Welcome to my digital garage. (It’s just me. And the bird.) \> I’ve been here in my dreams. I’m just a guy wit...
>> Some smooth brains Nintendo struck gold with the original Switch, and instead of leaning on their “what-if-we” philosophy that has guided their console creation in the past, they decided to play it safe with the Switch 2. While it’s hard to blame them for this approach, I’ve gotta say, I’m so tired of all the best technology in the world becoming so mundane and boring. Phones, smartwatches,…
>> Gorgeous Tux and sick Arch I won’t say that I’m tech illiterate, but I have no professional experience using a computer. All of my knowledge comes from trying new hobbies that require tools, that I don’t know how to use, until the tools themselves become a hobby. Linux was that tool that became a hobby. Back in 2019, I wanted a media server. I was reading how Windows was trash for servers for a…
>> An old, but gold find ncase.com THE GAME OF TRUST You have one choice. In front of you is a machine: if you put a coin in the machine, the other player gets three coins – and vice versa. You both can either choose to COOPERATE (put in coin), or CHEAT (don't put in coin). An excellent game, that shows you the psychology of trust. /squawk by untitled_operator Reply by email
>> Fucking- sick- ass- keep-it-simple-stupid ereader (and everyday carry) This thing has single-handedly allowed me to read wherever I go. I also have a kobo, but reading on that while you're waiting in a long line somewhere just isn't possible if you don't have a bag on you. It's called the Xteink X4 Size: 114mm × 69mm × 5.9mm (4.49in × 2.72in × 0.23in) This thing just attaches to my phone. You…
>> Beautiful community driven maps I've begun moving to add more privacy, or at least some more anonymity, but something that has been a pain point has been navigation. I don't want to use google. I don't want to use Apple. After some searching I found out about OpenStreetMaps and fell in love with the concept. It's a massive project that is made by the community and hobby map developers. It even…
Late to the party, but I still wanted to share my pixel bear to join in the fun. Thank you so much, Sylvia , for all the fun I had messing with pixel art for the first time! >> cute Squawkin' pixel bear May you all have a Merry Bear Festival ! /squawk by untitled_operator Reply by email
I’ve talked about getting into reading recently. I’ve never been a fan of physical books. I hate how finicky the pages are. They always seem to flail about, and if you let go of the page you’re on, the book’s pages close as an act of rebellion. This of course isn’t an issue for physically large books, but I’m not reading many of those these days. The main thing that made it feel accessible to…
I am not an art major. I’m actually at the very beginning of a networking/programming degree. Outside of some scribbles on paper, or some experimental points of time in middle school, I can’t say that I have ever created art in a serious manner. So, when I produced a final project, I have to say, I’m pretty proud of what I was able to accomplish. The project requirements were to choose an artist…
>> Me looking at light curiously The fundamental principle of human curiosity is deeply embedded within us. To varying degrees, each and every one of us has applied this curiosity in the quest for knowledge. Even the simple thought of "How do I change the channel and continue being a fat-ass without having to get up?" led to the creation of the TV remote. History is built on three specific…
>> 3 pillars of internet self-hosting I love music so god damn much. Ten years ago, I even picked up the guitar just to pretend I had something to contribute to the art form. So, the thought of creating a musical experience for others is basically the ultimate dream for me. That’s when I started looking into internet radio. Taking the Plunge Down the Rabbit Hole. So, where did that plunge lead me…
