- Comment on More people should dance like they are trying to get something off their chest 4 days ago:
It’s funny how this can both be a freeing thought and a criticism of how one dances.
- Comment on Google Fiber will be sold to private equity firm and merge with cable company 6 days ago:
I guess it might make sense from a vertical integration point of view. You could host your ads directly from your customer’s modem or something.
- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 6 days ago:
Your mental addiction definition is a lot broader than mine. I’d hardly say I’m addicted to roller coasters, but I do occasionally think about booking a vacation that includes an amusement park.
- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 1 week ago:
That’s a very strong assertion. How would you, personally, describe addiction?

That toothpick really brings out the extremely precise beard!
- Comment on Name of this private road in Colorado cracks me up 5 weeks ago:
Positive!
- Comment on Package managers keep using git as a database, it never works out 5 weeks ago:
They aren’t using git as a database, they’re using it as revision history. The database is whatever they decide to store in git. For crates.io, for example, they use JSON files in directories.
If you put an sqlite database in git, you are wouldn’t say “git is the database”, and that’s true here too.
That said, yeah, you shouldn’t role your own database. Take your source code from git, and compile it into an sqlite file (for example) for download.

I mean… yeah?
- Comment on Netflix Becomes Max-Level Patron Of Blender's Development Fund 1 month ago:
Is Netflix evil these days?
- Comment on People have near limitless options for what to watch on tv, and still complain 1 month ago:
I’d like to watch Arcane, Wheel of Time, and Lower Decks, to name a few.
- Comment on How do you Sand Coloured PETG without loosing the Colour? Are there any Methods to Preserve or Regain the Colour? 2 months ago:
I think a heat gun would probably work, as suggested elsewhere. A hot surface might transfer its texture to the print?
Oh! I wonder if your printbed could get hot enough to do it?
Otherwise, yeah, 220 -> 400 -> 600 -> 1000 -> 2000 -> 4000 -> 8000 -> 10000 grit might do it.

You’d get laughed off of FurAffinity if you expect to pay after completion.

If you like the art style, I think this is from The New Batman Adventures. Or maybe one of the movies from that era.
Mark Hamill is the best joker.

I’ve polished to a practically mirror shine with progressively finer and finer grit sandpaper. Took an eternity. Worked for the purple I was using, but it might not work for all colours.
I’ve also tried heating PETG with a butane lighter out of pure frustration. It does work, but the line between restoring the surface finish and deforming the print is very thin.

Oh boy, that brings me back… After they blocked net send, well, let’s just say my school board’s internal single sign-on had an SQL injection vulnerability and plaintext passwords…

Sauce can be tasty.

Ew, gross.
- Comment on Mattermost restricted access to old messages after 10000 limit is reached 2 months ago:
Isn’t mattermost GPL’d?
- Comment on What is the problem here? 2 months ago:
I don’t know creality, but have you checked your first layer calibration and bed levelling?
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 3 months ago:
That’s why I specified a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency. They use so much less energy that it is practically negligible in comparison, and more on the order of traditional transactions.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 3 months ago:
Yeah, exactly. A regular user isn’t going to notice an extra few cents on their electricity bill (boiling water costs more), but a data centre certainly will when you scale up.
- Comment on Anubis is awesome and I want to talk aout it 3 months ago:
Scarcity is what powers this type of challenge: you have to prove you spent a certain amount of electricity in exchange for access to the site, and because electricity isn’t free, this imposes a dollar cost on bots.
You could skip the detour through hashes/electricity and do something with a proof-of-stake cryptocurrency, and just pay for access. The site owner actually gets compensated instead of burning dead dinosaurs.
Obviously there are practical roadblocks to this today that a JavaScript proof-of-work challenge doesn’t face, but longer term…

The images that have traversed my wire span the entirety of sensation, from the darkest pits of depravity to the… Wait, no, that’s it.
- Comment on Sir Tim Berners-Lee doesn’t think AI will destroy the web 4 months ago:
I think a large part of that is enshittification and not necessarily because of AI (though AI certainly doesn’t help…)
www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/ is a decent read.

If lovense/wevibe toys are any indication, no, a Bluetooth tracker inside you definitely wouldn’t work.

Ah yes, the “gays are okay if they keep it to the bedroom” attitude.

Hi, I’m cadekat, and I have a bios password and custom keys in my secure boot. Pleasure to meet you :3
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 7 months ago:
Can’t you load your own keys into your BIOS, letting you sign whatever you want anyway?
- Comment on Battlefield 6 cheats day 1 of early access. Depite kernel level anti cheat, forced secure boot TPM 2.0 7 months ago:
Secure boot can be used as part of a chain that eventually ends with unlocking your cryptographic keys only if the software stack has not been modified.
Sure, for most people that’ll make little difference, but it is an actual benefit.
