terrible worthless asshole

How much would an assassin to kill you cost? 🤔

Anyway, best to refuse this offer.

Fuck!

Better question is what 4 letter words I can even remember. Let’s see…

fuck, lock, cock, yiff, bear, fair, mare, fare, Mars, SARS, cars, arse, bars, tree, pine, mine, dime, fine, lime, blue, moon, soon, tone, moan, loan, lawn, down, fawn, leek, meme, joke, yolk, dick, lick, sick, tick, kick, ball, mall, fall, chip, ship, spin, meat, meet, porn, corn, horn, burn, role, play, star, trek, mono, long, song, dong, monk, duck, luck, suck, rack, deck, card, nano, pico, mini, cake, sake, lake, aqua, cyan, Arch, lore, vore, fart, dart, mart, sour, hour, four,…

There’s probably a website for that, what am I doing. I’ll go with Mars Arch.

Interesting how my brain picks the words.

Edit: Removed duplicate word

Edit 2: Remembered a better candidate

So, what are you in prison for?

I don’t quite remember, but sort of like… 8 hours ago while traveling go work in a company bus.

The driver was going quite fast and didn’t notice a speed bump. Shortly, he became a pilot.

Ah fuck it, lets simplify it. 5 seconds ago. There you go.

Oh wow, those really exist

Termux on Android.

I’ve got some videos on my phone I might want to watch on random computers, so I serve them up with NGINX. I’ve got wget-created mirrors of some old websites on my phone, so I serve them up with NGINX. Other files I may want to move out from my phone to untrusted computers on the network can too be served up simply by NGINX.
I’ve got the full Wikipedia zim file from Kiwix on my Micro SD card, so I run kiwix-serve (behind NGINX).
I’ve got all the music on my phone, naturally the phone is then running my Navidrome server (behind NGINX).
Of course, I may want to manage this from a computer, so it’s running SSH server.
My phone is always connected to VPN and uses NextDNS, naturally I may want to use this with other computers, but I can’t install software to computers I don’t own (I mean, I can, but … it would be disliked), naturally it is then running Tiniproxy HTTP proxy server.
Some desktop GUI apps can be useful on a phone too. noaa-apt, Kid3, Audacity, desktop Firefox, Handbrake because I am too dumb for ffmpeg, so I run XFCE DE on it. Naturally, I can access it from a computer (I know) too, after all it’s accessed via a VNC server.
Am I stupid enough to expose something using HTTP protocol running on my phone to the internet? Of course I am! I can use cloudflared.
Do I want to encrypt a file? I can use GPG.
Do I want to create a compressed archive? I’ve got TAr and GZip.
Do I want to browse Gopher? I’ve got Lynx.
SSH or telnet somewhere? The clients are there.

I prefer optical media if possible. Should survive a few decades, assuming good quality discs.

But I’d much rather use LTO tape if it wasn’t so expensive to get the drive.

Yes, I believe those images are removable easily. I am pretty sure I’ve read somewhere about purging such orphaned images, but I am not sure where that was.

Maybe not really the cheapest. I’ve got that for fun and it sounds awful. There’s a lot of static noise. But hey, for 60¢ with free shipping…

Oh, hell. Opus is totally awesome.

On my phone music takes up 14.95GB for 1,132 songs which on average is around 13.5MB per song. Great majority of it is 320K MP3s, but it is all over the place. The worst one is 32K AAC, and the best one is 24-bit 96kHz FLAC.

I don’t know if it fits, but congrats, you’ve just reached the end of the internet. There’s nothing more to see.

I have once owned wireless earbuds. It was cool to have free head, but I was too lazy to keep recharging them like every week or so. They finally died. Or at least the case did. I have replaced the charging chip in it, but it only extended the lifespan by a few weeks. It’s now unable to charge both earbuds at once. Still, better than self-heating short-circuited case.

I just don’t like them overall. Battery, latency, audio cuts after a bit of silence (power saving), and at the end, more waste.

I still use Bluetooth audio, but differently. With my laptop. When working on laptop, I have my earphones connected to it. But it is more convenient to play music on my phone, so I connect my phone to laptop for audio as well. In fact, I feel like the sound card in my laptop sounds a bit better than my phone, and with laptop I can use aptX HD.

Also when connected, they may show battery percentage on your phone. But the ones I had didn’t really understand percentage.
100% = full
90% = half discharged
80% = consider recharging
70% = dead in a few minutes

But I’m not a developer (at least not yet…maybe later).

We can do it! Or at least you can, I am too dumb.

Nah, font still won’t have the real feel. Neither the sound. And if I want to print in high DPI with my printer (HP PSC1315), it takes 20 minutes per A4 page.

NextDNS gives me more control. It can do stuff like ad blocking, tracker blocking and rewrites (same as /etc/hosts). It has many blocklists available.

Disadvantage is limit of 300,000 DNS queries/month on the free account, but it’s enough for personal use.

However, where DoT or DoH isn’t available, I still use 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare).
