  I like describing behaviours as effective or ineffective. “Bad” is tying judgment to it.

  Being direct is generally more effective than passive/aggressive, if one’s intent is to build on a relationship, but passive/aggressive may fit the bill if you no longer give a shit and want to simply get your digs in before leaving (say a shitty boss).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite having heard the phrase 'passive aggressive' several times, I still don't know what it means.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the first example works better by leaving off the “when are you leaving” question.

  But it’s still fits the definition.

  You got this from your hippie great-grandma’s diary when she wrote it 50 years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s challenging.

  Lol, human energy pollutes the most.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You should probably look into the environmental costs of trains and bused before spouting such nonsense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Hahahaha, all you got is “road rage”?

  Go ride a bus in NY, LA, Chicago, Philly (I have).

  Fuck that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep.

  OP knows fuck all. Diesel has storage issues, so u less you’re using it continuously it’s not a good choice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Talk about not being the brightest.

  Your hubris is astounding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you lived anywhere else

  Oh, the irony. YOU need to look in a mirror and ask yourself the same question.

  You’ve just decreed that everyone else is doing it wrong, yet you have no idea what it’s like anywhere else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Rent a car by the hour? Where do you live?

  Oh, that explains it all - you really have no idea how the rest of the world works, and think that how your tiny little corner works defines it all.

  You need to get out and see how everyone else lives.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I rented a car for a week recently: $1000

  I’ve owned my car (small pickup) for 20 years now, paid $11000 for it. I’ve put nothing but, oil changes, tires, brakes, regular maintenance. Gas is a wash because a rental would use the same gas.

  If I rented a car 2 or 3 times a year I would’ve paid as much as for my little pickup.

  OP is clueless.

  Lol, let’s see you move anything more than small items with a bike trailer.

  As the kids like to day, “touch grass”.

  Even if another life existed out there at an ideal distance to be receiving our first radio signals now, and they could receive it, and they were at a similar enough technology level…

  This would also mean they were ~100LY away, or a 200 year cycle to communicate, once they deciphered our signal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backups of Backups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The only concern I see here is the external drive. My experience has been that powered off drives fail more often than constantly-on drives.

  But you do have good coverage, so that’s a small risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backups of Backups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  For stuff like movies I simply use replication as my backup.

  Since I share media with fruends/family, I act as the central repository and replicate to them on a schedule (Mom on Monday, Friend 1 on Tuesday, etc), so I have a few days to catch an error. It’s not perfect but I check those replication logs weekly.

  I also have 2 local replicas of media, so I’m pretty safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re missing the point - he’s elevating cli above all else, which you don’t have on TV or mobile.

  Yes, I know there are media clients, I’ve used them all.

  Besides, he’s not doing anything different than running a “server stack” (which isn’t accurate, he’s still running a server, the device hosting the media services, even if they’re native to the OS).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, key me get this straight - you’re saying using command line to play video instead of a gui?

  Tell me, how does one do this on a TV? On an iPad? Phone?

  Dude, get ahold of yourself. I probably wrote more command line stuff before you were born than you’ve ever thought of - I’m not going backwards.

  Because it’s not a joke, it’s not even funny. It’s a simple mathematical thing which depends on a specific perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are not a real fan of Marvel or DC you have no right to come see these movies⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine, I’m not a fan - I find the stories juvenile and simplistic, so don’t worry, I won’t be bothering you sycophants by walking out… I just won’t be going.

  Does that make you happy?

  Geez, gatekeep much?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Dream of a Home Router / Server⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly, keeping components separated, especially the router.

  Hardware routers “cost money because they save money” (Sorry, couldn’t resist that movie quote). A purpose-built router will just run and run. I have 20 year old consumer routers that still “just work”. Granted, they don’t have much in the way of capability, but they do provide a stable gateway.

  I then use two separate mesh network tools, on multiple systems. The likelihood of both of those failing simultaneously is low. But I still have a single failure point in the router, which I accept - I’ve only had a couple outright fail over 25 years, so I figure it’s a low risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My Dream of a Home Router / Server⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Separate devices provide reliability and supportability.

  If your all-in-one device has issues, you can’t remote in to maintain it.

  Take a look at what enterprises do: redundant external interfaces, redundant services internally. You don’t necessarily need all this, but it’s worth considering "how do I ensure uptime and enable supportability and reliability? ".

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safebox: Open-source framework for managing self-hosted apps (Beta)⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, the pro plan is for the non-local stuff, which is at least understandable as domains and resolution services are non-free.

  Also ongoing development takes resources. Seems like a reasonable approach.

  No

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the answer.

  I’ve used them for close to 10 years. Started because one phone had a touchy port. Glued the adapter in the right position and never had a problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK before you buy a replacement for your cellphone that has stopped charging, buy the $10 cleaning kits and spend the time deep cleaning the phone's charging port.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, a year!

  That’s kind of telling about what it takes to cause a problem.

  Im the same, port up so I can pull it out one handed and use it.
