- Comment on The Price Is Right: a big ad space where the joy of winning is just a distraction from the true goal - to sell more products. 1 day ago:
I mostly don’t mind because 1) they’re pretty upfront/obvious about it and 2) it’s fun, so there is value beyond being sold to
- Comment on Metal is made from refined rocks, therefore Metal music is refined Rock music 2 days ago:
Do you think any of the stoned motherfuckers in 1971 gave half a shit about this pedantry? Lol
“We don’t make cars from stone like the Flintstones, we make em from metal because it’s tougher” is as far as it goes my man
- Comment on Metal is made from refined rocks, therefore Metal music is refined Rock music 2 days ago:
Garage is adjacent to House. Typically smaller, usually hotter, and often used when you want to go faster.
Jungle is way the fuck out there but it is always an adventure. Full of endangered species and ancient treasures, more organic and mysterious.
Breaks is when you’re broke and at a strip club in Florida.

- Comment on PSN Account Required For Ghost Of Tsushima's Multiplayer Mode On PC, But Not Single-Player Story 2 days ago:
It’s kind of a lame requirement anyway (it’s literally only for data collection) so now that we made a big deal once we should tell them to fuck off entirely with it
Support the platforms you are on, or settle for making less money.

WebDAV, as others have said
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
There’s a lot more telemetry. They’re stuffing ads into it (start menu, explorer panels, etc). They’re creeping generative cloud AI into it. The control panel/setting situation is unbelievably unfinished (for myself, all my audio devices take the name of other audio devices so they’re all working but mislabeled). A recent update broke all VPNs. High system requirements. Locking down features. Removal of customization. Buggy updates. Slow.
- Comment on Take-Two Interactive shuts down the Studios behind Kerbal Space Program and Rollerdrome 1 week ago:
Great, two games I loved (well, I was waiting for KSP2 to get good…)
Rollerdrome was fantastic and KSP1 is legendary. This sucks ass.

I used to write them on a Smith Corona correctable typewriter because we didn’t have a PC at home and then bring them into school to type in in the computer lab after school for computer club
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 1 week ago:
MS not trustworthy
- Comment on Bitwarden has launched a new authenticator app 1 week ago:
TOTP in the Bitwarden Vault is a paid feature. The standalone app is free, and doesn’t even require a Bitwarden account.
This allows free tier users a way to use TOTP without upgrading, and without needing to trust Google Authenticator or something else.
- Comment on China unveils video of its moon base plans, which weirdly includes a NASA space shuttle 1 week ago:
Everything you used to write this comment was at least partially made in China, let’s not pretend after 40 years of the world outsourcing to them that the don’t have the skill, infrastructure, or money to do what America did in the 70s.
Yeah that’s not great for the USA trying to maintain its position on top, but just because it sucks for us doesn’t mean it ain’t true.
We literally sold them our future for short term gains.

Grocy is a neat project for stuff like this. Also available as a HomeAssistant add-on, if that’s your style
- Comment on Framework won’t be just a laptop company anymore 2 weeks ago:
At the time, there weren’t really many good options for replacement devices.
Using the charging port means listening to music and charging at the same time wasn’t possible.
Now we have split-cable dongles for power banks, and we have wireless charging when possible. It’s better but it’s not great; both have downsides, and accessories are more $.
Do they make type C headphones with a powerbank in them? Do I want a lithium battery that large on my head?
There aren’t many upsides for the consumer or the environment. Still seems to me like this isn’t even a lateral move. Internal components have gotten smaller and more efficient since, so that space could be reclaimed. I really don’t need my phone to be that thin, a phono jack next to the charging port would be just fine. The only real downside might be waterproofing but if you can make it work for the type C port…
- Comment on Should I or should I not use a VLAN? I have trouble understanding the benefits for home use 2 weeks ago:
And, circling back to ports, you can make firewall rules that prevent devices from talking across VLANs on certain ports. Your Nintendo Switch doesn’t need SSH access to your KNX server, to re-use your previous example, so you block your console’s VLAN from being able to talk to your server VLAN at all.

Proxmox. Microsoft has Hyper-V and Windows Storage. Oracle has VirtualBox but lol no. There’s also OpenStack that has a whole bunch of stuff to it, and of course you could just orchestrate Debian with Terraform, Ansible, Chef, Puppet, etc.
