    New York Times - "Their Words to Live By: Artists We Lost in 2016"

    I have a NY Times subscription because I am a condescending liberal, but let's face it, 2016 was a pretty crappy year, especially for the arts. I thought I'd share this and have people offer their thoughts and criticisms...

    CompTIA A+ 901/902 - anyone taken it?

    I've spent the last month or so studying up for the CompTIA A+ exams, and while I've found some material, I'm wondering about both the content of the exam and the differences between its last iteration (the 801/802). After this Friday I won't even be in school anymore, to be quite frank, I'm...

    SMS for 2-step verification

    Hey Brent, I was wondering if it would be possible to introduce an SMS option for 2-step verification. Not everyone here has smartphones on which to host an app or check their email, so text messages might be more convenient. thanks wyv

    Mac OS X users: Any weirdness updating Google Chrome?

    I know, I know, I could Google it...but I figured I would ask some real human beings instead. Normally, as we know, Chrome updates itself, with no intervention on the part of the user...once you close the browser, you have the brand spankin' new, shiny updated version running for you. Not so...

    If you live in or around Nashville, there is a new chapter of the Autistic Self-Advocacy Network, whose inaugural meeting I happened to attend today, and I highly encourage anyone interested to contribute.

    IPFire, anyone?

    I was toying around with the idea of buying a hardware firewall off of eBay, but then I thought, I have an older laptop; why don't I just use that? I'd have to buy an extra Ethernet card to slip into the PCI express slot, which I presume I could get for extra cheap but I'm unsure if IPFire...

    Queerplatonic friendships/partnerships

    This is a rather old article, but I read it today, and it was a revelation. It describes me to the T. Looking back, I know I've had a few relationships like this, possibly even current ones, I just never realized precisely the nature of what they were (and the other party probably didn't...

    MacBook Pro - Replacing Optical Drive with HDD/SSD

    So, my Macbook Pro's optical drive died, yet again. I looked into my options, and it turns out that you can actually replace the DVD drive with a second hard drive, and set that as the primary boot disk. So I went ahead and ordered a USB optical drive for 20 bucks, and I'm thinking about, in...

    The Loveoff

    Inspired by a podcast I listen to, list one thing that you love. "I love [doing x]", "I love when..." ...You get the idea. I'll start. I love going back to beloved but forgotten albums that I haven't listened to since I significantly upgraded my audio gear.

    Virtualization

    Basically, I've become obsessed. I have a Macbook Pro running Virtualbox, and I almost can't help myself in installing ISOs of various Linux distros, as well as Windows 7, 8, and 10 (I have free access to this stuff thanks to my school account), and plan on trying out some server software as...

    New avatar/quick info looks overhaul

    I like it. It's MUCH easier on the eyes, and the new gender icons are less distracting than the old ones; and the solid color of the badges makes it easier to read.

    Language Learning Tools

    I've lately been trying to get my French back up to snuff. Problem is, I have no one to speak it with and Duolingo can only take you so far (and has many problems of its own to boot). I read Le Journal de Montréal regularly, but while such things are great for vocabulary and grammar, they are...

    Solid State Hybrid Drives

    So, I've been considering replacing my 2012 13" i7 MBP's stock 750GB hard drive with a 1TB SSHD. My question is... Do any of you have any experience with SSHD's? I have no interest in a pure-bred SSD, as I need much more storage capacity and I also move and edit large files on a regular basis...
