- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 2 days ago:
It follows, but it is also feels like click bait.
A definition of vegan is:
A vegetarian who eats plant products only, especially one who uses no products derived from animals, as fur or leather.
There is an environmental parallel, and it made me read the article to see what they were on about – so I guess it worked.
To be clear, I am very pro environment (I live in it); I just feel like this is crossing the streams of related, but completely different movements, isn’t particularly helpful.

No mayo in the bedroom? Why even bother.
- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 2 days ago:
There is no limit to the potatoes you can grow. The only limit is your imagination.
If you live in a place where cultivating cannabis is prohibited, and your power usage spikes, you may be placed under surveillance.
If you have an HOA or city ordinances about the condition of your yard you might get a slap on the wrist if your potato farm is unsightly. Otherwise, as not a lawyer, grow on.

Abstaining from a thing does not make one a vegan. That’s not how any of this works.

- Comment on The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms] 1 month ago:
Reverse engineering the server is reverse engineering the whole game. It’s going to require skilled engineers and a significant time investment. It may be possible, but not practical.
Also, the client will likely verify it is talking to a legitimate server by checking a certificate, so you may also have to hack the client too.
At some point you’re better off working a job and coming up with the $50 or making your own game with hookers and blackjack.

If you have a server running, I wouldn’t buy more hardware. They have good example documentation for just such a configuration:
If your server already has those ports bound (specifically the DNS port 53) you are going to have to get creative; otherwise it’ll work well!
If not a cheapo pi 3 works, just so long as it is always on.
