Note: archive.today kinda sucks.

I think it’s kinda better using quadlets, because I wrote some custom scripts, and quadlets made the process better. But podman compose is probably file too.

Rootless. The docker containers were rootful, hence the permission struggles.

Yes of course. Had to spend a couple of hours fixing permission related issues.

Just did that last weekend. Nothing to do anymore. 😢

Damn, I guess I’ll stick to the older release for now. Hopefully a viable alternative/fork comes around.

I have opened some before, but every single time, I’m just kind of awestruck that this thing actually works. It’s such a delicate dance of these rapidly moving components, it’s hard to even comprehend. SSDs are much much simpler in comparison.

Thanks, I’ll see if I can find anything.

Btw, shiny platter lol.

I guess I can try facebook marketplace. But then I’ll have to reactivate my account. The local food pantry does keep some hardware. (I once found a VGA cable there lol.) I’ll talk to them to see if they’ll accept it in this condition.

Thanks. Yeah, I would take the HDD of course. I don’t know if I’ll take it apart, but definitely not giving it away lol.

Also, in case someone wants the rest of the machine for any reason, I’m happy to send it over if they just pay for shipping.

Also, this is the only kind of thing that seems to get to them. Call them corrupt, they’ll revel in it. Call them ugly, that gets under their skin.

Username checks out.

I just did uv tool install yt-dlp[default] --with mutagen. Updates are handled automatically.

This is why I find it so funny when the US celebrates its independence day. Bitch, independence from who? Yourself? (I know from who, but I think it’s kinda bullshit. It’s like if the British committed genocide in India, and then declared independence. Kinda dilutes the meaning of the word.)

I’ve always been kinda technically motivated. The only reason I didn’t actually study computer science is that I had a great math teacher who made me fall in love with math. But I had it for a minor, and like to read stuff up from time to time. So, I guess I’m kinda in the grey area in regards to being a person in tech.

Anyway, I love tinkering with stuff, so I inevitably got into self hosting. Nowadays, I’ve even started maintaining some self hosted software.

In my culture, being a human and having humanity are two entirely separate things. So I think we agree for the most part.

They were born humans, but they’ve surely lost their humanity by now.

Not surprised. From what I’ve heard from pretty much every German person I’ve talked to, Bavaria is basically their Texas (read UP if you’re Indian, not sure about analogies for other countries).

I experienced it when I got to know that Richard Dawkins is a TERF.
