I forgot how shitty Apple was. Got a 2019 Mac Pro off eBay and the seller removed management but not the Activation Lock which prevents you from adjusting secure boot. He contacted the firm he was selling for with the serial number and they got Activation Lock removed via the previous user's iCloud.

I installed Linux Mint just to make sure Linux worked, but I think I'm going to attempt a full Gentoo with the t2 kernel overlay.

96GB of DDR4 and and a 16-core (32-thread) Xeon for $2066 (including taxes/shipping)! It has an AMD in it (5700X I think?) which should still be supported under ROCm. I plan on 3D printing a bracket to add another power supply internally so I can add in my AMD R9700 and an older 3080-Ti.

I should be able to run my video, image and even a small LLM on this thing between the 3 cards. Loading times will be a little slower than a modern CPU, but it shouldn't be significant.

I've only played [Persona 5 Royal](https://battlepenguin.com/gaming/planet-of-lana-doki-doki-literature-club-strikey-sisters-persona-5-royale/#persona-5-royal), but afterwards I discovered I just got the Persona 5 ending, and all the characters the were new were the ones I avoided because they were stupid annoying .. and watching videos of the Royal ending, I'm glad I got the original ending because the Royal endings were all stupid.

I've thought about trying another Persona game, but have been unsure because P5R was just way too long. The game itself was fun but it sorta just fell flat overall.

I was skeptical of a lot of it, and still am in many respects. But I've also started doing development where [I write full specs](https://battlepenguin.com/tech/experimenting-with-lazy-spec-driven-development/) for the AI demons, and most models get things correct within 2~3 iterations. It's great for small, self-contained workflow projects, some that have been on the Backlog-of-Life™️ for years!

https://forge.sumit.im/djsumdog

Some of these tasks, like decrypting Microsoft Teams keys and archiving chats, would have probably taken me 2~3 days worth of work, where a coding harness can achieve it using Opus 4.8 in ~50 minutes. The code isn't that bad either.

But I do agree, there isn't a sense of ownership anymore. At the same time, there are huge benefits to creating one off specialized deterministic programs for very specific workflows. Yet, it's not easy to get the machine to design something unless you yourself know how to design it and spec it out correctly.

Data centers: I don't like the expansion of AI data centers. ...

2026-07-18T16:01:37Z

Data centers:

I don't like the expansion of AI data centers. I do think it's a bubble, they're not building out for capacity (I doubt current OpenAI/Anthropic/Coreweave/etc. usage even gets to half of current capacity) and I think the people pushing this bubble are lying to us about what it's for (there isn't enough software or 5-titty anime cat girl animation or even mass surveillance software being produced to justify this insane build-out).

There is a lot of anit-data center stuff out there. This is where things get confusing, because I know real people in this field.

I have a buddy who does massive facility contracts. He's been in the new Google buildouts in Georgia/Alabama. They do consume a lot of water, but most of it goes back to the city, and a lot of it is closed loop. He went on about the glycol, air cooling and towers, and he talked about carpet factories he'd planned build-outs for use more water and flush more waste water than the AI data centers.

I did push back on some things that he acknowledged: there is a lot of evaporation even in these "closed loops," and if you evaporate a gigaliter of water, it leaves your watershed. That floats 300 miles away and does devastate farms.

He did acknowledge power and noise were big concerns, but claims the water thing is misrepresented.

Oddly though, he' said the water doesn't run into the racks. I was like, "Yea they do. Supermicro and nvidia make racks that have a column of in/out water ports." He's literally been at a new 2026 Google buildout and said the actual racks were still air cooled.

---

Last night I was talking to a friend about this. Two older people at the bars, looked into their 50s, decided to chime in. One was an electrician. His wife said their son worked in building out these data centers and she's been in a Meta data center and how it was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.

I did get them to acknowledge eminent domain by Georgia Power was an issue. The guy was like "they can still use the land" .. no they can't. Powerlines get sprayed by herbicide. It's not an easement, they take all the land and split your property. The couple acknowledged this wasn't good.

The couple really pushed back on the noise thing, a lot. But I've seen so many videos about the noise; people holding up meters in videos where you can hear the constant drone! .. I've never been in a hyperscaler or Amazon data center ... but I have been in a ton of smaller data centers. They're all loud. I mean, you can still talk over it. It's white noise, but it's not silent. It's kinda nice if you have to work in them for a few hours. Air conditioned and chill. But any more than 4 hours and I'd get cold, agitated and just want the fucking thing to work so I could go back to my desk.

