I just love that there are websites that promise to crack wifi passwords by just providing the network name, and a credit card.

My home network is made up of a lot of old linux PCs, I want someone to sell case badges for "achievements" for computers:
- Poof: Actually shot smoke once!
- Ship of Theseus: no original parts inside
- "Powered by (space for tally marks) Linux kernels"
- Pontless RGB: still contains bits of that first gaming rig I was super proud of
- Evangelism: add sticker for every person who used system, was then inspired to make one/try linux
- Good Run: >1yr uptime until power outage :(
You wouldn't download essential software for your final project, would you? 
How tf does the cracked version of MS Office install when my licensed version doesn't??

i'm watching this Tony Hawk's Project 8 speedrun and the runner is repeatedly doing sick tricks and accruing $25,000 hospital bills every time he fucks up and honestly this is good commentary on the united states as a whole

This Spectrum-provided router keeps sending UPnP packets even after turning off the service.
I just received a letter from them claiming botnet malware has been detected from my computers...
Maybe Spectrum routers *are* the botnet. 
LBRY.tv is such a cool concept. What it's really lacking right now is quality content.

Just before xmas, way back in 2019, I bought a multipack of Wispa chocolate bars and put them in my drawer and today, the first day back in the office, I have opened my drawer and nearly cried about how great the old me was. Follow your dreams.

Any recommended books on Linux kernel internals? I know there's an O'Reilly one that hasn't been updated in over a decade, so I'd be curious if there's a more modern take.
