I had a guy putting tires on one of our heavy trucks and I went out in the yard to see how he was making out just as I hear buppa-buppa-buppa-fuck!

He’s broken off a 7/8" wheel stud with his fucking 1" air gun, putting the over-nut on and ugga-duggaing the fuck out of it for some goddamn reason. Shrugs his shoulders and tells me it must have been broken already (it wasn’t, break was shiny all the way through). He’s got another one broken off on the ground beside him. Asks me if it’s ok with 8 out of 10 (on duallies, ffs). I send him home and take the drums off and pound out the studs.

It’s too damn often where I spend just as much time fixing mechanic’s fuckups as I would have to do it myself. Had a Deere mechanic do some insurance-funded work on a combine I blew up so we’d get warranty, I swear he didn’t own a torque wrench. Had to tear it down and re-torque nearly every bolt.

I used to shit like every two to three days, especially if I were out backpacking. Now it’s more like daily.

Did she shoot herself in the back of the head three times?

Some HP SFF with 8GB+ and maybe 6th gen or higher would suffice. Spend $100 on a used one which will come with a small SSD. Slap a used 4TB drive in it for storage. Install Debian, Docker and use the NC AIO config.

Don’t piss around with a Pi that’s going to be twice the price with a tiny SD card (that you shouldn’t use for volatile storage), no NVME or SATA, and a tenth of the processing power.

Most people should be using a VPN and not exposing these things to the internet at large via proxies or port forwards.

It has to be pretty old or weird to not be cached. And if it isn’t cached, you can paste a magnet link and the site will pull it down to your cloud storage so you can stream it either off the site or through your preferred client. But I can count on the thumbs of one hand how often I need to do that in a year.

DM cody_premiumize on Reddit for a trial code: https://www.reddit.com/r/Addons4Kodi/comments/1tbltsm/premiumize_trial_codes/

I’ve use Premiumize for what must be going on a decade now, usually get 2 years on the Black Friday sale. It’s been flawless. Buy credits to test it out until that sale and then see if you want to lock in.

I don’t want to think about the number of slop PRs this would generate.

Add Oracle.

And in what world does Palantir handle private data for health systems? Like, who the fuck is being greased there?

Synergizing good EQ through the single pane of glass.

The ones that survive for a few years are pretty hard to kill. If you stick to a brand like Cummins or Cat, they’re bulletproof.

Id never buy a diesel design with a single digit birthday.

If the cylinders get scrubbed and pitted, diesel is under high pressure when it’s injected, and will get forced down into the sump. You can usually tell if there’s heavy blow-by from the crankcase breathers. Usually it’s something like an intake leak that lets dirt into the intake. I’ve also seen cylinder cooler jets fail and a cylinder will melt enough to create a hole. You’ll notice that as a cold cylinder because now it isn’t detonating.

Diesels are born looking for new and expensive ways to die.

When I see that happening on a diesel, I start looking for fuel pushing past rings and getting into the oil.

Cheap chinese Android tablet that was supposedly 8-core 16Gb ram. It’s an absolute piece of shit, I think my S4 has more juice. It’s a paperweight now after the Ali seller disappeared.

Time to get a snake.

For the record, I fucking hate mice. Mice in the camper, mice in the truck headliners, mice in the barn, mice in the crawlspace, mice everywhere they can poke their dirty shit and piss asses so you find them in the spring by the stink.

Fuck mice.

There’s isn’t a fucking chance Samsung is giving up data mining to move to GOS.

Elon Musk would get his Communist Party membership first.

Probably got fresh fuel in the float bowl. I’ll often cycle a cup of fuel through and back into the tank after winter

I never could get Technitium working correctly, it’s like there’s some switch you need to throw to actually get it to accept requests. I posted that and had a couple of other say the same thing. I didn’t spend a lot of time with it, IMO a DNS server should serve requests out of the box.

Went back to Unbound on my OPNsense router.

The ending was worth it.

Good thing you spend last year sucking his little mushroom, Jensen.
