I don’t see how you can honestly believe that when Trump is ducking out of legitimate debates that Harris has challenged him to.

I doubt they would go on. Maybe Walz since he would likely flip it if Jogan developed a spine and gave a hard interview. Given Joes lack of questioning any of the more gross people he’s had in the podcast. Likely though I doubt it, probably don’t want to give validity to what is largely a safe space for unfounded nonsense and conservative views.

Man I am fucking psyched. I got shadow warrior redux and a whole bunch of Sony classics I missed due to having Xbox. All we need is Urban Assault and NFS 2 SE and I’ll literally become so excited I’ll vibrate out of existence. Is nostalgia induce transcendence really so much to ask?

Considering the mod will ban you for expressing literally the same sentiment as the OP and was posting multiple time daily, I think they are.

Worth pointing out our feds recently dismantled a criminal syndicate centred around an encrypted comms app. Stuff like that is on their radar and has been for a minute for imo, pretty obvious reasons.

Ideally a Bluetooth dongle/maybe a speaker. Looks like an old problem from a quick google. So there we go don’t need VMs!
- Comment on Looking to move on from Unraid, need suggestions. 1 month ago:
I have seen Nix come up quite a bit and have been tempted to try it. I’ve rolled with Arch before so I was considering going back to it but maybe something new be go.
The OS itself I don’t back up outside of mirroring. I run an immutable OS (every reboot is like a fresh install). I can redeploy from git so no need to backup. I have some persistent BTRFS volumes mounted where logs, caches, and state go. Don’t backup, but I swap the volume every boot and keep the last 30 days of volumes or a min of at least 10 for debugging.
Something like this has always interested me. I remember reading about doing similar with Windows. Not so much it being immutable so much as having a decent starting image that you load on any device you want with all your programs ready to go.
Runs Arrs, Jellyfin, Monero node, Tor entry node, wireguard VPN (to get into network from remote), I2C, Mullvad VPN (default), Proton VPN (torrents with port forwarding use this), DNS (forced over VPN using DoT), PiHole in front of that, three of my WiFi vlans route through either Mulvad, I2C, or Tor. I’ll use TailsOS for anything sensitive. WiFi is just to get to I2C or Onion sites where I’m not worried about my device possibly leaking identity.
Do you have a guide or ten you used for all this perchance? Unraid has stuff like trashguides and space invader one. Especially the DNS part onwards? If not it’s cool I have Mullvad set up and Pihole with my current setup so I’ll be able to work it out. This is all very compelling for me to try out (I should really have learned about wireguard by now). Thanks a lot for such an interesting and informative write up!

Arch btw Like I needed even more temptatition. Cheers for confirming my suspicion that rolling a Linux distro is likely the go. I don’t really need a VM, just hassio doesn’t (didn’t?) have pass through without it.

For entry homelab stuff I still think it’s great. Literally just smacked it into an old HP server (now my cannibalised gaming builds) and it was good to go. However I was pretty inexperienced then (hence why I think I may have borked something fundamentally). Now days I’m more comfortable which getting under the hood hence looking for alternative. Definitely would still suggest Unraid to some though.
I was tempted to do something like an Ubuntu server. I figured all my NAS stuff is run through docker anyway. Cheers I’ll check out dockge

- Comment on Would it count in basketball, if a player found themselves directly under the hoop, threw the ball up through the hoop from underneath, and the ball fell back down, again through the hoop? 2 months ago:
No it won’t be counted as it’s considered a ‘violation’. Ref will blow the whistle stating as such and the ball will be handed over to the defending team.

