I mean this makes sense. It’s not unlike trying to grow your hair long. If one falls out it’s not like the new growth is going to be that long immediately.

So if someone my age dies, it’s not like a new 53 yo dude just pops into existence.

But yes still kinda depressing

Don’t you still see this when using an OTA ATSC tuner on a newer LCD display? I thought this was a function of the signal generation and not the display technologies.

Yeah mesh to me means you talk to one AP wirelessly and that AP talks to another AP also wirelessly to eventually get to a wired connection to the internet. Of course that can also be wireless (SpaceLink, Verizon, etc) but out to the internet. I much prefer each AP has its own ethernet backhaul because both latency and throughput are significantly better. Of course it’s not as convenient since you have to have wired connections at each AP location.

Nope we’re in those times right now.

I’ve always felt discord was way too ephemeral and caused a lot of question to be re-asked over and over.

Blues Clues was good. We banned Barney from the git go. We loved Wow wow Wubsy, Wonderpets and The Backyardigans. I didn’t mind those at all.

Cailou is a little whiny brat and always has been. I hated that show when my son was younger.

Well, that’s a very interesting take on that and I never quite thought of it that way. Thank you

I’ve got a great example. My wife and I argue about directions all the time. I usually think Google and Apple maps are going to give me the quickest route because it’s an algorithm based on more data than I currently have like traffic and current road conditions. She’s usually all about her “gut” feeling and it involves these very convoluted paths that involve way too many extra intersections and very unknown conditions like others thinking the exact same thing and making it way more congested. I wasn’t even going to get into things like game theory since that would be way over her head. She very smart just not about nerdy things like that. Anyway I was like fine, ok let’s test it. Let’s see which way is quicker. Of course no two situations are going to be exact given changing variables like traffic patterns, times of day, construction, etc. but given enough data we could definitely prove which way is better: her gut feeling or taking the suggested route from the appropriate app. That’s science. Come up with a hypothesis, then a method to test the hypothesis, and then do the test. In this case it’s pretty simple to figure out if it works. You’re just comparing times. But nope, doesn’t wanna do it. And she’s all about the science. During COVID she even said we should be doing what the epidemiologists and doctors suggest since they “have done the science”. Here’s a chance for use to do a very simple version of that same thing.

I think it might be from a SpongeBob SquarePants meme. You might wanna start there. Not sure why that’s tickling my brain.

Oh and I just found this: https://knowyourmeme.com/editorials/guides/whats-erm-what-the-sigma-meme-about-the-catchphrase-and-overstimulation-video-explained

So it looks like started as a TikTok thing and then spread into the SpongeBob world.

I’m not sure why my ADHD brain latched on to this question but I HAD to find the answer. I don’t know if this is definitive but it’s at least a direction.

I’m too embarrassed to admit how long this took me.

What about BOTW?!?

Ummm … how?!? I just copied that text and it worked. 🤯

I like xitter… which someone told me was pronounced “shitter”. Seems right.

Man this thread has taught me all sorts of things. I will definitely check out UTM. Thanks for that!!

On the cheesegrater(2019 MacPro) it’s a little convoluted. During covid times it was my single box lab since it had so much memory (768TB). So I was running nested ESXI hosts and then VMs under that. I also have a M1 MacBook Pro that I had parallels run ARM VMs (mostly MacOS, Windows, and a couple of Debian installs I think).

I have been looking at VMWare alternatives at work so for the hypervisors I’ve been playing around.

I do this stuff for a living but I also do it home for fun and profit. Ok not so much profit. Ok no profit but definitely for the fun. And because I love large electric bills.

Ok I’ll have to try this. The weird thing is my little test proxmox server is a 2013 trashcan. So this would be like a hackintosh running on Mac hardware. Would that technically be a hackintosh? I’m not really sure. According to the Apple license you can virtualize MacOS if it’s running on Mac hardware. I’m not sure if that requires MacOS as the hypervisor. Regardless this is not something I knew about. Very cool. Thanks for the info.

Well I do but I have a machine with 3/4 of a terabyte of memory on it.

Work scraps are great sometimes.

How are you running the MacOS VMs. The machine I have is a cheese grater so that makes it easier.

Fuck… guess I’m old too. Not sure when that happened.
