I guess the trick is to not look for stuff to host because you’ll end up with all kinds of things you weren’t doing in the first place.

- Comment on Salt Lake City, plans to implement AI-assisted 911 call triaging to handle ~30% of about 450K non-emergency calls per year 1 day ago:
Great. I always wanted a premium 911 subscription. If the lines are full it just disconnects somebody and connects me instead.
19.99/month for an operator with a decent microphone.
79.99/month for 2 operators at the same time.
- Comment on China Is The World's First Electrostate - CleanTechnica 2 days ago:
China still burns more coal every year than every single other country on earth put together.
They also release the most polluted nuclear waste water into the ocean. They had one propaganda campaign where they were condemning the release of Fukushima waste water by Japan, even though there are 10 Chinese nuclear plants that each release around 3 times as much pollution.
- Comment on 'Fortnite' Lobbies Can Now Have Up to 92% Bots - Players Are Furious Over Supposed OG Season 3 Update 3 days ago:
Bots were a big reason why I didn’t continue playing Naraka. A battle royale that has bots is just awful. I’d rather have long queues than a BR lobby with a handful of people.
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 6 days ago:
I’m saying blackhat hackers can make far more money off the exploit by itself. I’ve seen far worse techniques being used to sell services for hundreds of dollars and the people behind those are making thousands. An example is the slow bruteforcing of blocked words on YouTube channel as they might have blocked their name, phone number, or address.
What you’re talking about is playing both sides, and that is just not worth doing for multiple reasons. It’s very obvious when somebody is doing that. People don’t just find the same exploit at the same time in years old software.
- Comment on ChatGPT 'got absolutely wrecked' by Atari 2600 in beginner's chess match — OpenAI's newest model bamboozled by 1970s logic 6 days ago:
In all fairness. Machine learning in chess engines is actually pretty strong.
AlphaZero was developed by the artificial intelligence and research company DeepMind, which was acquired by Google. It is a computer program that reached a virtually unthinkable level of play using only reinforcement learning and self-play in order to train its neural networks. In other words, it was only given the rules of the game and then played against itself many millions of times (44 million games in the first nine hours, according to DeepMind).
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 6 days ago:
Chances that such an old exploit get found at the same time by a whitehat and a blackhat are very small. It would be hard not to be suspicious.
- Comment on A Researcher Figured Out How to Reveal Any Phone Number Linked to a Google Account 6 days ago:
$5,000
This is like 1/10th of what a good blackhat hacker would have gotten out of it.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 1 week ago:
Would speed up crosswalks a lot too. Whenever I cross a crosswalk with my dog I don’t want to risk me misjudging the braking of cars so I tend to really wait until I’m sure they’re stopping.
- Comment on Japan says China will resume Japanese seafood imports it halted over Fukushima water discharge 2 weeks ago:
China has been using the Fukushima water discharge as disinformation and propaganda against Japan. Chinese nuclear plants have been discharging much more.

Because Plex used to be good but new it’s just pure enshitification.

- Comment on A potential ‘anti-spice’ that could dial down the heat of fiery food 3 weeks ago:
So how have you been able to cook for others in the meanwhile?
- Comment on A potential ‘anti-spice’ that could dial down the heat of fiery food 3 weeks ago:
Spicy food that isn’t spicy is exactly what we’ve all been waiting for. It’s all so clear now.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 3 weeks ago:
Depends on where you live. Mine goes trough the septic tank towards the sewer. A lot of houses also just go directly to the sewers.
And no, many microplastics are too lightweight to settle with the solids.
- Comment on Cleaning plastic containers in a dishwasher is a source of microplastic pollution, study finds 3 weeks ago:
It goes with the water that leaves your septic tank.
A septic tank is only meant to separate the water from oils and sludge.

- Comment on Two Israeli embassy staffers shot dead in Washington 3 weeks ago:
Israeli president Isaac Herzog also called the shooting a “despicable antisemitic terror attack.”
No. Elias Rodriquez had intel that these people were hiding a Hamas baby.
- Comment on Common diabetes drug helps chickens lay more eggs 3 weeks ago:
Chickens have already been genetically manipulated (selective breeding) into laying almost 10 times the amount of eggs they normally do. Why do they need to be laying even more? It’s so selfish.
- Comment on fake keepass repo on github 3 weeks ago:
Try to do some research like you would do with closed source tools. See if they have a website and if it links to the GitHub you encountered. Also see if there are subreddits or forums and see what they link to.
In the case of this “Pro” version of KeePass; a simple search would have shown that there is no Pro version.
- Comment on fake keepass repo on github 3 weeks ago:
PSA: The amount of stars on GitHub can be botted and is not a good indicator to know if you are dealing with a legitimate repository. Even the commit history can be faked (although that’s less common).

- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
IMPORTANT: adjust your seat so you can easily push the clutch (left pedal) in – all the way to the floor – without uncomfortable stretching
The person of the driving school who thought me how to drive told me to push in the clutch completely, and put your seat in a way that you would have your knee bent just a tiny bit.
