- Comment on Do movie actors or actress keep the skills they learned? Like no one would screw with Keanu after seeing all the John Wick films? And if they did would they just be fucked from the start? 2 hours ago:
No.
I’m watching Jean Claude Van Damme’s filmography right now. He’s a trained fighter. He was taught to act, but was never really good at it.
- Comment on What are you doing when you call someone, don't leave a voicemail or text, they call you back right away but you don't answer? 2 days ago:
I don’t answer calls.
- Comment on What are some of your favourite lesser known awesome lists that are useful for selfhosting? 2 days ago:
Is this webrings again?
- Comment on Realized 99% of all my chargers are USB-C. This can only mean one thing. New USB bout to drop! 3 days ago:
Convenience. Decor. It’s much easier to slap a phone on a charger. The chargers also look better than a cable laying around unplugged.
- Comment on With LLMs, censoring internet at the router level has become trivial 5 days ago:
Modern firewalls are very good at sniffing out what a host is doing.
- Comment on What are the privacy risks of exposing IP adresses? 6 days ago:
If you trust your firewall, it’s less of a worry than exposing your license plate.
- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 1 week ago:
The article is also claiming humid areas are good for evaporative cooling, which is incorrect.
Also that above ground runoff is affecting a well is hard to believe. Wells are deep enough that natural filtration removes any sediment.
The whole article is questionable.
- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 1 week ago:
I can’t find evidence that datacenters dump water into the ground.
- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 1 week ago:
I’ve had well water before. It changes over time and needs to be filtered.
- Comment on 'I can't drink the water' - life next to a US data centre 1 week ago:
The company commissioned an independent groundwater study to investigate Morris’s concerns. According to the report, its data center operation did “not adversely affect groundwater conditions in the area”.

I’ve lived with well water. You must filter it and test it regularly because it changes. It can also go dry.

“Car - free” vs “car-free”?
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 1 week ago:
Idk, I feel like if you could do something to prevent a mass polluter from polluting further that would do a lot more than giving up meat for yourself.
- Comment on Microsoft broke Windows Update on Windows 7 (again) 1 week ago:
It’s already been fixed. It appears there’s an authentication mechanism that requires an expiry date. The next expiry date is in 8 years, which the author anticipates will not matter because 7 won’t support modern TLS protocols by then.
- Comment on In languages which use complex written characters (such as Chinese's logographs), is there an equivalent to English's "text speak" shorthand? 1 week ago:
It’s already shorthand, no?
- Comment on Hardware Suggestions For A Beginner? 1 week ago:
Raspberry pi can handle a lot of those tasks fine and others slowly. They are dirt cheap and need very little space. You can add usb storage easily.
I would start there until you know what you’re doing and know what you want.
- Comment on Windows 11 finally overtakes Windows 10 1 week ago:
I thought that osx also saw active user count drop? I think it’s people simply don’t need a laptop/desktop at all.
- Comment on Ethical frameworks are detrimental to Scientific Study because Science is by nature unethical. 1 week ago:
No thanks, this is too shallow of a shower thought.
- Comment on Ethical frameworks are detrimental to Scientific Study because Science is by nature unethical. 1 week ago:
You just lumped all of “science” together. Even the science of documenting birdsong?
- Comment on Ethical frameworks are detrimental to Scientific Study because Science is by nature unethical. 1 week ago:
Wut
- Comment on Questions about DAS 1 week ago:
Re DAS: no you can’t connect multiple systems to it. iSCSI and NFS on a SAN or NAS support multiple connections but the OS or app needs to support it.
You should limit your connections to one machine per volume when using iSCSI or nfs. Smb would probably the best for multiple connections.
- Comment on Why Microsoft's enshittification of Xbox, Surface, and even Windows itself — are all by design 1 week ago:
Under Satya Nadella and Amy Hood, Microsoft has become a glorified investment bank, bereft of delivering innovation
This rings true. No one thinks that MS is doing anything special. They need a unique product and they need to get it into a lot of peoples hands.
If i were MS, I’d switch to ARM or better yet RISC-V and make some extremely efficient devivces that run both Windows and their complete office stack.
They are someone on this trajectory by converting Outlook to a PWA but it’s not fast enough.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 2 weeks ago:
Source?
- Comment on Why do so many homes in rural areas have a front yard full of junk? 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s easier to move it from the driveway to the front yard instead of the back yard.
- Comment on Yep, I actually own 7,255 games on Steam. I’ve played 23% of my library. I regret nothing. 2 weeks ago:
How much have you spent
- Comment on Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change? 2 weeks ago:
Think Covid but with purpose.
- Comment on Is WW3 more likely to accelerate or slow down anthropogenic climate change? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on how many humans die.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Think of it more like a tax refund.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 2 weeks ago:
I think the book The Fourth Turning and its sequel talk about this.
