- Comment on IPv6 for self hosters 5 days ago:
I always thought it’s kind of odd how frivolous we are with IPv6 addresses given the problems that gave us with IPv4. US DoD has like 200 million IPv4 addresses and they probably only use a tiny fraction of that. There’s also a bunch of old companies like HP, IBM, and Apple, that have entire /8s, so that’s 16 million IPs each. I know IPv6 is ridiculously bigger but we’re talking about giving IP addresses to our lightbulbs now at a time we’re also looking to inhabit other planets.
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted this sob story 1 week ago:
I actually know a couple of teachers at private schools and they say the people being hit hardest aren’t the rich twats but the families who scrimp and save just enough to try and give their kids the best opportunities.
- Comment on 53% of Israeli public opposes aid entering Gaza, new poll shows 1 week ago:
I don’t think Israelis are getting a very neutral view of the war from their media.
- Comment on Grieve with me 2 weeks ago:
I tried this and had limited success. Then I just got a wireless charger and it’s fine now.
- Comment on I'm guilty of not reading the f..ing documentation 2 weeks ago:
I find that the docs usually consist of a quick start guide covering some ultra tight scenario that doesn’t apply to most people, and reference material that’s just some total brain dump of every possible command without any kind of context.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Maybe let them know how many people skipped their question?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I’m not against some political stuff but there’s so much circlejerk opinion pieces that get posted. It’s just a bunch of people posting stuff that confirms their own beliefs, which is not better than what happens on the likes of Xitter. It’s just a different kind of echo chamber but people are okay with it because it’s left rather than right.
- Comment on Day 297 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 3 weeks ago:
I didn’t want to say this but I can’t help myself.
It’s addictive, not addicting.
- Comment on Day 289 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 4 weeks ago:
Is everyone posting about Oblivion simply new to it? Seems weird to me that everyone’s so excited about it but it’s probably just because I played it to death the last time it came round.
- Comment on Bethesda's Oblivion remaster passes four million players, breaks series concurrent records 5 weeks ago:
I think the Skyblivion people might want to think about moving to Skorrowind.
- Comment on Japan to oppose Trump pressure to join anti-China trade bloc 5 weeks ago:
Trump burnt decades of hard earned goodwill for absolutely nothing, now he wants to cash in on it.
- Comment on Google is excited about money! 1 month ago:
I think we’re moaning over nothing again here.
- Comment on Trump administration decides to fund CVE cybersecurity tracker after all 1 month ago:
There’s already alternatives, why not just let them take over? Trump complained about the US giving up DNS, now he’s complaining about CVE. He wants to control everything but doesn’t want to pay for it.
- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 1 month ago:
99% chance this’ll become free before too long. Nobody will pay for it.
- Comment on Nintendo confirms $90 price for full Breath of the Wild experience on Switch 2 1 month ago:
I’m not as against this as everyone else. If you want a AAA game without microtransactions, in-game advertising, and all the other byllshit you get nowadays you’re gonna have to expect the company will want to make that money up in other places. Games have been like £50/$60 since I was a kid and we’ve been lucky that the prices haven’t risen with inflation.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 1 month ago:
Imagine if you could go on the Nintendo store and buy a game you couldn’t even run, or had to check a third party website to see if it ran acceptably and let you use all the buttons.
- Comment on PS2 Memory Cards 2 months ago:
I had loads of memory cards back when they were actually current technology, so did my friends. I don’t remember anyone ever reporting issues with them other than losing them or accidentally wiping someone else’s save games. I think they’re pretty reliable.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
SotN is one of my top five games but yeah, it is too easy. Don’t forget that when you finish it you’re only half way through.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 2 months ago:
I don’t think just because people are landlords that makes them bastards though. We’re letting a house out and I think we treat our tenants well. We don’t rip them off, we fix stuff when it’s broken, and since we have a fixed rate mortgage our costs haven’t gone up in several years and so neither has the rent.
- Comment on How do people even function on a 9:00 to 5? 2 months ago:
I just leave my jacket on the chair and pick up my stuff like I’m going to a meeting. Then I fuck off and do whatever I’ve got to do.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 2 months ago:
I don’t want a small phone, I just want a normal phone that I can use in one of my normal sized hands. I have an iPhone 13 Mini right now and it’s pretty ideal but I know they’ll go end of life one day and there’s nothing to replace it right now.
- Comment on Italy to require VPN and DNS providers to block pirated content 3 months ago:
Won’t happen. Enforcing this would cost way too much.
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 3 months ago:
I just hit 230 on my phone.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 3 months ago:
A couple of months ago my manager pulled me aside and very nicely told me off for not taking me annual leave. She said she wanted to see it all used before it reset.
- Comment on Sounds like a problem for them, not me. 3 months ago:
Is this a normal thing in the US? I live in the UK and I don’t think I’ve ever had a vacation request denied in my whole life, even when I submit them with less than two weeks notice.
- Comment on Britain Orders Apple to Build a Backdoor Into Your iPhone 3 months ago:
Won’t happen. Waste of time and taxpayer money.
- Comment on EA will shut down the Origin app on April 2025 — company asks users to migrate to the new EA app 4 months ago:
It’s not clear, am I going to lose games if I don’t do this?
- Comment on Funded in 5 minutes - the open source modular mini computer 'Pilet' is on Kickstarter 4 months ago:
They don’t look like this.
- Comment on Hardware upgrade recommendations 4 months ago:
How’d you get Haswell working? I run vainfo and it complains that it can’t recognise the chip but I’ve followed everything on the Debian wiki. When I google the error all I get is people complaining about it being the result of a bug and the responses are usually from developers promising to look into it.
