One nice thing about my rented house is that a previous owner (possibly my landlord) ran an ethernet from the lounge at the front right to the small bedroom at the back, upstairs. So, router > Deco node > ethernet > Deco node > 1gbps switch. Then I have three PCs upstairs wired to that switch, and they all get the full glory of our 1gbps fibre.
But, like, the rent is almost £1400 a month, so…

Hey, don’t shit on the font size. Mine is getting alarmingly large, and I’m only 46.

Is it a PC for playing 15 year old games? Because that’s still a gaming PC.

Arthur has a bottle of horse reviver that would beg to differ.

You ever think about how fucked up it is that the question most kids get asked most is “What do you want to be when you grow up”?
We all end up internalising our value to society by how we’ll strive to sell our time once we’re old enough to take part.
And yeah, it’s kinda fucked up.

There are a lot of hanging entries on the botched executions list, though in fairness, that’s because the list goes back several hundred years.
From what I can tell, you’ve got a 2/3 chance of a quick death by hanging. Rope too long, you’re getting decapitated. Rope long enough: quick neck break, goodnight sweetheart.
Rope too short you’re spending 20 minutes being strangled to death while people tug on your legs to try and break your neck.
Knowing my luck, I’d get the latter.
- Comment on Britain’s second richest person leaves UK for Monaco 2 weeks ago:
If they don’t want to pay higher (fairer) taxes, then it stands to reason that they almost certainly pay as little tax as they can. So what, exactly, will we miss when they leave?

After reading the news about Christa Pike, I found an article on Wikipedia listing a bunch of botched executions.
Since 2000, 5% of lethal injections have gone wrong in one way or another. That’s 17 botched injections in 26 years. That’s an unreasonably high failure rate for something that they have no intention of stopping.

As a radio nerd from the UK, my love of the BBC is rock solid. The radio, TV, and technology wings of the corporation are right up the with the NHS as something we should be rightly proud of.
But I get a few moments of genuine anxiety when I’m listening to 6Music while cooking dinner, and they go to the news. What will this bulletin’s headline be? Reform’s plans for if they ever get to form a government, or how many poor people landed on our shores in a small boat today? I get genuinely angry, to the point that I’m more like to roll the broadcast back by a few minutes so I can skip the news entirely. God bless BBC Sounds.

What can you personally do about what’s going on in Gaza? Can you personally assist the people who died in the flooding in Nepal?
If the answer to those questions is ’no’, then what value is there in actively sticking your face into the biting nest of news all day long?
We didn’t evolve to be able to tolerate that. At best, we’re able to comprehend the struggles of maybe 100 people around us. Not the entire planet’s worth of hardship.

I’ve decided to shake up my news gathering, and will now only take on board what my 75yo mother in law has read on Facebook.
What could go wrong?

I have Nextcloud running on my home server, hooked up to a 2tb drive. It’s kind of a pain the ass to have to maintain, but less of a pain in the ass than relying on Google.

- Comment on Walmart actually teaches their employees how to get food stamps 1 month ago:
I’ve never been the same since it clicked in me that welfare payments are used in a huge part to subsidise the businesses that refuse to pay more than minimum wage. So when the news trumpets that “$COMPANY has made record profits this year”, all I hear is a story about how much profit that company has made while also receiving an indirect government bailout.
