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" 4 days 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 6 days 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.

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 1 week 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? 1 week 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. - Comment on Pornhub, YouPorn, and Redtube and other content sharing platforms will block New users in the UK starting next week(February 2) 1 week ago:

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 1 week 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? 1 week 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. - Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 week ago:
I never used WhatsApp, but what made people think they used e2e? I’m way passed blindly believing what any company says they do without proof. I’d expect some kind of key or certificate management in the app, is that present?
- Comment on shut the hell up 2 weeks ago:
I agree, just without the religious dogma… I’m a person, its a tool… I don’t need a tool tanking me and I don’t need to thank a tool. That’s it.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like "analog" stuff is more "tangible"? 2 weeks ago:
Digital (as in data) has the ability to be easily copied, modified, searched, encrypted, transferred. Making a backup is trivial and virtually free, with less of an environmental impact.
Digital data always ends up being held on something physical which can be destroyed with the same processes as analog data can - except the digital storage medium can be more resilient to some external factors while being vulnerable to some extra ones which analog is not. In other words: a little bit of fire will not destroy a hard drive, but will burn paper easily. An EMP will destroy a hard drive but do nothing to paper. Both can be protected for either case to a certain degree.
Make backups of data you don’t want to lose (digital or analog). Don’t make the mistake of thinking one is more secure than the other. - Comment on Is geolibertarianism left wing or right wing? 3 weeks ago:
Centrist economic policy (no hard one way position on economy), libertarian social policy (little government). Hard to say really… what would you call a system which advocates workers rights while also supporting a free market?

- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 1 month ago:
The post is mocking a language, not the people who speak it. It may be in poor taste, but its not racist.
- Comment on A Jamaican accent just makes me smile 1 month ago:
It’s called a creole language. An even simpler version is a pidgin language (there’s an example posted in one of the comments). Creole is usually a more evolved pidgin. Developed by children of creole speakers.
- Comment on Don't throw away your old PC—it makes a better NAS than anything you can buy 2 months ago:
Why would I throw it away, when I can give it to someone who needs it more, or sell it? Using it as a NAS will use up more power than just buying a mini PC and using that. I calculated the costs and the energy savings would pay for one in two years.
I’d use an old PC as a NAS but turned it on only on demand, when it was needed. Which does hurt its convenience factor a little.
Note: talking about desktops. - Comment on The true story of how I grew my only ever successful plant 2 months ago:

- Comment on Valve Addresses Steam Machine Anti-Cheat Concerns, Says It's Working Towards Support 2 months ago:
- Covered on steam with game bans, which can be handed by server admins
- Would be nice to see ngl. Whats not humanly possible should result in a game ban.
- Covered on steam by VAC, automated system checking for cheat signatures in user memory space
- Hard to do and not realistically feasible for the majority of people, screen capture with per pixel analysis tools would still work but thats not that big of an issue
- VAC and game bans also ban you from community features including trading your inventory, afaik you phone number and all accounts associated with it are banned
- Comment on Pebble Time 2 has screws 2 months ago:
I think it depends on screw design. GShock also have screws and they just don’t get dirty enough that you couldn’t unscrew them.
bring back screws - Comment on Forever young 2 months ago:
Imo, this test is flawed and doesn’t take display refresh rate into account. Well, at least flawed in the sense that you can’t compare it to other people because they may have measured it differently on different hardware. Its not universal.
I’m at work right now and using this shitty screen at 60hz, I got 230ms. I upped the refresh rate as fast as it can go, to 75hz and improved my reaction time to 200ms.
To get accurate results, you’d need to do this test at different stages of your life on the same hardware with the same software version of the test. So take it with some salt. - Comment on dating profile 2 months ago:
