Someone with too much time and server space who decided to host a couple things because reasons.
- Comment on “They curdle like milk”: WB DVDs from 2006–2008 are rotting away in their cases - Ars Technica 1 hour ago:
Need to buy that 5th copy of the same media.
- Comment on fedi 4chan? 2 days 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 3 days ago:
- Comment on fedi 4chan? 4 days 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? 5 days 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 days 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 days 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.
- Comment on Israeli speaker of parliament calls for bombing food stocks in Gaza now that Israel has cut off their food and water. 1 week ago:
Genocide Joe’s fault…
Trump is too busy helping Putin to deal with this nonsense.
- Comment on Issues with Immich 1 week 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 1 week 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? 1 week 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.

- Comment on Experience with refurbished and recertified HDDs? 1 week ago:
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.
- Comment on I love the future. 1 week ago:
Stupid as it sounds, yes
- Comment on Issues with Immich 1 week ago:
Did you happen to unplug the external drive when it was moved? Could wonder if the device ID got changed and the server can’t find the old location for the library any longer.
- Comment on Why have an adversarial legal system? 2 weeks ago:
In the simplest sense, a separation of duties. If the judge was to be the sole decider of what is worth consideration then you have this individual functioning as an unquestioned king.
No single person is going to know every case, consider every angle, and have an inclination to pursue all points of view. Even the supreme court receives amicus briefs to guide a case.
An attorney has a duty to get the best possible outcome for their client, even if they disagree with what the client may have done. A single person judiciary could never have that position because they are effectively advocating both sides to themselves.
- Comment on Microsoft announces quantum computing breakthrough with new Majorana 1 chip 2 weeks ago:
Somehow advanced quantum computing ends up with a steampunk aesthetic.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
I’m kind of mixed on that depending on the game. In general I say I’d rather the kids play a game than watch a show because it’s interactive rather than just pushing mush into their face.
The other side though is how so many games (most notoriously mobile ones) are so keyed into scratching those little itches to keep someone playing for way longer than should be healthy.
- Comment on I'm doing my part! 2 weeks ago:
A lot of people using official channel emulators probably don’t think of it as emulation. I have one of the original style PS3 systems where it had PS2 hardware to play the older games. Does that count as emulation or using an older system? Hard to say where one draws the line.
- Comment on How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time 2 weeks ago:
Tooke a bit to explain to my kid why I was giggling when I realized the spirit of B&B was alive in a show he was watching.

You wouldn’t have happened to grow up watching a lot of Beavis and Butthead did you?

Can’t say I’ve ever seen anyone defend the system in play, just recognizing that it exists and until it’s changed in whatever means possible that playing the protest/spoiler is likely to make things worse.

I’ve been doing prints for probably 10+ years now and have yet to make one of these. Cute as it is I never quite got why that became the defacto standard test.
