about to reformat/reinstall my catalina-running big mac and opt in to big surveillance. how do i install nix without the stupid fucking --darwin-use-unencrypted-nix-store-volume hack?

how do i get more air conditioning in one room of my house than the others? do i have to go around and close all the vents in the other rooms an equal amount? i moved my servers in from the garage so they don't have to endure another 4 months of 40C+ and now my office is sweaty

man, my instagram was fire. can someone please suggest a replacement?

nevermind that if you storm the apple donut they will call men with 🔫 (no, not squirt guns) to come over and remove you.

I took this photo in the main SF Apple Store. Don't let anyone with valuables try to convince you they are anti-gun. They're only anti-your-gun.

other instances of apple's excessive wokeness-signalling: they will render your UTF-8 gun emoji as a squirt gun (something entirely different than a gun), because under the newspeak rules if you can't say "gun" in emoji then the concept of gun will become unthinkable and nobody will get shot anymore

apple is so woke now that the primary demographic that attends their WWDC conference is not included at all in their WWDC conference promotional header.

to be clear, i'm a fan of affirmative action to reduce inequality of opportunity; the status quo is unacceptable. i also think that this sort of highly performative wokeness is mostly ineffective in changing that status quo and is more pretension and value-communication (and, thus, meaningless brand marketing/positioning).

ads are cancer.

i wish all my switches and linux boxes would let me just plug all their ethernet ports together and automatically detect loops and bond appropriately et c. i can set them all to trunks, and add them all to bridges on linux, but it won't bond them (afaik it will do STP and shut one side down to prevent a loop) automagically if two are plugged in to the same switch.

just bought a 6028U-TRTP+ to replace my failing 12-bay 2U supermicro

if the new small imacs are any indication, the new large imacs are going to be fucking gorgeous.

putting this fxo/fxs pcie card in this box and moving the whole box upstairs made it super flaky. i wonder if it's the cheapo pbx card or if vacuuming the mobo hosed the ram or sth

lspci freezes the whole box and requires a hard power cycle, lol. (it still responds to pings, though, so maybe it's just userspace that died? whotf knows)

yes hello could you please recommend people for me to follow? i don't have enough fedi content.

ugh those cool flip-up 1U keyboard/monitor slide out trays are still $800 even though higher res, thinner monitors are $50 and keyboards are $10 and 1u metal trays are $50 now.

sent two FOIA requests for all records related to me to FBI and CBP today. this should be fun. wonder if i get denied on a technicality? or if they want $$$$ for time to assemble response?