But to their credit, the guy said he had been in the data centers with the water racks. He didn't know they were mostly Supermicro and he didn't know the names of the specific nvidia units, but he claimed he had seen them. He said if one unit goes bad, the remove the entire rack and replace it. Maybe these racks really are quiet?

I also didn't ask the woman what the noise levels were outside the data center. If it's silent inside but horrible a quarter mile out, that's bad for everyone in the community.

The couple actually started by injecting themselves in our conversation, but then paid their tab and moved to a table. I don't know if I challenged their views or they just didn't want to continue. It was weird.

----

Now I really want to take a few days off and drive to some of these sites. I want to know if the noise is really as bad as what I've seen on the YouToobs.

Everyone is really heated about this stuff. That couple and other friends I have have a vested interest in protecting data center build-outs because it's a lot of money for them. Another buddy who sells transformers is making a killing on sales commissions.

I wonder what the true reality is over these things.

So, Fen-Phen v2.0?

The parents can block traffic (buy software or routers) with ease. Some might say, "well they'll just get around it." So? The parent can make their moral stance clear. They might even say, "I look at porn sometimes too, but I feel guilty because I know it's wrong," if they want to be honest.

That can instill the value, even if society can't really stop proliferation. The kid knows why their parents believe whatever and can choose to act on it or ignore it.

If the parent doesn't care .. then whatever. The kid can hold that value, or go all trad and reject it for themselves. Maybe it doesn't matter and the kid grows up fine? Maybe the grow up to live in a goon cave? Who knows?

That's why the age verification stuff is so BS. It's a backdoor to individual digital identities, under the guise of the anti-porns wanting to mandate their ideology on all the "don't cares" because "Reee! No, people are hurting their kids if they don't block their access; so we should block everyone's!"

Last item I sold got damaged in shipping.

I had to go to my bank to force a charge back, and I think they just paid it instead of charging back to eBay, which kinda just made me more angry.

I stopped using eBay for a while after that, but there are just some parts I can't find anywhere else and I don't want to go back to Amazon (who I haven't used since 2016). Mercari requires uploading your photo ID to sell there, so fuck them.

The 12 jurors at the trial viewed all the evidence and came to the conclusion it was self defense. He's legally and factually innocent of any crimes.

> There was no arrest of Zimmerman and the scene wasn't treated like a crime scene or secured. You know damn well it would have gone another way had things gone another way.

Because it was a clear cut case of self defense. Zimmerman had no criminal history what-so-ever and cooperated fully with police. The prosecutor literally made up a witness (Diamond Eugene) and got her to purger herself and faced zero consequences. The jury saw through this deception.

This is covered in that documentary and in other sources you'll never bother looking up because your mind is made up and closed, or you're an incredibly good troll.

> Fact: 911 responded instructed Zimmerman not to pursue Martin

> Fact: Zimmerman chose to pursue Martin leading to a physical altercation

> Your other mistake is treating a 911 operator as creating an injunction upon Zimmermann's activity or somehow detaining his freedom of movement.

Exactly! If some man walks up behind you and asks why you're in his apartment complex, it gives you zero right to start beating the fuck out of him. The 911 operator said "I don't need you to do that," but there was nothing illegal or morally wrong with Zimmerman doing what he was doing.

Martin had a history of getting into fights. The text messages in the evidence showed he got into DOZENS of fights at school. Even his black friends kept texting him to stop getting in fights! The witnesses in the apartment complex said he threw the first punch.

For your world view to be valid, you have to ignore: the jury, the sworn witness testimony, the police reports, the text messages submitted into evidence, everything else entered into evidence at the trial.

You refuse to look at the evidence I posted which isn't a mainstream source, but all of the primary sources showed the jury Zimmerman was innocent and Martin was assaulting him.

_________________________

I can tell you didn't watch the documentary or even the interview with Zimmerman near the beginning. The facts: Travyon had zero injuries other than the gun shot wound. All the neighbors witnessed him punching Zimmerman relentlessly. He was literally beating Zimmerman's skull into the concrete. Martin didn't live there, Zimmerman did. He had no reason to be there, and when a man on neighborhood watch asks why he's there, the man starts to beat him to death. It's all literally in the 911 call (which CNN deceptively edited to make Zimmerman seem racist).

Most people don't know, Zimmerman also volunteered with big brothers/sisters and mentored two black kids for about a year. So neighborhood watch, volunteer mentor? Seems like someone trying to do something positive.

