Anti-cheat is a necessary evil for competitive online games
Client-side anti-cheat is useless. It’s not a necessary evil, it’s just evil. The minute the cheater/hacker has direct access to the system, you’ve already lost.

For the longest time I refused to watch the Halo show because I heard that Master Chief takes off his helmet. But then I gave it a shot and it’s a really really good show, and they did the adaptation solid justice.
They made changes where it (mostly) made sense and were truthful to everything else.
They set up a back story that explains how we got a John-117 in the games. Someone who is socially reserved, doesn’t talk much, never takes off his helmet, and prefers to work alone. The ending of the second season was a setup for season 3 to start exactly where Halo 1 started.
The music was phenomenal, cinematography was on point, acting was great, story line was compelling.
I’m normally the person who’s a stickler for not changing a story at all, but the Halo universe was originally told through a game that was more about story beats than actual literary writing. So there’s a ton of room for the in-between conversations and events.
I think the show got an undeserved bad rap. If more people gave it a chance they may have actually liked it.
Halo fans got an actually decent show. Whereas Wheel of Time and Tolkien fans got the abominations of a show we got.

A Halo MMO could have been cool.
Speaking of MMOs or open world games, I wish that Stargate MMO game got off the ground. That would have so much potential.

Whenever I screw something up or something goes sideways. Or when I’m migrating from one host to another.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 days ago:
Not really useless, it’s an extra layer of management (a good thing). The Proxmox system can be nearly static while giving you external level management of the OS that manages the containers.
I have a 3 server Proxmox cluster running various VMs doing different things. Some of those VMs are my container systems.
Besides, you can run containers directly on Proxmox itself.

I’ve never worked with buildpack, so that’s interesting
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 days ago:
Sure, ZFS snapshots are dead simple and fast. But you’d need to ensure that each container and its volumes are created in each respective dataset.
And none of this is implying that it’s hard. The top comment was criticizing OP for using VMs instead of containers. Neither one is better than the other for all use cases.
I have a ton of VMs for various use cases, and some of those VMs are container/Docker hosts. Each tool where it works best.

Backups? I have an automatic job running every night.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 days ago:
It’s not the same. You then need to manage volumes separately from images, or if you’re mounting a host folder for the Jellyfin files then you have to manage those separately via the host.
Container images are supposed to be stateless. So then if you’re only banking up the volumes, then you need to somehow track which Jellyfin version it’s tied to, in case you run into any issues.
A VM is literally all of that but in a much more complete package.
- Comment on goodbye plex 2 days ago:
I can backup an entire VM snapshot very quickly and then restore it in a matter of minutes. Everything from the system files, database, Jellyfin version and configs, etc. All easily backed up and restored in an easy to manage bundle.
A container is not as easy to manage in the same way.

Not at all. It’s not “how likely is the next word to be X”. That wouldn’t be context.
I’m guessing you didn’t watch the video.
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 3 weeks ago:
I’m not wrong. There’s mountains of research demonstrating that LLMs encode contextual relationships between words during training.
There’s so much more happening beyond “predicting the next word”. This is one of those unfortunate “dumbing down the science communication” things. It was said once and now it’s just repeated non-stop.
If you really want a better understanding, watch this video:
And before your next response starts with “but Apple…”
Their paper has had many holes poked into it already. Also, it’s not a coincidence their paper released just before their WWDC event which had almost zero AI stuff in it. They flopped so hard on AI that they even have class action lawsuits against them for their false advertising. In fact, it turns out that a lot of their AI demos from last year were completely fabricated and didn’t exist as a product when they announced them. Even some top Apple people only learned of those features during the announcements.
Apple’s paper on LLMs is completely biased in their favour.
- Comment on Half of companies planning to replace customer service with AI are reversing course 3 weeks ago:
it just repeats things which approximate those that have been said before.
That’s not correct and over simplifies how LLMs work. I agree with the spirit of what you’re saying though.

This is corporate AI against open source AI.
Show me where I can download Midjourneys full model to run it locally and then we can agree to call it “open weights”. Unless their base model and training data is also available, it’s not open source.

Not true, my son got nurse maid’s elbow. He was crying almost non-stop for 5 hours between it happening to the doctor walking into the doctor’s room. The instant the doctor manipulated his arm he stopped crying and it was like nothing happened.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yup, that’s called nurse maid’s elbow. It’s incredibly common. It’s almost always caused by a kid trying to yank themselves away. And it happens because at that young the tendons aren’t strong enough to hold that amount of weight/tension.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Instead I do a lot of yelling / stern vocalizations to keep kids away from areas they shouldn’t be.
It’s a natural instinct to convey urgency of danger. It works for adults but it can be damaging to kids.
The truth is that in a life or death situation, you do whatever you need to do to keep kids safe.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
My vote is that you’re lying about being a parent. But if you are a parent, then you’re letting social pressures and some very strange and warped perception of things limit what you do as a parent to protect your kids.
I won’t outright say that it makes you a “bad” parent, but I personally cannot fathom not taking every step I can to protect my child. And no, a leash doesn’t limit their development. It factually promotes it on the very basis that it allows them to be more active in walking around and exploring in situations where it would be unthinkable to let a child walk around (heights, dangerous areas, on a boat, large dense crowds, etc.).
Being stuck in a stroller 99% of the time is awful for kids that want to run around and explore. Some parents don’t have the physical strength or ability to carry a kid all the time.
Twins or even triplets that are very active and wild are a perfect example. You will never contain two very wild toddlers by just “watching them”. And if you try, you are a bad parent.
Ultimately you choose a very dumb him to die on. You are wrong.

children are people
Very good! I’d give you a sticker, but I don’t know where you live.
insulating them from small forms of possible harm doesn’t help their development.
And a leash doesn’t do that. Being a hover parent does.
if you pick a reasonable place for your child to play there’s no need for a fucking leash 99% of the time.
What? Is that how you people think using a leash works? You think a leash is put on the child in the morning and isn’t taken off until the end of the day? Are you for real with that? Forget it, you don’t get a sticker for saying the dumbest thing I’ve heard today. And I’ve already watched a video about a flat earther.
