Time to update the video on hard drives no one wants.

Gonna need something a little more solid that your feelsies.
- Comment on Smart option 5 days ago:
Wasn’t trying to argue any points. Just commenting on the shitiness of the situation.
- Comment on Smart option 6 days ago:
If this is a US restaurant, those prices still don’t include tax.
- Comment on Adblockers stop publishers serving ads to (or even seeing) 1bn web users - Press Gazette 1 week ago:
I run uBlock Origin for the browsers, and Pi-Hole for the network. Plus a wireguard VPN server that my phone connects to when I’m not on the home wifi for ad-blocking on the go.
- Comment on electrostatic spider flight 1 week ago:
The most recent article in the post is about 4 years old. I definitely recall learning this a while ago.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 1 week ago:
A lot of hotels will require a card to put on file at check-in. The paper you get after your stay is typically an invoice, not a bill to be paid. They tell you how much they charged you, it’s up to you to dispute if you disagree with something.

It would still work with “through,” though?

I get the impression you’re the type of person who encounters assholes everywhere they go.

What else would a woman be doing in the C-suite?

- Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 1 week ago:
In the US, we’ll be sure to expand it to all the other purchases we make. Eventually even buying groceries will be a shakedown of your bank account.
- Comment on You Should Run a Certificate Transparency Log 3 weeks ago:
I mean, the very first few lines make it pretty clear he’s not writing for the typical homelab self hoster:
If you are an organization with some spare storage and bandwidth, or an engineer looking to justify an overprovisioned homelab, you should consider running a Certificate Transparency log.

An elision is the absence of a sound or syllable in a word. An idiom is an entire phrase or expression that does not mean what it literally says.
There’s no argument here, you’re just wrong.

That’s not an idiom, it’s just an elided word.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 weeks ago:
Being in the US, I’d order an uber before I call for an ambulance. Even with insurance I’m afraid to test that debt machine.
- Comment on Welcome to petty lane 3 weeks ago:
For a minute, maybe. Foot goes back down when the cop’s out of view in the mirrors.
- Comment on Yellow from the egg! 3 weeks ago:
I was watching an episode of QI once, and one of the panelists was talking about a phrase in Greek that literally translates to, “There is trouble in the Gypsy village,” and is apparently used to indicate something like, “Who gives a shit?” Idioms are a very interesting part of language.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 4 weeks ago:
It didn’t get sorta fixed, the few results that currently show up are just cached results from Cloudflare.
From the latest updates in the Discord, most of the rebuild work is done. The devs now just need to find the time to get it spun up and working for users - I think one of them is currently in the middle of a move if I read correctly, so it’s just a matter of patience right now.
- Comment on RETIRED: Readarr - Sonarr for Ebooks Book Manager and Automation 4 weeks ago:
Because one of the main issues is they also don’t have anyone maintaining the project. There’s no one to make the config change.
- Comment on Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data 4 weeks ago:
Oh, I wasn’t bitching at you or anything.
If you’re actually curious, the funky letters are the upper- and lowercase of the Old/Middle English letter Eth that represents the “th” sound.
Why anyone would use it today? Maybe they think it’s “quirky”?
- Comment on Stung by customer losses, Comcast says all its new plans have unlimited data 4 weeks ago:
To get you to engage with questions like that. Just ignore it.

In 50 years or so it’ll all be underwater anyway, and tourists won’t be a problem at all!

Aren’t most cell tower functions just backhauled to the Internet these days, anyway?

“I’ll pay for yours if it means you can’t reproduce.”
- Comment on the young always think they have all the right answers but THIS eventually happens 2 months ago:
My father was a drunk who liked to beat the shit out of his wife in front of the kids. Now he’s wasting away with Alzheimer’s and I’m waiting for his funeral announcement so I can piss on his grave.
He was a know-nothing failure of a human being when I was a child, and he’s certainly no better today.
- Comment on 7 for me 2 months ago:
Exactly the issue for me. Wearing anything in bed just feels like I’m getting tangled up in fabrics.
- Comment on People have private conversations on speaker phone but if I participate then I'm the crazy one 2 months ago:
There’s some shithead in my area that lugs around one of those large JBL party-size looking Bluetooth speakers and has a habit of sitting at the bus stop across the street from my apartment and blasting his shitty rap music for the whole fucking neighborhood to suffer. Always super awesome to finish a long night shift, crawl into bed, and be woken up to that shit a few hours later.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 2 months ago:
Recurring charges like utility bills are often processed regardless of overdraft protection status - ultimately at the bank’s discretion, and you can be sure they’ll pick the option that gets them the most fees. Overdraft protection only seems to stop you from using your card for a new transaction with insufficient funds.
