    Find a use! Make it into a PiHole and block all the ads on your network. I've been thinking about what I can do with more self-hosted services. I could use another computer, but I think I'm going to figure out how to setup Docker on my Windows server so I can setup Immich and get away from...

    We have/had ads on the forum? TIL. Yeah, been keeping up with how things are going. Just saw an article on the main page about DRAM and SSD prices probably up 130% by the end of the year. Still waiting on my own DDR3 RAM I bought to ship. I bought it on the 25th and the seller is just...

    Ah, alright, that makes sense. I mean, they gotta figure out how to monetize it better too, I'm assuming. Much as I enjoy using AI though, I am hoping the bubble bursts so we can go back to relatively affordable prices and availability.

    I bought a skin for my Steam Deck for some reason. I've had the thing almost 4 years now and been perfectly happy with it, but suddenly I want to customize the looks a little bit more; never applied one before, so hopefully it'll look pretty alright. Also started out on Half-Life 2: Episode 1...

    Out of curiosity, do you ever get accurate and working links from AI? Every AI I've used can never give me a working link and when told the link is broken and they're hallucinating, they just hallucinate another broken link. I've even just asked it to cite its sources as far as city codes go...

    Yeah, been seeing the red flags here every day and those two fires that have broken out seem to have been quickly contained, which I'm thankful for. Back in 2021, it was so dry we had a fire start and burn about half of my hometown; I haven't lived there for 20+ years now, but some friends...

    Making me want to spend the money on that. Though I still have RE4 Remake in my library I haven't touched and I know the friend who bought it for me really wants me to play it.

    Speaking of weather, it's been hella dry here this year and last. In a normal world, I'd have removed snow several times already, but this year we've gotten only a couple of dustings, even last year wasn't that bad; I didn't even use my snowblower. I need to actually take it out of the garage...

    Had to change my avatar; given the forum changeover made avatars much bigger, I couldn't stand to look at my ugly mug. Finished Half-Life 2 last night. Still a really great game, but with a more modern perspective I feel like it falls apart a bit at the end. There were several instances toward...

    Been kind of running a whole bunch of games lately. I've dropped off Diablo 2, which is mildly disappointing, as I was hoping to finish the second act for the first time in my life, but I got stopped up at the second act boss and completely lost interest when I started grinding to be able to...

    Honestly better than my best desktop system! Really wish I'd grabbed a 5800x3d back when they were "cheap", but instead I had upgraded to the 5600. Honestly, it's plenty for my needs, but it would be nice to have the best AM4 processor I could afford. Someday when RAM comes back down and people...

    I have no idea how people figure any of this out.

    I did end-up trying Future Knight. I liked it, I think it's surprisingly charming and there's more to it than just the art style. That said, I chose to drop it because it has some tedium to it. You have a little guy you can pop out of the main character to access different spaces and it only...

    Oh yeah, that 4690 would be a solid upgrade. You could always keep it and turn it into a server of sorts. I actually happened across "Immich" the other day, a self-hosted replacement for Google Photos. I think I might actually throw my 4tb drive back into my main PC and use that as a cloud...

    Hey, I've been cynical for a great many years, also since I was a kid. My own Philosophy can be summed up as, "No meaning but what you make." Ultimately, I will die and be forgotten about in two generations or so and that's that. Actually been thinking about death a lot lately; being in my 40's...
