More of a Lurkey Turkey than a Tooty Fruity. I measure using GD&T for a living. It's fun!
I also like prog, metal, and indie tunes, video games, woodworking, and baking (breads, and pies).

I may DM you to let you know why I followed you, unless it seems obvious.
Hatchling. It's slow going, but I have a rough plan!
| Pronouns | they/them |
| Listening to | Down I Go, Night Verses |
| Playing | Armored Core: MoA, Bushido Blade |
| Reading | Blogs, Fediverse, Python Tutorial |
I feel like Mclusky and Future of the Left pack a lot into their lyrics that I just have no background to understand, and so I just love the lyrics superficially.
I welcome anyone to pick any FotL song and give me some context. I am less familiar with Mclusky, but I'd be happy to get some meaning behind Undress for Success.
And look, I know it's probably posted somewhere on the internet, but I'd rather it be a bit of a conversation. I don't get to talk about my weird music in person anymore.
@rooster that's a cool song! Makes me want to play Hotline Miami.
Sweet baby J, most of the track names on that album creep me out. How have I never heard TOBACCO?
@rooster I used to say it was Dirty White Boy, but I uhh need to abandon that one, I think.
I could go with Mississippi Queen. Such a jam!
I mean... I can't choose, but if I had to: Bad Feeling by Cobra Man. Any song by Cobra Man, probably.
Listened to a song that featured Brandon Boyd (Glitching Prisms by Night Verses), and dude sounds *different* these days. I haven't intentionally listened to Incubus in over 10 years, but it's neat to hear something fresh from him.
Night Verses started out as an instrumental band, started making albums when they added a singer to the lineup, and then went back to being an instrumental band. They have a really cool ambient prog-metal sound that pairs really well with Boyd's floatier techniques.
@rachel neat! So, in your case, is it because you PCoIP requires HDMI? And you're using USB for network access?
I've been curious about zero and thin clients for home use, but I never had the time to look into what I'd need. Hopefully, I will be going into IT/IS soon(ish) and will be able to kinda reclaim all of this as a hobby.
It's been probably 20 years since I built a computer. 😭
@davep I was expecting this was either going to be an excellent, timely roast of a terrible public figure, or an informative message about where pee is stored.
My expectations were not met, yet I am not disappointed.

Are software errors becoming part of dark patterns? Lately, error pages seem to show up when I'm doing something that I know the company I'm dealing with doesn't want.
I've tried to submit a health insurance claim for days, and I get all the way though the process to get the same error (it's not working and will be fixed soon.)
My phone just asked if I want it to (continue to) go through my personal stuff on behalf of my voice assistant. When I tapped "disable", I got a 403 error...
@rachel I mean, unless you want to, no need to explain. But, do you have a good explainer you could point me to?
I'm a little annoyed that I've taken a couple of IT classes and these haven't come up, yet, though they did cover some server hardware and management.
@rachel Damn! I just had to yank my own geek credentials. I've never heard of a PCoIP card...
So, how do they work? I get the gist of it from a couple of short articles (one being Teradici), but at which end do you use them? The workstation? And, if so, what is the rest of the workstation for? It looks like you just plug ethernet and monitors into them. Do they use RAM and the CPU?
I'm guessing so, to some extent. I saw one from AMD that combines the 2240 with graphics.
