Uh oh… Looks like someone chose the $5 option…
- Comment on Discord is laying off 17 percent of employees 9 months ago:
Unity, Google, Discord. All within a day or two of each other.
For every number of employees laid off, a VP level employee must be fired. Those employees didn’t hire themselves. Someone came up with the idea.
If companies don’t do this they’re not attacking the root of the problem.
- Comment on Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 10 months ago:
Another useless key? Use Scroll lock or SysRq for that. Or even better, reuse that stupid “menu” key. They’ll cram one more key to the left of the spacebar and make ctrl, alt, and windows keys smaller. Or change their order.
- Comment on U.S. intelligence officials determined the Chinese spy balloon used a U.S. internet provider to communicate 10 months ago:
The PCC must be feeling all smart about their spy balloon design choices. Just wait until they need to talk to Comcast customer support…
- Comment on Question - ZFS and rsync 10 months ago:
When things lock up, will a kill -9 kill rsync or not? If it doesn’t, and the zpool status lockup is suspicious, it means things are stuck inside a system call. I’ve seen all sorts of horrible things with usb timeouts. Check your syslog.
- Comment on Wait until they get to pineapples... 10 months ago:
And I thought it meant Bible Discussion and Studies Meeting
- Comment on SpaceX blasts FCC as it refuses to reinstate Starlink’s $886 million grant 10 months ago:
Exactly. I truly hate Elon but I admit that Starlink works and is a good option for rural areas. But now, the irony here is that people in these areas are the first ones to point out when the government gives “hand outs” to others, and vote for the party that gives all the power to the big players, who then give the rural population the finger.

Starring: Jeffrey Combs as the Jefferies Tubes.
- Comment on Nothing good 11 months ago:
Freedom paper! 8.5"x11". There’s also legal for when you’re in trouble or spending a ton of money: 8.5"x14".
- Comment on Google "Work"space 11 months ago:
Uh what do you mean by “complex” here? That’s what apps script is for. I have a spreadsheet that processes my gmail inbox using regular expressions. Try that in Excel.
- Comment on THE DAY HATH COME 11 months ago:
I don’t think they’re all equally bad. They all just happen to at least have met the minimum requirements to rot in hell.
- Comment on Nothing Phone builds a blue bubble iMessage bridge while Google and Apple fight over RCS 11 months ago:
And the same enlightened kids who are so aware about discrimination and gender fluidity (which is good) are the ones discriminating against others because they don’t have an iPhone.
- Comment on tailscale vs cloudflare tunnel? which is better a homelab 1 year ago:
I like tailscale and have been testing it for a few months. I’m also using headscale as the control plane.
Unfortunately the android client is somewhat unreliable. It works most of the time but once in a while, connections to your tailnet will fail for a bit and require retries. If you ping a machine in your tailnet during this problem, it will show packet loss and then start working after a few pings. This unfortunately makes it difficult to have a reliable split DNS setup.
I’ve done everything to try and understand what happens without success. It seems like state is lost somewhere and a few packets flowing will fix it. Running a constant ping from Android to my tailnet “fixes” the problem, but is not a great workaround.
Just something to keep in mind before you jump headfirst.
- Comment on What is your favorite cybersecurity tool and why? 1 year ago:
I have to say my faith in signal has been shattered since I got crosstalk on a signal conversation. I still can’t imagine how that’s possible but it was there, clear as day.
- Comment on I have never seen an ad in the past 6 years. I use android phone, windows PC and Android TV. Keen to hear when was the last time you saw an AD ? 1 year ago:
Back when Google started, the idea was to only show discrete text ads on search. Then they started showing image ads and created AdSense which basically shows Google ads on external pages. The real killer was when Google bought doubleclick. Until then Google didn’t do ad tracking but with dclk (which has a tracking cookie) things went downhill fast. Ever wonder why Google ads domains are (or used to be) doubleclick.net? Because changing the domain would make Google lose all those yummy doubleclick tracking cookies.
- Comment on X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked 1 year ago:
Can’t wait to have an AI based ads remover that rewrites the page HTML and removes all ads.
- Comment on The colour of the Sun is white 1 year ago:
Unless you’re a kid in Japan, in which case it’s depicted as red.
- Comment on Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed 1 year ago:
It’s a bit more complicated than that, unfortunately.
What happens when Microsoft adds something to their web building tools that forces all visitors to websites using these tools to use IE? Or when your bank (or even worse, utilities) start requiring Windows and IE?