Zimmerman was found innocent in a court of law because he was innocent. A man has a right to shoot someone who is beating them to death unprovoked. Martin was not murdered. He is not a victim. He died by his poor choices.

You have a weird interpretation of self defense.

Being pardoned for Jan 6th doesn't clear them of other crimes. You sound like you're fine with 1200 innocent people going to prison if it means 20 guilty people go with them. That's text-book authoritarianism. That's the opposite of justice.

> I get it, you don't see a correlation between conservatism and pedophilia, despite it being present everywhere on this network.

What connection? I'm pretty sure there are as many pedo purple blue hair freaks as they are Catholic priests. There are a lot of pedos out there.

I don't believe in the fake left/right divide. People are not split that way. That's the government making you angry and you eat it up because you believe everything you see on the TVs or the YouToobs.

> you are still going out of your way to try to complain about protestors burning pig property

There are countries without police. Go live there. I don't think police are the problem or the solution. They're hired to be trained and follow the rules. You fix the laws and training and things get better. Bullies have been an issue, but body cameras have made a massive difference.

Have you ever known a police officer? Had dinner with his wife and kids? Talked to him at church? You are condemning an entire career of people society depends on, and the thing is .. no matter how much you hate "the pigs," one will still be there helping that paramedic when you keel over from your heart attack, and then the hate you have in your heart will just be sadness.

> I'm assuming you weren't aware of the Rodney King protests and riots either

Rodney King was on PCP. His other passenger surrendered and was taken into custody without innocent. Rodney King was back in prison later btw .. for PCP.

Zimmerman was found innocent because Trayvon Martin cracked his skull open and he had skittles in his hooked because he was addicted to mixing it with soda and codeine or Robitussin (Lean) as was revealed in his text messages entered into trial. The prosecutor couldn't find Trayvon's girlfriend, so they got a fat woman who was facing identity they charges to lie under oath and pretend to be her:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAw5ykIPOBM

(_The Trayvon Hoax: Unmasking the Witness Fraud that Divided America_, 2020)

Michael Brown ran at a cop with a knife because he wanted to suicide by cop:

(_What Killed Micahel Brown_, 2020, Steele)

George Floyd was a carefully orchestrated psychological operation. I feel sorry for Floyd because he probably didn't know he was going to die, and Chavin probably didn't know he was going to go to prison. They were patsies for a race war narrative:

[The Timeline Of George Floyd With Maryam Henein and Sean Hibbeler](https://vid.samtripoli.com/w/9tSchRYLV2GnNEpoXjzRcM)

[The Real Timeline](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt25694238/) (2023).

The total number of unarmed black people killed is very low. The false victimhood narrative hurts their entire people more than it help. It's suicidal empathy.

In reference to the actual article, we're talking 1500 people total. If you slam a jar down over a bunch of bees, you're going to get some ants in there. You blanket arrest 1500 protestors, you're going to get some actual criminals in there statically. The article focuses on a few specific cases .. but it looks like most of those people got arrested again anyway. Career criminals usually do. Do we imprison everyone who happens to be at a protest where some are not good people? Less than a fraction of that number were arrested in the Chicago riots, and I watched them burn down police cruisers from my apartment.

Jan 6th was a psychology operation melt to melt the brains of people who can't think critically, as was the Floyd psyop as well.

Why? Most did little to nothing at all. And does it matter if they were pardoned if they were held and tortured for years?

https://battlepenguin.com/politics/the-new-political-prisoners-of-america/

It's **exactly** like Bradly Manning crying and thanking the bastard who's justice department went after him viciously and put him in prison. To be clean, Manning was an idiot who broke his oath and did probably deserve what he got. None of the Jan 6th people did a damn thing in that psychological operation where paid federal agitators (Ray Epps and Nick Fuentes faced zero jail time and they told people to charge in; both are obviously on some federal payroll somehow).

> Most got out pardoned by Trump and went on to committ sexual offensives, many against children.

What the fuck are you talking about?

> it's disingenuous to pretend Obama had had the same level of evidence of pedophilia against him as Trump and even Joe Biden

Obama was pretty fucking bad man. He tried to take America to war with Syria and carpet bombed Libya. He implemented a pretty horrible and worthless health care system that gave more money to the insurance industry. He faked the assassination of Obama Bin Laden to help during the election year (if you believe that's real, I don't think you know how to objectively look at propaganda).
