@Vo ha thankfully it was a faulty detector, otherwise shit would be getting evacuated rn.
@ins0mniak She's the reason mercaptan is in natural gas, but it's futile
@Vo I wasnt taking any chances. I called the fucking FD. They came in with sensors and stuff. Then the bitch yelled at me for having them come and look.
She was like "whos going to pay the bill for that?"
its first reposnders bitch they dont bill you.

@ins0mniak @Vo Picturing a mud hut with a beeping smoke detector and co going off
@ins0mniak @graf I did night shift hotel security/janitor for a while, had an alarm sound one night, only audible in the basement utility area. Wasn't trained on it but found the source and saw it was from the fire suppression system. Supervisor left me with a list of numbers.
Called, guy came out, diagnosed it, false alarm. He filled me in about the horrors of aged fire-suppression systems, I guess they're meant to be flushed regularly otherwise black sludge comes out when it finally goes off.
@Vo @ins0mniak A couple days ago I carried a washing machine that had water in it up a flight of stairs and 100m out to the road so my hands were fatigued and fucked so I asked my buddy to pull down my smoke detector because I thought my hands were just fatigued but it turned out the nigger literally pinned it in place so it couldn't be turned off so I felt like a retard (also drunk)
@ins0mniak @Vo My pixel 11 pro xl got delivered and it woke me up so I had to cover my morning boner infront of a black dude. Shit happens man
@ins0mniak @Vo I ordered that shit when people were flying in for the summit. Haven't touched it since it arrived. I've been so busy and just. Fuck man

@ins0mniak @graf I once set up an rPi3 on a battery bank with a $5 webcam as a ghetto security camera, for a Fedex delivery I needed to receive. Can recommend.
There was no issue that time but I like to believe it's because I went the extra step to collapse the quantum eigenfunction or w/e.
@ins0mniak @Vo the only SBC I've ever owned I bought as a pair when I bought one for p for christmas, radxa rock 5b with I think 32GB ram, those things scream and it was so cheap at the time
@ins0mniak @Vo I got a mini (think nuc) pc with a ryzen 9 6980HX with 64GB ram and 8TB NVMe sitting in my table im typing on now and I have no idea what to do with it. I was going to put the nitter on it then I reazlied hosting the nitter or anything in my house is an incredibly horrible idea
@graf @ins0mniak @Vo emulation box for ps3 games
@professionalbigot69 @ins0mniak @Vo those 2 4TB NVMes are selling on amazon for almost a grand a piece now. I paid like 300$

@Vo @ins0mniak @graf @professionalbigot69 Was just talking to a coworker about this earlier, it'd be like 6-7k each for us to build our computers today...
@ForbiddenDreamer @Vo @ins0mniak @professionalbigot69 yeah if I built the PC I used as my workstation before giving to grey's sons wife as a birthday gift it would be about 6 grand and thats only with a 3070ti in it. insane
@ForbiddenDreamer @Vo @ins0mniak @professionalbigot69 Time to buy a bunch of 200$ ThinkPad from Amazon and watch eBay for deals on RAM
@graf @ForbiddenDreamer @Vo @professionalbigot69 I have a bunch of macfag stuff.
I dont even care man, Im cruising ha

@ins0mniak @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Time for us to start deconstructing the web. Everhthing text and css only
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Fuck CSS even, it's Gopher time
@Vo @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 No I like blinking gifs and scrolling text
@graf @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 I have a script that just snaggs all the rss feeds I want and pipes them into a snazzy html file for me.
cron does it like 6 times a day for me.

@ins0mniak @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 For most of my preteen and teen years i ran freeebsd console only then Gentoo console only for 3 years before I finally settled in xfce4 and it's looked the same since. Same install
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 xfce4 my DE of choice to this day too. Unfortunately was a wincuck for most of my youth but it's starting to pay off in family-boomer tech support fees
@Vo @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Steam really shook shit up with proton. Big time
@ins0mniak @graf @Vo @professionalbigot69 I think killing floor was the only game I couldn't get it to work with, and these days there usually isn't even that much fiddling required
@ForbiddenDreamer @ins0mniak @graf @professionalbigot69 Destiny 2 and Rust are the only examples I know of, both devs just drew an arbitrary line because "muh hackers" even though Easy Anti-Cheat (which they both used) fully supported Linux.
Destiny 2 is slop, Rust is full of cancer, so I'm not really missing out either way. But fuck man just flip the switch
@Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @ins0mniak @professionalbigot69 I did quality testing for facepunch on rust. 1700 some odd hours placing destroying placing destroying
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 On linux?
@Vo @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Yeah. Thought it was worse
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 I'd be happy if they just banned Linux users from whatever "community" servers they list in the browser, but opened them up to joining whatever private server. Retvrn
@Vo @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Eac doesn't work hardly at all on Linux. Never will
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Well either way, my statement stands. Dedicated servers are a wild west anyway.
@Vo @graf @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 i miss lan parties man.
quake 2 is still the best time iv had playing video

9@ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @professionalbigot69 I still remember being ~12 years old playing Q3TA, going from heavily-throttled local-ISP cable to an ADSL trial. The ping difference was palpable.
Makes no sense given what I know about network mediums now, but holy hell I couldn't go back when the trial ended.
That was probably the last time I had really good fun in an FPS multiplayer game, and it's over 2 decades ago.
@Vo @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Back when I was a kid they just came out with cable internet but they didn't firmware lock them so it was 100/100 up and down. 6 months later they Flash the modems and on Usenet you could down the firmware and flasher
@graf @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 i had dial up for the longest time.
took like 20 minutes to get an mp3

Yeah I used dial up until like 2004 or maybe 2005 lol.
@grizzlywhisker @graf @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 i dont think i landed decent hookup until around then either. then it was like "oh shit...you can watch movies?" ha
I used to download movies from the old p2p clients like KaZaA and Morpheus with dial-up. I remember it taking 2 days to download LoTR Fellowship of the Ring when a bootleg first came out lol.
@grizzlywhisker @ins0mniak @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 I slept through that entire movie completely sober from 2 minutes into it until my friends woke me up
@graf @grizzlywhisker @Vo @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 yeah i dont get wizards and elfs and shit.
i like space crap personally.
