  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The boy ain't right⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It would still work with “through,” though?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just created my own zero trust network!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just created my own zero trust network!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Who pissed in your cornflakes?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gallium⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idiom. Elide. It’s really not that confusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CursorAI "unlimited" plan rug pull: Cursor AI silently changed their "unlimited" Pro plan to severely rate-limited without notice, locking users out after 3-7 requests⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Iran’s internet blackout left people in the dark. How does a country shut down the internet?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “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.
