The thing that I love about stoner rock is that it goes against the annoying part of me that tries to make music into an academic pursuit. It resists over analysis and just says "here's a real heavy groove to play loud as fuck and it's gonna feel great".

Truckfighters is a perfect example of the genre. They really only have 5 or 6 songs, but that guitar just feels so good to crank to max volume. #music

I've been working towards setting up a Pihole server on my network. If you don't know, Pihole is a server that lives on your network, intercepts requests for ad contents, and basically discards them. The end result is that any device on your network can be ad-free, without plug-ins, regardless of what app you're using.

The concept has me thinking: is there any project out there that does the same for identity tracking stuff?

I'm actually amazed at how well my #Linux transition has gone. My laptop (an ASUS FA617NS) has switchable graphics, which has historically been a nightmare for me even on Windows. But after installing OpenSUSE Tumbleweed it just works! The only trick was that I could not install Steam from Flatpak and had to do it from zypper instead. Apparently something about the fact that Flatpak apps are containerized means fancy hardware setups tend to break them.

Driving behind an SUV with license plate HYAENID: "Oh, they must be a biologist!"

There's a rainbow hyena bumper sticker with a goofy face on the back: "Oh they must be queer and kinda silly!"

There's a WPI sticker on the window: "Ah. Furry."
