Oh no, you!
- Comment on Random people started sharing child pornography on my matrix server, what are my options? 1 day ago:
DO NOT call the police. They will confiscate the server as evidence, and lakking any other suspect, you will be their primary lead. Police aren’t about convictions or justice, they want to consider a case solved.
By law, you are not liable. But because of law enforcement incentives, it will absolutely become your problem.
- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 2 days ago:
I’d say techbro is pretty gender neutral, in the same way “dude” and “guys” are.
- Comment on Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment? 3 days ago:
Encrypted, written to LTO, vacuum sealed and buried somewhere temperate.
- Comment on When fighter jets are scrambled to intercept a plane for security reasons, what can they actually do? 4 days ago:
Depends. It’s very situational, but the procedure first calls for monitoring and communications (longbstory short there are ways of communicating between aircraft using maneuvers.)
Beyond that, there will be attempt at guiding the offending aircraft, either to a runway, or to a safer area.
But if it comes to it, the passenger jet can be shot down - A Hijacked passenger liner should be considered a weapon of mass destruction.
- Comment on What are some of the things someone permanently relocating away from the US should be aware of? 4 days ago:
- This depends on your destination, but you may need to unlearn the habit in tipping, as wait staff salaries are reasonable. Where I live it is common to enable the option for various services, but you’re never really expected to. I might tip if something was far beyond expectations with staff going above and beyond what is expected of them, but I usually don’t.
- Extremely simplified/rounded metric: 1 meter = 1 yard or 3 feet
- 1Kg = 2 pounds
- 1 gallon = 4 liters (a standard serving of beer is 0.5 liters. Sometimes 0.33)
- Almost everything carries some sort of tax. This is usually included in the price tag.
- 50mph = 80kmh
- most intersections don’t have a stop sign. Held for anyone entering from your right hand side (unless you’re in the UK or Ireland, where it’s opposite)
- Learn the difference between Europe, EU, EEA and Schengen Area. In most cases you may be safe presuming they’re the same, but there’s a difference that may be relevant if traveling between European countries.
- Comment on What's easier to shoot, a bow or a firearm? 6 days ago:
Plus a gun doesn’t require draw strength
- Comment on i found in my notes that "alt+junja" in w10 on potplayer does "Playback->A-B Repeat->Repeat next marked section". is junja a key or i typoed? 1 week ago:
Obvously. Don’t you guys have a key labeled “Fight!” ?
- Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait? 1 week ago:
Maybe, but not necessarily in a good way. Unfounded, to the point of cocky, maybe.
- Comment on Why does it seem like many Americans have an arrogant personality trait? 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t say arrogant, but I’ve worked with a lot of Americans, and there’s something most of them have in common. I can’t quite put my finger on what, but it’s in the vicinity or arrogance. I simply don’t have the necessary English vocabulary to explain it properly. In short, I’ve found that most of them likes to swing their dick around and pull rank, even if someone else clearly has a better approach.
- Comment on Are the explain the joke subreddits just AI training grounds? 1 week ago:
It is now. It’s literally in the EULA.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Similar metrics here. I finally managed to break 70Kg at 35.

As long as the upload retains memories, they will still feel like the same self.

Pacific Ocean -> Vancouver Ocean
Atlantic Icean -> St. JOHN ocean - Comment on How do we know this is actually Earth, and not just some torture chamber in Hell and we are just being punished? 2 weeks ago:
Ok, soon-ish
- Comment on How do we know this is actually Earth, and not just some torture chamber in Hell and we are just being punished? 2 weeks ago:
I’m definitely at the bottom right, with a dash of absurdism.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 2 weeks ago:
I may be an outlier, but I have 4 PCs that I use regularly:
- Daily driver laptop
- Work-ish laptop
- Storage server
- Utility server
These are the ones I am left with after getting rid of some hardware I didn’t need.
- Comment on What happens when I run two VPNs on my computer? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on your routing table, really.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
Software compatibility for things such as Adobe products and other things that are built specifically for windows.
