Oh wow, this is really informative. Thanks for the link friend
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 3 weeks ago:
Amazon, Meta, Uber, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Coinbase, Toyota, Ford, GM, AT&T, Black & Decker, and Charter Communications are also making donations to Trump’s inauguration fund.
I guess I never really paid attention before but is it normal for companies to donate to an inauguration fund? It sure seems like a government sanctioned protection racket.

Wait, why would it become an emergency room curiosity? Ohhhhh, missed that last part. Gourds really are nature’s dildo.

This game is insanely addictive.
- Comment on Lexar doubles up the NM790 series SSDs max capacity to 8TB — new drives spotted at retail for approx $1,000 3 months ago:
8tb on one chip? As Bill Gates once said “Damn, that’s a shit load of ram.”

Got take, English got it wrong. I’ve never heard a frog make a sound like"ribbit". German out Turkish seems like a sensible sounds a frog would make.

The policy is you can only work from home when it benefits the company, not you.

I hate Reddit as much as the next guy but that just sounds like an asshole mod
- Comment on Update: Bitwarden posted to X this evening to reaffirm that it's a "packaging bug" and that "Bitwarden remains committed to the open source licensing model." 3 months ago:
When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.
- Comment on Menopause should be called menostop cause there is no menoresume? 3 months ago:
Pretty sure it was named after the French village Mini-Opuasé where it was discovered in the 1800’s.

I heard he’s a pretty cool guy and doesn’t afraid of anything.
- Comment on No further questions your honour 3 months ago:
Not that uncommon. Have you seen that documentary called The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 3 months ago:
I got a 7k bonus 20 years ago in the military. I seriously considered investing it in the Vangard total stock market index fund. In '04 it was trading at $54 per share, today $282. Had I invested that $7,000 I would have $365,555 today. Instead I “invested” it at the strip club because I was a young dumb E-3 in Pensacola and New Orleans was only a weekend pass away. Long story short, index funds are the way to go.

Well how was I supposed to figure out that my docker node running on libreelec won’t connect to the swarm because the kernel was compiled with out the The Berkeley Packet Filter protocol.

- Comment on My Tool phase 4 months ago:
Damn, I had no idea that Maynard was on the that green jello album. That was also my first CD I ever got. Probably from lSam Goody in the mall to play on my sony discman in like 1993 or something.

Sounds interesting. I know there’s technologies like LorA and BLE that create networks on different frequencies other than what standard wifi uses. But they don’t really have a lot of bandwidth.

The CIA doesn’t assassinate people. They pay the rebels to do it.

My kids are around that age and it’s a real struggle when all of their friends have one.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 months ago:
Same boat dude. That’s how I got YouTube premium. I uploaded like 500 GB of music for Google Music to host it and I could stream my own collection. Now I use Navidrome and my own server.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 5 months ago:
It’s only a matter of time until the premium users get ads. Just like Netflix, and cable TV before that. You will inevitably wind up paying to be advertised to.
- Comment on ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy 5 months ago:
True, but it wasn’t the cloud provider that caught it. They just forwarded the letter to me from the company that monitors torrent swarms I guess.
- Comment on ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy 5 months ago:
Lol, I’ve been on that train for a decade. I just wanted to try using my own personal VPN server to torrent which kinda defeats the purpose of a VPN I guess.
- Comment on ISP to Supreme Court: We shouldn’t have to disconnect users accused of piracy 5 months ago:
So I’ve rented a server for years. It’s in the US and it’s a couple bucks a month. It’s fun to play with and I use it however I want. I’ve had an email server, a next cloud instance, and an open VPN instance to name a few things on it. Well I decided to connect a torrent client from my home to the openvpn instance on my server to see if I could do it. It worked really well until the company I rent from forwarded the DMCA hit back to me for downloading Rick and Morty. I should’ve known better but I thought a nameless faceless server farm wouldn’t be worth the hassle of a DMCA but I was wrong.
- Comment on This happens after 3-4 days of running the server, then I have to restart it manually. 5 months ago:
I’ve never seen this particular error, but CPU stall warnings seem like a fairly common thing. I wouldn’t jump straight to hardware fault, but it’s a possibility.

Not an ad, but Kagi is worth it. I’m ok with paying for search tho.
- Comment on What song would cause you to do this to yourself ? 6 months ago:
Here’s the album art for Electriclarryland. I made the mistake of clicking on wiki article that inspired it. Wouldn’t recommend.
- Comment on OpenAI’s latest model will block the ‘ignore all previous instructions’ loophole 6 months ago:
I’m not sure what is these days but according to Merriam it’s the capability of computer systems or algorithms to imitate intelligent human behavior. So it’s debatable.
