I once rescued a duckling as well. sometimes duck mothers simply decide they’re just gonna ditch a kid. took about 3 months until it was ready to be released, I had built it a full outside enclosure where it could stay in the meantime, so it was mostly self sufficient towards the end. it definitely did learn to recognize me, and while it still hated being touched, it had absolutely bonded and kept trying to run back to me when I released it.
luckily where I grew up there was a spring fed one where ducks stay year round, so I can actually confirm it’s still there and recognized me up till about 3 years later.
they’re absolutely vicious tho. still have the scars from when I had to handle it!


totato fries with pomato ketchup sounds like a great way to convince someone their having a stroke


musl is very cool and has very specific use cases. workstations are not one of them. you won’t be able to install drivers for gpus for example.


I think there have been some pretty major improvements in that sound tech recently. I remember when I was still using windows 10 a few years ago there wasn’t a good way to have two audio outputs. Android only added that a few years back as well iirc. maybe was possible with some major modifications but now it’s all included oob.


all the time. they would tell me they were gonna search my room as I left for school, then the entire day I’d be thinking about what they may find (usually nothing, but they always managed to make a big deal out of something). I’d come home, they’d make me do homework, eat dinner, etc, then they’d finally sit me down. one time my mother found a dried maple leaf for my 7th grade life science project and assumed it was weed lol. then I would get to go piece my room back together as stuff would kinda be strewn everywhere.
I did have some alcohol hidden every now and then in high school but with how often they searched my room I was able to put it in spots they’d never find.


I pay like 10/year for my domain name.
I also have Spotify (I know it’s a shit service but I don’t have the time to collect all the new music I want to listen to as it comes out).
I pay 3/month for f1tv as well which lets you watch replays all the way back to the 80s.
so in total maybe 15/month towards subscriptions.


I have an old team force ddr4 16gb kitm not exactly top of the line but should do the trick. I’ll gladly sell it to you for a much fairer price than what’s around these days long as you’re in the us. dm me if interested, no worries if not
ah. that’s a shame. I’m with them till 2028 as I bought a decent length package, but I’ll probably switch away after that or sooner if they enshittify. I only use it for p2p and torrent search so I’m not super worried about it for now but that’s good to know.
what’s wrong with PIA? I’ve been pretty pleased with it, is there something I’m missing?


agreed on games. no horror movie or book has ever made me the same way as the time I found out the AI in alien isolation will learn your hiding spots and kill you if you resuse the same one enough.


my grandmother was a programmer at bell in the early 60s and 70s. really curious if she had hands on any of this. wish she was still around to ask lol.
you only realize how cool your grandparents were after they’re gone.
PC stays on until I find a reason to reboot it. most of what I do is in vms so I’m not that concerned about security patches. it’s at 30 days right now without issues.
similar for the server. everything is in docker containers that I restart once or twice a month. it’s around 70 days right now as I had to rebuild a lot of it due to some catastrophic failures.


I’m a big enjoyer of pushd and popd
so if youre in a working dir and need to go work in a different dir, you can pushd ./, cd to the new dir and do your thing, then popd to go back to the old dir without typing in the path again


my HDD with 80k power on hours is gonna have to keep kicking for now I guess


just installed it. to be honest I didn’t mind the r2modman ui but now I’ve seen the light…
thanks haha


very cool! do you know if gale supports the exporting and importing profiles as hash codes? that’s how me and my friends tend to share modpacks.
either way though I’ll check out, thanks.


I’ve used atlauncher for minecraft without issues. r2modman works perfectly via app image for a lot of steam games as well.
worst comes to worst you can manually drop files in but the tools do exist. it just depends what you’re modding


sorry, but the chances are actually zero. it takes a lot more force and specialized conditions to split an atom than a knife
I really really loved their old stuff but I can’t even sit through their latest albums. super disappointing honestly
sundowning was the last solid thing they put out imo
