I basically feel the same way driving an Audi. I used to drive shitbox 90s-era Nissan Sentras but after ~5 years with the Audi it’s close to impossible not to drive like a complete douche in heavy traffic. More generally I think vehicles with turbos just put you on another level.

In any case it’s despicable.
- Comment on Why does my ISP sometimes give one IPv6 and another with a different subnet? 1 week ago:
Are both subnets public?

Did you have a bowl of ice cream to numb the pain though?
- Comment on Latvia bans teaching Russian as second foreign language starting 2026 2 weeks ago:
I think a language’s usefulness is rather subjective and subject to experience: I love learning all sorts of languages that I have no daily exposure to but I wouldn’t say knowing them is “useless.”

OxyContin only ever made me feel dizzy and kind of crappy.
- Comment on reverse proxy over vpn without docker? 3 weeks ago:
If you see a Docker solution that looks nice just look at how it’s built and replicate whatever software is packaged in its
Dockerfile. - Comment on It's the truth! 4 weeks ago:
I was always curious about this! I’m bilingual and I always get mixed up because they’re actually called “purple onions” in Spanish. I always forget which language calls it which, but knowing this is definitely helpful!
- Comment on PLEASE 4 weeks ago:
For whatever reason I actually found this more difficult to read (not driving). Maybe it was the color choice?
- Comment on Router VPN? Express put to rest 5 weeks ago:
My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.
- Comment on Typical monopoly people 5 weeks ago:
The UK accent is actually more “modern” than the US one because the US one is more aligned with the accent imported around the time of colonialism.
- Comment on big tobacco stopped paying 5 weeks ago:
I eat vegan chicken nuggets all the time and honestly they taste almost exactly the same. In fact I’d say any vegan version of highly processed meat (sausage, burgers, etc) tastes very similar.
Just recently Starbucks gave me a real sausage patty instead of Impossible and I didn’t even know whether it was “real” meat at first — I had to take another look at it and see that the shape and thickness were different (and the store admitted it was the wrong product when I returned).
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 5 weeks ago:
They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.
Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accessing Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 5 weeks ago:
Exactly! It just feels so wasteful. I imagine it’s to sell a higher capacity at greater cost for higher profit.
- Comment on What DDNS providers you guys recommend? 5 weeks ago:
I used to just use a script with
cronto update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale. - Comment on had to replace my 10 year old cheap corded headphones 5 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t silicone tips be used for earbuds rather than headphones?
- Comment on Why make 250GB m.2 disks instead of 1TB 5 weeks ago:
I can’t tell if you’re arguing in favor or against smaller capacity drives but personally I’d like to see smaller sizes on the market for devices that don’t need a freaking terabyte of storage. When I was shopping for a small mini PC I use as a router I couldn’t find anything smaller than 256 GB so I settled for booting Alpine Linux into RAM (“diskless”) from a USB drive.

Every time I see these guys’ faces I cringe so hard. It’s frankly embarrassing working in the tech industry when most people think of them at the very mention of it.
- Comment on Is it possible to host a lemmy instance over I2P? 1 month ago:
Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.

What’s with the fucking AI slop everywhere today?
- Comment on Is it possible to host a lemmy instance over I2P? 1 month ago:
Why is this always the go-to answer. I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.
Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.
- Comment on Do you ever feel like your life is "scripted"? Like everything is written by some entity controlling your life? Like you live in a fictional universe? Is this feeling normal/common? 1 month ago:
I’ve felt like I’m in a simulation quite often. It sounds very cliché and I never thought I’d actually feel it (the idea has always fascinated me but c’mon, really?) up until the last few years.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I can’t remember for sure but I think it’s common knowledge that lemmy.world blocks VPNs. Just switch to an instance that doesn’t.

I keep wondering why images aren’t loading and it’s because they’re hosted by Reddit? I blocked them ages ago but why are we using Reddit’s CDN for Lemmy posts’ images?
