These signs are not Danish, not officially at least. “Fartkontrol” is a Danish word but the sign is not an official sign and in Denmark we wouldn’t split “fart” and “kontrol” into separate words.

- Comment on I'm a console gamer so, Why the hate on the Epic Games Store? 2 months ago:
Having healthy competition is a good thing and I’ve wished for a competitor to Steam for a long time until one day the monkey’s paw curled and we got Epic Game Store. To sum it up:
- Epic actively tries to introduce exclusivity deals to PC, something that goes very much against the nature of the platform. It is something we’re supposed to be above on PC and let console players deal with. PC gamers simply don’t want fragmentation in the market. We hate all the different shitty launchers publishers are making for the same reason too.
- Epic has a very hostile attitude towards Linux. Their anti cheat for example by default detects the mere fact of using Linux as a hack. For a long time if their anti cheat was included it was an absolute no go on Linux. Their store also works like crap on Linux, if at all.
- EGS lacks necessities for then to call themselves a good store like reviews, good support and refund policies, ease of mod support, wishlists, etc.
- Their UI is just plain bad.
But the main point is the first one. If they bothered making a good store they wouldn’t need to make most of PC gamers angry by introducing exclusivity deals, but they can’t be bothered to do that, so they go for hostile competition instead at the detriment of the customers.

- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 3 months ago:
Yes I do in fact. We need to lower the economical impact of production too, consumption is just a drop in the bucket. To put it in perspective, I can run my PC from a second hand generator. Most low end generators might even be able to run 10s of my PCs. A datacenter training the high end LLMs that I could be running needs a nuclear power plant worth of energy. We are talking multiple magnitudes of difference.
I suppose you don’t consider the coal-powered electricity that powers your EV when reflecting over your impact too?
- Comment on We're on the wrong timeline! 3 months ago:
You can run a fully fletched LLM at home but you can’t generate the model. The latter is a huge contributor to power consumption. Running it is peanuts in comparison.

As a vodka enjoyer, I do love me a good Vodka Martini. But that shaken thing Bond has going on is pure blasphemy.
It’s worth remembering that the taste doesn’t just come from the vodka so the vermouth is equally important.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 4 months ago:
We don’t really learn the reason, we just memorise the word for the number. Kinda like you know the word “dog” means a four legged cute creature, but not why the name is “dog”. The old rules are not something we are teached, I just got curious after a confused foreigner made me think about the system for a second :p
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 4 months ago:
Halvfjerds for 70 but yes. Firs is 80 though, so that doesn’t make in much easier.
Fjerde = fourth, fire = four. That makes “half to the fourth” become “halv til fjerde” or “halvfjerds” while “four times twenty” becomes “firsindstyve” and shortened to new Danish “firs”
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 4 months ago:
We actually still say “halvanden” in Danish too. Everything else is not used (except for halvfems which means 90…)
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 4 months ago:
The reason is that the Danish numbering system is based on a vigesimal (base-20) system instead of the decimal system. Why is a good question but it might have been influenced by French during a time where numbers from 50-100 is less frequently used, making them prone to complexity. The fractions simply occur since you need at least one half of twenty (10) to make the change from e.g 50 to 60 in a 20-based system.
- Comment on Something's wrong with denmark 4 months ago:
Even worse. 90 in old Danish is “halvfemsindstyve” but it is rarely used today. The “sinds” part is derived from “sinde” means multiplied with but it is not in use in Danish anymore. That leaves halvfems, meaning half to the five (which is not used alone anymore) and tyve meaning twenty (as it still does).
We are in current Danish shortening it to halvfems which actually just means “half to the five” in old Danish (2.5) to say 90. 92 is then “tooghalvfems” (two and half to the five, or 2+2.5). The “sindstyve” part (multiplied with 20) fell out of favour.
So we at least have some rules to the madness. Were just not following the at all anymore.

Self hosted doesn’t necessarily mean hosted at home. Some of my stuff is for example hosted in a French datacenter for redundancy. At one point it was my only server space since hosting at home wasn’t feasible at that time.
