Not directly, but when talking to friends, absolutely.
- Comment on Algerian man found alive after 26 years in neighbour’s cellar 1 day ago:
He was only 200 meters from home and it took them twenty six years to find him? I just looked up what a “sheep fold” was and it’s just a simple sheep pen.
This story can’t be real.

I remember the night when I found out about that and saw Jennifer Lawrence was one of the victims 😍

The only problem with that server is there are tons of shit you’d rather not see. It’s sadly not as easy to filter like the reddit porn subs are.

The data just needs to be overwritten to be truly deleted.
- Comment on iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes 2 days ago:
This is dependent on the TRIM schedule. It could be size based (execute a TRIM when 50% of the blocks are used).

Is AWS not an option for reasons other than money?

Someone definitely got fired for that. This is why you don’t put all of your eggs in one basket.

Hahaha nice!
- Comment on Reddit locks down its public data in new content policy, says use now requires a contract 1 week ago:
Unfortunately, we see more and more commercial entities using unauthorized access or misusing authorized access to collect public data in bulk, including Reddit public content, worse, these entities perceive they have no limitation on their usage of that data, and they do so with no regard for user rights or privacy, ignoring reasonable legal, safety, and user removal requests. While we will continue our efforts to block known bad actors, we need to do more to restrict access to Reddit public content at scale to trusted actors who have agreed to abide by our policies. But we also need to continue to ensure that users, mods, researchers, and other good-faith, non-commercial actors have access.”
So, pay to get access, like Google did with their $60 million deal. We’re nothing but money to them.

I can see it.
- Comment on Stack Overflow bans users en masse for rebelling against OpenAI partnership — users banned for deleting answers to prevent them being used to train ChatGPT 1 week ago:
a little-known micro-cap stock called Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (LTEA) said Thursday that it’s now “Long Blockchain Corp.,” and its stock leaped more than 200 percent at the open of trading. Shares closed up 183 percent.
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
This is like my friend who “invested” in Doggy (not Doge) coin “because it was going to explode and become highly valuable” even though it was only worth like .1% of what Doge was worth like two years back… He’s a teacher.
Or my other friend that invested thousands in Etherium like 2 years back, while knowing basically nothing about “The Etherium Network”, or anything crypto related. He just knew that he could potentially make money off of it like he could with stocks. I asked him like a year later if he ever made anything off of it and he didn’t confirm or deny, but said he had reinvested the money into other things (I forget which, it wasn’t crypto related) 🤣

Someone comes up with something good: look what I made, we can use this to better humanity!
Corporations: How can we make money off of this?

- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 2 weeks ago:
Most users don’t have a choice between thick or thin, especially if you’ve bought into the Apple ecosystem. Either you take their increasingly thin phones (remember the one that was so thin that it would start to deform from being in the front pocket of Skinny Jeans?) or you’re “left behind”.
The Android world isn’t much better. Same thing goes for “tall vs short” phones. Try and find a top-tier phone that’s 5" or smaller.

I have bad insomnia so going to sleep before midnight in order to wake up at 6:30 am, in order to be at school by 7:20 was not fun at all.

IDK about the ice water, I’ve only been there a few times and it was never to get ice water lol
- Comment on what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been swapping between Arch with OpenZFS and FreeNAS/TrueNAS for probably 5-7 years now. In fact, I’m doing that right now! I think SCALE is finally stable enough to my liking…but we’ll see.
ZFS becomes a pain to manage via the CLI when you have more than a few disks, a nice web GUI takes the pain away.
- Comment on What's a good budget home server? 2 weeks ago:
I’m assuming you’ve never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 🤣
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty sure a lot of people agree with me, I remember seeing a poll a while ago where people said that they would rather have a thicker phone with more battery life than a thinner one.
- Comment on PSA: Do not approach the wildlife. 2 weeks ago:
Oh, nice! I just moved from NYC to Florida and was introduced to Buc-ees on my ride down haha There aren’t any in the NE, although they did put up a sign recently on the NJ Turnpike that says “You just missed us!” With a uturn arrow and “450 miles”.

That’s what I posted above “only half of second period is actually awake”
- Comment on party poopers 2 weeks ago:
Half of the students in second period probably aren’t even awake yet. I normally wasn’t awake/functional until about 3-4th period. Half the time I would sleep through second period 😂

They have Buc-ees in Wyoming?
- Comment on PSA: Do not approach the wildlife. 2 weeks ago:
My thoughts exactly, we need to let Natural Selection do its job. If you wanna take a selfie with a 1500 pound wild animal, go right ahead. Don’t complain if you get trampled though.
- Comment on Huawei phone has a pop-out camera lens, just like a point-and-shoot camera 2 weeks ago:
I would definitely rather have a thicker phone and have the back be uniform rather than a huge camera bump. It makes holding the phone in landscape so awkward.
