A small correction to this, your friends don't really like you due to any desirable attribute you have, its not an exchange process. They like you for your you-ness.

Think about a friend, what is it you like about them? I think you will find that it's not a series of attributes, but a rather unquantifiable them ness - you like the fact they are uniquely them, this is how you are seen as well. You're enough.

Is it? If you've got `PasswordAuthentication` disabled, only allow public key logins and keep your system up to date. Honest question.

I self host my email ( docker-mailserver ) and host my personal website on an old laptop with a static IP. Have done for years now without issue.

I've got the year on a clock face here https://clock.mohiohio.com. I chose summer solstice for 12pm and winter solstice for 12am.

I built this so that I would stop expecting winter to end soon after winter solstice, no my friend, the night is just getting started.

( I'm in the southern hemisphere btw if you are seeing am instead of pm that'll be why )

When you hear Zizek talk about ideology this is what he means. The ideology of capitalism influences us in certain ways, such as desiring to capitalize off our audience, the goal subtly shifts to increasing metrics such as readers, likes, shares.

What really changed about blogging is that people started to care about these metrics more and more. In the early internet one wrote a blog post without really expecting anyone to read it! ( although someone stumbling upon it was paradoxically more likely before we switched to social media platforms etc ) As such I'd argue the author wrote more authentically.

Metric Time 3 years ago

Speaking of different clocks. Here is the year on a clock face. 12pm is summer solstice, 12am is winter solstice. https://clock.mohiohio.com ( I'm in the southern hemisphere so it might be the wrong way around if you aren't. I need to fix that.)

I haven't attempted automated identification but I'd be keen to. Not sure where to start with that at the moment

I've attempted to play through BOTW a couple times and ended up giving up due to weapons breaking, endless shrines, generally rather boring gameplay. The hype here is fascinating. I guess nostalgia and liking what everyone else says they like is a powerful thing. I just finished Horizon Zero Dawn, which I found to be a far superior open world game, the graphics alone are jaw dropping, the gameplay is exciting, quite an incredible production. I'm curious if any of The Zelda fans here have played it?

Moreover, running Asahi is perfectly legal because Apple formally allows booting non-macOS operating systems on their Apple Silicon platform.

How nice of Apple. #snarc
