Captain’s Log…

I guess Log Lady must have had children.

I already do that. Everything in the pile is toast.

I have such a huge pile of broken laptops, PCs, and other electronics that need to go to electronics recycling, but the only place that takes that kind of shit limits you to how much you can drop off at one time and it’s so fucking far it genuinely doesn’t make sense for me to be pissing away that much money going every month just to drop off one or two things.

…and the pile keeps growing.

There’s basically no real electronics recycling solutions in the USA and it fucking pisses me off.

Hey Lorax, I need help composting my trash boyfriend.

I paid for a lifetime pass like six years ago or more. It was definitely before Jellyfin was well known or well developed.

I’m probably gonna keep using it until they do the whole “lifetime is over” crap these kind of companies usually do.

I’ll at least have gotten my moneys worth.

Oh no.

I shut down my Immich server two months ago and moved it halfway across the state and did not have this issue.

All my files are on an internal disk.

I’d imagine it’s hard to find a web hosting service that isn’t an evil corporation.

That is indeed the issue at hand. The ones that aren’t evil corporations don’t have as much stability, which is enough for most people to be put off them. “High availability” has become the name of the game and consumers are fucking coddled babies. If a website doesn’t load instantly, they’ll just leave and not come back.

Even then, it doesn’t do much except reduce traffic to sites that are already paying for hosting. The people paying for hosting would have to find new hosts for it to mean anything. Amazon makes money directly from the people paying for hosting, not the people visiting the site.

So do we just … Not use the internet March 7th to 14th? Because Amazon makes the bulk of its money from Amazon Web Services which is like half the internet at this point.

Pretty sure Blahaj is on AWS even.

Amazon is basically impossible to “boycott” due to that.

Data always had his priorities straight.

I pooped… FOR THE GLORY OF THE EMPIRE.

It’s okay they have a spare character sheet ready to go…

Lessee here… Looks like they rolled a Klingon Fighter instead of a Human Paladin this time.

Worf, son of Mogh, huh? That’s a silly name.

Indeed, I have said for years the proliferation of such media with the only message being “humans are the real monsters” and telling people they need to be ready to shoot to kill friends and neighbors isn’t really healthy for the social fabric of society.

Guess I’ll just die then.

You can have mine I’m waiting for it to melt right now.

ROCm SOCm robots?

You’d think they’d go with something secure and at least use SFTP/FTPS or SCP.

It’s not my work to edit

It’s the internet and we’re leftists and this is like saying copyright law is a good thing and totally misunderstands how ideas grow and propagate. It’s like telling someone they can’t alter a meme.

It’s absolutely within your prerogative to edit it.

Plagiarism is necessary. Progress implies it. It embraces an author’s phrase, makes use of his expressions, erases a false idea, and replaces it with a better idea.
