Lol, no. I have family members that actively called him a n****r while he was in office.
- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 5 days ago:
Agreed, my wife and I had that conversation recently, as it happens. Though, for some things, there are other benefits. Herbs is the best example, even the fresh, packaged herbs that you can buy at a grocery will be noticeably not-as-good as something that you picked fresh in the backyard 2 minutes ago. Dill, basil, thyme, mint, what have you. I’ve found the same to be true of things like bell peppers and jalapenos.

Fucking nerd.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 week ago:
Main difference there being that switching cities means probably switching ISPs. You can absolutely carry over your IP address when you move between the same provider, if that’s part of your service plan, and that may well happen with some ISPs even without it being part of your plan. There just isn’t really much of a need for people to carry a static IP, except for some businesses, and I’d say the main reason is that people don’t visit websites by memorizing and typing in an IP. They do memorize and type in phone numbers.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 2 weeks ago:
They do, it’s called an IP address.
Phones get numbers assigned to them by a cell service provider, in order to communicate on their network, which is basically the exact process for computers and IP addresses.
If you’re asking about the equivalent of like a SIM card, in the computer/internet world, that’s handled at higher layers, by digital certificates. And again, the process is almost exactly the same, except they don’t (usually) get put on physical chips.
- Comment on All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week 2 weeks ago:
Unironically, yes. Everything we had 20 years ago, but worse.
- Comment on [Weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? 2 weeks ago:
Dishwasher’s back together and has run 3 successful loads so far, so here’s hoping the 6th time’s the charm.
I am monstrously far behind on everything else, after dealing with that over the weekend, and then meetings on Monday and today.
Pikmin 2 has been fun, so far.
- Comment on FTC fines Razer for every cent made selling bogus “N95 grade” RGB masks 2 weeks ago:
I feel like this is the first time I’ve EVER heard of a fine being “all the profits you made from the fraud.” Is tuis for real? Why the hell is it Razer, of all companies, that’s getting a proper punishment?
- Comment on Factorio devs detail their 'Linux adventures' in a new blog post 3 weeks ago:
I adore posts like these (the Factorio blog one, that is), that go into low level detail.
- Comment on Women Who Code: Influential tech network shuts down unexpectedly 4 weeks ago:
The most recent annual report, for 2022, showed the charity made almost $4m that year, while its expenses were just under $4.2m.
A $200k budget shortfall with $4m revenue is not a “we’re insolvent” situation, it’s a “we need to cut $200k worth of events and other expenses” situation. I wonder what the full story is here?
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 5 weeks ago:
Gotta be Breath of the Wild, for me. Taken together with Tears of the Kingdom, the series’ storytelling and immersion has never been better, I think, and as a game, Breath of the Wild was the tighter, more-satisfying experience, overall.

So, wait, Mocrosoft is finally goving us a way to fully-disable automatic Windows Updates?

- Comment on Does The New York Times Actually Care About Mass Shootings? 5 weeks ago:
I say “almost certainly black” because kids as young as 12 were out on a downtown city street, unsupervised, at 11:36 p.m. the night before Easter;
Eeeeeat shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.
- Comment on Microsoft blocks even more customization apps in Windows 11 version 24H2 1 month ago:
Alternatively, it was after Apple’s explosion in popularity that professionals in graphical design started taking over most of the reigns of UI development, and actual UX became bottom priority. I.E. it was when the majority of Windows development started being done by Apple users, using Apple devices.
- Comment on What web services do you subscribe to? 1 month ago:
A couple of video streaming services, Hulu, which includes Disney+, Discovery+ and Netflix. That totals up to like $50/mo or so.
Other than that, it’s aaaallllll independent creators, through Twitch or Patreon.
- Comment on The real personality test 1 month ago:
Protip: don’t even engage with those systems. Just press 0. Every time it prompts you to say something to proceed. Has yet to fail me.
- Comment on Short games with lots of replay value? 1 month ago:
Hades probably fits.
- Comment on Why is defederation an option when Limit/Mute exist? 2 months ago:
Defederation is an administrative solution, specifically for when the user-facing tools like muting and blocking aren’t enough. It’s the solution against instance admins that aren’t capable or willing to moderate their users, or that are actively malicious.
- Comment on FCC Denies Starlink Low-Orbit Bid for Lower Latency 2 months ago:
So, what you’re saying is, their current setup is working for you, and their new proposal for lower-orbit satellites isn’t really necessary?

- Comment on ‘Demon Slayer: To The Hashira Training Arc’ Gets A Crunchyroll Release Date as 12th of May 2 months ago:
Awfully quick since the last chunk. Hope that doesn’t mean they’re over-working the animators. It probably does, though.

- Comment on What is your preferred method for backing up several TB of data? 2 months ago:
rsync, for sure. That’s what I used when I had to migrate a 10TB datastore to a new machins.
- Comment on Nginx core developer quits project in security dispute, starts “freenginx” fork 2 months ago:
There was another article I read that had a snippet from F5. As I read it, their concern was that they have two release tracks: the paid/subscription track, and the free track. They are actually the same code, but the free track is just 2 releases behind, so the idea is that if you want the “latest and greatest” stuff, you gotta pay. It’s a fairly common strategy in the industry.
So, the concern is that for security vulnerabilities that are not CVEs, info about the vulnerability (and how to exploit it) is out in the wild for two whole releases, before the patch reaches the free-tier users.
Seems like an actively good position on F5’s part, from this angle.
- Comment on Scientists develop game-changing 'glass brick' that could revolutionize construction: 'The highest insulating performance' 2 months ago:
Me, I’m noticing the distinct lack of any information on cost or cost-effectiveness.
- Comment on How do you approach learning a new programming language or framework? 3 months ago:
Build something that already exists. My go-to is usually dir.exe.
- Comment on DEATH STRANDING 2: ON THE BEACH – State of Play Announce Trailer 3 months ago:
I can’t decide if Kojima is putting the acid industry out of business, because his games are enough of a trip already, or singlehandedly propping the industry up because he’s obviously consuming it all himself.
- Comment on ICANN proposes creating .INTERNAL domain 3 months ago:
A DNS Proxy/Forwarder server? That’s where you would configure how your .internal domain resolves to IPs on your internal network. Machines inside the network make their DNS queries to that server, which either serves them from cache, or from the local mappings, for forwards them off to a public/ISP server.
