What do you call a group of people all searching the web at the same time?

Because nothing says “body building food” like pop tarts.

Where's Alta Vista when we need it?

Anyone here ever use ncftp?  Did you love it like I did? Today I realized I could ask Claude to make me a clone that uses scp instead of ftp.  Enough feature compatible that your 30 year old muscle memory will still work.

Be aware that it's in Python, a language I do not know, and was written by AI, so adjust your tinfoil hat accordingly.  That said, it simply shells out to ssh/scp, so it can't get too crazy.

If you try it, please let me know.

I play bass, but sing tenor. This seems like a metaphor for the internal struggles of Man.

#WordPress pro tip: If you're going to work on a post for a long time (hours or days) and are accustomed to using the Publish button as a Save button, and don't want to risk accidentally publishing early, set the publish date to 1000 years in the future.

Yesterday I was cooking some fries in the air fryer. Just for kicks I put some slices in a bratwurst and put it in with them, for the whole amount of time. #ThisIsTheWay
