- Comment on Tesla warns that a federal probe into whether it exaggerated the range of its cars may lead to a ‘material adverse impact on our business’ 1 year ago:
I get where they’re coming from.
If there’s a probe that results in no substantial findings, it would likely still impact sales for some period of time, simply because there was a probe. In that case, Tesla’s concern is justified.
If, however, they do find that Tesla is exaggerating their range, then I hope the lawsuit is spectacular and expensive.
My parents have a Tesla (they bought it used), and its range is shite.

Holy based. I always thought it’d be funny to get into a little cyber war with someone, so thanks for the laugh.

- Comment on Former chemical engineer in the coal industry, urging B.C. municipalities to change the term natural gas to "fossil gas" 1 year ago:
I’m with you, but language has a scary amount of influence over how people perceive the world around them.
It’s going to be a sad day when I have to replace my gas oven and stove with electric appliances. There’s something deeply ingrained in humans that draws us to fire.

Using podman-compose, I usually have a section like:
volumes: - ./local_folder:/container/folder
Specifically, I have to use either an absolute path or a relative path with “./” to prevent it from treating a directory as a volume name.
- Comment on Meta now lets you block Instagram from collecting your data - SamMobile 1 year ago:
YouTube does exactly that if you disable your watch history. Or rather, they just disable video recommendations on your home page altogether.
- Comment on Grayjay: A new app that merges different video platforms into one 1 year ago:
Do you have a quote from the license to prove that? Louis Rossman himself said we’re free to grab the code and edit it.
- Comment on We Finally Have Proof That the Internet Is Worse 1 year ago:
It’s soul vs soulless, not clunky vs robust. The modern Internet is arguably much more robust and secure, but the internet of yesteryear was actually pleasant to use, even if it was more prone to random crap going wrong. Each website had a unique look and feel, and things were less predatory. There wasn’t as much of an arms race between companies to control every second of your attention, because they don’t know yet how to harvest data generated by your usage meaningfully.
- Comment on Grayjay: A new app that merges different video platforms into one 1 year ago:
The source is available on their gitlab instance, so whether it not it conforms to some specific definition of open source, the source code is readily available for anyone to view and modify.

My practical answer: Nah, it’s probably not going to nuke your files.
My software engineer answer: Never trust us to not make a mistake. It doesn’t take much to accidentally nuke a directory.

You can easily create a firearm with a short length of steel pipe and a nail. I don’t know how this will do anything. Plus people can just drive to another state.
- Comment on Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible 1 year ago:
So you’re admitting that people were eating tide pods, which makes it not, as you would say, “complete fiction”.
- Comment on Best usage of motherboard 1 year ago:
Agreed, for me containers are really nice for playing with new software without dirtying my host install.
- Comment on Six Months Ago NPR Left Twitter. The Effects Have Been Negligible 1 year ago:
“Complete fiction” is a bit of a stretch, but it was grossly exaggerated how many kids ate the danger candy.
Apparently Tide’s marketing team went through many iterations on the pods, and they intentionally made them look like enticing treats. Probably not the smartest on their part either.
- Comment on Opinions on AdNauseam? 1 year ago:
I think it’s cool in concept, but it’s more of an activism tool than a convenience tool. I’m my experience at least, it didn’t block as much as I’d like.

- Comment on The rent is too damn algorithmic — DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating RealPage, a company that helps landlords set rent prices, for potential antitrust violations 1 year ago:
Maybe I misinterpreted your original comment. Are you suggesting a that the taxes increase by 10% of the going rate (e.g. 5% -> 5.5%?), or the taxes increase by 10% of the property value (e.g. 5% -> 15%)?
If it’s the latter, then that makes more sense. That would be unsustainable for a landlord, because no way in hell can someone pull an extra 50k out of their ass each year on a 500k home.

- Comment on Can we create a new Internet ? 1 year ago:
DDG’s bangs actually uses the site’s own search feature though, rather than narrowing the search engine’s results to a given site.
- Comment on Net neutrality’s court fate depends on whether broadband is “telecommunications” 1 year ago:
I’m not saying I agree with it, but it kind of makes sense in a roundabout way. If you’re resolving domain names and routing traffic to those domains, rather than simply routing traffic, then you’re providing a more complete service.
I’d equate it to a phone company that includes a human operator as part of the service bundle, as opposed to you having to dial the numbers manually.
- Comment on Users dodge A.I. filters to generate pictures of pop-culture characters performing terrorism 1 year ago:
Why not? If you feed the entirety of a given IP (say, every frame in every Star Wars film or show), you could train an AI to produce imagery derived exclusively from copyrighted material.

Yeah, that title triggered an immediate and involuntary eye roll.

You’d be surprised how inept some people can be. Back when I worked in defense, we heard a story about a guy who, while preparing to exfiltrate sensitive data, named the file “data_to_exfiltrate.zip”. What a moron.
- Comment on Which country treats privacy at worst ? 1 year ago:
As I understand it, the social credit score was never actually put into place. It was mentioned once as an idea, and people took that as a commitment to implement it.
- Comment on San Francisco says tiny sleeping 'pods,' which cost $700 a month and became a big hit with tech workers, are not up to code 1 year ago:
It’s expensive because of the concentration of wealth, not the quality of the area. There’s a ton of crime, homelessness, car break ins, etc.
People often leave their car doors unlocked or their windows down to prevent their windows from being broken, but instead they find random people sleeping in their cars.
On the plus side, the weather there is quite nice.

- Comment on Let's encrypt? 1 year ago:
I’m actually almost completely unfamiliar with Nginx, short of a few hours of tinkering. NginxProxyManager is a direct competitor to Caddy, with a graphical interface, SSL cert creation and auto-renew, etc. I’m not going to say to switch from Caddy, since there’s probably no major benefit, but it’s much nicer than trying to figure out Nginx reverse proxies by hand.
- Comment on How do you backup your data? 1 year ago:
I think the problem is that normal consumers wouldn’t ever buy a tape drive, so the only options still being produced are enterprise grade. The tapes are still pretty cheap, but the drives are absurd.
