Why shoot at ome target when you can shoot at 30? (as long as they’re evenly encircling the machine)
- Comment on smoooooth 1 week ago:
The land may become uninhabitable by humans, but something tells me aquatic life will be alright… Maybe no all of it, but there will be adaptation and life will go on.
That’s not to say destroying our ecosystems is ok, just that we’re probably not going to end life entirely.
- Comment on Lemmynsfw is down, possibly forever. The server is still serving images and videos though - if anyone wants to archive do it now! 1 week ago:
I still have hundreds of communities from lemmynsfw in my blocklist from before instance based blocking was implemented. Pretty sure lemmynsfw is 95% responsible for that feature needing to be implemented.
- Comment on Help making sense of IPs and A records 2 weeks ago:
If you have a static IP address, you can just use A records for each subdomain you want to use amd not really worry about it.
If you do not have a static IP address, you may want to use one single A record, usually your base domain (example.com), then CNAME records for each of your subdomains.
A CNAME record is used to point one name at another name, in this case your base domain. This way, when your IP address changes, you only have to change the one A record and all the CNAME records will point at that new IP as well.
Example:
A example.com 1.2.3.4CNAME sub1.example.com example.comCNAME sub2.example.com example.comYou’d then use a tool like ACME.sh to automatically update that single A record when your IP changes.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had a few tv/stereos in the past that had a half mute as well. Press mute the first time and it cuts the volume in half, second press mutes completely, then third press restores full volume.
- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 2 weeks ago:
Nice :)
Some of the managers are very nice amd are happy to bend obviously stupid rules, others have a massive stick jammed deeep up inside their rectum…
The manager that hired me, re-wrote my employment contract and forged my signature on the new one, to put me as part-time instead of full time. Didn’t find out until 3mo later when I asked about my benefits package to the manager that replaced her and got confused looks/responses.
- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 2 weeks ago:
Yeah; the current system is a bit of an overreaction. Some people abuse and tracking it is work; so everyone gets punished and food gets wasted entirely instead. Stupid.
- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 2 weeks ago:
This is very much wrong, and something I’ve always disagreed with.
The reasoning behind it, is ‘conflict of interest’ (I’m just passing on the reason I was told when I worked for 7-11). The employees in the store look at a ‘product forcast’, decide how many cookies to make (heat up some pre-made dough) and package for sale. If they are permitted to keep or donate expiring product: they may intentionally make more than needed, ensuring they get free stuff.
I get that viewpoint; but I think they should punish abuse of the system, not outright prohibit saving perfectly good food, if nearly expiring/expired, for good causes like the needy/homeless.
- Comment on This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE. 2 weeks ago:
Not everyone can afford big guns and heavy armor; nor have the training/licensing required to cary/display them.
3D printed whistles are a cheap and easy aid. Every bit of resistance helps.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID globally for full access next month 2 weeks ago:
Good, maybe the masses will finally abandon that garbage.
I’m so sick of being directed to a fucking Discord server when I’m looking for a projects forums, especially when researching a specific problem.
Add on their forced arbitration terms and I’d rather abandon projects/creators that use discord vs support them. I’m not giving up my legal rights just to ask a common question that I should be able to find with a google search. (but can’t because all the answers are on discord instead of a public forum)
- Comment on Discord is about to require age verification for everyone 2 weeks ago:
Rest in piss Discord. Fucking walled garden bullshit.
- Comment on This whistle fights fascists | How thousands of 3D-printed whistles are derailing ICE. 2 weeks ago:
a whistle won’t stop these goons from harming you.
No it will not, but it will alert everyone around you to ICEs presence so they can have an opportunity to be somewhat prepared.
You’ll at least give your neighbours a chance to put some pants on, hide, barricade, or even arm themselves; before ICE tries to kick in their door.
It also calls others to your aid; quickly forming mob that out numbers ICE, forcing them to focus on crowd control instead of targeted kidnapping.
- Comment on Question: Is there a Self Hosted Discord like app? 2 weeks ago:
Back in my day, (shakes cane), Teamspeak and Ventrillo were the big voice chat platforms/tools. Both have text chat and channels; but their focus is voice chat for gaming.

Well that answers that question. Thanks :)
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 3 weeks ago:
👋
Most of us run systems for friends, family, even a few coworkers; but there are those out there that sell access to their systems to anyone wiling to pay. This is explicitly forbidden by the TOS of Plex/Emby, and I’m pretty sure Jellyfin as well (haven’t checked that one), but it still happens.
There’s even tools like Ombi to automatically manage and retrieve requests for users.

