Been interested in, and/or have you sold any NFT's lately?
- People are buying nfts? In 2024!!?!??nb
- I don't think they are :D HAHAHA what a shitty fadjagara
- Haven't had any buyers in the last 3 months.palimpsest

OMG I wanna pull out what's left of my hair. 45 mins on chat with GoDaddy because after years of SFTP 22 working fine, decides will not connect today and after asking very direct questions about access and issues I expect might be causing it they refused to answer 90% of questions and set up a temp FTP 21 access that yes works but mine still doesn't no matter if pw updated etc, just a brick wall... End result was being told 5 times in a loop even though I kept confirming was NOT the case, as was connecting fine to other host server, that my specific ftp client was the issue and to contact the developer for help... what!? Even though my creds refuse to work across two separate ftp clients. I was literally like so it's fine I guess that even though I have ftp creds that are in CPANEL and are years-tested and correct etc that those should just mysteriously not work anymore and same with SFTP - that should not be used anymore either for no solid reason, just accept this reality I guess. And kept being told by tech that his new temp ftp creds works (they did but are ftp 21) use those.. like what is the problem here, forget about the actually creds that are still officially sitting their on the host account that I've always used across devices. like omg. the end.
- omgprophetone
- I half expect that suddenly 'poof!' my original sftp creds will just work again for no reason at some point b/c why not?prophetone
- was on a support call about a SQL connection to bluehost where while explaining what i knew was wrong the guy reset my db user password which also reset mykingsteven
- perms, should have been a 10 minute call. whole day lost. this shit used to be easier right?kingsteven
- Yeah it was like talking to a tiktoker... he's like nothing changed on GD side of things so must be your app... dude clearly something has changed on GDprophetone
- but def not I interested in investigating it even though clearly an issue, and would not answer simple questions even though I asked same 3 questions 3-4 timesprophetone
- I finally gave up lolprophetone
- "why cannot I no longer use my SFTP creds now?"... "sir I have set up a temp FTP login so that works fine just use that now"prophetone
- it was maddening hahaprophetone
- Wild ass guess but did you try throwing away the old sFTP certificate/ key/ whatever so it would regenerate as on a new login?monNom
- Because it’s a system auto generated sftp based on higher level creds so it’s baked in except for pw hence why is it suddenly dead for no reasonprophetone
- I asked if related to certs, ssl, anything external... they wouldn’t fully answer questions, kept insisting must be my ftp app etc lolprophetone
- I will look into forcing a refresh like you suggested, I did do that to a degree, was also reviewing ssl, but maybe I need to do more, anywayprophetone
- Wait until they charge you $20 to remove your sites from their service, which you should totally do. GD is a pig fucker!canoe

Good grief in hell, troubleshooting CORS header issues so that fonts display in Firefox is NOT HOW I WANTED TO SPEND MY DAY.
- oofprophetone

I needed to switch phones after 6 years and went out and bought the cheapest entry level android A05, I can't be happier. I love me an underdog, does everything I need and it goes without saying I truly don't get expensive phones which cost around thousands if not more expensive. Also Signs You Are Getting Old
- Sent from A05 lol.- i have been looking for a phone for my dog...imbecile
- https://i.imgur.com/…PonyBoy
- I bought that same phone as a test device and omgggggg it is painful to use. So slow and unresponsivenb
- Iphones have the destinct advantage, that they are supported longer than any smartphone out there. And you can always get it repaired...jagara
- ...they end up costing less in the long run (unless you get some of the flagships, of course). It's a more environmentally friendly choice for the same reasons.jagara
- But yeah, cheap Android phones are getting really really good :)jagara

