It’ll happen some day. There will eventually be “Illegal” wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they’ll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there’s just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

I wish Bloomberg would stop spamming anti marijuana propaganda all the time on his website and passing it off as “news”. Fuck that asshat. What companies does he own so I can boycott them all?

I pirate too much stuff because monthly fees and everything as a service are eating everyone alive. Hard pass.

Huh, I’m going to try shaving my armpits. I’m a smelly guy and I seem to need to use a lot of deodorant to keep it under control.

I hope she at least died immediately, that sounds like a terrible way to go.

I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I’m trying to compile a Java project, there’s some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.

Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.

If you get even 1 thing wrong, the entire program stops working and you don’t get any information about it. Turns out those cryptic errors like “error: object reference not set to instance of an object at address 0x007e00” are kind of important information to have. Unless you specifically know where it’s crashing, finding the source of the problem is like finding a needle in a haystack. If it’s your own code it’s borderline manageable but you’ll regret every decision that led you up to that point. If it’s someone else’s code such as an old project from 9 years ago that doesn’t work anymore, absolutely forget about it.

The only advantage of php is that it’s incredibly lightweight. I was running an Athlon XP home server on Gentoo as late as 2022 and still had php running despite only having the SSE1 instruction set and a cpu less powerful than whats probably on a modern led lightbulb.

But ACKTCHUALLY I think django and python bottles can be run on even shittier computers than php can since they’re both python programs and python has been demonstrated to be runnable on a pentium 1. So there is no reason to use php.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don’t comment if I have nothing to add.

How to go from only being able to compile the project on a Windows machine (due to obscure dependencies that every other Java project has for some reason) to not being able to compile on anyone’s machine at all in just 1 simple step.

I know the costs of living in California are so far out of control it’s barely livable but considering the job opportunities in my area I kind of want to move there just to get a fast food job. I even have a degree in IT yet I have to compete with people more qualified and experienced than me just for a $15/hr job.

I know how to use git pull, git push, git commit, git status and git add *. I don’t even know how git commit and git push works I just know you run them in that order. Whenever I break everything I give up and go outside.

I want to rent one of those airport mall storefronts and sell parachutes to 737 max customers.

Instead of a regular backpack can I just bring a parachute as my carryon?

I am trying to use wifi for “everything”. I know it’s bad but there is no honest to goodness way I can get ethernet to anything except the router and modem. It’s complicated. Even a 60hz ac to ethernet wall plug transceiver has to go through enough breakers and stuff it’s not worth trying.

I forgot which exact router I have but it’s basically the highest end Cisco home router that works with dd wrt. It usually costs $300 on amazon. My internet connection is dsl but I’m not trying to get higher internet speeds, just higher lan speeds.

If my low effort network setup only yields me a maximum of 7mbytes/sec I’m fine with it I just want to be able to get more than 1 meg per second on the one system that needs it the most.

Is jellyfin good? Several years ago I wrote a very basic php search system and then made another php script to generate a clickable list of every video file in a directory. These 2 put together makes a better than nothing media server that I can use with confidence knowing it’s probably really secure and not sending any data to anyone on the internet.

My setups lan transfer speed is slow all the time for reasons beyond my understanding so I have to find a way to fix that first before I can think about changing my media server software anyway. My 1mb/s download/1.2mb/s upload speed on my server and 4-7mb/s for each other pc is good enough to watch some stuff but it really sucks that after overhead and performance losses, that’s all that’s left of my 400mbits/sec wifi connection. I barely even use it and don’t have any non Linux pcs on my network so it’s not like it’s slow due to actual traffic. Router and wifi card manufacturers are scamming us all. Divide any advertizered wireless network speed by 64 and that’s the maximum you can expect in my experience.

Some motherboards in 2024 still don’t work if you put the ram in the wrong ram slots. I ran into that problem on an am5 board recently.

The police are going to be very busy. There are a lot of cows in Tennessee. They fart a lot.

All I know is that life is hard but things could be a lot harder so I’m never having kids so I can focus on looking out for myself. Things could be a whole lot better too. The last thing any government deserves is for us to reward and enable them by birthing more babies.
