I just work better at night. No matter what I do or how much I change my sleep schedule (yes, even for months on end), I still just work better at night. Whether it's DSPS or just less stimuli, I cannot tell you. What I can tell you is... I just work better at night. Oh, and it's Blaugust, so get on the Fediverse!! This is day 27 of #100DaysToOffload

This game was a wild ride, the hype is real! I really thought I was going to write a long philosophical post, but in the end this is all that really mattered. This was the first turn based game / JRPG that I enjoyed outside of Pokémon. Second off, this was my first game that I played through completely with a controller as I finally found one that fit my hands. The Good: A whole lot of Wheeeeeeeee I found the gameplay lots of fun with a basically perfect level curve. I played on expeditioner

I lose more faith in humanity from its ever dwindling reserves in my heart. STOP using fucking AI generated images they look like shit and you look like an asshole posting them. At minimum take a regular photo and apply some sort of filter or sketch-work. Yes that's where I am at telling people to apply filters. We truly live in the worst timeline.

But either way everything is now gone. Come join us on the Fediverse. This is day 24 of #100DaysToOffload

No longer working As mentioned below, it has stopped working for me as well. If anyone has gotten it working with another method, please let me know. TIA. Please note this is against TOS I do not take responsibility if you get banned. Backblaze Personal, as most of you know, is my recommended cloud backup platform. It’s cheap and has unlimited storage. The thing is you cannot use it on storage that isn’t direct connected to the machine. In order to bypass this limitation and b

I set up Microsoft’s parental controls on someone’s account a while back and I manage it for her. Last night, she was panicking because she couldn’t access the internet. At first, I assumed it was due to time limits I might have set and forgotten about. But no,it turns out Microsoft simply decided to block Chrome, with no notification, no email, nothing. Just a silent update that made me scramble . Why cant there be any freaking consistency. Come on man! This is day 18 of #10

Had to use a verified LinkedIn profile to continue using the Action1 Free plan. What the actual fuck, they do a full scanning of your passport and then profile photos of you in order to verify. Felt like I was going through border patrol. We live in a world . This is day 17 of #100DaysToOffload

I don’t know why there are so many incompetent IT people, especially in Israel. But there are. Here’s a quick documentation of what happened. My friend reached out and said that his Surface Pro with Snapdragon couldn’t be upgraded to Windows 11 Pro for Active Directory. I thought that made no sense. I went in and tried activating Windows 11 Pro by using the Generic key and then MAS and hardware ID. That didn’t work. So, I asked on the Mas if this was an issue with hardware, ID, or

I’ve been trying to get Hoarder, now called Karakeep, up and running on my Raspberry Pi for months. Every few months, I would go in and try to get ChatGPT or Gemini to code the correct YAML file for Docker. I couldn’t get it to work, and no one else seemed to be able to get it to work either. Finally, after much effort, I got it working two days ago, and it’s been running perfectly. Here is the YAML file that you can use to install on your Raspberry Pi, specifically with CasaOS, in ord

I was under the impression this was common knowledge but apparently not. So here is how I no longer set 50 thousand calendar reminders, and still forget and get charged by my free trials.The trick is virtual credit cards. You can use any virtual credit card but I will be showing you how I do it using Privacy.com. For full transparency this is using my referral link. First, create an account at Privacy.com. You will have to go ahead and connect a funding source. Then create a new card and s

I’ve been going down a rabbit hole trying to find a good way to do transcription on Windows so I could do voice-to-text on Windows using local AI processing. Local processing is cool since it doesn’t destroy our environment ….. as much XD. After a bit of searching I found this program called Vibe and I like it. It’s not perfect but it’s pretty damn good. He provides great documentation and direct installers for a bunch of models. It provides a medium model on startup, which is great,

Windows 10 going out of support is gonna be a shitshow. I don’t even know how to communicate with friends and family, that are going to miss the boat that the time is now to figure out what the plan is.

So here is warning number one of many, Windows 10 wont be supported past October so if your on 10 reach out for your options. This is day 12 of #100

More and more WordPress shit seems to hit the fan, from constant founder drama, to everything being broken after updates, to everything needing to a be a plugin. Well here comes my icing on the cake that pushed me to doing a test version on Ghost. Yesterday I logged to my WordPress dashboard for this site, and I saw that Jetpack had downgraded me to a free tier, which disables both social sharing and search. The “listed reason” why was because I am now a commercial site. Apparently if