- Comment on Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube and other content sharing platforms will block New users in the UK starting next week(February 2) 4 weeks ago:
Your ISP could snitch on you for tons of ‘illegal’ traffic, but they don’t because that would require deep packed inspection on an absurd amount of traffic and they gain nothing for it. Instead they pass on notices when they receive them from third parties, and take enforcement actions (like cutting off their service to you) only when they’re directed to. They want your momey after all.
Torrenting for example; only gets flagged when copyright holders join torrent trackers, then send letters to ISPs that control the IPs found in those groups. That’s not the ISP hunting you down, they’re just passing on a legal notice they’ve been given and thus are obligated to pass it to you.
From and ISPs perspective; a VPN connection doesn’t look any different than any other TLS connection, ie https. There’s nothing for them to snitch because a) they can’t tell the difference without significant investment to capture and perform deep analysis on traffic at an absurd scale and b) they have no desire to even look and then snitch on customers, that just costs them paying customers.
The ONLY reason this can be enforced at all, is because comercial VPN companies want to advertise and sell their services to customers; so lawmakers can directly view and monitor those services.
Lawmakers have no way of even knowing about, let alone inspecting an individuals private VPN that’s either running from private systems or from a foreign VPS.
All that’s not even touching things like SSH tunneling - in a sense, creating a VPN from an SSH connection; one of the most ubiquitous protocols for controlling server infrastructure around the globe. Even if traffic was inspected to find SSH connections, you CAN’T block this or you disrupt IT infrastructure at such an alarming scale there’d be riots.
- Comment on Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube and other content sharing platforms will block New users in the UK starting next week(February 2) 4 weeks ago:
So rent a VPS abroad and run your own VPN from it. Comercial VPNs have a business to maintain so they’ve got to comply to keep operating and public advertising, but a privately run VPN just for yourself is just another TLS connection in a sea of other traffic.
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 5 weeks ago:
Carrying your documents around seems like a great way to have them stolen from you during your ‘arrest’. You’d be lucky to see them again.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 month ago:
Given the way everything else is successfully disabled; something tells me they either did that and it’s just not working properly for Edge, or that flag got reset by some MS update that nobody asked for and it’s just not been noticed by IT yet.
- Comment on Copilot could soon live inside Windows 11's File Explorer, as Microsoft tests Chat with Copilot in Explorer, not just in a separate app 1 month ago:
Mhm. Shit people don’t want continues to be integrated into required system applications so you cannot remove/avoid it.
Seen it comming since the integration of Edge into Windows and how it’s forcibly re-installed everytime you try to remove it. Hell; even the corporate work PCs I use, which lock you out of every non-corporate supplied application such as wordpad, calculator and even the ability to see (not even modify, just view) the desltop background: failed to disable Edge (their default is Chrome). You can right click files > open with > Edge (none of the other applications listed work in any other circumstances, just edge and chrome).
Windows is dead.

I’ve been deemed expendable by companies and people have shot at me.
That’s not the typical experience… Mind elaborating a little?

They’re also really nice, placed just under your fitted sheet on the bed… Crawl into a pre-warmed bed that keeps you warm without an overly large/heavy blanket

- Comment on What are some unique Games to host server's of? 2 months ago:
Bit old, but pretty much everything Source Engine is self-hostable isn’t it? Most of them even come with a pre-configured SRCDS (SouRCe Dedicated Server) you can download and run right from the steam launcher.
I know I ran a GarrysMod server for quite a while; piling a shit ton of mods on it. Plus any source game you’ve got installed, Garrys Mod can and will use the resources/assets from.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly #150: Watchtower No More 2 months ago:
:/ shit.
I’m pretty sure I saw this a few months ago and moved to the beatkind/watchtower fork, but it’s not been updated in 6mo either. (Devs only been active in private repos; so they’re still around, just not actively working on watchtower)
Guess I’ll find another solution. Hell, I might just put my own script on crontab. Looping through folders running docker compose down/pull/up isn’t too hard really.
- Comment on North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location 2 months ago:
Setting their management interfaces to be accessed via https because the VPN blocks (after snooping on) http only access would be my guess
- Comment on North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location 2 months ago:
No. I’m talking about measuring the time in-between inputs being received over the remote connection. Purely observation from the receiver side of the connection.
Network overhead + dropped and re-sent packets, introducing unusual lag in between commands/keystrokes.
A key being pressed and key being released are two separate events that get transmitted separately and usually happen pretty close together. That gap getting larger, due to the long-distance connection introducing lag, could be what they were looking at.
- Comment on North Korean infiltrator caught working in Amazon IT department thanks to lag — 110ms keystroke input raises red flags over true location 2 months ago:
Perhaps something like time between key pressed and key released being abnormally high? Or erratic mouse movement?
I know whenever a PC I’m using is being remotely controlled, the mouse jerks around instead of moving smoothly around the screen. I’d imagine that gets even worse with ping/more layers of remote connections.