Working on an idea for a new typeface. Maybe uppercase only.
- Ooooooh that's lovely.Continuity
- Lovely. Please finish this, so I that can update my brand :)Nairn
- Love it AND you had me @ cycling.ideaist
- Yep awesome and loving it.Wordsworth
- Very nice! I would reduced the font size in "CYCLING", there is something visually uneasy with the "NG" sitting below the "NS".utopian
- This type was made for bike frames, 100%garbage
- Maybe widen the space in the D a bit to be consistent with open space in the Asrhadden
- Working on it to make it consistent. Thinking of making it outline and variable on the weight axis.stewart
- Nice work sir, that flat-top A is ace. How do you select the letters to break? That’s probably a dumb question.MrT
- Thanks MrT. Letters to break, what do you mean exactly?stewart
- Cyclists are gaycrazyprick
- Where do you get your ideas from?palimpsest
- Have you tried it with flat terminals?garbage
- Good one garbage, I'll try that.stewart
- I meant which get the A, N, Y treatment - with a stencil-like break in the character.MrT
- MrT, may be an open type option so the user can choose open/closed characters.stewart

Who else felt the earthquake in the NYC area, that was wild. From Brooklyn to NJ it was felt...
https://earthquake.usgs.gov/eart…- Magnitude 4.8, wtfwhatthefunk
- I thought the E train just passed by my roof while I was in the can.ok_not_ok
- Wife started yelling at me "what are you doing?" as I'm sitting in front of the computer...whatthefunk
- Felt it up here in southern New Hampshire... thought my wife was shaking the couch and fucking with me then I remembered she wasn’t homePonyBoy
- Lol @commentsOBBTKN
- Lol the fuck you're smokingcrazyprick
- ^ yeahYakuZoku
- Earthquake was def because of the eclipse, Cern, Aliens, Hollywood devil worshipping, tunnels, etcneverscared
- By tunnels you mean the juice?crazyprick
- I felt it in Long Island but, it wasn’t wild. It wasn’t crazy or insane. It was a cute little baby shake. Calm down.monospaced
- flol whatthefunkNairn
- It's called Epicentral Distance Mono https://www.iitk.ac.… I think most learned about it in 4th or 5th grade.whatthefunk
- and so it beginsHAL9001
- Related to the comments, hilarity always ensues when there's a rumble where there normally isn't one.garbage
- When I was in college in the south, we had a 4.6. I slept through it, but woke up to my dorm mate sleeping in the hallway.garbage
- He had been drunk the night before, and this school has been around since the late 1800s. So when things started bouncing around on his shelves..garbage
- ..he came to the obvious conclusion: "GHOSTS".garbage
- I was trying to talk him into going to see a counselor because I thought he'd lost his mind. Then I saw the news, and just made fun of him endlessly.garbage
- in NJ near a quarry, normal blast is 2-3 secs of rumbling/house shaking, once this went on for 5+ secs I realized - holy s earthquaketimeless
- @timeless Ironically this university is near few quarries, but far enough removed to not feel the blasting. But also: perfect username.garbage
- @what, I grew up in California. I knew about this and had many experiences with earthquakes many times before I was in 4th grade.monospaced
- From my experience of actual real earthquakes, this was a tiny little baby one, about as mild as it gets.monospaced
- As someone who's never experienced an earthquake, I imagine even a tiddler would rock my world. So to speak.Nairn
- Cracks fingers, incoming TL:DR notesgarbage
- You don't really notice a 4 or so. They just happen. Seattle has its own vault lines, but also a big sleeping beast out west under the water.garbage
- The Cascadia subduction zone. When that slips, everything here will be fucked. They estimate it pulled a 9.0 a few hundred years ago.garbage
- https://www.atlasobs…garbage
- When that thing goes off again, it will be felt in Asia. It is unclear if any seismic activity will trigger Rainier, which is "decade volcano".garbage
- Meaning it's considered one a handful of "that heap of rock is going to fuck everyone up", considered deadliest stateside if it goes off.garbage
- @mono it was the calm down part of the comment, for those closer to epicenter of 4.8 it felt wild, for you to dismiss that is curious for someone 100 miles awaywhatthefunk
- 50 miles, and I’ve been at the center of much larger ones. Jesus Christ. Calm down!monospaced
- It was not “wild.” It was mild. It caused no damage or injury. I guess if you never felt one before you might have that reaction.monospaced
- So, that was my first earthquake Mono, am I allowed to refer to it as having been wild or is there another California approved adjective I should consider?!?whatthefunk

20 minutes before the eclipse began it clouded over and stayed cloudy until 20 minutes after the eclipse.

