You can browse the web on 8 GB of RAM easily.

Yeah, and productivity apps (sans the stupid LLM "features") will exist fine there too.

I would hope that the scarcity problems manifesting in 2026 would put pressure on software to maybe stem the bloat a touch...

But no, instead we get to wonder how 8GB (about 6x more RAM than I had storage in the first machine I built) is inadequate.

Well if you lost some weight you'd stop squishing them in the machine.

For 2025 pot luck season, I started working with a recipe for Tuna Mousse. Essentially, the recipe is "take a nice tuna salad, and then put it in the food processor with some gelatin". I had hoped to put it into a one-time-use mold that was shaped like a moose, but alas, my 3D print failed, and I ...

Taste notes on the Loaf: It's basically a spam sandwich without bread. Not great, not terrible. Glad I didn't use miracle whip.

I'm a sucker for old weird recipes, and I like bringing them to work pot lucks to inflict on my coworkers (I don't bring things that are inedible, just weird post-war crimes, I always eat a piece myself).

For the 2024 potluck, I fixed up the Super Supper Salad Loaf:

There's a spot in Austin I like to go (when I visit my sister) called Cidercade. Every game there is free, but you pay like $10 cover to get in the door.

They have a whole 1500 sq. ft. room full of pinball machines, and my favorite table there is the Rush-themed one (and not just because I love ...

These guys came to Albuquerque not long ago and they absolutely packed Sister Bar to the rafters, and brought the fucking house down:

Sounds like music that should come out of a '70s van with a LOTR mural on the side.

Majordomo?

It's what I use for my car clubs.

I need to reconsider though, as I'm not as tech savvy as I used to be and I don't know whether I need DKIM, DMARC, or what, but often times the emails get rejected by the recipients' mail servers.

I'm just running 3 dahua cameras that are on a VLAN with no internet access. I'm tinkering with zoneminder on my server as an RTSP NVR, but it's not going wonderfully (it soaks up a lot of cycles on the server's GPU, which can be problematic when I'm using it for HTPC stuff).

In part to make my 1967 GTO more driveable for my dad (who is approaching 80) and as a concession to the difference in speed limits between 2025 and 1967, I added a 5 speed gearbox with overdrive.

The Best Star Wars games were the Jedi Knight series

I respectfully disagree, but really only because fast twitch FPS make me nauseous to play.

In the "fly your ship" genre, nothing's come close to the original from '94, IMO (and I've tried them all, battlefront, squadron, rebel assault).

I haven't heard from Og in well over 10 years. He found me in the Jalopnik comment section before that site enshittified.

The best star wars games were the LucasArts Xwing and Tie Fighter from '94 and '97.

I recently stumbled on the XWVM mod , which updates the graphics engine, but keeps pretty much everything else (including the amazing audio engine).

I still play a bunch of games from the '90s, Starcraft, Warcraft ...

I finally dumped all of my old Macbook Pros.

Don't forget the phase change energy cost. Once you get ice up to 32F, you have to dump a bunch more energy into it before it turns to water.

They make heated walkway mats that can prevent snow from accumulating on the walkway.

I imagine the amount of electricity those use must be insane.

Yeah, I found him annoying, but I 100% bought one when I saw it in the store. I was expecting something delicious.

But to be honest, Virgil's root beer is better, and Mug is better, too, IMHO.

TBH, I don't drink a lot of soda, but the Boylan's black cherry is a welcome treat from time to time.
