  • After searching, I am now aware of the film “Freaks”, from 1932. I’ll have to take a watch

    I always knew it from “South Park”, assumed it was a reference to something else, and never inquired more until now

    That being said; maybe just adding a disclaimer to check out the movie “Freaks” would be cool (for those who aren’t aware of the origins). But I wouldn’t always choose to use the “Original Movie Gif”, because there’s so many great variations

    A disclaimer would be cool to encourage people to watch the original (just for ‘learning purposes’ at some point), but I wouldn’t knock someone for not disclaiming it. I would probably just reply to them that “the original movie from where that came from is really worth watching”

    Unless I watch it and the movie ends up being hot garbage… then I won’t disclaim nor comment about it. Only time will tell, what my feelings will be after I give it a watch. Thank you though for the insight, cause I’m now excited to watch this old, crazy-seeming film. It looks good



  • Not trying to lessen your point, but people do be dying from sepsis all of the time still. Granted, we do have way better treatment and protocols, but it’s a fast killer if not caught in time and a lot of different things can cause sepsis

    But polio, for sure way better. Never seen anyone with polio before irl

    Also stroke treatment. Wayyyy better now than before. We didn’t really have anything except aspirin until the 90’s, and now we’re straight up removing the clots from the brain (when we can). It’s kind of wild how much stroke treatment has improved in 30 years








  • Well, you just saved me a bunch of time trying to figure out how to auto-update my humble little server. Granted, I only have Plex and Samba Share right now, but I like the principle. Hell, an update once blanked my smb config file for whatever reason

    Now auto-backups are another thing; because I would like to use a .tar file, but then it leads me down a rabbit hole because I don’t know how to repair Grub if needed for a restore, or what Grub really even is vs Bios… I’ve just been learning as I go

    I’m a few weeks away from getting a couple parts for an upgrade, and then it’ll be some fun. I want to redo it from scratch and maybe set up proxmox and change my file system to zfs, then start looking at docker, figure out Jellyfin and look at some ARR stuff… maybe tailscale or headscale. Idk, it’s just fun cause it’s a hobby. I just haven’t had the storage or ram really, but soon






  • I use it for news, but I mostly see enough news on Lemmy that I don’t have to use it often. I just check it occasionally to see if there’s anything different and to help balance my personal bias a hair

    RSS seems to have been dying forever, but still persists. I just use a search engine to find the RSS feed, cause it’s sometimes impossible to find on the website itself

    Edit: and also, I use the “Feeder” app to aggregate the RSS feeds
