You know, if there’s one thing I really like about cocaine it’s the smell.

They must be making extra effort lately. I got the “Ad blockers are prohibited” popup twice today on two systems. One Linux and one windows. Librewolf, UO and SB on both.

Was able to close popup and move on.

Russia, Israel and perhaps others contributed in the acceleration.

I usually spot this post in the early morning hours when I have two or three dogs sleeping on and around me. Possibly even sharing my pillow. Then I have a chuckle about how they’re doing. “Just fine,” I think. This time I’ve spotted it early and have plenty of room with only one doggo snoozing on the bed. The other two are on the floor on a plush dog-bed, but that will change soon enough.

The cats are okay too.

You deserve it! Good luck!

A false story is pushed that Amazon will reveal tariff pricing. The government pushes back hard and threatens Amazon. Amazon backs down.

The truth is Amazon never planned on revealing anything at all. They are playing a role to help this asshole administration. This process serves as a warning to any other businesses that talk about revealing anything to do with tariff price increases and stifling the discussion.

This keeps a large block of the populace in the dark about the matter.

What can I run on a Transmeta Crusoe?

Hello fellow home labber! I have a home built xpenology box, proxmox server with a dozen vm’s, a hackentosh, and a workstation with 44 cores running linux. Oh, and a usb floppy drive. We are out here.

I also like long walks in Oblivion.

Name them. Bosch does this with some functions too. I bought the model below and didn’t care about delayed start or whatever. I am not loading your app!

I swear we need to start some appliance hacking clubs or something to sidestep this crap.

This appears to be Russian pressure for her to stay in line. If that is true, they’ll have any number of ways to exert that pressure. I think they want this public for the rest of the embedded crew to stay the course.

Well, with general enshittification, Steam’s progress and W10 sunsetting maybe it will tick up the charts a bit more this year. I have laptops and home theater systems and have converted several in the last six months. Mostly Mint and EndeavorOS so far, but I’ll also load up Manjaro and Fedora on the last couple to see how I like them. Linux has come a long way.

As is the tiny hand.

Wanted to get a link for you:

Key findings:

Clayton Homes, owned by Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, makes more mobile home loans than any competitor by a factor of six.

Warren Buffett’s Clayton Homes operates under at least 18 names, leading many buyers to think they’re shopping around.

Warren Buffett’s Clayton Homes lends at interest rates that can top 15 percent, and often adds thousands in fees to borrowers’ loans.

Clayton customers report deceptive and predatory deals including loan terms that changed abruptly, surprise fees and pressure to take on excessive payments. Former dealers said Clayton Homes encouraged them to steer buyers to finance with Clayton’s own high-interest lenders.

How apropos.

Many years ago I saw a post on…probably Digg, that espoused 200 (very valid) reasons to hate Reagan. It was one of those light-bulb moments for me as at that time I had no idea how damaging his presidency was.

However, the new American analogue will be trump.

Peep Show is hilarious, but I would be loathe to call it “charming”. It’s mostly a “guy show” I think.
