  If Jimmy shows up in a black Toyota Camry with the right license plate, that’s one thing.

  I’d like to think that if Jimmy is your walking buddy, you might notice these kinds of things, tho :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The window for a convincing UFO video has closed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve only been broadcasting for 120 years, which is ~120 light-years away. Someone within that bubble needs to be technologically advanced enough to have been listening for the past 120 years.

  Also, our average transmissions are pretty weak. If we really want to get noticed, We should have been firing intense lasers at them.

  At least he’s relatively philanthropic, Mush and Bezilbub don’t even try to make other peoples lives better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The window for a convincing UFO video has closed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s assuming they came here first :)

  Also, assuming one of the 60 horrible things happening right now doesn’t prove the Fermi paradox.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I self host a VPN that sneakies through the China firewall?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re looking for traffic patterns. It doesn’t matter what encryption you’re using, If it’s point to point, they’re going to find it and disable it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to send backups on multiple location?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I use sync thing with untrusted keys. That way the data ends up in multiple locations but it’s not accessible remotely. If you don’t care about the data and the locations you don’t have to do that but it’s a nice feature.

  How do they get by having their actual picture?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨1994 white Kevin⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You know… There’s a lot of women that wouldn’t dare to walk alone at night. That white Kevin has been vetted by Uber and has a paper trail.

  How about not just a white Kevin but an Armed Stacey, or a security guard Michelle.

  of course, it’d probably cost MORE to get someone to walk with you because they’d have to not only drive there and walk but walk back.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk Cuts Funding for Internet Archive⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Kind of sounds like a bot. Thing is, I agree with it so I’m torn.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need help getting domain to resolve over LAN⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hard disagree, I’d bifurcate my internal DNS in a hot second before I tried to fix this with static routes. Was internal services aren’t going anywhere in that DNS servers ain’t going anywhere The only time they can figure it should take effect is when it’s needed

  Asking a noob to handle static routes is a double ungood situation.

  Home gamer with a router that can handle reflection would be rare.

  It’s one service that he’s hosting and in control of, and he’s also in control of that internal IP so it doesn’t have to change.

  If anything I’d be worried that those VMs and applications in the VMs are getting regular updates. He’s more likely to get intruded through a zero day on one of those hacks than he is to see any serious issues through throwing a couple DNS records around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨donuts to dollars⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Before COVID, it was nothing to run into Duncan and get three or four dozen donuts for the office. They were less than $9 a dozen.

  They currently want $25 for a dozen at my local Duncan. We used to have donuts at work all the time. Now it’s like once a year.

  I guess they’re making too much money off overpriced coffee to bother with making donuts.

  Sometimes you have to fiddle with that antenna a little bit to make sure the reception is as good as you want it to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OK now you know why there will never be a Second Comming⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It must have been incredibly rough for a white-skinned guy to make it in the Middle East 2000 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Synology could bring “certified drive” requirements to more NAS devices⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They should be careful, they’re just selling small form factor computers with removable drive bays. Standing up and unraid or a true Naz isn’t all that difficult. And then there’s plenty of competition out there ready and willing to eat their lunch.

  I mean, if the fuckwits had to win at least nobody’s going to have any fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meet Neptune, a TikTok alternative where creators can hide likes and follower counts | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possible that it’s just people managing contractors. You used to have to really blaze trails to make stuff like this happen But now, every part of the equation is a solved task. Most of the work is weaving together the APIs of a dozen different storage and hardware as a service companies.

  It’s also possible that a stressed out startup doesn’t take time to update their about page beyond their management when they’re looking to get seed capital.

  In any case, the likely either be sued or bought out before they get any kind of serious momentum. The broligarchs don’t take kindly to competition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Cloud’s so-called uninterruptible power supplies caused a six-hour interruption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Happened at a non Google data center near me years ago. Even though the PDUs were powered by the battery matrix all the time, the sense on the switchover relays from utility to generator were miswired after some critical hardware maintenance was done.

  At the next generator test, when the generator shut down at the end of the test the battery is refused to switch back to utility.

  It was a really big data center, and a really big power feed. There was no easy way to manually fix it because the contactors were so big that it was an arc flash danger. They lost a good portion of a day getting a power engineer on site to confirm the state of everything and get them reconnected.

  The’re kind wild west about Doxing people. They’re all about to be doxed.

  There’s a lot of Alt-Right on there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Monkey Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps it’s in the monkey’s psychology that they’d never hit the keys that much before just destroying it all. They’re a pretty poor pick for a random value generator.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If there wasn’t such a huge amount of money in remediation, you’d likely still have them now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I never get bent about other people using them when they don’t need to. It’s real fucking old sitting at a busy light where I could have gone five times if someone would have had a moment to flick a switch.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy has the ideal number of posts for me. Just enough to have a good time but not too many that I'm scrolling forever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s a lot more of that cropping up. Belligerence, backhanded insults. I can see it being legit on some of the comments but then there are other comments where there are people just going after people to feed their own agenda.

  I found it was happening worse over on Lemmy world, I’ve blocked a few of their major communities, and just started contributing on smaller communities on smaller nodes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Downtime - Apologies and what went wrong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude, keeping this running with a job and a newborn? You’re headed for sainthood.

  If you don’t have one, you could start an out of band chat during updates, just in case you need some eyes on things or just some moral support. I’m sure we have at least a few subject matter experts around if you can stand us :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How and where should I keep backups of system configurations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ansible’s not all that bad. The alternatives are far more complicated.

  Jeff geerling has a bunch of videos on ansible 101.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopify CEO tells teams to consider using AI before growing headcount⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All these CEO’s are getting cold calls from OpenAI, sitting through a 30 minute high pressure sales pitch that tells them they can do 3x the work with 1/3 the staff for a small monthly fee that scales with work done and they’re all slobbering to buy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is unfair!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mother was 100 lbs soaking wet, but MAN could she eat. There was a steamed shrimp buffet on the other side of the city.

  Family rules: We were there for shrimp, if you a little salad that’s ok, but stay away from the bread and the desserts, you can get those anywhere. You’d best eat at least three plates full

  We’d eat and eat and eat and eat, then take a little break, then eat some more. Mom was skinny; dad was normal-sized, and I was a little chubby. OMG did we put away some shrimp.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How and where should I keep backups of system configurations?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ansible if you want to do it the right way.

  Or keep all of your configs in one tree and use syncthing on it If you want to phone it in. Turn on versioning call it a night.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I ran tdarr for a while, eventually I found for most things that it was faster (and better quality) to re-download in better formats than to re-encode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Release the kraken⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Old man Vanderhaus down by the docks, he says he has it on good authority that this has happened already. He says this is how we all got here in the first place.

  At first I thought to myself, I said self, what if the deep ones are in cahoots with the government. With the more I look and the more they do, I thinks to myself that they’s just caught a glimpse of the madness. This was just the opportunity they’s needed ta get an edge on every man, woman, and child. They being the great old-ones of course.

  Some say d’eys an erie glow down in the national harbor. You can only see it from the plains coming in over the Potomac. There’s an old quarry used to be there, She goes down deep. Got swallowed by the river back when the Indians were still running the roost. Some say it’s not a quarry at all and that it leads into the innerds of that world itself.
