FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360
I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.

There’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.
If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.


Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.
I actually just want them to make proton drive work on Linux. That’s all I need.
Nah you about got it.


That’s cool.
Proton drive Linux support when?


Oh man, Teams +Outlook + Office 365 + onedrive +Copilot?
So good for office shit. So bad for hood practices.
“Hey copilot I’m pretty sure I got an email asking if I had an SOP on X. Can you find that email and the SOP?”
“Copilot, using the recording of the teams meeting ‘Training from Vendor X’ and my notes on ‘Tool Y’ can you compile that into a FAQ sheet for us?”
Sure it misses stuff and is only so good because none of the data is private, but man that’s 90% of my work load for SOP making. Worth the $400 a year corporate pays for it.


We go to a buffet by the lake.
Its honestly really nice not having to Cook, but it does feel quintessentially american to make someone else do it.


Another one I didn’t know is gay.
Props to msm for not making it a big deal


Odd way to learn altman is gay.
Kinda shocked I’ve never seen a “worlds richest gay man!” Headline. That feels like low hanging fru-


I can see how you’d struggle to find youtubers who aren’t sucking Musks toes if you’re watching AI news people and Russell Brand.
But trust me, choosing to simply consume content that isn’t so negative is the quickest way to find rational people.
I personally really like Alex O’Connor right now. He does a lot of engagement with religious and philosophical type people. He’s an atheist who’s just genuinely trying to understand.


Not specifically. I just remember how much Thunderf00t made me an angry atheist for a time and how unpleasant that was mentally.
Looks like he’s on a hyper Musk hate train now. Which while based I’m sure his content is still very toxic to consume.
And I don’t wish that on anyone.


I think a real hobby would help with your mental health…


Playing with it locally is the best way to do it.
Ollama is great and believe it or not I think Googles Gemma is the best for local stuff right now.


I want to be called out.
I love philosophy stuff and often I’ll start to form an opinion that’s a scientific or even problematic.
My lovely fiancé will often call out potentially shitty thoughts and I re-evaluate them.
And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.
Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120
That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.
There’s also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it


To be fair, IF tumblr had added the tipping feature while porn was huge on the site, it might have became Onlyfans.
OF wasn’t always a porn site. It was trying to be a Patron that allowed adult content, but it became just a porn site.
I argue something similar would have happened to tumblr


I checked for you and good news!
He isn’t involved in much except investing in mobility aides and was apparently on the Planned Parenthood board for a while.
Quick search showed his most recent activity was being the single largest donor to Mark Kelly’s 2020 senate campaign.
Completely normal progressive liberal stuff.
What’s your technical skill?
You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo
My blog
thinkstoomuch.net
Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.
If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!

I think I followed this guide initially