Nastya came to Frankfurt and I gave her a copy of my new book. There are 14 pages with her and I wrote her a personal note of how much she inspired me. She almost cried and was so happy. It was really heart-warming.

ChatGPT continues to satisfy when it comes to easy-to-implement HTML, CSS, and Javascript. Working on some prototypes for some work I'm hoping to land, needed some simple counters to count up from a starting number to another number, use ease-out and an editable timing to slow down as it reaches that number, needed it to be triggered with an event listener so it starts when it's visible in the viewport, and needed the ability to place a $ symbol before monetary numbers, or a % symbol after percentages.
Had the code in less than a minute, dropped it into place, and bang, worked like a charm.
Any of you using it for this reason or doing anything far more complex as far as code goes?
- https://www.youtube.…utopian
- Love it! Did you see that video where they input a pic of a whiteboard flowchart and it spit out a working a prototype? So coolnb
- @nb that is fake.sted
- it really is great for writing functions that i know I will spend 4 times as long debugging if i wrote it myself.BabySnakes
- Keep feeding it. It will feed your replacements. Half-coding is leading to full-coding, and human irrelevance. This has been projected for about a decade.garbage
- feeding it? it reads all the code examples and docs already online.BabySnakes
- i think this type of query is only useful for QC. do a search on some random lines from that code you will probably find a stackoverflow comment or a git reposted
- @snakes Not that simple. Any ML or GANs system requires successful input that results in passable output.garbage
- It's in the name. You feed it more input, and eventual result is the replacement of the creator. "Generative Adversarial Network".garbage
- Those engines are training engines we haven't even heard about, and they will be beyond Adobe-level subscription levels.garbage
- This conversation started a decade ago, and you'd have sounded insane about suggesting UBI, but it should have been where you put your votes.garbage
- I don't care how good you are at what you do, you will be replaced in the near future by something that can do your day's work better and faster.garbage
- TL:DR - AI isn't neat nor new.garbage
- lol @ "it's in the name." GPT = generative pre-trained transformers. Not a GAN.kingsteven
- I do all my coding in Cursor now which is a fork of VS code with GPT built in. It is shit but saves me a lot of googling. Can't even imagine the current gen AIkingsteven
- is a threat to anyone, it just saves time organising and copy/pasting (which is not coding!)kingsteven
- great for SQL, boilerplating and small apps for data conversion etc + and great for learning new things - it's just google with less steps.kingsteven
- I don't know where you took a wrong turn, but I never said GTP was a GAN.garbage
- The positive feedbacks are 100% feeding privatized GANs engines, and if you didn't know this years ago you're behind the game.garbage
- Anyone using Sensei on CC has been training their replacements for about a decade. This isn't conspiratorial, it's happening.garbage

I finished another feature script this morning before work. I have one more script thats on page 45 with 45 pages left to go and I can’t wait to jump back into it. Both of these scripts I started in mid January.
Then I’ll have 4 low budget feature scripts completed (2x for >300k and 2x for >200k production budgets )that I can package for 1M and shoot consecutively with the same crew, shared resources, and some if the same cast. I have some decent cast attached so far and a financier that’s interested but I gotta close the deal.
I’m just so excited to keep pushing.

This is the first Easter.. possibly ever.. that I've recognised the exstence of somewhat in advance. Usually it comes up as a dark surprise to fuck my schedule and expectations.Because the kid's in school, I am now acutely aware of upcoming holidays and such, however this year it would appear that roles are reversed and it's my clients who've been blind-sided by Easter's unexpected appearance. Oy vey.

Very slow weeks, work-wise, everyone is on vacation for holy week and easter now (6 projects stopped right now)... but also elections time, regional and EU that paralyze everything...
Except for the money issue, everything is going well, but there is always THAT black cloud that doesn't let us live in peace.
