- Comment on 'Democrat propaganda': Marjorie Taylor Greene plans to team up with Musk to defund NPR 5 weeks ago:
Morons. They think ‘defund’ means ‘get rid of’ because they themselves can’t exist without grift and bailouts.

This is the way.

You forgot to mention the lobotomy.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 5 weeks ago:
Oh well that’s easy then, it’s because you guys speak British, not English!
Kidding aside, I lived in East Anglia for a few years as a kid and I don’t remember the British kids saying it that way either, but that was a really long time ago and my memory ain’t what it used to be! I think. I can’t remember how it used to be actually.

Huh? I have lived in every corner and the middle of the United States and I have never heard anyone pronounce the TH in clothes no matter the accent. It always sounds like close as in to close the door.
Unless you are thinking of cloths, as in a pile of wash cloths.
English kinda sucks sometimes.

Yeah Mississippi will do that to you.

They sound pretty close to me. We can close this issue.

That’s new, it didn’t used to do that back in the days when I used it but that was a couple years ago. Sounds like it’s just getting worse.
- Comment on Where can I buy a mosquito laser system? 5 weeks ago:
No they don’t. Our greatest success to date was predicting a 1m wide asteroid a whole 3 hours before it hit.
That’s actually impressive given the challenge at hand. But nobody is tracking centimeter sized objects outside Earths orbit. And the ones they are tracking in orbit are man made trash and not rocks.

Are you seriously asking if Google is a privacy threat? I mean…. duh. Anyone who cares about privacy divorced themselves from Google services a long time ago.
- Comment on Apple's controversial iPhone accessory may have been discontinued 5 weeks ago:
And that’s why I still listen to music on my Zune HD instead of my iPhone.
- Comment on do you combine stair climbing with running when working out? 5 weeks ago:
I wish more people understood this. You can ruin a 2 hour workout with 5 minutes in the pantry, when it comes to weight loss.
CICO, it’s just physics.
See: college professor that lost weight eating nothing but Twinkies for a month, but he was eating at a calorie deficit every day.

He’s not worth ruining your sobriety over but I completely understand the sentiment.

Of course, but I’m talking about why all these little towns existed in the first place. It’s not like they were all bustling metropolises before everyone left. ;)

Aww c’mon man, Ann Coulter is still single. I’ve got a chance.

I seriously doubt Diaper Don even knows the rules to regular chess.
- Comment on Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations 1 month ago:
My slightly educated guess would be that’s a consequence of America’s race westward in the 1800’s, only stopping long enough to annihilate the indigenous population and set up a rest stop for the next batch.

Eh, I’ve forgotten a lot of the details and it’s drama that I don’t care to relearn about. Easy to find online with some basic searching if you want to read about it.

Man, I haven’t seen a reference to that protocol in a very long time.
When I was studying for my first MCSE back in ancient times, my girlfriend heard me mention ‘netbeui’ and thought it was the funniest damn thing. She used to catch me throwing out all the computer jargon and just yell “NET… BOOEEEEEY” at me.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 month ago:
It’s a VM so technically none I guess, but my hypervisor hosts have a 4 port gigabit card and a 10 gig fiber card, plus another gigabit port on the motherboard.
OPNsense is using 6 interfaces, 2 WAN and 4 LAN, but it’s all virtualized.
- Comment on What are some self hosted services that you think are essential? 1 month ago:
Yeah I hinted at it but didn’t feel like going into it. It’s why I switched though, and happily I found OPNsense to just be better anyway.

The only one I haven’t seen mentioned here that is a requirement for me is OPNsense. I’ve been using it for a couple years, and pfSense before that for a very long time. Never going back to commercial routers and their shitty / buggy / backdoored software. I highly recommend OPNsense over pfSense for the UI improvements alone, but there are other reasons to use/support OPNsense over pfSense.
On my network it handles internet firewall, internal firewall, and all routing across 5 VLANs and between two internet gateways. It does 1-1 NAT for my public IPs, inbound VPN, outbound VPN for my *arr stack, and RDNS blocklists with the data source being a script I wrote that merges from several sources and deduplicates the list. It is my internal certificate authority (I don’t miss you at all, Windows CA), DHCP for the guest wifi, and does pihole-like ad blocking via DNS for my entire network. And it does all that running in a VM with 2GB of RAM, of which it only uses about 60% on my install.
It is an incredibly powerful tool, not terribly difficult to learn, has a pretty damn good UI for FOSS, and in my opinion is a fantastic foundation for a complex home network / homelab. Unlike pfSense, which corrupted itself twice over the years I ran it, it has never let me down. And every update has been painless over the years.

I think Destiny is the only game I ever put over 2,000 hours into, but Factorio might take the crown soon - 1800 and counting.

I’d be fine. If my email provider goes away, my troubles are over, because my email provider is me!

That’s a man who knows his game.
- Comment on Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers 1 month ago:
Laugh away! Especially since I didn’t suggest anything!
