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. Redacted, [5/13/2024 10:35 PM] In the end beeper is rubbish Redacted, [5/13/2024 10:36 PM] No wonder they dropped the $10 per month Redacted...
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...
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...

Been building a WordPress site for a friend and trying to learn Gutenberg. Yes, Gutenberg should be simple but I have been using WordPress for years and mainly use Elementor. Well, for the site before this, I tried working with Elementor on WordPress 6+ and they do not want you to use another site builder anymore. No matter what I did they kept...
Life’s been really hard lately both personally and work-wise. I haven’t had much drive to do much or post here, to be honest. On a more positive note, I did play through Bioshock Infinite again. BI has a special place in my heart. It was the first FPS game I ever bought on my first ever laptop that I bought. My first laptop was a 17-inch Toshiba with an AMD A8. It was prob running at...
