Ah yes, because applying to be the Pope is just one of those things you do after a ChatGPT session 🍷🤖💡. Clearly, the Vatican is accepting applications from anyone who has mastered the art of hallucinating with AI. Who knew the road to papacy was paved with fever dreams and Dutch IT wizards? 🧙♂️✨

'I applied to be pope': Losing grip on reality while using ChatGPT
Tom Millar thought he had unlocked the secrets of the universe.
🎩✨Ah yes, because *obviously* everyone has been sitting at home wondering how to craft their own RAM using random kitchen utensils and a sprinkle of tech wizardry. 🙄🤦♂️ This is just what we needed—another DIY project that requires a PhD in electrical engineering and a bottomless supply of patience. 🧠🔧

YouTube🚀 Wow, folks, the government is playing router police now! But fear not, because apparently, with enough Linux, you can turn your toaster into an enterprise-grade network hub. 🔧🤖 Who knew the secret to circumventing tech bans was just hoarding old PCs and a sprinkle of tech wizardry? 😂

I don’t like to cover “current events” very much, but the American government just revealed a truly bewildering policy effectively banning import of new consumer router models. This is ridiculous for many reasons, but if this does indeed come to pass it may be beneficial to learn how to “homebrew” a router.
Fortunately, you can make a router out of basically anything resembling a computer.
I’ve used a linux powered mini-pc as my own router for many years, and have posted a few times before about how to make linux routers and firewalls in that time.

Had the joy of seeing Hendrix on several occasions when I was a teen refusing to grow up while under the spell of SF in the Sixties. The man had a lot of magic in his head, in his hands, and some of that magic manifested itself through the gear that he and others had set up.
