Sending a tab to one of my Firefox devices, and I'm pretty pleased with my current crop of names

(you might even be able to guess what kind of device a couple of these are)

@zombierustpunk you gotta start carrying around a plushy shark to ease em into it

@danhon that last one is a yiga clan technique

@danhon They've also got a bunch of weird knock-off schematics

For some reason, I've been on an MMORPG kick lately. But just, like, dipping into one after another for a couple hours with none of them sticking yet.

Was kinda mad at Star Wars: The Old Republic, though: I played a whole bunch, maybe 10 years ago. Had a bunch of characters named after Farscape characters - Scorpius, Crichton, Aeryn'Sun, Ka'D'Argo, Bialar'Crais

On logging in last night, they made me rename them if I wanted to play. Not cool buds

LRT: So, I'm near the end of week 2 at my new job. Here's a hint about where I ended up 🐊​

@leah I've decided to embrace my long-repressed preppy side

I wasn't really planning on getting this game, but I just watched someone throw a child at a grizzly bear in Baldur's Gate 3 and I might just have to see what's going on in there

I hate that this both horrifies (because I don't want my sleep recorded) and reassures (because I want my insurance to pay for my CPAP gear)

Seagate hard drive (3rd of 4) dropped off to UPS for an RMA. Here's hoping the final of four drives lasts a bit longer, but I'm not betting too hard on it. More hoping that the replacements they sent me last longer than 6 months

But I guess, seriously, what I do next time when I need a few hard drives is to order each from a different store and wait a week or month between each. Ugh. Not sure if the issue here was a bad batch or maybe they all sat in the same shipping container that got dropped hard on a dock or what

The one thing I'll say is that at least the drives were polite enough to wait just barely long enough for the RAID array to be repaired in between each failure and replacement cycle.

Maybe someday, my NAS will no longer be in progress on repairing a RAID array

@socketwench and also with moo

@augustine Yeah, these are 10TB ST10000NM0086 drives. I wouldn't even care how loud they are, since they're in my basement 😅

Got half a notion to build a Mastodon meta-client: A server-side app that can connect to multiple accounts across many instances.

It would offer a Mastodon-compatible API to clients and pretend to be a single instance. You could connect to it with Elk or Ivory or whatever. Maybe it could track on what account it first saw a status, so if you try to reply it uses that account.

Would notionally be like a Trillian or Pidgin for unifying many accounts without needing to explicitly switch instances. This is probably a horrible idea.

One thing I thought was interesting about Nostr is their notion of a client connecting to many websocket-based relays to get multiple redundant message sources
