@nprofile…9pad @nprofile…kmk4 From about 1999 to 2012 I hosted everything at home. Shoutcast (blankradio.com rip) and installed plex on my nas. Also had a bbs, ftp, web and irc server (off and on for IRC). During that time I also was the admin for the lamp servers at a credit union. When I finally got back out on the road for work, I retried from server administration and coding. I played around with umbrel and casa and it was ptsd. Still over it, I reckon. I'm ok paying others to handle it.

@nprofile…kmk4 Every time I leave alt-text off an image, some lonely twat will set down the Mountain Dew long enough to scold me for not considering the blind in my posts. With the unicode, this supposedly breaks text to speech. When the author of Mastodon released the first official client, thin on features, this same group of interlosers ganged up on the author, ad hominem, for not including everything for everyone, everywhere all at once, for free.

@nprofile…3tp7 ACAB! Fkn pigs! Then again, fkn perv! Considering the shroud was “discovered” over a thousand years after he would have naturally died, and bears the image of the caucasian depiction of JC, of course it’s a fraud.

No shot. Was a clinic. But she set me up with a specialist who specifically deals with sciatica. June 17 I am going in and they will do a shot under CT to hi the exact right area.

BHS in TJ ended with them getting arrested for not stopping their set in time for the Red Hot Chili Peppers and throwing a jug of water at the sound board, causing a small riot in the venue.

We went down to just listen from outside and see if we could sneak in, but the gig was cancelled, which King Coffey later told me was over payment. That was 87/88.

I’ve held on to that ticket stub like it was proof that night really happened. We didn’t have tickets for the 2nd night, which turned put to be a good call. BHS got their set cut by the sound guys, stuff was thrown by Gibby, arrests were made outside the club. I bet they talk about this in their upcoming documentary. They were no longer on the bill the 2nd night. I’d neber seem the club that packed. RHCP just got their new guitarist after the previous one overdosed. They were HUGE in San Diego.

A friend of mine sent me this flyer from a gig we went to. First time I’d seen Butthole Surfers. Not the first time I’d tried to see them, but the first time it actually happened. Blew our shroomed minds wide open. Packed house at the craziest club I have ever been to. Iguanas was in Tijuana, 5 minute walk from the border. We could drink beers at 18 and the minimal security made it like lord of the flies. RHCP were also at peak that night, ready to begin their quick plummet into mediocrity.

Holy fucking shit is it ever tiring hearing people cry about billionaires. You’d probably be just as pathetic without their interference. These are the same people who blamed ‘boomers’ for everything 10 years ago. Quite likely that without boomers or billionaires that your life would still suck and you’d find another convenient scapegoat. I’ve yet to see one clear headed, logical plan on how to counter the evil billionaires. Just a LOT of whining and finger pointing. Par for the course.

@nprofile…7avl I just got called a “pretentious cunt” by a polish kid in the fesshole topic! Too funny. The conspiracy runs deep on Mastodon.

It's funny af that they are not letting Jaydee Vancypants back to the Iranian talks. Sending Jared Kushner over the VP is next level slag.

@nprofile…kmk4 offer the old version for people with older devices And/or a reduced cost upgrade to the newer/better version with knowledge that deprecation will eventually make the older app unusable, albeit out of your control.

@nprofile…kmk4 Continued: the old shareware model was the best. Give the user enough time to decide if they are going to like and depend on the software, then limit functionality for a fair payment. Author emails you unique unlock key and you're good to go. Of course that doesn't squeeze every last drop of blood from the user, so now ppl shamelessly make their apps a subscription. I won't do it. People once made a living writing software without having to rip people off. It's just greed.

@nprofile…kmk4 I want to pay once. Period. And own what I bought. If there's a major overhaul, offer a respectable upgrade price. For nearly every piece of software in existence there is a free, less polished version. I'll use that before I let anyone pick my pockets with any kind of pay to play setup. I may not be the best case study at 55 years old and done with all the bullshit. Function over fashion. Give me a good working piece of software and a donate button and you'll get my money.

@nprofile…kmk4 To feel important, I suppose. I've carried the same contacts list from phone to phone, platform to platform, for almost 15 years. Never once have I felt the built in contacts app lacked anything or feel a need to complain about the phone number formatting. Slow day at the Daring Fireball blog idea desk. Or, in his case, slow day at the Daring Fireball idea subscription app.
I'll pay outright for apps I use a lot and like. I will never pay a subscription. Ever.

@nprofile…kmk4 That contacts app he suggests is 8 bucks a MONTH! Crazy. Subscriptions have ruined everything.

@nprofile…xvdg @nprofile…3e6m Greg did not like Butthole Surfers. He liked show tunes and cartoon music. In particular, The Animaniacs. Which seems fitting… at the time and in hindsight. He taught me a lot about Token Ring networks, which I never once had to deal with in my entire career. But I was fkn ready to drop knowledge when the time came.
This is how I know you are not Greg! #buttholesurfers

@nprofile…3e6m The only Greg I ever knew had an infatuation with mini horses. Like, do not let Greg be alone with mini horses. He uploaded a grip of horse porn to my bbs that were on there for hours before I could get home and delete them. Last I heard of him, he met a mini horse loving girl on Usenet and was moving to North Carolina to be with her. That was like 1995 or so. I can only assume he’s imprisoned somehwere for violating a mini horse.

I've waited months for this moment. An exceptionally long German winter. The land with no light. My soul defrosts!

Update: no jacuzzi room (someone actually paid the top price for the room), but the hotel has a spa that I seem to be the only person who is willing to flip the 25€ to use. Weather isn’t beach ready today, but will be tomorrow… even if it means the wind sandblasts my nipples off. All I had today was a mini chorizo sando at the Madrid airport lounge in preparation to terrorize some tacos later. Have about an hour of work lined up tomorrow morning, then it’s go time. SLACK be with you.

You can ready anything about the Iran conflict without the mention of oil prices. Just in case there's still people wondering what this whole fuss is about.
What a joke. Oil. I MUST DRIVE MY CAR. KILL KILL!

2:52am: up and at em to get to my 6:30am flight to Dobbstown Spain, for a few days of work and sunshine. Will it be beach weather? Will I have the jacuzzi room? Will I step up and finally eat 10 tacos? These answers and more as the day progresses!

The point of this was to say that it’s weird that I think about this non-incident whenever I make my coffee. Brains are fkn weird that way. They sat right across from me and just peppered me with questions. Was super weird. Good english too. I don’t do anything top secret, but can’t really go blabbing about it either.

A while back, I was on working in Bavaria and had an encounter with 2 Austrian gals at the hotel I was staying at. They sat with me at the table in the breakfast room, introduced themselves as nursing students and asked me a whole slew of questions about my job. I answered as much as I could, then went off to work and never saw them again.
Now, whenever I stand in front of my home coffee machine to make my morning coffee, I am reminded of that morning when I was grilled by cute Austrian spies.
