I was speaking with one of my best friends who is quite technical currently taking Comp-SCI and while I was showing him my FreshRSS instance on my Rasberry Pi, he noted that nobody else uses RSS besides me. Well let’s get started with why you are stupid for not using an RSS reader. You probably are already using it First off, most people are probably using RSS without realizing it as...
I have recently been overwhelming myself with how many things I want to talk about, and trying to formulate a good method on how to break up said subjects.Some things that have come up are: An In depth look at Lightroom performance issues persistent in 2024 Carrd the best kept website building secret Macbooks the laptop to beat The promise of ARM/ actual Windows laptops not portable desktops with...

Haven’t slept well in weeks. My thoughts are complete chaos right now so here goes.
I was having a conversation with my previous boss/good friend. He’s an old school extremely capable computer technician but too busy to keep up with most of the current internet drama. Anyways here is the conversation that sparked this post.

A follow up to the previous post. A friend messaged me on WhatsApp. Express VPN wouldn’t open or install the latest update. First hurdle: multiple remote login attempts using both RustDesk and AnyDesk, but both were blocked by his college wifi network—great security, I guess. Finally, I managed to use his phone’s hotspot to remote in. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several...
Last week I did close to 18 hrs of free work for multiple people. Two weeks ago I did 20 hrs of free web design , it was for a good friend . I wasn’t upset about it until I realized based on trying to be in touch with them that I was putting significantly more effort into there project then they were. This week I got asked a question to help someone save $300 four times in a row and even my...
After deleting all my mainstream tech news blogs from my RSS reader, mainly due to being tired of seeing the same content repeatedly, I’ve been exploring the indie web more. Lately, I’ve been contemplating how to implement slash pages, considering that I already have similar features on Techreccs. I’m unsure whether I should redesign the website layout to meet the slash standards or simply stick...
Been a while since I posted, so let’s get up to speed. Docker Desktop Issues I ran into an issue where Docker Desktop on Windows doesn’t remove host file changes on uninstall, so that’s fun. If you run into localhost issues, that’s why. This was reported on GitHub in 2019 and still hasn’t been fixed. Win 11 LTSC Windows 11 LTSC, i.e., the non-bloated way an OS should...
WhatsApp has got to be the single most infuriating piece of software I interact with on a daily basis. Why the fuck would I want a auto reply sent to someone I just messaged. Must be a hard computer science problem to have a if statement in your code to not send an auto replay to someone message in the last specific time period. No I cant leave because of the network effect but thanks.I swear to...
