There is something especially charming about genuine amateur art.

When you can tell exactly what they intended to depict, but couldn’t quite get there skill-wise adds something to the piece as a whole.

I love when people want to express some idea they had, so much that they’re willing to put themselves out there, even though they know that the final work is not as good as it could be. To say nothing of the separate joy of following an artist and watching their work improve with time.

Basically any sitcom made for TV and not a streaming service.

Honestly, Hackers gets a lot of shit for being ridiculous, but it only deserves it sometimes.

A lot of the actual hacking that is done in that movie is stuff like social engineering and phreaking payphones. It’s exaggerated in the movie to make it watchable, but it’s largely based in reality.

But then you have scenes like this

When Gearbox got the rights, I was sure Duke was going to show up in Borderlands, because thats basically the perfect place to put a relic of a character like that.

Have him do the 80s macho-man thing as a side character, and then contrast how much things have changed in the last 30 years for comedy.

There is no story that you could tell with Duke as the main character that wouldn’t feel like it was a script written in 1998 just rotting in a warehouse somewhere.

You people are nuts.

For me, 10mg is enough to be comfortable. 15-20 is where I start to feel too high.

200? That’s well past absurdity.

the real secret tech is to use a french press for tea.

The press acts as a filter for the leaves and all you need to do when you’re done is dump them out and rinse the pot and the lid. Absolute game changer

Rightsholders have to compete with pirates, but the inverse is true too.

Pirates typically win on price, but if they deliver a sub-par product, or make it more inconvenient to access, then it makes sense to go through official channels instead.

Rather than changing the cell size, just send 3 or 4 copies to the printer. Way faster

The best way is to just backup to multiple locations and actively manage it. RAID at the backup destination is nice because it means that if a disk fails, you don’t immediately lose everything there. But if you have multiple places where that data lives then it’s not the end of the world to just re-create the backup.

If you want to get into true archival solutions(way more expensive than setting up a RAID) then you’re looking at things like M-Disc and LTO tape
