Every town should have a cable depot where everyone brings the cables they aren't using and they sort, test, and store them, and when you need some random cable you simply drop by the cable depot to pick it up. And if they don't have it they'll request it from the next town over, like inter library loans.
Updated my Yes Porn Allowed List removing Gotm (Defunct), Gumroad (Banned Porn), and striking out Commiss.io (Creator is MIA as site bitrots). Finally got around to adding Dropp.
Here we have a sleepy @Yarideki getting some rest with a plush Noma, but is that plush Noma smaller than last time, or is it a particularilly big taur? I'll leave that up to your interpretation!

good news: they finally fixed dragging and dropping images on there rather than having to click the upload button and manually navigate
bad news: i have discovered a new bug by trying to avoid the site:

i cannot believe something like this would happen in the year 24
To repeat myself but more helpfully from a couple days ago: if a project on a public SCM well like Github or Codeberg disappears, you can check if the Software Heritage archive grabbed it.
This is such a valuable tool for preservation and it's saved my spiky butt a dozen times now.

Be kind to their bandwidth. They discourage cloning straight out of their archives. Rehost if the risk to doing so is acceptable.

re: snark at crypto and gpts
So completely separate from all of the everything this evening, I realized something on this:
What is a middle manager? Well, someone like Michael Lopp would say: they help solve the quadratic communication problem of every engineer talking to each other engineer, taking it from O(n^2) to O(n). They also perform expected value calculations, which states that given the same game and odds infinitely run, a higher than 50% weighted average comes out ahead, and the better weighted average the better the decision.
What exactly is an LLM? Well, it's a system performing Bayesian-esque analysis on words, phrases, and image data, then running forward the most likely results.
It makes perfect sense why middle managers think this thing can replace humans, when it adequately articulates their lived experience as managers. And it's just attribution bias for that to go from "this is like talking to the people I talk to every day" to "this is like talking to everyone."
Fewer words: chatgpt talks like a manager, and manager types confuse that with being a person. Yikes, but it makes a funhouse mirror amount of sense.
