BOINC is an open-source software platform for computing using volunteered resources




Théoden is canonically left-handed.

They had a tree line right there! Practically suicide.

When you make a potentially system breaking change and forgot to make a snapshot of the VM beforehand...
Potion Effect Rule

Did anyone else just buy all the ingredients from the potion shop, make a million health potions, and then sell it back at a profit?
You could break Oblivion very easily.

Holy shit! Now this is a buried memory!
So much weird porn games on Newgrounds back in the day. Does anyone remember the Little Red Riding Hood one?

I always felt that high-res Surprised Pikachu kinda ruins it. It's funnier when it's all fuzzy and jpg-y.

When DDLG and pet play come together...

NERV had a branch in Nevada that was destroyed when Unit 04 was activated. I wonder if Las Vegas was destroyed in the process.

Never go with a hippie to a second location.

Finally a use for the Mirai. God knows it wasn't much of a vehicle.

Here is a neat thing to try next time you play. You mentioned you played mostly blues? Try playing around the chord that is being played at the moment. So for twelve-bar blues in E, play minor pentatonic in E, then A, then E, then B, then A. It will sound weird at first because you are still learning but eventually you can make it sound natural.
Blues tends to fudge over major and minor so the major pentatonic would also work well here; move your minor pentatonic shape down one and a half steps. Switch between major and minor on your whim. Add in chromatic "out" notes when moving between chords. Slide into notes from a half-step below or above instead of starting there.

His secret Canadian family...
...his even more secret attic family.

It was kinda bad.
It's a lot better now, but getting to military web sites, especially OWA, has always been a pain in the ass on personal computers. I tried this out trying to avoid using my main computer for work stuff and it just didn't work that well.
I don't think anyone was really using it that much which is probably why it isn't maintained.

Kiss him deep with tongue!

Ceph. I have some Raspberry Pi's that I'm going to set up a cluster with. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. I half expect the performance to be relatively terrible, but maybe it won't and I can try to build something on top of the cluster in a sort of hyper converged setup.
It's completely overkill for a small home lab but that's what makes it fun.

Ah, you must be a bard...

I have questions... who wants to kiss Gortash? Is this a thing people have been asking for?

I do like this song and album, but in hindsight you can see it's the beginning when the band got a lot less weird and more commercial.

The autism of tank nerds never ceases to astound me.

I don't know if I would want to do it all the time, but I have come to appreciate the workflow when using a single monitor. I feel like I'm more focused.

Finally joined the "work was throwing it out" club


KVMs are unreasonably expensive and my work was about to throw this one in the dumpster. I just need to order some console cables first but I'm really pleased.

If you have spare computing power, consider donating some of that to a distributed computing project
Berkeley has this really cool program called BOINC that you can download and donate your computer's resources to processing scientific data. There are a bunch of projects to pick, from working on climate change, to cancer, to the Large Hadron Collider.
The good folks at linuxserver.io even have a ready to go Docker container for easy setup: https://hub.docker.com/r/linuxserver/boinc
Another possibility is running the Archive Team's Warrior, which downloads data from at risk web sites and uploads them to the Internet Archive: https://wiki.archiveteam.org/index.php/ArchiveTeam_Warrior
Does anyone else have examples of projects like this? My dream is for the Fediverse to have this sort of feature eventually.
