  Not all data is equal. I backup things i absolutely can not lose and yolo everything else. My love for this hobby does not extend to buying racks of hard drives.

  Any time I see her, I immediately think of that time she threw her massive dong on the table.

  Dude, you’re not gonna believe this but hear me out. You are high right now. This isn’t real. Lemmy isn’t real. You’ve been high for what may feel like a year now. Its not been a year. You’re in your room on your bed. Its 10PM. Its July 2025.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I figured as such when I noticed, on multiple occasions, prices for random products would just suddenly change, multiple times a week for different people I knew. And also how seemingly multiple different pages for the same product were available with a word switched here and there… friends got product page 1, I got product page 2. Same product different price. Amazon always seemed shady to me and was kinda surprised it was always the go to online store for people.
  I could never trust a price on amazon, even though they were always almost always cheaper than local alternatives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The meaning of life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that bad. You’re generally not aware of what you’re doing for the first 10 years. Then study for the next 10. Then, if you work to live and not live to work, you might get something out of life. Anything post work, I kinda see as a bonus, not a goal. Predisposed medical conditions may mean you aren’t seeing those years anyway. Actually… it may be that bad lol.
  Just don’t take it that seriously. Live till you die.

  Its possible he did. People had different sensibilities 500 years ago.

  Yeah, he designed these things for Sforza because designing war machines pays money.

  These are real units.
  One is 6 minutes, 5 seconds and the other is 5 minutes, 2 seconds.

  I actually figured he must have had a more experienced horse along with the zebras to sort of lead the carriage. I know its done with dog sleighs, but not sure about horses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nice horsie! 🐎⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s some accounts throughout history, but humans generally leave them alone. They’re aggressive creatures surrounded by even more aggressive killing machines. So it stands to reason that an animal in that environment would be pretty tough to tame. Image

  “globalists” tells me everything I need to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Welp straight to the bin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup. When it expires, its done for. When it’s past the best by date, it just means it’s best days are over. Much like my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Caching. I’m guessing they download the internet to large storage arrays and then run neural network learning on them. Its probable they download all videos too and transcribe them later. So its not so much used for hosting content, but for teaching models.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Games you fell out of love with.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ive lost the kind of romanticism i had for gaming as a kid, so I dont really fall in love with games anymore. Im also generally self aware enough to stop playing before I start hating a game. I may get sick of a genre, leave it be and return in 5 years.

  Reading the title of this post though, the first game that came to mind was gta. Last time I played gta V was on the 360 when I 100% the campaign and I didn’t really feel the same way as I did for IV. You might say I fell out of love with gta, as a franchise. This after having playednand loved all of them in the 15 years before V launched.

  Modern society is telling me I need to take melatonin.
  I tell modern society I make my own melatonin, and sleep perfectly fine because my lights are warm in the evening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney supports the $900 million lawsuit against Valve, arguing Steam is "the only major store still holding onto payment ties and 30% junk fee"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They probably will when the steam store turns to shit, valve stops supporting Linux and making hardware they want, stops doing family sharing, and pretty much removes everything from the steam client except the store.

  You have to admit, valve has a pretty good reason to be liked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My self hosted badges of honor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It reeks of “manufactured organic content” if that makes sense. This may not have been OPs intention, but it kinda checks those marks:

  • post content, praise it, don’t mention you make and sell it
  • another user finds out you make and sell it, posts store link
  • post disguised as advert, manufactured organic conversation around the product

  It leaves a bad taste in my mouth because I this is what modern advertising is and I prefer to have full transparency. A disclosure in the post would have been nice. Again, I’m not saying this was OP’s intention, it just hits the same points.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My self hosted badges of honor⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I got them from Etsy

  Ugh… just say you made them if is your shop… this is leaving a bad taste in my mouth, even if the product looks nice…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are no valid assumptions for port 80 imo. Unless your software is literally a pure http server, you should assume something else has already bound to port 80.
  Why do I have vague memories of Skype wanting to use port 80 for something and me having issues with that some 15 years ago?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨...is this retro?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I played GTA 5 on the 360. Retro my ass.
  But seriously, I have started considering this console as retro. Going back to 2006 and beyond is when I started looking at N64 as retro and GC/PS2/Xbox as ‘the old’. Now PS4/XBO is ‘the old’ and well… yeah… its been 20 years.

  Monster Rehab was my favorite. It was basically tea with a bunch of other nasty things. Not carbonated, didn’t smell like perfume. I loved it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean yeah, I get that… but why would I believe that? Its trivial to add a label in an app and make it say that. I’m questioning trust here. My question should have rather been: why do people **trust **Meta will do exactly what they say? Its Meta, that immediately sends alarms to my brain saying to stay cautious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No :/ my server will probably die with me. My people are going to complain why homeassistant isn’t working, why automated lights don’t turn on and why nothing has been added to the plex library in forever. Just not sure who they’ll complain to lol.
  At the end of the day, its my hobby and they’ll just have to live with how it was before. The hardware will be there if anyone wants to start up their own thing, but I don’t see it happening.
