  • Do it. I have a dedicated Ubuntu server with a bunch of docker instances on it. one of them being Romm. I just upload all my roms to it and I can play any game in any browser on any device connected to the internet. I have NES, SNES, Genesis, Saturn, PSX, PS2, Dreamcast, Saturn, Jaguar, 3DO, N64, Gamecube, Wii, Wii U, Gameboy/Color, GBA, DS, etc, etc, etc all ready to go.

    Don’t shell out $70 again to play these. they’re already available free o charge online. Just set up dolphin and have at it.




  • thought this was a very early april fools joke with the literal 1/100 scale Virtual Boy “accessory”

    I mean as someone who is old enough to remember calling Blockbuster every 30min to see when they got the thing in stock to rent out…sure have at it I guess. But man you REALLY need to take breaks otherwise your retinas will crust over. Although when you are done playing it was neat to see the entire world in a shade of red afterwards.


  • EVERY. TIME. it’s revealed that the shooter is MAGA it’s always funny to stroll into /r/conservative or twitter or other places like and then watch the userbase go from cheering to proceeding to consume each others flesh. happens every time. A few start questioning their “faith” and which brings on others to begin to feast or start accusing people of being fake and then comments get deleted, threads get removed. every time.

    And each time none of them are capable of taking a step back and asking “are we the baddies?”






  • Prices are too high for essentially shoe boxes. Add to the fact the majority are so poorly built. Buddy of mine is a plumber, owns his own business, started out taking house calls and what have you. Eventually he got on retainer for like two companies and that’s all he works for now. the calls are daily for only 3 condo buildings. you can’t completely fix the problems for these buildings, just essentially patch them.

    So why pay an arm and a leg for a wet shoe box held together with duct tape and hopes and dreams?


  • not trying to be one of those guys but trying to be helpful. What software for work do you need that won’t work on a linux distro?

    I mean wine/winetricks is pretty much to the point now where you can simply download an .exe or whatever, double click it, and it’ll launch. I do this for several Windows only programs I have and they all work. And the thing with the Linux community is that there’s always SOMEONE that will insist on getting the most obscure drivers working on it. I once had this dongle from like the early 2000s that would allow you to plug PSX and PS2 memory cards into it. I thought “yeah I’d like to use this again, no way it’ll work on linux” and sure enough someone had actually made the drivers for it. I think it’s only me and the guy who made the driver that actually use the thing.





  • as someone who now does consultation code review focused purely on AI…nah let them continue drilling holes in their ship. I’m booked solid for the next several months now, multiple clients on the go, and i’m making more just being a digital janitor what I was as a regular consultant dev. I charge a premium to just simply point said sinking ship to land.

    Make no mistake though this is NOT something I want to keep doing in the next year or two and I honestly hope these places figure it out soon. Some have, some of my clients have realized that saving a few bucks by paying for an anthropic subscription, paying a junior dev to be a prompt monkey, while firing the rest of their dev team really wasn’t worth it in the long run.

    the issue now is they’ve shot themselves in the foot. The AI bit back. They need devs, and they can’t find them because putting out any sort of ad for hiring results in hundreds upon hundreds of bullshit AI generated resumes from unqualified people while the REAL devs get lost in the shuffle.
