  I hope he loses lots of money

  I got some extra room in my house too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free, open-source Photoshop alternative finally enters release candidate testing after 20 years — the transition from GIMP 2.x to GIMP 3.0 took two decades⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Nice! Halfway through reading the article a newsletter modal popup appeared and when closed shot me back to the top of the site. Fuck you very much.

  Laser focus on short term profits above everything else will be what destroys this country

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teenager stabs five people at Turkey outdoor cafe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Police believe he may have been influenced by computer games” Now isn’t that easy and convenient. You don’t even have to try and figure out the real and inconvenient reasons behind it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This must consume a tremendous amount of processing to do since they would have to transcode copies for every ad region/campaign and every resolution on demand. I am interested in how they made this financially viable.

  I have been mostly happy with minio but the setup and update process are a bit painful so next time I find myself annoyed with it I might have to give this a shot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you handle family requests that you disagree with?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Whenever people ask me to put up right wing propaganda type shit I just say I can’t find it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The incredible pixel-smashing game Noita got a huge free update⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of my favorite games of all time. It can be a rough game to start out with because the difficulty can seem insurmountable. I would recommend looking at some guides and at least at first use the mod that allows you to edit your wand anywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate the stealth missions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Stealth is strait up broken. It just does not work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Britons have started handing in XL bullies to be put down, MPs told⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems like a ban on imports and required spaying and neutering would be a less cruel solution. Then when you find dogs younger than the ban you could start talking about euthanizing them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have I been DoS'd?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Lemmy has the disadvantage of being opensource. In the long run this can be good for security but in the short term this gives your enemies a blueprint of your software and they know exactly how to attack you.

  The only time I have every been compromised was when I was running 3rd party code open to the internet. I have been running my own code open to the internet for 20+ years and have been safe otherwise. I don’t think I am some kind of god coder or anything but I am mindful of best practices and most importantly I am a small fish in a big pond.

  Long story short is that running popular 3rd party code open to the internet exposes you to unique threats that you should be prepared for. Subnet it, vpn it, lock it down,
