On Repairing what Broke too Soon
In 2010 I bought my first wireless mouse, the Logitech LX8 Cordless. It was perhaps not the best, but it was a solid, weighty mouse that lasted well over ten years before it started showing any issues. When it finally wore out I was happy to see what looked to be a newer version of the same, the Logitech M510.
It was not the same. It was the same overall size, shape, and layout, but rather than being any kind of an improvement, it was just cheaper all around.
In a matter of months, the left mouse button switch had already worn out. So I swapped the left & right switches, and ordered some new ones from Mouser.
Well that second switch wore out and the first had gotten significantly worse, so it was time to install those replacements.
The original Kailh switches just couldn't stand up to moderate use. Here's hoping the new Phillips switches I installed will hold up better.

There are laptops available that are cheaper than many current mobile phones. When you're telling someone to check their privilege, it might be good to check your own first.
This website is too mobile focused these days. Reblog and tell me what your desktop/laptop background is.

It's especially appalling that he was expected to do all that while suffering from Permanent Clenched Fists Syndrome.

the dan and phil gaming channel is so funny to me like . pc gaming is a solo activity… like what other duo gaming channel can you name? feels like instead of watching one youtube personality, i’m watching two of of them synchronously doing ONE person’s gaming/commentary bits and also they’ve been doing this on the internet for 15 years
#like as soon as i saw the gaming channel with two men hunched over one computer like that was my hard launch#does this make sense#like think about modern solo youtubers and then dan and phil#clearing out my drafts#phan#dan and phil#danandphilgames#tit tour

Remember Yuval Noah Harari said humans are hackable animals 🤔

On Regular Maintenance
As I've mentioned before, I run a Proxmox VM server at home. It's a fun insanely-overpowered bit of hardware I've cobbled together over the years from what I had on hand or could get for as close to nothing as I could.
One foreseeable problem with the setup is I initially set it up with cheap consumer SSDs for boot drives. Proxmox is very heavy-handed with SSDs and I've been watching the wearout on one of the drives steadily tick higher.
Well the day finally came. I woke up to an email from the server informing me of a SMART error on one disk: wearout had hit 101%. Definitely time for replacement before things go south.
Luckily I had been procrastinating was prepared for this event and had new SSDs on-hand to swap in.
So a fun evening of watching paint dry ZFS resilvering followed. Sure beats data loss.

"Odysseus and his crew could've just fished!"
"lmao Athena is yelling at Odysseus for not fishing instead"
"why didn't they just fish? they're on the ocean!"
Me, tiredly: no.... no they could not have 'just fished', you don't know what you're talking about. please... please just sit down. Athena would've "my goodbye"'d his ass on the spot for suggesting to fish instead
#epic the musical#epic odysseus#epic the cyclops saga#none of you have gone fishing a day in your lives and it shows. sit down.#please try and comprehend how much fishing they would've needed to do to feed 600 men all doing hard labor#and then also comprehend how much energy those men burn in a day by doing said hard labor. these are 200lb soldiers not your average twink#who sits on their computer all day and doesn't weight lift#like god do you know how *inefficient* fishing on such large scale that would be AND on a WARSHIP?#also please try and remember that this is back BEFORE modern mass fishing equipment were readily available.#no they could not have used the nets. fish dont swim that close to the surface. no they could not have dragged the net in the water#trawling didnt exist until the 14th century. and also they're ROWING THAT SHIP. no they could not have gone to islands there#still wouldn't be enough fish to catch for 600 men. not all fish are edible. not all fish are safe for consumption. fish don't have the sam#amount of nutrients as warm-blood mammals do. fish spoils faster than meat.#you can't use the organs or guts or fat of most fish because of the contaminants in them and fish bones are small and brittle and useless#the energy it takes to catch and prepare a fish isn't worth the energy you get from eating it. not by a long shot.#if odysseus told his crew to fish i guarantee you that they'd have mutiny'd SO much faster just because of how stupid it is#i guarantee that their nets are not that heavy or big enough to sink far enough down the ocean to reach the fish either.#they caught the sirens because the sirens were close to the surface because they were trying to DROWN them.#catching a fish in an infinite ocean vs catching a sheep on a finite island
