have you tried using a vpn, e.g. tailscale?
extremely easy to set up, if you are a selfhost purist, there’s headscale as a direct alternative.
only really good at doing stuff in a personal workspace, not really made for exposing to the public internet, still very possible tho
equally intelligent, just in a different field. this way, you can always learn from another, while never competing with knowledge. this also means you both need to be curious and interested about each others stuff, which is just as important as intelligence.
vim is a text editor program which is the centerpiece of a lot of people’s workflow.
while vim itself alone is already impressively good, what makes it really stand out is the amount of Keybinds it has and how well you can use them.
hjkl for left up down right, for example. Sounds complicated, takes some getting used to, but after a while, it comes natural. hjkl in particular are great for navigation as that is where ur right hand is on the keyboard all the time, so no need to move it right hand to the arrow keys.
so a lot of other programs offer vim-like Keybinds to navigate or to do text stuff. This extension being one of them.
at the beginning of the month, I donate 5-10% of what I have in my bank account to whichever project I like to support atm. this month, a really nice symfonium update dropped and I like the direction KDE is going, so this is where my money will go to in 5 days
garden and landscape building
im a garden and landscape builder and my greatest pleasure in life is seeing things grow and progress.
a few months ago I connected with a group of incredibly nice people and seeing these people grow every day of their life, bringing in new people and change with them, that is my lifeline right now.
if I was to reincarnate, please let me be a hobbit in the 4th age.
made food yesterday, thought y’all should know.
desktop for home, laptop for not home, as it was intended.
pretzel, salami and nutella
my uncle, he’s a fellow of the Linux foundation
bike infrastructure.
I am very glad that most my mail stuff still goes through other providers, but I do use my domain’s mail for purposes related to my server and its services, and wow, this is unnerving…
when I was in 3rd grade, I had a gifted test, where after I flawlessly cleared 11th grade math, it was decided that I may go to a math gifted school. if my single mom can afford it. she couldn’t. I proceeded to develop type 2 bipolar disorder in 6 years of getting bullied bcs my classmates found out my mom couldn’t afford it. any capacity my brain had to learn has gone completely and I struggle with learning anything at all. now I have to live my life knowing that I had a natural talent for absolute greatness that could benefit all but this society of empowering the strong, and keeping the weak down, has drained any and all of it. but hey, of course I’m the weird guy for saying our priorisation of money over the benefit of all is bad.
i do, and together with nextcloud’s map application you get a full view of which image was taken where.
just feels really cool after a half decade to have so many pictures so far away, all at one glance.
also, in the current age of large machine learning models, it is scarily easy to use one of these to guess the location. it’s like the colkective hive mind of geoguesser players working together, so if one really wants to find ur location based on ur pictures, they really dont even need the metadata anymore
yeah i did. built a sand castle underwater with someone i really like and the water we breathed tasted like honey and cherry
minecraft and team fortress 2 for 3 years.
end of list.
when you don’t know something, saying shit like “despite my infinite wisdom, this eludes me” instead of “sorry i just dont know”
just stuff that stands out, gets a chuckle off of people, but is so obviously exaggerated that people know you don’t actually believe that you are infinitely wise.
and the greatest thing is that after a while you also incorporate these phrases when talking about/to others, so when you need help or something, you ask for their infinite wisdom.
(sry for the late answer im not used to getting interactions on social media lol)
a tumblr meme about replacing self deprecating humor with over the top self belief humor.
not even kidding, was doomscrolling, this jumped into my feed and burnt itself into my brain and 4 years of doing precisely that later, i’m better than ever and it’s also just a way to break the ice sometimes.
yeah i know, pretty anticlimactic.
i am considering adding large scale industrial sabotage at alphabet or blackrock as a forth item tho
actually, could work as a somewhat poetic sentence if you add a single comma
this, our home, is our life, us. our story.
