So the most sane anarcho-capitalist, gotcha

Likewise, coop is so much more fun IMO

Especially if it’s something like Overcooked

Silly coop games with a low barrier of entry are amazing

Surprisingly no

It idles at about 150w

Unfortunately walking free mostly

There’s still investigations on going (last I heard) but we basically have to just wait

Unfortunately in our current election system, voting for the lesser evil is what we have to do.

Vote with your heart in the primaries, vote strategically in the end. So is the curse of our first past the post voting system.

And do what you can to help get the people who want to do positive change in your local elections into office. The only path to ranked choice voting is getting enough support in the states, there’s very little chance we’ll get it on the national stage without it becoming a reality on the state level.

Bit of a silly question:

I got quite the overkill server‡ for free‡‡ a little while ago and I’ve been struggling to find stuff to do with it

What kind of stuff do you self host?

Basically all I’ve got currently is TrueNAS Scale running on mine and it feels like a bit of a waste just running that.

‡ My server is from 2012 but it’s got dual hexacore Xeons (can’t recall exact model), 192GB of RAM, and about 40 TB of storage in Raid-Z2. The storage came from my old crusty NAS, I didn’t get that for free.

‡‡ Well mostly free, I was told I could have it if I got it out of they’re garage which took about 2 days.

Damnit, I liked their ice cream

I’m primarily on my Blahaj account but I’m currently using one of my alts as Jerboa is crashing when I try to log into my Beehaw account (which requires me to clear the app storage to switch accounts) and Blahaj is currently having server issues again.

Personally I dig the vibes of the Blahaj folks

Mostly I sub to communities all over the fediverse, though this alt is a bit more bare as I mostly keep them separated in terms of where I interact.

Pedos have no place in the LGBTQ+ community.

Thank you, I’ve been working on and off again on various story ideas for awhile now.

One issue I’m having though is they’re being little plot bunnies.

Basically I’ll have 6 plot ideas, start 2, and have 8 plot ideas instead of 4.

I had to log out of all my accounts and then clear the app storage to be able to log back in to my accounts.

Basically what happened is that the hacked instances rotated their master keys and Jerboa didn’t know how to handle it.

First video game?

DOOM on my grandparents PC

It has to be ran with a smaller image to play but I loved it.

When DOOM 2 hit it was amazing

I personally paint mostly 3D printed minis for DnD and the occasional statue so YMMV

I typically use black primer with a sprits of grey from above to kinda act like an initial highlight layer.

Or just black depending on the model.

A big part of the primer IMO is that it gives a base coat and shadows for hard to reach places.

Happy painting!

Not as much painting as I’d like but since I got diagnosed with ADHD and started taking meds for it my ability to budget time has exploded.

I can actually start things with the confidence of being able to do them. It was life changing for both my mental and physical health.

I don’t paint minis everyday, more like a day or 2 per week (we’ve all got a pile of shame) and the other things are also usually a day or 2 per week. Photography gets sprinkled into most things though.

No kids here either which is pretty nice mostly, but I do spend sometime with the niece and nephew. They usually dig me explaining things to them about how things work or how things came to be etc. Or hell even just bouncing ideas around and looking up history topics, they’re pretty fun but a handful when I see them.

I’ll have to join those communities for sure, when I first hopped over here I couldn’t find much for those things and I’m going to share some for sure there. I’ve shared some of my others in other communities using some of my alt accounts so I’ll probably share those links there as well.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I live in the area and love to hike the hills around here.

Helens is beautiful but I think Mt Adams is my favorite. There’s just something about that mountain that calls to me. Mt Hood is pretty cool too but it’s a bit too busy for me.

I really dig the absolute isolation of the area between Mt Rainier, Mt St Helens, and Mt Adams.

I’ll be sure to post some pictures from My Adams soon… When I can get to my favorite trails. There’s still a bit too much snow around a few of them.

Last year at this point I built a snowman on one trail and went home before I got too lost out there.

Picture an 4 way intersection.

For me every single car just went about their way all willy nilly like it was nothing.

Occasionally a semi hauling triple trailers flys through grinding every else to a halt when everyone is trying to get through.

There’s no order, the lights don’t work, and almost no one wants to yield.

The cars were ideas, things I saw, and things I needed to do. The semi is my latest hyper obsession. The non functional traffic lights were my ability to regulate my thoughts.

When I took my meds it was like the lights started working suddenly. At first they were really strict, one car at a time like a highway on ramp. But then things amped down a bit as I got more used to the meds. I even went up to 60mg atomoxetine from 40mg where I started as things ramped too close to chaos again.

I hope that made sense.

My mind is with my 10mm sockets

Somewhere between Mars and the Sun, probably.

Surprisingly not so much… Mostly.

For me at least the hunger thing has a known origin, I had so much food scarcity as a kid and into my mid 20s that hunger is more of a suggestion than something that dominates my mind.

Hell it took years before it was more than just the occasional blip of “you should probably eat” that would quickly pass.

Now if I found a new hyper obsession, then I might forget to breathe (not a joke).

For me I have the urge to stand up but I can’t bring myself to on many occasions and beat myself up about for too long.

It’s gotten easier to stand up about things since I started taking meds.

In fact thinking back on it since I started my meds I’ve stood up almost every time.

Honestly life has gotten so much easier and better since then it’s kinda crazy.

I wish I had gotten around to scheduling the appointment sooner.
