  • I find my sense of humor has become broader with age. Its also tinged with (surprisingly) less cynicism but more darkness.

    I think laughter is one of the weirdest mechanisms for coping. I laugh when kids get killed in movies, my partner laughs when something causes physical pain.

    When it comes to comedy itself, I have less tolerance for the Joe Rogan crew of comedians (Segura, Kreischer, that lot) as well as Chapelle it just feels like exhausting space filler. There’s no humor left in it, its just out of touch, rich dudes rambling between punchlines.

    That said, I find Bill Hicks as brilliant now as I did as an angsty teen. True comedy (shout out to Carlin, Pryor, and Bruce too) transcends age. Its found in human suffering, which we only accumulate more of with age. Not in tired jokes about gender equality, rich problems, and a discontempt for your audience.














  • I built my entire cloud storage strategy around Google drive because it had very simple integration with my previous seed box provider. Like, I could run Plex from the cloud through them directly off of my Google drive and then mirror that to local storage.

    Super slick and easily usable setup. In a push to completely de-google my life the past 2 years I had to figure out an effective migration strategy off of that stack.

    It was a total pain in the ass. Not to mention moving the rest of the people on my family plan off of Google as well. The majority of them are fairly tech savvy and even with that in mind we struggled.

    I am now 100% self-hosted and learned a shit ton about docker along the way but, I couldn’t imagine trying to do the same thing with a group of entry level users.
