I saw that documentary. "The Wolf of Wall Street" or something? Maybe that was actually late 80s-early 90s.

On a daily basis I consume enough drugs to sedate Manhattan, Long Island, and Queens for a month. I take Quaaludes 10-15 times a day for my "back pain", Adderall to stay focused, Xanax to take the edge off, pot to mellow me out, cocaine to wake me back up again, and morphine... Well, because it's awesome.

I've been screaming its just wage theft. My city provides tax breaks for occupancy (employees prop up the local economy buying lunch). They are making me pay for gas, time, and car maintenance (and lunch but fuck them, I'll just not eat) for this tax break which goes to C-level bonuses/shareholders. Its just another way of skimming off the top of employee wages.

We worked fully remote for nearly 2 years and the hybrid policy just keeps getting worse and worse. Coupled with quarterly riffs, I also suspect this is to avoid severance pay/unemployment while accelerating the down sizing. Yet our CEO bonus keeps going up and up despite our stock plummeting since the end of COVID lock downs.

The DNS is cheap. Something like a penny a day for privacy. I typically paid like $50 every 2-3 years for both renewal and DNS on a couple domains.

Was kind of a PITA to be honest as I remember their login process was a little weird. I eventually moved on when they were slow to adopt some of the newer TLDs.

You need downers to ride the uppers and get that perfect drug fueled circadian rhythm going.

Energy drinks during the day and a nice indica bong/dab rip, edible, or blunt in the evening.

Warning: If things have escalated to cocaine/meth/adderall to go up and opiates and a handy from the local masseuse to go down, you're probably riding the rhythm too hard.

/s please take care of yourself!

The registrar owns the domain then, not you. I made a root comment about Njalla which offers this service.

edit: Well you could use fake data. Still risk losing claim to it. I tried doing this with name cheap and they figured it out somehow that the info I gave wasn't real. Was years ago so I don't remember what I put in. My guess is it was one of those soft credit lookups (where did you live between X and Y?). Could also be misremembering.

One of the pirate bay founders created https://njal.la/#home but with the caveat:

For instance, when you register a domain name in our system, we can register with our own data. We will be the actual registrant of the domain -- it's not an ownership by proxy as found with all other providers. However, you will still have the full control over the domain name. You can either use our information (and our nameservers) or you can go with your custom data. And you can move at any time. Simple, flexible.

I believe it is required (ICANN?) to have a real entity attached to every domain, even with a proxy for the public whois. They simply offer to be that identity to avoid giving any identifying information, but they will have all claim on it if it came to a legal dispute.

I've been getting weird walking instructions. Like 6 min walk is +30 to avoid some invisible barrier.

I have a few of those. During the reddit exodus when the API changes went live, I had to register on a few servers to finally get a working and stable account. Issues with email or setting up captchas to prevent bots resulted in a few of my accounts not going live until a week+ later on some instances.

  1. Multi-community simulator
  2. Defederation avoidance, usually paired with accounts on special interest servers you don't want to risk losing access to.
  3. Porn and non-porn.
  4. Privacy by dividing online activities between multiple accounts to make it difficult to profile you and to maintain some pseudonymity.

Download 5 seasons of some show from multiple sources or some artist's entire discography, and want to normalize all the file names? It is way easier in the terminal.

I'll check this out, but I use https://github.com/stevearc/oil.nvim for such tasks as I have nvim's full suite of editor commands to rename all the files way faster than I could in a GUI. I'm sure there are GUI apps to perform a similar task, but I already know how to use nvim.

Same. Have it baked into my neovim setup.
