Every time my fucking 5Ghz radio goes down it reminds me of how little I know about routers and networking. #OpenWrt is super cool software and I love using it, but sometimes I just want my internet to work. 😆
Might be a silly question, but I'm running #OpenWrt on my router and I have a radio that's unused. Is there any practical use for it other than providing more silly and fucked up access point names in my neighborhood? #networking
Bottom surgery, as happy and as privileged as I am to have it, is pretty brutal to recover from. Respect to folks who are on the other side; some of it just plain sucks. 😩 #transgender #surgery
So we all know DRM is shit, but Netflix has all the Star Trek I want. 😬 Is it worse to use Google Chrome JUST for Netflix? Or install all the plugins and enable DRM for Firefox? Feels like the second since anything Google is pretty intrusive.. #privacy #quitgoogle

2018 was the year I concluded that any system whose purpose is to measure, capture, and monetize human attention is immoral and inevitably leads to the erosion of the commons and society itself. In 2019 I'm committed to helping dismantle these systems by all possible means.
Concretely this means supporting nonprofit alternatives like mastodon, blocking all ad tracking (sorry, people whose livelihoods have been captured by that industry), and doing whatever most damages the attention industry.
Every time I use {x,y} in bash, it feels like magic.

Ugh.. "We didn't start the fire" has been stuck in my head for almost two days..
It's a blessing. That song fucking rules.
If you have the luxury of using a gym, put your fucking equipment away! It builds goodwill with your peers and helps shave off time when people are looking for shit they need. Don't be a dick! #Fitness #Weightlifting
Got my Nextcloud Contacts / Calendar synced with my phone finally! Going to demo it out for a bit, then can finally delete all things Google!
Righteous.
Two years ago I probably couldn't cut a bell pepper. Now, I usually cook twice a day and I'm unbelievably excited for a new dutch oven, hehe. Neat to look at progress, but then again, I guess I'm just becoming a fucking adult. #Cooking

In case you missed it:
The Brave web browser is funded by venture capital and sells advertising space to replace the ads it blocks.
Here's their ad-sales site:
https://basicattentiontoken.org/
"funded by Founders Fund, Foundation Capital, Propel Venture Partners, Pantera Capital, DCG, Danhua Capital, and Huiyin Blockchain Venture among others."
You might want to consider other options if you still use #Brave.

Colemak is the shit. I'm already typing at .563541 WPM! #Typing
Being unable to use Firefox vim bindings on Google app pages for work is really chapping my ass.
My day was going real shitty and then I got a Discover card offer in the mail. Y'all always know how to cheer me up!
Thank you past me for writing a script to set up everything I need for Fedora. Not having to remember what you need kicks ass.
Always feels good when you remember to stop yourself before diving into a critical thinking rabbit hole. Usually it's been done and then YOU GET THAT SHIT FO FREE
