• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Delta Force devs say Desktop Linux support is 'not part of our agenda in the future'⁩ ⁨⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Chinese devs are even less interested in supporting Linux than Western ones.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Build your own antisocial writing rig with DOS and a USB key⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people really have so little self-control that they can’t just not use a network connection if it exists?

  Have you ever met any people?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ahoy: 2000.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The video’s soundtrack of covers of 2000s music is masterful 👏

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony Music Among Parties Pushing To Cut Off Internet for Pirating Customers — Supreme Court Asked To Intervene⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re not wrong but culturally and historically, Sony Music is American.

  It’s reviewing very well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online trolls take over Hope Florida virtual board meeting with slurs, hate symbols, and adult images⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Florida in particular.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Top Donald Trump official tells Europe to choose between US or Chinese communications tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He also accused the European Commission of “protectionism” and an “anti-American” attitude. 

  I wonder where this anti-american attitude is coming from? 🤔🤔🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet Neptune, a TikTok alternative where creators can hide likes and follower counts | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  According to the about page, half of the staff of 12 are in the C suite. Are these people for real?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mastodon Exit Interview⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who use that phrase lack any sense of irony or self awareness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Spain public broadcaster calls for 'debate' over Israel's Eurovision participation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They won’t get nil points, they got shiploads of points last year.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Biological attack’ could be behind Europe’s latest foot-and-mouth outbreak⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Orban’s chief of staff is making these claims. A completely reliable source.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t actually care about Wordpress, my point was Joomla is a bad recommendation in this context (a WordPress refugee looking for different blog software). Joomla (and Drupal) is a bad recommendation when there are better and more focused tools available.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Teardown Of A Scam Ultrasonic Cleaner⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone knows that ultrasonic cleaners are great

  Mate, wtf is an ultrasonic cleaner?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wordpress.org homepage uses the word “blog” (along with “publishing platform”), it does not use the term CMS. Joomla.org uses CMS and has zero mentions of “blog”.

  Wordpress.com is even more stark, mentioning the word “blog” 33 times. Joomla.com again, zero mentions of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted blog options.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Joomla is a CMS, I wouldn’t recommend it in this context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Ubisoft spent $2.1M on influencers to secure the launch of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Given the vitriol against Ubisoft (I’m not commenting on how justified it is), obviously they need to do something to counter it. The anti-woke crowd are an incredibly noisy minority.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it rude to reply using English under posts in a language you can’t speak?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t do it, but if I did, I would consider apologetically offering the machine translation inline with my post. Why put the burden on them to do it if you want it to be read?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting SSH Authentication Mechanism⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Orgs commonly need idp, fuck managing ssh key auth for hundreds of engineers.

  This isn’t aimed at individuals or self-hosters, though you can if you find it interesting enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pi-hole and pi-vpn with own domain name⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Stick with it for now, just be aware they need to make money at some point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨pi-hole and pi-vpn with own domain name⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m hesitant to promote vc-funded software, but Tailscale would probably the simplest setup for VPN.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Hosted podcast⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Irish person who swears a lot here (to the point of being reprimanded by US-based HR at work), you’re taking a massive risk saying “cunt” in a professional setting. Getting fired rather than reprimanded seems pretty harsh though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zen browser had a backdoor enabled by default⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck me, tell me someone else has risen to effective project lead since then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Zen browser had a backdoor enabled by default⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t see anything about a backdoor at the link.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anthropic's Claude Code tool had a bug that 'bricked' some systems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can just do a reinstall to fix something then it’s not ‘bricked’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You literally started off by doing that lmao.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This seems like a lot of text for saying “unless you can predict all the specific ways a bad thing could happen, I think putting all your eggs in one basket is fine.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I said I don’t trust them to not fuck up, not that it’s something that should ordinarily be expected. Additionally, especially considering how the rule of law in their jurisdiction is going recently I wouldn’t assume it will always be this way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Your registrar (the place you buy your domains) are where you update your nameservers. If Cloudflare have locked you out then you won’t be able to change them. Other standard registrars will have far less cause, legitimate or not, to lock or disable your account, since they don’t host/proxy your content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Least terrible domain registrars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t buy domains from Cloudflare from a risk mitigation perspective. At work I direct six figures of budget their way annually, but as a free-tier customer in my personal life I don’t trust them not to fuck up at some point and lock my account. If I register my domain elsewhere I can bring myself back online by moving the nameservers. If it’s registered at Cloudflare I’m fucked.
