The benefit of gold is that it doesn’t corrode
- Comment on Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras? 1 week ago:
Cheers.
Do you recommend tapo cameras? Are they poe?

How do you manage remote viewing without internet?
- 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 just used subtitles
- 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 run a software compressor on my sff PC that I use as a media player. No expensive sound system required.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 2 weeks ago:
Does a high end sound system actually solve the problem? Or does having a high end sound system just mean you no longer give a shit about annoying other people. Like the people who rev their engine so all their neighbours know how much they spend on their car.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 2 weeks ago:
That’s what I do, and I installed an audio compressor to level out the audio volume. Now I don’t have to stress about disturbing the neighbours with TV explosions.
- Comment on Ad blocking is alive and well, despite Chrome's attempts to make it harder 3 weeks ago:
Because some people do click it. Children, old people, tech illiterate people. The exact target market for those wanting to exploit people.
- Comment on GOG "won't be making absolute statements in either direction" about their future approach to AI use 3 weeks ago:
All I know is my gut says “maybe”
- Comment on what is good remote desktop software? 3 weeks ago:
I was using realvnc but I hit the 3 free PCs quickly. I’ve since moved to nomachine and run it “locally” over tailscale.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
I don’t hear anyone talk about the hottest 100 at all these days.
I work most public holidays and was a bit if a ritual to listen to it while we worked. When they moved it I just no longer listened to it. Now I don’t think I know anyone that listens to it.
- Comment on Australia’s red and yellow beach flags can confuse tourists. Is it time to change them? 1 month ago:
Lots of things will confuse tourists because “tourists” is a large collective of people and a fraction of those people don’t seek to understand the world around them. The only thing worth doing is adding a few common international languages on the “swim between the flags” signs (if it’s not already done).
Otherwise, what else can get the message across that isn’t communicated with flags, signage, and a literal team of fully equipped life savers set up in front of a busy section of beach?

RAID5 and RAID6 can lose 1 and 2 drives respectively without data loss.

- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 1 month ago:
The satellite Cassini passed through a less dense section of Saturns rings and was met only by dust particles, despite the rings being populated by objects between 10 meters and the size of mountains.
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 1 month ago:
Yes, Cassini
- Comment on Made in space? Start-up brings factory in orbit one step closer to reality 1 month ago:
It shouldn’t be too hard to engineer orbit decay as a feature to avoid space junk.
Consider that space junk is so sparce it’s not really much if a consideration for launches. It’s like the rings of Saturn: the likelihood of a collision is so remote that they didn’t even consider it when we had a satellite move through it.
- Comment on How long until we can start shorting years to 2 numbers again? 2 months ago:
Just start by dropping it down to 3 numbers and see how you go from there.
- Comment on Oracle made a $300 billion bet on OpenAI. It's paying the price. 2 months ago:
Sounds like they are a liability when you put it that way.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 months ago:
If we lose the meaning of the word NAS then we can effectively talk about it. And enough new people are coming in and being taught that a NAS is the thing that runs Plex that it’s sometimes impossible to have a conductive conversation.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 months ago:
For me it’s not about what else I can run on it. I want my services separated from my storage devices. If I throw everything into one physical machine it takes everything down if something goes wrong. It’s also harder to do upgrades without needing to replace entire machines
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 months ago:
And as usual everyone is saying NAS, but talking about servers with a built in NAS.
I’m not saying you can’t run your services on the same machine as your NAS, I’m just confused why every time there’s a conversation about NASs it’s always about what software it can run.
- Comment on Exclusive: Writer Confirms ‘Star Trek: Khan’ Is Being Treated As Canon, Talks Potential Future Audio Series 3 months ago:
Lucas would always say that the EU was canon. Not because he had supervised them, not because they were written well, but because being canon means the fans will feel they “need” to consume it.
No studio is going to outright say anything is non-canon because it’s a bad marketing technique.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 3 months ago:
The whole point of jellyfin/Plex is to provide a feature rich UI for your video files on your hard drive. This is walking back from that to the point that you may as well just use vlc and map network drives on windows. Heck, just carrying around a SSD full of videos is easier than this.
- Comment on Mathematics disproves Matrix theory, says reality isn’t simulation 3 months ago:
When we dream we often believe it to be reality, despite that in retrospect we can identify clear contradictions with logic in those dreams.
A Matrix-like simulation doesn’t have to be perfect. We are a bunch of dumb-dumbs who will suspend disbelief quite easily and dismiss those who claim to see a different truth as crazy.
- Comment on Manufacturer issues remote kill command to disable smart vacuum after engineer blocks it from collecting data — user revives it with custom hardware and Python scripts to run offline 3 months ago:
Maybe in some cases. My robot stores it’s smart map on the cloud, which means of you cut off the internet it loses a lot of features.
- Comment on New BoM website has rolled out 4 months ago:
You shouldn’t scrape a web page when they have their own free API
- Comment on Who's your favorite female protagonist in a video game? (Add pic of character in response) 4 months ago:
Aya Brea, from Parasite Eve
The perfect mix of unsuspecting hero, chosen one, and bad ass. The sequel also gives her an Ellen Riply in Aliens vibe as well. Shame about 3rd Birthday and the fact we will never get another one. For those who don’t know, the owner of the original IP didn’t want to renew the license for the games, which means the games can no longer use anything from the novel which includes all references to mitochondria and Eve. That’s why 3rd Birthday was seemingly a totally different game; they tried to make a sequel that couldn’t reference any of the main plot points of the previous games or novel.

What’s your process to rip from Spotify? Do you get full quality?
- Comment on Thoughts about responsibility 4 months ago:
Well, it was your negligence to have bald tyres, so it would be your fault of you had an accident because of that.
Again, I’m saying this is not a good analogy.
