Just one computer?


I just finished my Proxmox cluster with Kubernetes. I put Coral TPUs in all of them and one has a Nvidia A2000 Ada to play around with some LLMs and stuff. It's still a mess, but eventually there will be drywall and well laid out cables. The MS-01s are pretty cool little computers.

There's also an Android tablet (Galaxy A) in the kitchen which runs Pandora and serves as my recipe book.

But apart from those, yes. Only the one general-purpose PC inside the house.

There's another one (a little fanless stick PC) out in the garage which has PDFs of service manuals on it.

So, yes, just those four machines.

And also a little USFF machine in the living room connected to the projector, which is also the dedicated torrent box.

Just those five. No more.

Even some of the more mainstream comics are starting to hop on the Luigi bandwagon.

In keeping with Joe's recurring theme of ducks, here's probably what he uses for home defense:

Holy ****.

That's actually a real thing!






Hornady Critical Defense is my bedside-table load. But... damn. I kinda want to keep a 12ga in the corner behind it now, with one of those as the chambered round, just based on the idea that anyone who survived would have the trauma surgery nurses laughing their asses off.


I actually kind of want to put one of those on my knick-knack shelf in my office, though I recognize that my recent addition of a can of Gender Fluid is pushing the boundaries of what a manager can get away with in the highly-leftist city.

I'm not sure anything would make it through the barrel if actually fired, beyond some yellow plastic. Best to have something more substantial backing one of those duckshot loads as you would likely only **** off whoever you hit.

I went down the rabbit hole and found more offerings. This one actually gives some information on the load, unfortunately currently OOS: https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1025673116?pid=523434 Frangible resin ducks. I know those airsoft pellets hurt when they are propelled by CO2, imagine the extra hurt gunpowder would impart.

I thought these were some kind of gag gift but it appears they are really usable shells.
