DNS is just gonna be like that, I'm afraid. Unless there's some other mechanism I'm not aware of, either updating your IP in your records or having a Dynnamic DNS setup is gonna be necessary.

I'm lucky enough that my ISP has a relatively long lease time and doesn't care to change my IP a lot, so I don't really mind updating mine manually the few times a year that becomes necessary.

Meh, usually they're not hooked up to the building alarm system, and just make a noise on their own. They expect it to just draw attention to the area, and if the fire alarm needs to be pulled, someone will do that.

Oh, god. Why you gotta hit me with another sign all casually like that >:|

The way I understand it, scammers use the most incapable, podunk banks possible so it takes the most amount of time to fully clear a check, usually hoping that the mark will cash it in and send the scammer a portion of the bad check, so the mark is left with the bag. From the mark's bank's pov, the mark has spent more money than they were ever entitled to.

Yeah, I once had ChatGPT lead me down a rabbit hole chasing a windows network share issue that I had absolutely no business troubleshooting. At least I knew enough to test one change at a time and verify functionality with the concerned parties before moving to the next change, so nothing broke catastrophically like this, but looking back on the experience scared the shit outta me. Never fixed the issue, but the slop machine had me believing I was just on the cusp of fixing everything the whole time.

I know for a fact that there are people way dumber than me, way more powerful than me, and way more willing to eat up this garbage psuedo-technical sycophancy all at the same time, and that sends a cold shiver down my spine.

This shit needs to die. The sooner the better.

Me. I worked at RadioShack right out of high school. It shows that even as a dumb teenager, I already knew what I was talking about enough to help people with their electronics bullshit, and it shows a long history of it. Now, it's a bullshit retail job, and as such doesn't show up on my resume all the time, but it's still relevant to those who know what that store was all about, even to its bitter end.

No idea. This one comes up in the image results for the artist's name, and it's directly from the artist's store. Laziness wins every time, I guess

I run my own repo for my AUR packages, with the help of aurutils, on a VM, which also needs updates. That way I get to run updates for my server before building packages before running even more updates on my clients. Makes the update O exponentially better 🤤

A cement truck empty of cement would be marginally easier to steal than a cement truck full of cement...

The problem becomes filling that cement truck with anything else, though...
