  • I swear this always happens to intelligent people when they age

    Me and my best friend are both gifted kids. Our families are all very smart people and so his mom and dad but for some reason, his mom is a really conservative conspiracy theorist (chemtrails, bill gates and the jews stuff) and his dad has weird spiritualist beliefs and rituals (cult inspired from buddism I think? I’m not sure) even though such stuff is forbidden under islam

    Recently his mom randomly showed us a video where “they” are “vaccinating the fish”. I was going to burst into laughter if I didn’t hold myself so hard. My bestie is a progressive leftist, he believes in science, and he has a very materialist point of view. He says it’s sometimes embarrassing for him when his family members do such thing in public

    And the weirdest part is these are not caused by cognitive decline due to age. They still do understand everything pretty good and they can still process new information in a much more efficient manner than “average” people

    My main idea about it is that skepticism can sometimes be a curse for boomers who did not have a source of knowledge to base their skeptic ideas on, and they are just not used to accuiring reliable knowledge from the web. Reliable knowledge often being in English and majority of boomers in my country not knowing English also contributes to that

    ChatGPT keeps mixing up software versions which is understandable considering the similarities between versions and the way gen AI works

    I asked for help on GTK 4 once and responses were a mix of GTK 4 and 3 code. Some of them even contained function names which didn’t exist in any version of GTK







  • Well, my VPS is used mainly by my friends for Minecraft servers, collaboration, file sharing, streaming and pretty much everything cloud related

    Most of them live in Istanbul and my VPS provider is one of the most reliable and affordable providers located in Istanbul.

    Unfortunately, Hertzner doesn’t work for me because their prices are astronomical for me compared to Google’s regional pricing for Turkey (40TL/mo = 1.1USD/mo for 2TB)

    I just wanna exploit the service as much as possible since I just don’t rely on them. Electricity prices are too high for homelab but maybe I could set up a solar powered server if I save a little (I’m a student, I don’t have much money, but I like the hobby)

    I’ll probably try accessing cancelled drive account with rclone and find out if it’s possible








  • Virt manager for qemu. I use docker and distrobox for Linux distros

    I recently managed to use my windows partition (for dual boot) as a disk for a qemu. I don’t use it but really cool trick anyways. Tutorial here

    Also it’s not very healthy for windows since it is not designed for constant hardware changes. But idc all my apps are installed on D: so I can just reinstall it without thinking about it much
