WHY THE FUCK DO LEATHER SOCKS EXIST?! What problem does this solve, dry feet?

Seedy? I think you are reading more into the socks than I am.

I want to redo my homelab setup. I’m probably going to relent and go x86 just because parts availability sucks here but those boards have low power draw, decent IO, small so you can design your own case easier, and I like the idea of keeping away from x86 if I can.

This thing is gonna run routing traffic and downloading shit and hosting my media etc. that means it’s ideal most of the time so low power draw matters more than a gaming pc would.

I’m also hesitant to use x86 chips for anything directly exposed to LAN. The backdoors in those things are crazy and I am just not skilled enough to do much about them.

I never got them. Blood tastes metallic.

Me: “fucking tariffs. I’ll never an Orion O6 now. Oh well.” Amazon: “hey, we have a close enough knockoff from orange pi now. It’s cheaper, uses almost exactly the same chip, and available in the US right now.”

-glares- God fucking damnit!

Ugh, I’m 40 now and finally having this problem I have big gaps in my teeth so nothing ever get stuck there thanks to my divorced parents fighting over who pays for braces and it just never getting done.

Now I bleed from this one spot under my gums all the time. It’s not even in a hard to reach place. My body just decided one day “the one, right there, blow it”.

Dentist doesn’t see an infection or anything, I’ve never had a cavity before and still don’t. But time gets us all I guess.

I am so sick of tasting metal all the time!

It’s almost like the most hated man in New York endorsing his opponent helped him in some way.

Apply that analysis to the mustard argument in the post. It’s ridiculous. Nobody is using food stamps to buy a Porsche. If their life is made a little better because an extra bit of my tax dollars went into fancy mustard I’d consider that nothing short of a bargain.

That argument is literally gatekeeping fucking mustard. If you can’t spring for the grey poupon then being that much stingier with your taxes is not going to be enough to solve your problem anyways. You just want others to suffer because you suffer, which harkens back to my original point that is mental illness.

Im leaning into it because arch linux on arm stuff is a joke compared to the x86 mainstream stuff. Fedora treats ARM as an equal.

Dude I just discovered fedoras dnf rollback feature and I about shit myself.

Selinux makes me homicidal and fedora always seems to be choking on….something. But it’s the most updated stable thing I can find.

The AUR is irresponsible. Put a wili entry showing how to did something. Don’t just write a script and post it that you KNOW nobody is actually going to comb over.

I fall pretty squarely into the script kiddie category compared to a lot of people on here and arch wikis has been an incredibly valuable resource.

“I want to do X like Y. Surely someone much of done this by now.” Arch wiki: “funny you should mention that. Here is free documentation that is pretty up to date, has lots of detail and examples, but don’t drown you.”

Seriously, I look at red hat and debian documentation and little ADHD brain hamster just strokes the fuck out on his wheel. Arch wiki is a comfortable ride. It’s just…digestible if that makes any sense.

No that’s been done to death. I think they’ll move on to bombing the city or poisoning the water or some other horrible thing.

Arch has glorious documentation. That is literally the only thing that blows me away about it.

I’m more likely to find humans on grindr than Reddit at this point.

Im boxing with fedora at the moment myself. I hate that arch was easier.

Oh yes, the classic “the poor people are secretly happy and that bothers me” argument. It’s like a cat call for stupid people. The whole point of it is to say “you’re not allowed to have anything remotely nice because I consider myself better than you.”

It’s mental illness made into a political platform.

I see. What tech company should have worked for that would have treated them differently?

It doesn’t matter. At this point resistance is a responsibility. They will lie and make shit up either way so challenge them while you still can.

I mean, in 2025 it’s basically a preview. It’s gone from to satire to prophecy.
