  Just use a GitHub page. Super simple and driven by your source code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big-tech is evil but could Fediverse benefit from more small/medium for-profit companies?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I just gave boost $4 to remove the ads. I prefer OSS and Non Profits absolutely, but I also acknowledge that we live in a capitalist hellscape and good things take money.

  I know, I don’t like this dude a ton, but the first half of the video didna good job laying out the scandal imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decentralised social media offers an alternative to big tech platforms like X and Meta. How does it work? Podcast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For sure. I am starting communities on stuff I want to talk about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Decentralised social media offers an alternative to big tech platforms like X and Meta. How does it work? Podcast⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, the biggest issue to me is users. It is still pretty quiet in the niche communities where in reddit you’d have a lot of eyes for even the most obscure topics

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Two Years Later, This Awesome 3D-Printed Film Camera Is Available to All⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So cool

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Potential Decentralized Fediverse Alternative to Ko-fi, Patreon, etc.?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is kind of what crypto is supposed to solve. All of those platforms have to have a relationship with a payment processor and that means they may not compatible across instances. A federated space to share and display crypto wallets could do it maybe. But I don’t understand crypto really and feel like the current incarnations are scams.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is nearly always a contract and the business will submit tax paperwork with your compensation to the IRS.

  Under the table workers are illegal and on their own

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m an American and I’ve always had a contract. Even in retail. Of course the contracts are all bullshit and just a waiver of my rights.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t read it as humour I read it as a threat or perhaps a dig on trans folks?

  Regardless I didn’t need to escalate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, or even just budget cuts. I am sure it’s cheaper to just lock it down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was at a subsidiary of a very large company and had work slack, email, and all my code on my phone, without even the thing that lets them remote wipe your phone.

  It has to do with culture and willingness to put in the effort by the security organization

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What does your contract say? With this back to work bullshit I made sure my contract explicitly said I was remote.

  Doesn’t mean they won’t change their mind but maybe I’ll get severance instead of fired for cause of they have a back to the office push.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The hell does that mean? They are a shithead CEO, doesn’t need to be more than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I found a weird IP address on my network that had transmitted an insanely small amount of data. I put the address in my browser and got this. what the heck am I looking at?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That is IIS, all it means is you are probably talking to a windows server. Is the traffic encrypted? What port is it going to?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But but, we’ve been told Bethesda hears us and was fixing it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to the turn based RPG and RTS genres?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  An RTS yes, but not turn based. In fact I bet we don’t fine any turn based real time strategies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Could an American please prove me wrong?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lolol, was about to post that I played enough hoi4 to know what the south of France looks like

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meant to be eaten with Fudgie the Whale⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy reference. I have only seen the movie (I think the flower makes an appearance) but I have no idea what it’s about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you like it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve lifts NDA on Deadlock, streaming and talking about the game is now allowed.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Deadlock eh, never heard of it. Seems to be a valve Overwatch?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aaaaah⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Charlie horses are awful. It was hydration for me. When I drink enough water I don’t get them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think AI is falling into disillusionment and Quantum Computers feel at least 10 years behind.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought the connotation was chattel slavery, not BDSM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It is changing, albeit slowly. In git the default branch was changed from master to main.

  In high availability we use primary and secondary, or many other versions of the same idea (main/secondary, etc).

  Not sure how disks are handled these days but I haven’t seen the master/slave terminology in those since my first CD burner

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, she shouldn’t be doing any of that but we have no evidence she is the one that crashed. I bet I could do like 3 minutes of googling to find out, but meh.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tacoma Wept⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Tell me you didn’t forget about Jar Ass?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I need to survive for 3 days while pooping, and eating as much as possible. It can't take up too much space. What food do I pack?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If you want volume, go for as much veggies as you can. Try 4 large potatoes and a lb of black beans per day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This looks great. My Chromecast just died so I replaced it with a Google TV Chromecast thing, so I don’t have the bootloader exploit. Gonna look at the “unofficial” exploits they mention soon.

  Does lineage let you cast to it through?
