I don’t have one, but I really appreciate the engineering and craftsmanship that goes into them. The way all of the subtle ergonomics play into an explosive force you aim with your hands. Being able to shoot at targets and quantify a skill on top of that is just icing on the cake.

I don’t think I could bring myself to shoot a living creature even if I needed to.

The unfortunate truth of modern business is that if you’re not growing, you’re on the path to failure. If we weren’t societally so fixated on profits, I could see lots of companies making “forever” products, but this sadly isn’t the case.

Love my Jellyphone as well!

Back to the Future Part 2

I just did some digging and Grist actually seems to do most of what I need it to. There may be hope yet! It’s still not quite as slick as AppSheet, but may be a step in the right direction.

Honestly, projects like AppSmith and Baserow are pretty good at this. Google AppSheet is by far the best implementation of this style of low-to-no-code app builders, but comes with the obvious caveat of being a Google product.

If someone managed to make an open-source solution as slick as Google’s, I’d be right on it. As it stands, all the competition that I’ve found requires a decent existing knowledge of SQL queries to run the widgets themselves.

I love how the other players say they don’t consider it cheating.

I mean, I did, but only because I was still in grade school in 2005.

This is the plot of Don’t Look Up.

I’m referring to ordering them online. They’re way more professional and last through the wash decently well.

You’re reminding me I need to rewatch Hellraiser. Such a great movie.

Some people take their game worlds entirely too seriously. I find far too many in the competitive gaming scene treat video game accomplishments/loot/losses on the same level as real-world ones.

I bet it’s really satisfying to solve right up until it isn’t.

Nobody brings it up, but heat transfers are a cheap way to make your own designs. Just takes an iron and the transfers come with the extra sheet you need. They’re like $5-20 depending on size and can go on pretty much anything cotton or cotton/poly blends.

There’s probably already a way. It would just take 14 days per CPU cycle to run.

What’s that guy need so much water for anyway?!?!?

Every time I’m counting to ten, the line from GTA V about ‘exactly ten’ cars being made pops in my head with the silly way he mimics Lamar’s speech.

“Aren’t there only, like, ten of these or something?”

“There ain’t like ten. There’s exactly ten, homie.”

Well spoken, FART MONSTER TWO K

The very rough idea is this:

I have a server with multiple services and only one open port (not counting the SSL port) on my router.

Traffic comes into that one port straight to my server. That server has a reverse proxy installed with a directory of subdomains and associated ports.

It internally routes traffic coming in on my open port to the internal services on the server without having to expose them directly to the internet.

The big advantage is that because it all goes through my reverse proxy, I can add SSL certs to just that and now all of my subdomain services get the benefits of the SSL cert on the host.

I’m sure there are other uses for reverse proxies, but this is how they work in my setup.

God, I hate autocorrect.
