google, and Google will only allow the hardware to be used in a way that benefits Google.

I'm an android user, I want to.
I get the impetus for this idea, but the fact that it's not an *option* is the issue

Damn, so last night I left Mindustry running in order to let it keep sending materials out all night for as long as it would go.
Woke up this morning to Mindustry being on wave 500 and still going.
Think I am getting the hang of this.

Damnit people. I'm asking for a rack. This isn't a moment of mockery, this is a moment of panic

@HippyWizard I suppose it wouldn't be helpful to offer colo at my house. I have a mostly empty 42U rack... Maybe if you're looking for a DR site, I guess (around 4Mm away)?
@jjthiessen I don't know where you're currently living, but uh, that would be awesome, but I suspect I would cause you annoyance and pain with my bullshit
@HippyWizard Probably. I'm pretty sure that's the defining quality of friendship. Either that, or I'm a terrible friend ;)
Honestly though, the biggest impediment is that I don't have a great internal networking setup.

@HippyWizard Full disclosure — the reason why the rack is mostly empty is because the x3650s died in a flood. The rack is around 75cm higher now, so it's probably safe.
@HippyWizard My other possibly unhelpful suggestion is that you could make a fairly cheap half rack out of 2x4s and angle iron (or just angle iron if you have access to a welder, and want to spend more).
@HippyWizard Pre-drilled and threaded rails (or square hole punched) are probably the better way to go (for the verticals/rails). Probably $100 in materials for 4 ~21U rails and 4 8' 2x4s.
@HippyWizard Neat. Looks great for reasonably light stuff (punch panels, switches, trays, SBC cluster brackets, maybe a 1U server). I'd be worried about 2U+ servers, disk shelves, etc; but it looks like people use them for that, so I guess I'm just too conservative 🤷♂️ (or I... Lack faith).
I actually use titanupthedefense.neocities.org to keep up with the podcast because I am a parody of myself

I should work on the ReMarkable API tonight in order to see if I can figure it out. And watch Riverdale.
Like a monster.
Friday, burn down some reading.
Saying things aloud should help me keep my brain together. I hope.

Uuuuug - I wanna read books, but I need to not buy from Amazon. And there's an author I wanna buy, but they only Amazon (prooooooobably because of some sort of contract). I don't know which is more important to me. My hatred of Amazon, or my support of Authors.

I really hate that idea. I also don't know how to donate to the author, since she doesn't have a public donation link
It's, in a way, the ideal world. But it also has issues. I dunno.
Standards, corporation, and so on.

@HippyWizard Would you feel okay if you bought the book from Amazon and then donated money to an org that supports workers rights?
Just sent a DM to someone in Slack. Typed "Hello, I" and then missed, and instead of "Hello I'm blah blah blah" I hit Enter, and sent a blank DM of "Hello, I" and I am the monster I hate.

I'm gonna have a second child in a few months. This is the greatest of all possible things.
But I'm having trouble facing everything else. And I need to be a better dad.
It's hard how much my identity has become Dad since Shæ was born. I don't care about computers. I don't care about RPGs. About narrative. About Stories. About building.
These have become hobbies, minor distractions from the job of being a dad.
But it's hard, because all of those things aren't giving me the joy they used to, and so I can't hide.
I just want to be a father to these kids.

It sounds like if nothing else, these children will have a good father, and will be raised well... so there's that.
One thing I realized is that Reading is a First Class hobby again, because other hobbies have decreased in importance. And that's important, because Reading is something I strongly identify with and enjoy. But I don't get to do much when I am constantly writing or pulling off stupid jokes.

I mean, it's more just isolation, job being crap, and so on.
You know how it is.
Now my pregnant wife is vomiting blood (this is apparently a thing that happens to pregnant woman?!) and main server has a dead chassis. So you know, nothing that can be done.
Which makes it worse.

I actually hadn't heard about the whole vomiting blood thing. That sounds... terrifying.
I agree with you though, it's been a generally shit year all around.

It's a Mallory-Weiss tear, which is where you vomit so much you tear your esophagus. Which is... horrifying

If you have $4 and like cyberpunk, help me put some food in my kids' mouths!
"This is secretly the greatest and also funniest cyberpunk point and click adventure game on Steam. Very low-fi art style but the gags are just too good to pass up, and a lot closer to a "real" cyberpunk dystopian future than most favorites of the genre."

Datadog loves to publish resources, and then their support team gets super flustered when you ask if they support things on it. And they never get the idea that you might want to use their publlshed tools with feature flags or options.
Generic ebooks are one of the best places for reading currently.
There's these massive blocks of text that people would prefer not to be overly formatted, and they can't expect the user to be on any fuckin' screen size, or want any text size. They just give you glorious text.

After American Gods I thought I would hate Ananzi Boys, but I tried
Anazi Boys was amazing
Gaiman said he wanted American Gods to be long and meandering, and succeeded too well, Anazi Boys was tight and strong

if you by chance didn't read it as an audiobook read by Lenny Henry, it is soooooooo good. His reading, I thought, added incredible dimension. 12/10 recommend!

Oh I believe it would work well as an audiobook! Sadly, I can't read audiobooks, I don't know why, I love podcasts. But all the Neil Gaiman audiobooks coming out right now look real good.

Yeah, makes sense.
But yeah- Texas is having a real bad... everything
Failure of the American state, climate crisis, and failed state policy don't go well together

@HippyWizard Maybe you should consider using GPT partitioning and labels. That way you can shuffle your disks around all day long. Well, maybe apart from any boot disks.
