Am I gonna have to pay for a vpn that actually lets me fake being outside the ‘states? I usually self host on a VM host to avoid incurring expenses, but it seems like that’s not really an option here. Seems like I might have to go for a AWS instance running PiVPN or something.
Yeah, that’s kind of what I was wondering. Turns out you can’t really do much useful with a self-hosted local VPN, but I like having the option of using one be something my VM host server provides.
I wanna try at some point, but my work schedule means I probably can’t make the time commitments.
Oh hey, I had some good results with Krita when I was still making digital art way back when. It’s been like a decade. I should get myself a new tablet.
Honestly one of these days I’d like to see one of these doohickeys be an actual refresh of the original hardware. Not really an economical or low-effort angle to take, but hell, you can still get Z80 (and their successors) pretty cheap.

I wish I could just keep using a GSM/CDMA phone from 20 years ago indefinitely sometimes.
I tried to run TF2 on a A4-3400 without a dedicated graphics card under Mint with Wine once like twelve years ago. It was…uh, not playable

The Simpsons: Hit and Run had a similar gag in one of the maps.
Not really having the option to not cope. Or not knowing how to actively choose to not cope. One of the two. For what it’s worth, Tolkein genuinely was on to something with this one.
This place is a message... and part of a system of messages... pay attention to it!
Sending this message was important to us. We considered (emphasis on 'considered') ourselves to be a powerful culture.
This place is not a place of honor... no highly esteemed deed is commemorated here... nothing valued is here.
What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us. This message is a warning about danger.
The danger is in a particular location... it increases towards a center... the center of danger is here... of a particular size and shape, and below us.
The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours.
The danger is to the body, and it can kill.
The form of the danger is an species of great apes.
The danger is unleashed only if you substantially disturb this place physically. This place is best shunned and left uninhabited.
Why would anyone believe anyone who just, like, claims they’re divinely ordained?

I’ve never had one, but I wish I would. Whole lot of dead relatives I want to hear from again, and yet…

Just gets sublimated into weirder and ultimately more harmful things. This is why I say everyone should be openly freaky. The fetish party crowd would never have an idea as dumb as trying to rules lawyer what counts as sex and come up with soaking
I miss Wesley Willis.
