- Comment on Did the premise of an entity approaching you only when it's not being viewed originate with Doctor Who's Weeping Angels? 10 minutes ago:
Yeah, I guess in my statement I should have said “unless” instead of “until”, because it’s not time dependent. But it’s still the act of measurement, not the act of a conscious person looking at that measurement, that causes the collapse of the wave function.

“Observation” in quantum mechanics doesn’t mean a person looking at them, it means taking a measurement, which involves interacting with the particles somehow. It’s that interaction that causes the particles to behave differently. In other words, photons behave as a wave (moving according to a wave function) until another particle interacts with them, at which point they behave as a particle (moving in a straight line). See the various different double slit experiments for evidence of this.

I agree that the modern internet is shit, but paying for journalism isn’t what’s making it shit. If we don’t pay for good journalism, we don’t get good journalism.

How are we gonna eat the rich if we don’t trap them?

- Comment on How do you handle family requests that you disagree with? 3 days ago:
You could make a new movie library named “Christian Propaganda”, put them all in there, and only give your mom access. She’ll probably be mad, but it’ll be funny and you’re technically abiding by her request.

Claustrophobia?
- Comment on Innovation or Overreach? UH Research Casts blame on OceanGate's Submersible Design says: Low quality carbon fibre lead to the accident 4 days ago:
No, low quality carbon fiber didn’t lead to the accident. A blatant disregard for safety, testing, and best practices lead to the accident.

That looks like Grand Theft Auto 5. I believe the car in the screenshot is the Dodge Corolla XS.

Webmail has been a Nextcloud feature for years. They improved it. That’s literally what you just asked for. Improving the core components.

Hey hey hey. That’s not fair. You also have to
sudo apt install docker.io docker-compose
- Comment on Nextcloud appreciation post 1 week ago:
If you don’t like bugs, you shouldn’t be using software. Especially not software designed to do more than one thing. And extra especially not software designed to run on more than one system.
But maybe a Casio watch would be fine for you. Mine hasn’t had any bugs.

- Comment on Recommendations for Hardware for Physical Media/Jellyfin Server 1 week ago:
I don’t think that should worry you for what you want to do with it. Ext4 or btrfs will work fine for your use case.

Yes, that’s how it works in many countries.
- Comment on Windows 11 just isn't enticing Windows 10 users to upgrade, and its market share is actually falling 1 week ago:
XP is based on the NT kernel, and ME is based on the 9X kernel. They are extremely different under the hood.

Good. Windows 11 is trash.

I don’t really name my servers anything special (just hperrin-server, smtp1, smtp2, etc), but I like to name my projects after figures in Greek mythology.
