  Make that at least two of us.

  This instance has been nothing but great since day one, from stability and transparency to level head mods and admins.
  They deserve a bit of praise every once in a while.

  Thanks for everything you do!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you still play couch coop nowadays? Which games do you recommend?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes came to recommend the same. Loving it with the missus and sometimes kid.

  Great games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My homelab had the stupidest outage ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Just took over a house last year with smart detectors connected to a homebase, all Li-Ion. Can see the battery percentage in the app. No more December 1st checks for a long time!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My homelab had the stupidest outage ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We use these in our products at work and I’ve never heard about them failing before the equipment is replaced anyways. They are soldered.

  I won’t quote life expectancy (MTBF) but we have many customers with 15-20 year old PLC’s with the original capacitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, but there’s nothing immoral about it either.

  I live in a place where the rich pay their fair dues to the benefit of the less fortunate. That’s where I think you need to focus on getting, not slandering every successful company out of envy.

  Thanks for the chat. You were nothing but respectful. Have a great weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, then «attack» the politicians allowing this to happen.

  Up corporate tax and income tax for the wealthy.

  Don’t attack the companies that play by the rules.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then what is the point?

  Why are they not allowed to create a good service and profit?
  Why are the competition unable to take marketshare with lower fees?

  It feels as if you have this number, >billion, makes a company evil. Why?

  I agree with you that no single person needs a billion, but having earned it doesn’t make them bad. They innovate and move everything forwards. I’d much rather see my money with Valve than with EA, Activision Blizzard or any of the other faceless giants out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are cars with AWD worth it compared to FWD.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in Norway and made it around with FWD/RWD on all my cars, untill recently. Moved to a house at the bottom of a steep hill and got an AWD.

  So while I am saying that you probably don’t need it, I am never going back after having had it for two winters. It’s just so superior once snow turns up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah it costs, depending on quality of course.
  My 14 TB disks are filling up faster than I expected and I am not close to Netflix’s catalogue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you playing directly on your server?

  For the first one at least you could solve it by running JF with a Chromecast or similar device.
  Feels cleaner than a wireless mouse in the living room too, IMO

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are you playing this week? May 20 2024 Edition⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hollow Knight on Switch and Valheim on PC.

  Maybe the GoW expansion if I find time, but I doubt it. Diaper changes sre for some reason more important

  Cheers, I did not know this!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple limits third-party browser engine work to EU devices⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hope Firefox makes one. I miss not having uBlock an d some other addons on my tablet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What should I run and why?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Itk’s a fair response.
  Some uf us aren’t flush with time.

  I’d survive SSH for installing Portainer and then you can run most of it from its GUI. If you use Docker Compose it will be super easy to make changes to your setup as well. Just change the file and redeploy your badboys.

  I’m a recent dad absolutely strapped for time, but I still managed to set up a headless Debian server with close to zero Linux knowledge. There are so many amazing guides out there, especially on GitHub.

  Good luck whatever you go for.

  This was my logic.

  Ooooh shiny new Rizoma parts!!!

  My account ain’t growing at all…!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people are boycotting Asus all of a sudden? Asus outrage explained⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof, my MSI 1080 died after allmost six years of service.
  My first hardware death in 20 years of building my own systems, other than a drive.
  Can’t blame them for it. It truly did its job, so I went with them again for my 3080.

  Brothers: A tale of two sons.

  Only game that ever made me cry alone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have video games become expensive now?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Our currency has taken a bit of a hit since covid, so I guess it’s more like $20 today.
  210 NOK when I checked my local price for Dune 2 just now.

  Add in some snacks and we’re way over $30, so hopefully my point still stands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have video games become expensive now?⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t really think so.

  If you adjust for inflation, historically, it’s very cheap.
  If you compare it to movie tickets, which in essence is 2-3 hours of entertainment for $25, it’s the same story.
  Some games can give you hundreds of hours for close to the same price.

  This excludes games with monthly fees or predatory in-game systems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poignant post on the state of things⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I appreciate your arguments but respectfyully disagree.
  A GPS guided detour should not be necessary for vital social functions to operate.
  I also dislike the small potential for harm to a few individuals when there are better ways to get the point across.

  Block construction.
  Occupy offices and locations.
  March.
  Send letters and run awareness campaigns.
  Vote.

  Do anything you can that makes people see you. Just don’t block the road. To me that is too risky. If everybody would protest like that to achieve their political goals we would live in total anarchy.

  Hope my opinions make sense even though you might disagree.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poignant post on the state of things⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t call people potentially dying an inconvenience.
  They have no moral right to decide wether or not people make it to where they are going.

  So what do they hope to achieve?
  If it is awarenes, then there are much better ways of doing it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poignant post on the state of things⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I support protesting wholeheartedly, but blocking a road is among the most moronic ways to protest I can think of.
  They are blocking emergency vehicles, people going to work, people doing errands, visiting family, goods being transported etc.
  There is a reason people get pissed off and pull them off of the road themselves. It does absolutely nothing to further their cause.
  It doesn’t even effect the people they protest against.

  Imagine missing your kids show, mothers dying breath or the flight to your long awaited vacation and family visit because someone couldn’t think of a more appropriate way to protest than sitting down and being an absolute butthole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨98 years worth of progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure f they did I’d agree, but this never ever happened so why do you claim it did?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨98 years worth of progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The same as I do know probably.
  I don’t give people credit for being rude just because they avoid foul language.

  Let me rephrase my previous point: you were being a bloody cunt. Maybe you’re a great lad normally, but both your replies to the other guy were cunty.

  Try to be nicer to people. This is probably not the first time in your life a stranger has reacted to your behaviour.
  Do better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨98 years worth of progress.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  There is being pedantic, and then there is being a bloody cunt.

  Guess which camp you belong to…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mine is air to air.
  You were probably quoted ground to air, where they must drill for ground heat?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I reckon that’s your main issue.
  You’d need a model designed for a colder climate.

  Maybe for your next one!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oxford study proves heat pumps triumph over fossil fuels in the cold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Mind me asking what yours cost?

  Just got a Toshiba unit installed in Norway and it was $3500.
  Built in de froster.

  Price might be what makes yours strugle in colder temps.
