  I said you can use a bidet. Or have a poopy butt and live in denial if you prefer

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I am a meat crayon⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should consider wet wipes. They are a total game changer, if a bidet is not an option. When you think the worst is gone, use one (1). Then dry with normal paper afterwards. It’s great.

  Don’t flush them before making absolutely, 100% shure they decompose tho! If you can’t easily tear them with your hands, no matter what the packaging says, they will fuck up your plumbing. This can get really expensive, so when in doubt, use a trash can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're in the endgame now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I meam, this is true, but labeling all modern conservatives fans of monarchy is disingenuous. There are also fans of unregulated capitalism, racism, facism und probably many other -isms going around!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top climate scientist declares 2C climate goal 'dead'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To provide a more positive view on the matter: Even if we reach 3C, as long as it is ultimately reversed, all efforts are still worth it. And there is still a chance everything turns out to be less grim than anticipated, if we accelerate our efforts.

  I’m surprised that women told them it was for the military and even more surprised they still accepted. They had to be either desperate or Russian propaganda is also verfy effective outside of Russia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protests delay start of German far-right party's key meet⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ingl, 20% thinking it is anywhere near sane to leave the EU, or even just riscing it with your vote, is insane. On the other hand, politicians from the “center” parties have contributed to this by betraying people over and over and over again. I can understand how people get a “fuck you and everyone else” attitude under these circumstances.

  It gives me some peace of mind however, that ~80% do not support this.

  Ingl, he’s an idiot, but his complete lack of any subtlety, diplomacy and adequate responses never fails to amuse me… As long as I’m not on the receiving end that is

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despair in Sweden as gangs recruit kids as contract killers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like significantly stronger deterrence is needed. Being “just” 15 is hardly an excuse to let someone get away with even plotting murder. You cannot let people grow up with a mindset where that’s ok. The age of legal responsibility should be lower imho, but even if you’re under, you should still be put in state custody for that shit. At least for some time, to ge things sorted and as a warning shot. And again, I’m talking plotting murder, not even having a gun or shooting it.

  Also, hiring kids for murder should be charged as if you yourself carried out or attempted to carry out the murder. You use a stupid kid as a smart tool. Putting a gun in a kids hand and telling them to shoot someone is in no way better, arguably even worse than doing it yourself imo.

  Also maybe finally start to properly regulate social media ffs. It’s literally turning people into violent idiots and threats to society.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine sees influx of Western war tourists⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Although I doubt it, given that we are talking people stupid enough to travel to a warzone for vacation, I hope at least some will help the people there. Don’t just go and watch them suffer, Ukraine is not a zoo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best HDD/SSD for local media hosting⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Second this. What you need for high quality media is space, not speed. For any single stream, network and drive will be fast enough anyway. Your typical HDD offers like 4-6 times the bandwidth that a regular Blu-ray can provide. You can get 8TB HDDs for the price of 2TB SSDs. Random access doesn’t matter for that application.

  You might want to invest in redundancy and use a RAID 1 or RAID 10 array, depends on how valuable that media is to you or how long it would take to recover in case it’s lost. A simple solution would be a btrfs software RAID, in case your are after something like a Linux home media server with Jellyfin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five flavors 🤤⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like their stuff, but I’ll admit that a ton of it sounds the same. On the other hand, people almost always complain when bands go “experimental”, so I consider it a somewhat good thing actually

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germany announces temporary border checks at all land borders⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As much as I would like to hate it, the numbers prove them right. Not only do they catch human trafficers, but they also loads of convicts trying to cross the borders as well as smugglers. Germany lies very central in Europe. Turns out a lot is going through here.

  Hardly helps with the real problems, like proper integration, fighting the causes of emigration or extremists of all kinds operating from and in Germany, but it’s better than nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Telegram's Founder Pavel Durov Became a Culture War Martyr⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ya know, Signal has been audited multiple times. It’s OSS. IT sec elite has looked at it and says it’s sound. If anything is plausible, it would be your device spying on you rather than Signal.

  What’s weird tho is how people think this has anything do with messaging or data privacy. This is about Telegram being used as a public platform. They can’t force Durov to decrypt anything, nor do they need to, because they already know your groups…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s go full guerilla: Plugin that lets you select the first and the last frame of an ad, thus allows to report the beginning and length to a synced database. When that frame is found in the buffer, skip X frames ahead.

  For ergonomics, the plugin should be able to spot cuts in the video so you can easily select the correct frames.

  For resilience, maybe settle for similar frames. Thinking about anti-abuse, maybe require a minimum number of reports relative to the views (and ofc allow to not skip stuff).

  “Anti-Spiegel” is hilarious. “Der Spiegel” (The Mirror) is a reputable German media outlet.
