- Comment on good replacement options power efficiency and affordable "large" storage 2 months ago:
Oh hell yeah. I wouldn’t trust an SDCard to anything important except maybe a Pi where the actual OS is fairly unimportant and the data is stored elsewhere.
I had been wondering about the G series Ryzen. Is this running in a standard tower or something rackable?

- Comment on Migrating from Nextcloud AIO to Owncloud Infinite Scale: Good Idea? 2 months ago:
I used NextCloud in a Docker container but found that unless I was really on top of checking versions for updates, it was very easy to get behind and then unless one way VERY careful about going up in the correct increments, it was quite easy to end up with a version mismatch between the files and DB structure.
As much as I hate SNAP (mainly due to them being overused on Ubuntu desktop and bloaty blobs full of weird permission issues) I’ve got to say that moving to a SNAP version of NextCloud on my server has made my life so much easier. A scheduled job runs a “snap refresh” regularly and it’s been fairly stable for over a year now, except for one small incident where it broke the reference to the internal office suite install and for some reason stated trying to go with a localhost version

Damn, that’s actually pretty sexy for a fresh-air rack How’s the noise levels?

Well “hey baby wanna look at something purple and full of blood” hasn’t worked for me yet

And that’s ridiculous on general because you know who also does regular work hours? Everyone else!
That means if you need a call with your doctor, bank, whatever, it’s likely gonna be during the workday

Degenerate poultry hentai
Excuse me sir/madam, but I’d request that you respect the preferred literary sub-genre of some without resorting to terms such as “degenerate”. Poultry Hentai may not be overly popular and only have a niche following, but it truly is an art form in and of itself. Whether it’s “2 hens, 1 cob” or the better-known “Lady Chick&Lee’s Lover” it truly does represent a formidable contribution to the art.

He’ll amputate your limbs but replace them with fairly functional robot parts?

Trying to figure out where Dr Doom would fit. Supposedly he does have a doctorate but it came from Latveria so could be a bit… biased

There absolutely needs to be a penalty for even trying bullshit like this. Maybe disbarring whatever lawyer thought it was a remotely good idea will send a message
- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 3 months ago:
But the game is running on a computer with the emulator which still strongly lends to it being software
- Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. 3 months ago:
The last instructions I had involved downloading an older version of the Kindle desktop app to grab the books, and I couldn’t find that one except on style rather sketchy looking sites that I didn’t trust running executables from.
This looks like it might be a more effective solution. Thanks!

Does that still work? Last time I tried I had no luck
- Comment on Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo 3 months ago:
Meh. Even small corps often do something well once and then fall to the wayside.Nintendo has been pretty good at recreating their core IP, whether it’s the 3D version of Metroid on GC or open-world Zelda on Switch.
If they’d actually bought out the Palworld IP (assuming that was an available option) that would have meant cash for the devs and a way to work with it in a way that was unique but inclusive to the Pokemon franchise. A lot of people are getting tired of the latter because it has become rather stagnant, but the new mechanics with the official Pokemon characters/stats/etc could have benefitted both
Nintendo doesn’t do that though. They don’t go “wow, this looks cool and there’s real interest. Maybe we could work with the dev and make it an official product. They’ve done most of the work already!” It’s lawsuits all the way

Outdoor temperature in °C, unless you’re talking about an outdoor pool then it’s often enough °F :-)
I think part of the reasons it’s so mixed might just be due to how many Amero-centric devices and parts are common between the two countries.
Y’all can take your shitty Phillips screws though. Roberts is by far superior ;-)

- Comment on CrowdStrike downtime apparently caused by update that replaced a file with 42kb of zeroes 6 months ago:
Security products of this nature need to be tight with the kernel in order to actually be effective (and prevent actual rootkits).
That said, the old mantra of “with great power” comes to mind…
- Comment on Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal 6 months ago:
I remember reading that having a version keyword in your user alias would cause issues with steam, and it was actually because it was a blocked word on CloudFlare where they store/pull a bunch of steam data from

Just want to add an extra FU to Google as a consumer and Android user. Killing off GPlay Music for YT Music was just a nasty nice, especially given that the latter has no mechanism to purchase music and a lot of the content or mixes in from YouTube uploads seems of pretty dubious legitimacy
- Comment on Nintendo DMCA Notice Wipes Out 8,535 Yuzu Repos, Mig Switch Also Targeted. 8 months ago:
IIRC they also had some stuff going around about how Tears of the Kingdom ran better on the emulator than the actual Switch.
Pretty sure that was the point at which Nintendo decided to unleash the dogs on them

Or just … use it like a port where other nations can rent landing space? Maybe even share resources like the ISS does and charge others rent
- Comment on Steam will stop issuing refunds if you play two hours of a game before launch day 9 months ago:
Yeah, and hopefully in general for cases where an update significantly changes functionality, like DRM requiring always-on our breaking stuff like Steam Deck compatibility for those users

And honestly, I’ve been using Excel for work stuff a lot lately (no OO or I’d use that) and it fucks up a lot and in maddening ways. Click a cell at the bottom of your multi-page sheet “Oh, you must have been trying to click A5 so I’m going to scroll way the fuck up here”
Copy-paste from other (even MS) apps also sometimes does weird shit

Yeah that seems weird. I have some wood PLA and it very much looks (and sounds) like wood especially once you smooth it out and paint/stain it. Pretty much seems like a printable version of wood-filler

Oh, they’ll try, but that just means trolling needs to get more creative, like certain Amazon reviews
