He barely has to wipe.
- Comment on "Rizz", "cooking" and "based" are going to be stereotypical old people words one day 5 days ago:
This version of cook seems aligned with “hold on.”
As in “it’s not yet apparent that what’s happening makes sense/is good.”
Where’s that tiktok linguist kid when ya need him.
- Comment on How do phone scammers work? I get them trying to get another persons money. But how do they get all the info and now can do voice fakes. I highly doubt they just pick a random person and say fuck them 1 week ago:
There’s huge outfits of scammers.
They buy data. Phone numbers, emails, sometimes passwords etc.
They phish, they smish, they vish.
When a fish ends up on rheine they try to reel em in

If you don’t have a specific goal, here are some ideas.
Build a NAS.
Use a bunch of small PCs or pis, build a CA, a DNS server. Make an db server and an app server.
Get shit running on your network.
Suit them all up with ELK stack.
Misbehave on your own network. Go find evidence for your misbehaving.
DoS yourself.
Without goals it’s tough to give ideas beyond general like this.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 week ago:
I imagine this will actually create competition. Android is open source. It can be forked.
- Comment on YSK 4get is a privacy respecting proxy search engine that can be self hosted 1 week ago:
This, while funny, sounds like this person made Fork of a project instead of… Going through the configs.
- Comment on Tea is basically just salad water. 1 week ago:
Coffee is bean soup.
- Comment on That white guy on the Cracker Barrel logo they were trying to get rid of.. Is his name just Cracker? 2 weeks ago:
Nah then it’d be Cracker’s Barrel
- Comment on Would you ever give up your right to leave a bad review about a company? 2 weeks ago:
"One star
Literally made me sign a contract saying I would t leave a negative review. Speaks for itself. "

Maybe instead of complaining, provide the summary yourself? Be the change you want to see in the world!
I am happy to watch the video and see no issues with people using Lemmy for its intended purposes.
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 2 weeks ago:
Think outside the box.
“If anyone in that jury was served an ad from this provider, we cannot assume they have no preconceived notion of my guilt or innocence.”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Vegetables don’t exist. It’s not a botanical term.
They’re all roots fruits seeds stems or leaves.
- Comment on The time and expense of commuting is theft, if that job can be done from home. 2 weeks ago:
When they started pushing for $15 federal minimum, it should have been $50.
Today, it should be about $150.
At $150/hr, you could afford to buy a an average home with a years pay.
People don’t realize how insanely bad it’s been getting.
I disagree that we should be paid triple to travel. We should just be paid appropriately. That’s all.

- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
How will your ex wife feel about seeing you two be intimate? For some this would be a fucking dagger in the soul. For others, could be hot. For others, indifferent.
Do you and you ex wife sleep in the same room? Will you and your girlfriend?
If the space is adequate, doesn’t involve a big physical relocation for your ex wife, the house is yours alone, the kids are old enough to understand, and you plan on all being respecful, the yeah, it can work.
That’s a bunch of ifs. Not all are in your control. Any are not met and you are the asshole.
If say it’s dicey.
- Comment on Do LLM modelers maintain a list of manual corrections fed by humans? 3 weeks ago:
The how many rs in strawberry breaks it because it doesnt read your question. It tokenized it. So it seems (straw)(berry) and knows contextually that when berry follows straw with no whitespace it means a different set of things that if there were white space.
The tokens have, basically, numeric value. So it doesn’t read your characters. That’s why that’s hard for it.
Ideas that recurse in themselves tend to fail as well. i.e. “say banana 142 times” will not produce the expected result.
As to how they fix them I’m not positive. There’s a bunch of ways to work around issues like these.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 weeks ago:
Step one: where is hour hand? Is it on a number or after? Is it approaching a new number? This is already enough to estimate.
Step two: where is minute hand? Is it on a number, or after? Is it approaching a new number? Dead center?
This is enough to get precise time within about 90s.
If the hour hand is a little past 5, I know the minute hand is between 12 and 4. Oh, it’s between the 2 and 3. Closer to the 2 but definitely past it.
It’s 5:12. Maybe 5:13. Maybe 5:11. Probably 5:12.
- Comment on My body started aging, but no one told me I’d still feel thirty inside 3 weeks ago:
Do more stuff.
You can get a lot of that back, it just takes more work when you’re older.
Go hike once a week. Chop some wood.
- Comment on Why is it so common to be interested in true crime when at the same time you're disturbed by it? 3 weeks ago:
Because you’re disturbed by it.
Sometimes it’s that simple.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 3 weeks ago:
Oops! Fixed.
And yeah I’m not a big NASCAR fan (can you tell)? But recognize a feat is a feat.
But it’s not different in that we’re talking about athletes with unfair advantages. Trans athletes have never shown their ‘leg up’ helped the dominate the field. The same cannot be said for Dale. That’s why I tease, do we take that accomplishment (that I got wrong 😳) away with an asterisk?
Of course not. Same goes for a trans athlete.
- Comment on A real question about trans athletes and records 3 weeks ago:
I tend to agree but it’s an interesting angle.
Like, were not about to tell NASCAR fans that Dale Earnheart Jr needs asterisks because, you know, his dad. He had quite the leg up!
- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 3 weeks ago:
Everyone quick spam his email
- Comment on What are some good "frugal" movie viewing setups? (Recommendations) 4 weeks ago:
VR headset and soundproof headphones.
Watch a movie on whatever setup you want. Shit, watch it at red rocks.
- Comment on A secret is something you keep, whilst a surprise is something you give. 4 weeks ago:
Most surprises start off as secrets.
- Comment on There is likely a government agency that can identify people by their cat. 4 weeks ago:
You thought you could fool the FCI?! We know you’re not who you claim to be!! That’s your cat, Pop Tart!
- Comment on Handling malicious coworker advice 4 weeks ago:
Manipulator. And not even a masterful one.
This is easy. Stop being nice to them and stop cutting them slack. Do your work and ignore them. They’ll sink their own ship here.
- Comment on Ant on a dating show "I like long walks on the peach" 5 weeks ago:
Girlfriend: I want longer cocks than your peen.
- Comment on [Inverse Thinking] How do I make sure my place gets messy again after I thoroughly cleaned and organized it? 5 weeks ago:
I switch between jeans and pjs for pants. Whatever I’m not wearing is on the ground near the couch.
Designate an empty corner as a random shit corner. Toss a deflated aero bed and an unused laptop bag over there, more will come. Trust the process.
Keep a blanket on the couch. Never make your bed.
Tissues will eventually make their way to the trash. No need to get up.
Always take home leftovers and never eat them.
- Comment on Two VPNs? 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say setting up a reverse proxy (to your home LAN) is painful. Its just generally Ill advised. Its painful if compromised.
- Comment on Socially inept, introverted employees. How do you survive the workplace? Because I’m in dire need of some serious advice. 5 weeks ago:
Watch the video before going off on accusations.