- Comment on Microsoft finally officially confirms it's killing Windows Control Panel sometime soon 2 months ago:
Why not back up your win 7 installation and try a different Linux variant. Or even just fuck around with Linux in dual boot/vm before transitioning? I’d have to imagine that’d be preferable to either not using the internet or risking every device on the same network it’s connected to. I swear I read an article where fresh win10 installs were getting infect within minutes of connecting to the next. Let alone 7.
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 2 months ago:
I thought it might have been how the original post was structured.
my colleagues and I would spam them with applications and phone calls informing them of just how stupid they were being with that requirement.
Now that is a feel good story everyone can enjoy lmao, too right.
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 2 months ago:
You picked up the bitchiness of my post but not the entire subtext. My point is when using the same quote we’re able came to quite different conclusions. One assuming the IT guy did know but merely likened it to “magic” in order to not explain it to a lay person, for whatever reason. Another assuming they don’t know a key concept and are therefore a complete failure.
And yes, I can say someone who works in IT who doesn’t know what DNS is, is a failure.
Like even a trainee? A student? A failure in what way. It just feels like a weird put down. Presumably everyone has to learn it at some point as they begin their IT career. So the idea that they’re a failure until then and that DNS is the bar, is a peculiar world lens in my view.
Sorry if it hurts their feelings but maybe they’re not yet familiar with a concept called qualifications, credentials, experience, expertise, knowledge, skills… you know, silly old fashioned stuff like that.
Feelings aren’t really the point, the unnecessary extremes like labelling people “complete failures” is closer to it. You can give objective and concise criticism, which is more than capable of “hurting feelings” by the way, and not seem to be intentionally abrasive in doing so. Like the second quote you can surely see especially after the ellipsis, it’s condescending right? Unless you believe we live in an age of zero qualifications, credentials or knowledge. If so, you understand that apologising for hurting feelings prior is clearly performative and how that is perceived.
Also, I’m disappointed to inform you but all of that “old fashion” stuff is very much still the case. Hell weren’t there articles on lemmy about older generations agreeing that younger generation face an absolutely ridiculous job market? The “must have 5 years experience in a 2 year old language” memes? I don’t think it’s an age issue, generational maybe. I’m not middle age but I’m definitely not that young either. It unfortunate how often inter-generational shit flinging occurs.
- Comment on Why is DNS often joked about in the I.T. Industry? 2 months ago:
Your quote to me sounds like someone who’s making a joke out a subject they don’t want to have to explain to a lay person.
Interesting you went to branding them complete failures over it though. Right after comparing IT workers to fucking doctors lmao.
Jesus. In my day you had to be an expert and know your shit. I guess nowadays it’s just free for all?
Truth is society as a whole started coasting about a decade after you joined the work force. We figured, fuck it Andy’ll take care of it.
- Comment on Bungie CEO faces backlash after announcing 220 employees, or 17% of its workforce, will be laid off | Pete Parsons has spent $2.4 million on classic cars since Sony acquired Destiny developer Bungie 3 months ago:
You lot
Very interested in who “you lot” refers to when you’ve had a different commenter every reply in this thread.
Do these people who got laid off make the company money or not?
What’s your position here? That labour isn’t exploited and undervalued by the people who profit off it? That if was, no one ever would be sacked? These companies usually go through phases of hiring talent when they predict they need more labour done (ie when they want to increase profit).
Seems like Bungie haphazardly acquired more talent than it needed, presumably under the assumption that the company would grow indefinitely. It didn’t. So what’s the easiest and shittiest way to bring the company ledger out of the red?? You guessed it, sack them. There’s also a bit of an upset at the idea of paying executives million dollar salaries, then sacking hundreds of actually productive employees.
- Comment on First overseas trip with my girlfriend – Any tips to make It our best trip? 3 months ago:
Honestly, expect shit to go wrong. Sounds like you’ve gotten all the important shit done. You’ve got a plan, you’ve been working towards it for a while and seems like your partner is into it as well.
We had a similar trip a few years back, first time overseas for some of us. Lots of planning and preparation went into it. Then our trip planner fucked up one of our bookings in Paris. Meaning we almost missed out on doing some tour that ended on the Eiffel Tower. A couple of times trains were missed/delayed.
The only times the trip strayed away from being the fantastic trip it was is because people let small (and sometime not so small, to be fair) disappointments or missed expectations turn into high stress/anxiety events. You’re going overseas, shit may go wrong; be ready for it and be cool with it (while also making sure you have travel insurance). Also take time away to do shit yourselves that the other may not want to do and always have set meeting times and locations to check in if you do.
- Comment on gotdamn 4 months ago:
You’d have to ask a physicist. I would be surprised if you couldn’t make other liquids “wet”. The solid analogy helps with conceptualising an interface, one material on another. I suppose you could make water wet, by freezing a block and then splashing said block with water but that doesn’t equate to it being wet, if that makes sense.
- Comment on gotdamn 4 months ago:
It threw me at first too. Helps to think of it as wetness being an interaction between a liquid and solid. Water makes things wet, it’s isn’t itself wet.

OBS offers practically the same experience with its replay buffer and only uses single digit percent overhead for CPU. Shadow play is maybe slightly more convenient that’s all I can really say about it as it’s been a while.
- Comment on ANU asks pro-Palestinian encampments to disband as students claim ‘witch-hunt’ taking place 5 months ago:
Yes, that was clearly my issue, that your ad hominem insult weren’t prompt enough. I expect further insults to be real time.
As opposed to your “no”, clearly you entered this discussion in all good faith and very much interested why I have the view that I do.
University of Queensland will involve police and take disciplinary action against pro-Palestine student protesters after their conduct on campus allegedly resulted in assault and property damage.
Peaceful except when they aren’t (which let’s be honest isn’t too frequently in the country fortunately). I don’t need to be yelled at by idiots who I already largely agree with. If they were pro Israel protesters or conservative activist camping out on grounds my opinions would be far worse.
- Comment on ANU asks pro-Palestinian encampments to disband as students claim ‘witch-hunt’ taking place 5 months ago:
Why even bother replying after 24 hours if it’s just going to be another childish attempt to insult/bait an emotional reaction? Your behaviour and the behaviour of “activist” defacing property is entirely reminiscent of why I have this view.
Spare me. No amount of insults will stop me supporting the ideals of the protest or resulting me flipping out in a racial/political tirade. Which I have to assume you’re hoping for to justify your snark since you can’t seem to devise any form of coherent discourse otherwise.

Clever but as in “I don’t pay several thousand per unit and hundred in fees to have random people take over parts of the campus”. Have an area on campus and whatever but clear out over night.

Ok, so your problem is with people likening ANY anime with children to pedos specifically as opposed to anime with actually sexually suggestive content involving children? I ask primarily because you haven’t really elaborated, at all. If the quoted remark made your position clear to me I wouldn’t really need to ask for clarity.
