    Back in my skydiving days, I coached jumpers just off student status on their canopy flying skills. Everything from packing, to learning how to shoot accuracy. I even taught high performance landings, though I drew the line at hook turns.

    While I was never known as “CanopyFlyer” at my home DZ, I was known as someone that a student could come to and get good safe coaching. A couple of my students are now doing it professionally and you’ve seen them in the movies. Although, their skills have far outstripped anything I’ve taught them. I’m proud to have least provided them a foundation that they could build on.

    Been playing finnish on Duolingo for couple of months and been generally interested in finnish language for a while now. I found my username in a dictionary. It means when the weather is not hot or cold but just right.

      Kind of, but not really. More like “(unusually) warm for cold season”. You wouldn’t say that the weather is “lauha” in the summertime. I think “leuto” is maybe closer to the weather being pleasant/ideal.

    Back in 1998, I overclocked a 486DX2 66MHz to 80MHz.

    Back in 2003 or 2004, I overclocked a 1280x1024 CRT monitor from 1994 to 2048x1536 resolution.

    Back in 2006 or 2007, I overclocked a Pentium 4 motherboard to support CPUs beyond the listed max of 2.4GHz to 2.53GHz.

    So, it only made sense, like who the fuck overclocks CRT monitors? It was about that time I picked my username. I’m still signed up with Yahoo with this username, if that site even still exists today 😂

    Edit: The underscore is deliberate, it makes it a little confusing to verbally say my username, like “over under score clocks?”…

        Yes. Well, the older ones anyways, before they got full digital phase locking anyways.

        I had a dumb but rather high tech 15 inch CRT for it to have come from 1994. No smart logic though, just a few relays you had to trigger with certain frequencies. No error messages, no safety checks, the thing either accepted the signal or it didn’t. Or it could explode, that was the fun in trying, and yeah it actually worked and didn’t explode!

        How did I do it? Well, by then I had an XP system and an Nvidia GeForce FX 5200. Wait, this was in late 2005 or early 2006 come to think of it…

        Anyways, I checked all the details of the monitor’s supported frequencies, both horizontal and vertical. I found the max resolution, while compromising on the framerate, I used 25Hz interlaced to achieve that, with the Nvidia Control Center of the time…

        Ok well I’m a 50-year-old heterosexual woman and my intuition tells me you’re not an 18-year-old woman.

        Your deluge of sexually hilarious & thought-provoking posts & memes have been fun & entertaining but 99.9% of accounts dedicated to sexual topics claiming to be from an 18F are LYING about their age & gender.

        Because “18F’s” are the rare unicorn of internet users, and more people pretend to be one than actually exist.

        A real 18-year-old woman with this much spice & insight & humor would not be wasting her life & her free time with lemmy losers unless warming everyone up for manipulative purposes.

        Real 18-year-old girls don’t think or behave like that.

        This violet08 Lemmy account smells like an older person with more life experience than an 18-year-old.

        But you carry on because hilarious enjoyable posts but whoever you really are, DON’T MANIPULATE PEOPLE.

      Does that not strike you as boring?

      Like do you identify in any way with that moniker?

      I feel like I would forget my username.

      • I don’t need to remember my username. Nor do I need to identify with it. In my ideal world, being online would be completely anonymous, with absolutely no way for the government to censor or identify a person. But we don’t live in an ideal world. So to make it harder for groups like Palantir or the FBI to identify me, I compartmentalize all my digital activity. New names and identities for every service I use. No contact or overlap between them.

    Slammed some letters together in a way that produces somewhat pronouncable word. Absolutely zero meaning behind it.

        That would be the “modern” version. At some point it changed from “Super User Do” to “Switch User Do”.

        Or Wikipedia is wrong. Which can happen.

          Nowdays it seems to be “Substitute User Do”, following su command’s meaning. Not that this is really of any importance relating to your username :D
