A few years ago, Google declared that every cat picture and recipe blog needed to be served over TLS or it was worthless, and now nearly 2/3 of the internet relies on a single entity to issue and renew their certificates.
Sometimes that thought keeps me up at night.

dog damn do some people love flexing their years of experience to mansplain their confidently-incorrect knowledge of tech in such a way that makes the intention seem like it's not gaslighting me even though that's what they're doing.
sprinkle in some slight smile and pensive emojis to top it off.

Pic of Vinnie from Biker Mice From Mars. Pretty sure he was one of my first childhood crushes. Wanted to do more with it but I was tired of looking at it.

so bazzite was a no go. which honestly was not a loss there considering it literally kept hard-freezing for like a minute at a time whenever trying to load steamvr.
tried endeavour as well. still no go.
no matter which distro or base flavor i use, the headset just won't have any display output.

been considering testing/slapping bazzite on the capture pc since it's low risk (nothing's ever done on that pc besides stream games now). might try that since some stuff with mint is just held back *too* aggressively and so it might just not be usable for vr like other distros.

nice to see in the last couple years that i stopped using windows that i voicemeeter is not only as obtuse and confusing as ever but now it just doesn't work and blows out my ears with loud noise after a couppe restarts so that's cool i guess

Werewolf wants some discreet anon fun so he's getting his dick sucked at a glory hole and it's so good he accidently transforms and gets his knot stuck in the hole and then the guy on the other side ends up bringing in a big crowd to come see and play with the big werewolf dick.

MASH is one of the greatest shows ever made. It centers a group of highly skilled people who are scared to be there, who hate the war that is happening there, and who will do their damnedest to help every single person they can for so long as they're suck there.
i cannot tell you how often i think back to MASH when writing. that ability to walk the line between humor and the darkest of humanity, yet never truly cross over into making light of it OR hopelessness--even though it toys with those things, too--is the line i strive for

little bit concerning my 3d printer keeps being like "there's a problem with the extruder" and when i go to say "it's fine try again" it's like, set to 140C instead of 250C, and trying to push filament through, and keeps trying over and over and over at 140C...? this was never a problem before...
