Connecdicut or Connecticud?
- Comment on The UK just took a harder stance on Banksy than genocide 6 days ago:
In its analysis, the organization also considered alternative arguments such as ones that Israel was acting recklessly or that it simply wanted to destroy Hamas and did not care if it needed to destroy Palestinians in the process, demonstrating a callous disregard for their lives rather than genocidal intent.
Intentionally killing an entire race/religion/ethnic group versus not giving a fuck that you are actively killing an entire race/religion/ethnic group while ‘trying to achieve other goals’, is just as bad if not worse.
Intentions aside, it’s the results that matter. Israels actions are directly resulting in the destruction of the Palestinian people, and that is not at all acceptable regardless of their intentions or desires.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned? 1 week ago:
That’s very subjective.
Both platforms have the option for mods to tell you exactly what you did wrong; and on both, sometimes they utilize that option sometimes they don’t.
It’s entirely up to the individual mods in each specific community.
Lemmy does generally tend to be a bit more open; just because it’s a growing platform looking to expand its userbase, so the mods make a bit more of an effort to create peace/understanding vs just ban hammering any problems into oblivion.
Reddits grown big enough that it can throw its weight around a bit carelessly and have less worry of the userbase collapsing.
- Comment on The universe thinks you're gay. 2 weeks ago:
Or just that “haha rainbow gay”?
Just because there happens to be a rainbow in the image? I’m not sure where you’re getting this at all… There’s absolutely 0 reference to LGBTQ content here.
Seems very clearly ‘the universe is laughing at how small your range perception is’ to me.
- Comment on xkcd #3135: Sea Level 2 weeks ago:
No, no, no; We’re just giving Mercury a retro-grade.
I’m thinking maybe a C to C+ at best. I mean it’s kinda ‘retro’, but that’s definitely not the first description that comes to mind.
- Comment on xkcd #3135: Sea Level 2 weeks ago:
You probably should, but that doesn’t mean you do. It’s not like anyone makes you take a quiz to go wander around outside.
Plenty of people get themselves into trouble all the time exploring places/things they know nothing about.
- Comment on xkcd #3135: Sea Level 2 weeks ago:
Imagine being out exploring new islands, not realizing its low tide. You setup camp for the night on an island that’s relatively flat and close to current sea-level. Then while you’re sleeping the tide comes in and washes your whole camp out to sea…

“Umm akshualy, it starts with a ‘4’ so it must be the users fault cloudflare detected csam on the site they were trying to visit”
- Comment on To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet? 3 weeks ago:
That’s not a simple question to answer.
The electrician will have to fish wire through the walls between the new outlet and the panel.
Depending on the construction and the specific path, they may only have to cut a couple small holes and feed wire between them, or they may have to cut several to get past studs and navigate obstacles; but generally they shouldn’t need to open the entire wall/path. There will definitely be some cutting, it just depends on the job how much exactly.
Retrofitting new circuits can be super quick and easy, or it can be a massive headache. It’s varies quite a bit.
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 4 weeks ago:
That’s a neat little tool that seems to work pretty well. Turns out the files I thought I’d need it for already have embedded OCR data, so I didn’t end up needing it. Definitely one I’ll keep in mind for the future though.
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 4 weeks ago:
That works magnificently. I added -l so it spits out a list of files instead of listing each matching line in each file, then set it up with an alias. Now I can ssh in from my phone and search the whole collection for any string with a single command.
Thanks again!
- Comment on Searching through a bulk of pdf files 4 weeks ago:
Interesting; that would be much simpler. I’ll give that a shot in the morning, thanks!

- Comment on Plex server patching required 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, you’re home server is still able to reach plex.tv so there’s no problem there.
It’s people actually hosting there that got screwed over.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 4 weeks ago:
Plex blocked Hetzner IPs, so servers hosted there can’t reach plex.tv to auth users or validate plex pass.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 5 weeks ago:
A smart TV is primarily a surveillance device that also happens to display video.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 1 month ago:
Yeah, thermodynamics are a thing. I’m not trying to claim some free energy system saying you could power the whole data center; but if you could re-capture some of the waste heat and convert it back into electricity, putting that energy to work instead of just venting to atmosphere, it could potentially help offset some of the raw electrical needs. An efficiency improvement, that’s all.
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 1 month ago:
Collect and condense the hot water vapor, concentrate the heat until you’ve got steam; then pump it through a steam turbine recapturing that energy as electricity.
I’m sure there’s some difficulties and nuances I’m not seeing right away, but it would be nice to see some sort of system like this. Most power plants generate heat, then turn that into electricity. Data centers take electricity and turn it back into heat. There’s gotta be a way to combine the two concepts.
- Comment on Could one legally get a hold of those bank bill dye security dye packs, dye your own legally obtained cash with it, and spend it places? Just to make people suspect you're secretly a bank robber. 1 month ago:
Intentionally defacing/altering currency is a federal offence in itself. Though rarely enforced unless particularly egregious or you intend to defraud someone with it (like altering a 10 to be a 100 for example).
Aside from that, any business you attempted to spend it at could and likely would simply refuse to accept it.
At best you’d be left with a bunch of bills that can only really be exchanged for new ones at a bank. At worst you could face roughly $100 in fines+6mo in jail for each bill defaced.
- Comment on Password manager by Amazon 1 month ago:
You’ve always got the human element, bypassing security features; but extra little hurdles like a password manager refusing to autofill an unknown url is at least one more opportunity for the user to recognize that something’s wrong and back away.

- Comment on VERY simple web-based reliable file browser/hosting 2 months ago:
Note; that project is no longer being maintained.
github.com/filebrowser/filebrowser/…/4906
There is a fork working it’s way out of beta though.
- Comment on VERY simple web-based reliable file browser/hosting 2 months ago:
You have to explicitly enable directory indexing; but then it will automatically generate simple http pages listing directory contents.
- Comment on 7-Zip for Windows goes massively parallel with first ‘Threadripper Edition’ — five years after Threadripper debut, Version 25.00 the first to support more than 64 threads 2 months ago:
What in the fuck are you (un)packing that needs 64+ threads???
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
An $11/yr domain pointed at my IP. Port 443 is open to nginx, which proxies to the desired service depending on subdomain. (and explicitly drops any connection that uses my raw ip or an unrecognized name to connect, without responding at all)
ACME.sh automatically refreshes my free ssl certificate every ~2months via DNS-01 verification and letsencrypt.
And finally, I’ve got a dynamic IP, so DDClient keeps my domain pointed at the correct IP when/if it changes.
There’s also pihole on the local network, replacing the WAN IP from external DNS, with the servers local IP, for LAN devices to use. But that’s very much optional, especially if your router performs NAT Hairpinning.
This setup covers all ~24 of the services/web applications I host, though most other services have some additional configuration to make them only accessible from LAN/VPN despite using the same ports and nginx service. I can go into that if there’s interest.
Only Emby/Jellyfin, Ombi, and Filebrowser are made accessible from WAN; so I can easily share those with friends/family.
- Comment on Jellyfin over the internet 2 months ago:
You can use cloudflares DNS and not use their WAF (the proxy bit) just fine. I have been for almost a decade.

JFC when did we end up with that many???
It’s been a while since I paid attention obviously; but I thought there were like 5 AC games, maybe 6-7.
13??? How many ways can you make poking someone with a hidden blade interesting…
