A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.
Went to demo it only tk discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard

I’m confused. Aren’t disabled toilets gender neutral?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I live in the Uk. We used to have a DNS workaround to give us access to the US Netflix. It had everything we wanted. I stopped torrenting and was happy to just stream box sets & movies.
Roll on 10 years I now have a server with Hetzner that is my own personal Netflix of the high seas. Now rather than giving Netflix / Disney / discovery / Amazon etc a piece of my £35 a month I can curate exactly the shows and movies I want.
They brought this on themselves and I have zero regret.
- Comment on If Askjeeves.com was invented today, chances are it would be a GPT Site. 8 months ago:
I remember reading it when I was maybe 14?
The floppy disk bomb stands out as a favourite. Back then I was reading it with zero intention of ever doing any of it, just curiosity. Thank Christ I’m not a Teenager today, would 100% be on a watch list for reading that shit now.

- Comment on Stuck on Let's Encrypt certificate issuance due to firewall issue even after opening necessary ports 8 months ago:
I use letsencrypt a lot, if firewalls are an issue I’ll use dns authentication.
If you are struggling and need a quick fix, the free tier of zero ssl will do a similar thing
I used it to get a cert for my printer
- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
Can’t wait to hear the fan fiction the AI bit generates
- Comment on I wonder how much of youtube content is hardcoded sponsor ads. 10 months ago:
“Just to be up front I was sent this product free of charge for review. No money has exchanged hands and the company doesn’t get to review my video before I upload. “
So, if you write them a bad review are they going to send you one next time?
- Comment on Self-hosted VPN that can be accessed via browser extension 10 months ago:
I use Cloudflare tunnels for this very reason, you can protect access to the page behind a login (I use azure AD).
It basically acts like a reverse proxy allowing me access to those local resources without anything being installed on the client computer.

- Comment on Your Windows 10 PC will soon be 'junk' - users told to resist Microsoft deadline 1 year ago:
I recently learned there are unpatched vulnerabilities in Paint 3D in versions of Windows 10. Christ knows what they’ve neglected to patch on Windows 7.
Have you tried a Linux desktop distribution on that windows 7 box? I can’t imagine you’re gaming on it.

HAHA! That makes way more sense! I need to get some sleep!
- Comment on How well do Swedish fish keep past their best by date? 1 year ago:
I’m expecting an update similar to the sugar free gummy bear reviews on Amazon.
Also, 2014 is almost a decade out of date. If it doesn’t kill OP it’ll definitely make them a super hero
- Comment on I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ? 1 year ago:
I recently wanted to watch a TV show that I could only find on Discovery Plus.
Signed up, started playing and an advert starts playing!?!? When did it become normal to serve ads for a service you’re already paying for.
Anyway I cancelled and pirated the show

- Comment on How can we see the Milky Way if we are inside of it? 1 year ago:
Over 26000 years ago if the mirror was placed at the very edge of the milky way. I wonder how many light years away the mirror would have to be to fit the whole image of the galaxy inside it.
I just can’t even begin to get my head around those numbers, I am a tiny insignificant ant.

- Comment on The Best Thing About Amazon Was Never Going to Last | If shopping on the site feels different now, that’s because it is 1 year ago:
I tend to pick up prime every few months or so when I know we’ll be making a few purchases - birthdays, Christmas etc.
About 2 months ago I did my usual google search for the prime sign up link. Hit the student page by mistake. Whatever, I thought, it’ll realise I’m not a student and bill me correctly when I don’t prove it.
Nope, I’m still on a 6 month trial and still not entirely sure how I pulled it off. But hey, that’s money better in my pocket than Jeffrey’s.
