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 5 weeks 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 5 weeks 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 1 month 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.

IMO this is one of the best crime thrillers by a long shot… If you ignore the Scrubs-move at the end that is

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 3 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 4 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 5 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).

I thought exactly the same about controlling a millilitre of water. You could straight up behead people on sight and leave basically no trace at all - just a suspiciously clean cut

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

One day Steve said: You know what? Keeping a prisoner a life for a thousand years is fucking expensive. What if we didn’t have to?
And from that conversation our company was born. Little did we know that death sentence is still a thing or that humans don’t even live that long. But boy did we scam some investors.
- Comment on One of the problems of working on the weekends. 8 months ago:
There’s another problem here. You can have much nicer Whiskey, even on the low-end. Singleton 12 years and Roe & Co. come to mind for ~ 20 a bottle. Both not bad at all for the price.

- Comment on gaming 8 months ago:
I think it’s absolutely hilarious that there are people who genuinely think it’s better to ban violent video games than to take away the stuff that enables you to shoot people. If only there were any crime statistics that prove beyond any doubt they’re dead wrong. Sigh.

- Comment on Real! 10 months ago:
It’s really a mix of German and English words with some shifting in pronunciation. Once you know both languages, learning Dutch is quite easy. You will make out a lot of words pretty quickly.
- Comment on Damn freeloaders takin' all the jobs! 11 months ago:
It’s kinda hard to overwhelm the job market tho, at least if the economy is growing. In that case, more workers would likely facilitate growth, since the growing workforce will also have money to spend and create demand. If the market was already very competitive, things would be different, but developed countries are usually hungry for skilled workers. Demographics dictate this will only become more true as time passes
