jiberish@lemmy.worldto Videos@lemmy.world•Bobby Fingers - Joe Rogan and The Black Keys Diorama2·6 months agoThis was inspired from The Black Key’s talking about Bobby Fingers on JRE, but couldn’t remember his name. So he made a diorama and a song in the style of the Black Eye Keys to help them remember his name the next time they go on a podcast.
Coincidentally, I also recently referenced Bobby Fingers because of the Drunk Mel Gibson Diorama video. And, much like the Drummer for the Blacks Eye Keys, I also couldn’t remember the name. Just like Joe Rogan, my spouse quickly changed the subject to UFOs and UFCs.
You better believe I won’t forget the name of Old Bobby Fingers after I listen to this amazing song every day of the rest of my short, miserable existence. I can’t stop hearing my own inner dialogue in the voice of Bobby Fingers now. Send help.

jiberish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the worst movie that you enjoy watching?2·7 months agoThat may be so, but “Just Hanging Out With My Family” is a stone cold banger of a song that must be played every time I hang out with my family.
I’ve struggled with digital organizing for decades. I tried tons of strategies from other people. There’s lots of good ideas, but ultimately you have to find something that works for you. I take some ideas from other systems and tweak them in ways that make sense for me.
I heavily rely on the default indexing of my OS. KDE is great, but most OSes have pretty good file searching tools. Just make sure to label files or at least folders in ways that are searchable.
Backups are super important (3 copies, 2 different types of media, 1 copy off site). I like to structure my data in a way that is easy to back up. I have a folder called “ephemeral” for stuff that I don’t care to back up so I don’t waste precious space. But i also try to have way more space than i need. I have a 4TB ssd on my main laptop and am planning on upgrading to 8TB soon. I have two different ZFS RAID3 arrays on my server where I copy data too. I started using syncthing to keep different types of media backed up between multiple computers. That way I can decide which computer is connected to which data set. Then I take regular backups of the sever to external drives and rotate those backup off site monthly.
I like to have a folder called “archive” where i put things that I want to hold on to, but will probably never need regular access too.
I also have a sensitive data folder for things that need to be on encrypted drives like financial statements, social security, passwords, ssh keys. Keeping it together helps me from forgetting it on an unencrypted drive. I had a laptop stolen once and it sucked not knowing what they may have pulled from it.
I have a media folder that contains folders for basic file types like documents, pictures, books, music, etc. The ephemeral folder has the same folder structure, but contains files that i don’t care if they disappear or get deleted. It is annoying to keep up with this though. But investing in storage space buys me time to not deal with it.
It will never be perfect so I learned how to stop worrying and love the search.

I would love to check this out. How does this work with expired domains?
jiberish@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your best tips for falling asleep?6·8 months agoComplete darkness. Black out curtains on windows. Remove anything that has a light. I can see the tiny LED light on a charging cable through my eyelids. I fall asleep so much faster after getting rid of all light sources.
No alcohol. Drinking would make me fall asleep easily, but I would wake up in the middle of the night and couldn’t fall back asleep for 1 to 2 hours every time.

Seriously, as an IT person, I still never know what most of my USB ports are capable of, but I’m glad they are backwards compatible. If something is slow, then I try a different cable and port.
jiberish@lemmy.worldto Parenting@lemmy.world•What is the latest funny thing that your child did or said recently?6·10 months ago“Quack” ended up being “cock”. Very clearly articulated. Every bird he sees is a “COCK!” It made our lakeside vacation interesting.

When my son was just picking up words, he heard us say “the batteries are about to die” and he copied it immediately. Then all night, it was “die die die die die”
