Someone with too much time and server space who decided to host a couple things because reasons.
- Comment on Will Lemmy instances be forced to verify users' ~~ages~~ identities? 1 week ago:
I really don’t see that happening. The internet and the real people that build it tend to be innovative tinkerers and hackers. Things get built because there is a need and someone tries to say they can’t. P2P, darkness, proxies, VPNs, heck the whole concept of the fediverse defies the idea of control by an external entity. So they may try, but the chances are slim it works.

Maybe people will be satisfied when they can put their TV under a microscope to determine the actor’s sperm count…
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 1 week ago:
It’s been observed that the porn industry is often one of the first adapters of new media tech before they become commonplace, but I’m not sure some things need to be shown in that high a resolution.
- Comment on Immortals must be riddled with cancer thanks to gene errors in their dna replication. 2 weeks ago:
Maybe, but immortality also tends to come with things like extraordinary capabilities for self repair and by extension disease resistance, so maybe they get some sort of error correcting code in their DNA replication to go with it.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 2 weeks ago:
It happens, the ‘did I miss a cue’ can be brutal if it keeps replaying. Only real answer I know is being content with your own self and if someone also happens to fall into that same space all the better. People get so inundated with images of what’s ‘possible’ which a good chunk of it’s enhanced with selective posting and filters, so we get some unrealistic view of what a normal happy life is supposed to be.
As for the sending pics, shitty people aren’t worth the brain space to stress over, you dodged a bullet there.

How dare you imply my ego is fragile?! Don’t question me!

I’d say he’s full of shit…
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 month ago:
Long running troll, posts a bunch of hyper-capitalist, winner take all, libertarian bullshit. I’d almost call it a bit.
- Comment on The boy ain't right 1 month ago:
None of that amature level pain here.

Meanwhile I got an email from GOG having a sale on the same today…

You got F’d when you 69’d in school? Sounds wild.

A cafe selling ‘cum drops’ in Bangkok, they knew what they where doing.
- Comment on Chromecast (2nd gen) and Audio cannot Cast in 'Untrusted' outage 5 months ago:
I have to think there’s some project out there where you could plug a 3.5 to RCA adapter into a Pi and use it in a similar fashion. Maybe would need a bridge app from the ‘cast’ function to connect to it, but I expect not impossible.
- Comment on What could cause one to randomly twitch? 6 months ago:
Closest thing I can say to that is when I’m in a sort of half sleep state I’ll have a reaction if I happen to dream/think of stepping off something and try and catch myself in real life. Essentially the brain playing tricks on my body.

Need to buy that 5th copy of the same media.
- Comment on fedi 4chan? 6 months ago:
Yeah, was kind of clunky worded way to say ‘no ID’, /. Has screen names but in chan world everyone is the same ‘anonymous’. When everyone is faceless and nameless people tend to let the ugly out with ease.
- Comment on I am at a loss on words 6 months ago:
- Comment on fedi 4chan? 6 months ago:
Anyplace that allows, or in the case of 4chan, encourages purely Anon posting is going to be a cesspit. When there’s no accountability, no ID of any sort (even a screen name) to tie actions against then there’s no reputation to protect. It might be pleasant at first, but you can bet it won’t stay that way for long.
- Comment on Is it possible to design a (pen and paper) cipher that is secure against government cryptanalysis for at least 10 years? 6 months ago:
I was wondering if someone might recognize that

Yeah, but I’m probably more ancient than those get whatever that means…
- Comment on 8BitDo Has Announced The Successor To Its Ultimate Wireless Controller | Time Extension 6 months ago:
I only recently came to know of this company when I was looking for an upgrade for the old Logitech ones I’ve been using for Recalbox. Sounds like someone I’ll have to get familiar with.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 6 months ago:
Phones became more frequently used for apps and posting which is a pain on a tiny screen. I built a pi zero powered retro console but actually using the tiny screen of about 3" makes it near impossible to read anything.
I would like to see things return to having replaceable batteries, headphones jacks and maybe slide out keys, but if I have to type and read on the same screen it’s awful nice to have some room to work with.

Trump is too busy helping Putin to deal with this nonsense.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 6 months ago:
Indeed they do use 11x but it’s still a possibility to cause issues. It’s entirely possible to manage a fleet of IPs across a net but it takes a solid plan organization plan. My company is big on the acquiring companies game where IP overlaps are a perpetual challenge when merging sites in and you need a mess of snat/dnat conversions to keep routing from getting in a knot.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 6 months ago:
While handy on a personal net, on a larger corporate net this isn’t practical and even adds a security risk. By having servers request leases you run the chance that someone gets into a segment, funds the ARP association for an IP/MAC combo and can take over a server’s spot simply by spoofing their own MAC to match at the time of lease renewal.
In the post above about setting a static address in two spots that in itself isn’t required either. So long as there are no duplicates you would just set the static address on the end device, then the network will sort it out with ARP ‘who has’ requests in local segments, or routing in the case of distinct subnets.
- Comment on Why does most religion talk about their GOD being male? Especially Christains and Muslims. Is there a prominent female god that as big as the other two that I am missing? 6 months ago:
He - and if there is a God, I am convinced he is a he, because no woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly.

I’ve used plenty of them with no problems for years. Just so long as you have redundancy in place like a good RAID setup there’s little risk of losing anything.
