Just a heads up that the Smart virus is spreading to monitors, too. In a few years most monitors will be Smart.

I agree with the meme because damn I can’t wait to leave wherever I’m at and go home

But on a more serious level, why should you be leaving so quickly? It’s bad for the car to start it and then immediately take off.

If your gas engine car has been parked for a long time and has cooled from operating temps, you need to give it time to warm up first. Start the car and let it run for a minute. This allows time for fluids to cycle through your engine and radiator. Then you can drive, but don’t drive hard until your oil temp and coolant temp gauges rise to normal operating levels. Treat it like a workout for your body; you don’t go outside and then immediately begin sprinting. You want to start slow to warm up your muscles first.

Note: some modern cars indicate in the owner’s manual you can drive after 10 seconds from starting your car. You can listen to the manual since the engineers built your car and know it best. However, giving it sufficient time for fluids to flow through is always best. I always wait about a minute to play it safest.

Who needs money? I’m sitting on a gold mine of microplastics in me. We can create a parallel peer-to-peer microplastic economy.

But let’s just send our food over to them. Surely it will trickle down this time!

What's up, guys, gals, and non-binary pals? I switched from Windows 10 to Linux Mint back in December 2024, and I catalogued my experiences in these posts:

Just wanted to let you nerds know that everything has been running flawlessly. I can play any game I have, and none of my productivity is blocked. Doesn't matter whether it's all my ROMs I archived, my Steam games, GOG games, whatever. Linux plays them, and performance is fantastic. I don't play any anti-cheat games as the only one I do play periodically is Overwatch, and it runs perfect.

I can without a doubt now say that I will never go back to Windows. Should have switched years ago!

Build specs (the full list is in my first post linked above):

  • CPU 9800x3d
  • GPU RX 7900 XTX

Here are some issues I still can't solve on Linux Mint:

  • Can't control my GPU fans
  • Can't control my case fans
  • Can't bind my case fans to ramp up with GPU load

I've tried CoreCTRL and so many other solutions I read online, and none of them work. Problem for another day! So all I've done for now is increase the count of intake fans I have and set it to a good speed to move plenty of air (but also set my exhaust fans higher to help counter and ensure proper positive pressure airflow. I have too many fans to get the ideal balance of neutral air flow). GPU runs with OEM fan speeds.

Edit: There's a bug in pasting instance agnostic links, so I just added direct URLs to my instance posts.

 

It's Pi Hole. Everything's computer.

In the spirit of my previous post about switching to Linux Mint, I decided I'd go ahead and re-purpose my old computer.

Introducing: Apple MintBook Pro (13 inch, Mid 2012)

I think you nerds are gonna love it. I can actually do light gaming on this, too. Runs surprisingly fast, too!

Unlike modern day Apple, this MacBook was always fun to work on because you can easily swap parts without worrying about cloud activation locks, soldered RAM, glued batteries with self-destruct, etc. I dropped in a new aftermarket battery that took me five minutes to replace, upgraded the RAM, and slapped in a higher capacity SSD than what I originally bought this with back in the day.

My MintBook Pro runs fantastic, especially on Linux Mint 22.1 Xia with the new battery performance modes. Can't wait to use this more!

I tused to sit in a drawer as ewaste since the last possible compatible Mac OS version on this computer ran terrible and made my MacBook Pro unusable. Now that I upgraded to a MintBook Pro, the performance is incredible! Going to use this for when I need a computer away from my desk. Nice to have one for the couch that functions as an actual laptop!

Specs:

  • MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)
  • 13.3-in LED display at 1280x800 (LOL)
  • Intel i5-3210M @ 2.5 GHz
  • 8 GB DDR3 1600 MHz (we ballin' boys)
  • 1 TB SSD Samsung 850 EVO I think
  • CD/DVD burner (yass slay queen)
  • Intel HD Graphics 4000 (i can play Stardew Valley with so many frames, biggest frames ever)
  • This bad boy has the MagSafe power connector (my favorite back in the day) and firewire! Remember firewire?

Edit: Lemmy.world is having issues with uploading photos, so here's some links instead for two more pics:

 

I accidentally cut my thumb with a peeler while preparing lunch. I cleaned my work area, cleaned the wound, and put a bandage on my thumb to stop the bleeding. It didn’t stick to my skin very well, so I used another bandage to secure the bandage. They are a value brand I got on sale a few years ago, so I’m grateful for my economical decisions.

The cut stings a bit, but I’ll be okay. It’s my non-dominant hand.

I don’t believe this will prevent me from other activities I have planned for this weekend.