- Comment on How do I make a phone call to (not from) an elevator speaker, just like what a debt collector once did? 2 weeks ago:
And you shall get no answers, apart from this: we were into a lot of stupid shit, such as figuring our how to open the main junction box for the door bell/intercom. People could still ring to get in, but it was impossible to speak through it and be heard downstairs. Because we had an old leftover discman available and found a DC powersupply inside that we could jury rig. That way we could play Dimmu Borgir on repeat 24/7 for anyone on street level. The “Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia”, if I remember correctly.
- Comment on How do I make a phone call to (not from) an elevator speaker, just like what a debt collector once did? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve already been punished for tomfoolery/idiocy with that elevator. We noticed that the sensor that checked whether the door was properly closed carried 230V. I don’t remember why, but we used that to try and roast potatoes, and ended up blowing a fuse, putting the elevator out of commission. This was two days before moving out. Moving furniture down four floors via the stairs was not fun.
- Comment on How do I make a phone call to (not from) an elevator speaker, just like what a debt collector once did? 2 weeks ago:
Back in 2003 a friend and I noticed that the elevator where we lived had a GSM unit placed on top with the number dymo’ed on it, visible through the glass walls around the elevator shaft. So we started catfishing random on the internet and gave them that number to call around the time of day when people came home from work. Every time they complained that it was the wrong number because there were some random on the other end, we just replied “You’ve been elevated!” and logged off.
- Comment on I find it funny that American republicans seem to want a king, when the definition of republicanism is a government without a king. 2 weeks ago:
This is the same crowd who danced to RATM - Killing in the Name during their blue lives matter phase. Irony is a foreign word to them, and we know how well they like foreigners.
- Comment on Why there is no photos of earth from space? 2 weeks ago:
Same answer as previous time you asked this question: There are. Plenty of them too. And if you believe all of them to be fake, there’s no evidence of a round earth that you’ll be prepared to accept.
- Comment on Why are tornado sirens only for tornadoes and not other severe storm events? 2 weeks ago:
Where I live we do not have tornado sirens, we have air raid sirens (named as such during ww2, and the name stuck). They’re used for various emergencies such as floods, avalanche, etc.
I think the name is just down to the original purpose, and its use case is a lot less limited. It wouldn’t surprise me if our air raid siren sounded identical to your tornado siren.
- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 3 weeks ago:
“In what way is that funny?” Is a simple way of countering the “it’s a joke”-cover for assholery.
- Comment on Is it against the rules of most sites to expose a troll by mentioning an alias they use, even though it's been proven that said troll lies about everything about themselves? 3 weeks ago:
Yup. Some haven’t had their moms allegedly fucked by someone on the internet, and it shows.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Good move. I have my home network and its home lab the same way I run my work networks and server clusters:
- Management network over regular copper ethernet. This is what’s routed over VPN for remote access. IPMI also connects here for when something really stupid happens.
- High speed fiber connecting all the servers. Not routed out - it’s only used for comms between the servers. This serves as a backup in case the management port dies. It has saved me a couple of times: shell in to one of the others the normal way, the from there I can jump into any other server via the fiber connection.
- Comment on Is there a word for items that require both hands to use (e.g. game controller, steering wheel, handlebars)? 3 weeks ago:
Two-handed?
- Comment on people who drink, how long do your hangovers last? 3 weeks ago:
Preferably something salty. Drink loads of water too.
- Comment on Why are there silly license requirements? 3 weeks ago:
Much of license requirements is based on the fact that operating without proper knowledge can cause issues. You mentioned radio, which is a perfect example of this: emergency frequencies is one thing, but there are a lot of other frequencies that should be left alone. And learning which frequency ranges should and shouldn’t be used for certain activities is part of the process of obtaining a license.
Source: I have a GOC (unrestricted maritime radio certificate).
Real life example that I stumbled across as part of my job a few years ago.
- Customer calls in needing help with his VHF radio.
- It worked fine but his DSC calls were often traced to the wrong position.
- Turns out some little dinghy had an incorrectly programmed radio: The owner had bought it, and when faced with question about MMSI, he had just input numbers that vaguely resembled a valid MMSI, and started using it. 4. Oops, this “bogus” MMSI belonged to our customer.
