And now I wish for somebody to include this into their fictional universe. If any proffesional writer reads this, pay attention!

The absolute strangest 6 and a half hours spent in front of the screen.

always ask:

1. How many people would have to be in on it?
2. How likely is it for everybody to keep the secret?

I feel like 3D is a different kind of medium. Directors used to shoot movies that look good on a 2D screen weren’t fully utilizing the possibilities of the new medium. However, shooting movies solely for being presented in 3D would not have been financially viable.

VR suffers from a similar problem. But thanks to lower costs, compared to a Hollywood movie, it’s possible to target the smaller market of VR users.

I think I’ve boycotted sony for one thing or the other for the large part of my adult life. Only backed down in 2021 and bought some shares. Time to return back to normal I guess.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Some people stuggle to learn a second language their entire lives. These badasses did it for a gig!

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

If they are training on historical dubs, just be thankful you’re not Polish.

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.

I love these weird micro-cult stories, thank you for posting this!

What made it extra weird for me was the fact that I grew up among people obsessed with tolkien and larping, ocasionally being labeled as a cult by the general public, except they actually pulled off the fantasy/scifi convention part. And they are still going strong for more than a decade. It was a humbling experience for me as a young adult to see my peers exhibit such dedication, discipline and organization skills just for the sake of building something together.

Seeing how the same drive can backfire under different conditions was quite a ride!

edit: To whoever it may concern, this story had almost frighteningly simmilar vibes as the story about the Zizians:

The last time I watched the “Don’t date a robot” episode of Futurama, it was a fiction.

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.
