Ahhh jerkcity. A classic.

.NET is still installable as a standalone thing. In fact I probably have several versions installed on my current Windows PC. No reason Windows Lite couldn't also have .NET install…

I wondered if it was the same but he says he built this car in 2008 which would have been three years after that video.

This happens with any TV or Movie that has music, and its incredibly frustrating. Always best to download to not confuse yourself as to why the media is somehow different than you …

0% AI, 80% YAML Jockey, 10% SSH Shenanigans, 10% Python programming Been doing sysadmin since the 90's. Why bother with AI, it just slows me down. I've already scripted my life wit…

Sonos hardware is the stuff I see at thrift stores for ~$8 and won't even bother with. When you're as user hostile as they are you end up in landfills. Wish somebody would figure o…
