If you're building an app, and you need to make thumbnails from any kind of file, I built a thing for you: hub.docker.com/r/sciactive/...

In response to Taco Bell reportedly giving people explosive diarrhea, Del Taco has assured its customers that they will only give you regular diarrhea.

“30 minutes to charge! No way I’d ever get an EV!” “I know right. Crazy. Quick question, how long would you wait in line for gas that was $1.50 a gallon?” “Oh, probably an hour. Gas is so expensive right now.”

Gmail doesn’t accept email from my home server’s disk monitor, because it’s not set up to be a good email server (DKIM, SPF, etc). I just finished a feature in Port87.com where you can turn off all authentication requirements for a label so that it will accept basically any email. Problem solved.

One tech company makes a product that makes kids want to kill themselves, and another tech company makes a product that convinces them to do it, and nobody from those companies has gone to prison for it.

Has anyone asked the AI companies for a list of their demands?

A hot air balloon emergency landed in my back yard this morning. No one was injured. :) youtu.be/cQFJYUuw_jo

Why do Minecraft beds even have covers if no one ever uses them?

It’s weird watching TV recordings from the nineties, and the people in the commercials are young.

This is the best video I’ve ever watched on #YouTube. I don’t mean the best video on renewable energy, or the best video from @techconnectify.bsky.social. I mean the best video. Period. youtube.com/watch?v=KtQ9...

You know who we don’t see in the #EpsteinFiles? Drag performers.

I’m rewatching Stranger Things season 4, set in 1986. There’s a scene with code on the screen. It shows: Turbo C++ - not invented until 1990 HTML - 1993 HTTPS - 1994 (called htsps on the screen) PHP - 1995 CSS - 1996 Iframe - 1997 C# - 2000 .NET Framework - 2002 CoffeeScript - 2009 Flexbox - 2009

Stripe was a lot easier to integrate than PayPal. Plus, you know, no Peter Thiel. sciactive.com/2025/10/16/c...

I don’t think #Framework knows they _are_ political. They don’t offer the best or cheapest products, they appeal to _political positions_. Keeping “politics” out means the **only selling point** is no longer valid. It’s so sad to see this atrocious response. community.frame.work/t/framework-...

I just spent the past 13 hours optimizing my #Postgres database. The result for query to load the emails (when you have tens of thousands in your account) when you first open #Port87 Before: 0.370 seconds After: 0.050 seconds All index scans, no bitmap heap scans. Woo!

#Email on your own domain is easy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1FS...

Let’s say it plain: the Supreme Court of the United States endorsed racial profiling today.

I’m not surprised that Tatis didn’t catch that, because that’s a nearly _impossible_ ball to catch, but I’m kind of surprised Tatis didn’t catch that, because that’s a _nearly_ impossible ball to catch. #sdpadres #padres

I’ve launched custom domains on Port87! Now you can bring your own domain and send/receive secure email at personalized addresses like you-yourlabel@yourdomain.com. Supports both personal and multi-user setups. Learn more: sciactive.com/2025/09/08/a...

Beware: do not click a link with an @ in the URL!!! The part on the left is a username for the domain on the right. Here, it looks like a domain (ups dot com), but the real domain is a phishing site (servicepsa dot pics). This text is a scam designed to steal personal info. Beware of these links!

TANK vs TESLA "We've crushed fascism before and we'll crush it again" - ⁠WW2 veteran Ken, 98, in the tank

Remember, today is Jackie Robinson Day. Nothing else happening today is more important than that.

The Cybertruck’s frame is made of aluminum. Gallium is a liquid metal that is non-toxic, but **extremely corrosive** to aluminum. So, under no circumstances should you ever put gallium on a Cybertruck’s frame. It will invisibly eat away at the frame until the Cybertruck crumbles into power.

I had finally come to terms with my inability to properly stretch pizza dough. Just one of those things I can't do. Move on. Now I see this and need to jump into a mine shaft.

Here’s a cybertruck getting booed at Orpheus to brighten your Lundi Gras:

If you haven’t done today’s Connections, here’s a hint: the puzzle master was not thinking of Stone the Crows. 😤

Also, fun fact, that code is in the public domain, so good luck suing anyone who steals it from you. It's for this reason (among a few others) that I don't have a single line of AI generated code in port87.com I wrote all the code, and I'm proud of that.

Rick is an idiot. He turned himself straight into a pickle. Turn yourself into a cucumber not a pickle. The fun part is going through the pickling process yourself.

i don't post much but this has been on my mind tonight and i had to say something. After the purge at the JCS tonight I feel like we are only days away from Trump dissolving the Congress. What happens then?

Jesus Christ, it’s only been one month.

In 2004, the show Dead Like Me compared Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler.

I don’t understand that boomer who hates his wife meme. When I’m away from my wife I miss her like crazy.

He can’t own a gun, but he’s in charge of the nukes. Super awesome country we’ve got.

When I got my first computer, it had a 100MB hard drive. I distinctly remember thinking, “100MB is so much space. How am I going to fill this up?” A couple weeks ago I bought an additional 16TB hard drive, because the first one that holds all my definitely legally obtained media is getting full.
