• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp is adding the ability to save contacts within the app independently from your smartphone’s address book.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If this means I can deny WhatsApp access to my regular contacts and still have a decent user experience I’m all for it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have the weirdest aesthetic preferences⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fully agree!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Some Feminist Tips⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  None of them have anything to do with feminism though, except maybe #2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So what are #FreeBSD folks doing for multi-node, high availability file systems? I looked at #Gluster, but that doesn't work. I'm starting to look at #minio, but it's an S3-oriented API.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Object storage (the S3 API stuff) is the most logical answer here, it’s much simpler and thus more reliable than solutions like Gluster, and the abstraction actually matches your use case. Otherwise something like an NFS share from a central fileserver works too.

  But I agree with the other comment that you’re trying to do kubernetes on hard mode and most likely with a worse result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The First Dune Game 32 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Absolutely love this game. Played it from beginning to end on the PC multiple times over the decades. The original floppy version that is, not the poncy CD version he’s using! 😂

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why has Firefox not removed third-party cookies, despite the fact that Chrome has begun phasing them out?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Firefox has been able to block all third-party / cross-site cookies for ages. It’s just not the default because it breaks some sites. But dive into the settings and you can easily set it to block all cross-site cookies, or even all cookies if you prefer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please recommend your cheaper, reliable SSDs 2TB+ (4TB ideal)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I agree with your post, but I was responding to Valmond who used different criteria.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please recommend your cheaper, reliable SSDs 2TB+ (4TB ideal)⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can have all three of those, but you won’t get great performance. The Samsung QVO SATA drives are a great example. I wouldn’t use those for an OS drive but they’re fantastic for NAS or media use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why don’t EVs have standard diagnostic ports—and when will that change? | OBD-II was implemented to monitor emissions, but EVs don't have tailpipes.⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My i3 has an OBD-II port, and it’s not the only EV that has one. Bimmercode can change A LOT of vehicle settings through the port, and software like ABRP can use it to read out the battery level and route you to the next charger when needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I use two different drives?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If everything went fine during production you’re probably right. But there have definitely been batches of hard disks with production flaws which caused all drives from that batch to fail in a similar way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The best MMOs in 2023 - PCGamer⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There are more errors. Eve Online is 20 years old, not 18. He even lists 2003 as the release year. And Palia has been playable for a couple of months now, so it could have included far more information than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Space is starting to look like the better mining operation⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It really isn’t. We know it’s possible, we roughly know how to build one, it’s only our material science that isn’t there yet. But there are promising leads in that direction and with the right investments that problem looks solvable.

  With FTL our current science is saying that it’s probably impossible and will never happen. We might be wrong about that, but if we are it’s not going to be cracked anytime soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the weapon damage displayed in the inventory menu affected by combat tree skills?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it does, for most of the skills. If you really want to know how damage works in Starfield here’s a good YouTube video describing how it actually works: youtu.be/Na-byGrNFcU?si=eL43ifhHzZUVyqWc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MMO mouse recommendations?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Take a look at the Azeron Cyro. It combines a high quality mouse, a ton of programmable buttons and a thumbstick, so it has everything you need for one-handed gaming in the vast majority of games. Might not be what you’re looking for, but it’s good to know that there are possibilities that you probably haven’t considered yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Which problems? As far as I can tell this solves zero problems for users of websites. Wanting to replace captchas with this is just another arms race that normal users will suffer from.
