- Comment on The longer I'm alive, the more I feel that people make things complicated to feel important. 12 hours ago:
Funny someone downvoted you - clearly they’ve never dealt with something un- or poorly documented.
- Comment on Archive Today (archive.is) is Down 14 hours ago:
If you can, there’s a project that enables you to archive sites to your own server - archivebox.
- Comment on Eventually, coffee moves from a drink that gets you going to an emotional support drink. 19 hours ago:
I think that’s just movies - kids just wouldn’t like coffee because it’s bitter. No one I’ve known has said kids can’t have coffee, just recognize they won’t like it.
Hell, my father let me tast his coffee and beer when I was 5-ish because I was curious. I disliked the coffee completely, but the beer had something…
I stumbled on liking it in my 20’s.
- Comment on Is it possible to pay someone to create an excel sheet for me? 1 day ago:
Word can convert PDFs, then its easy to copy the data to excel and manipulate it there
- Comment on Most people don't consciously register whether they put their right or left leg in their pants first, but they do it the same way every time. 2 days ago:
Damn you for making me be conscious of this now.
Damn you to hell!
(Upvote granted)
- Comment on I need help with networking for VirtualBox guests running on Windows hosts. 2 days ago:
I’ve re-read the docs around VirtualBox bridging, and the only thing that I think could possibly cause this (though it shouldn’t since ping is a direct address to a specific IP/mac) is to enable Promiscuous mode (as someone else mentioned).
This shouldn’t fix it in my opinion, but it may, since ICMP could be considered undirected traffic (I don’t, but I didn’t code VirtualBox).
I’ve sometimes found using trace instead of ping can sometimes work where pings would be blocked, plus trace shows exactly where it dies along the path.
- Comment on New to android ROMs and degoogling and I have questions. 3 days ago:
It’s pretty much Graphene and Lineage now.
- Comment on What's stopping youtube from just going full authoritarian and mandate DRM for all their videos in attempt to prevent people from downloading it or block ads? 4 days ago:
To add, you could always capture via the output video too, regardless of the DRM nonsense. Once it leaves the device in a format a display can present it, any device that can utilize that signal can record it.
There’s always a million ways to skin the cat.

Only enough to make the average user comply.
Again, enough friction.

Fine, fine, good shower thought. Simple. Concise.
Upvote applied.
- Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 6 days ago:
Of, wow, ViewMaxx… I had completely forgotten that.
Sure would like to get a collectiin of this stuff and run in a VM just for fun.
HP had an internal system just to make a simple GUI in DOS, forget about was called. Just gave you buttons for a dozen programs.
- Comment on YSK that if you hesitate between Ketchup and Mustard, you should pick Mustard. It's healthier. 6 days ago:
It is?
According to whom, again?
What do you mean by “high”?
Again, more pseudoscience
- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 6 days ago:
I’ve seen shops that only take cash, with an ATM in the store.
I kind of get it for small shops. Even just reconciling the register every day is way easier with just cash.
- Comment on When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer? 6 days ago:
In the early days of CC you were charged per transaction.
Then you weren’t.
Now they’re doing it again.
I’ve seen it vary by card and vendor many times.

Oh Trumpet something… The hell of getting a stack back then
- Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 6 days ago:
Haha
- Comment on What was the Windows 3.0/1 graphical alternative that also ran on DOS? 6 days ago:
Digital Research DOS, of my memory is right

According to whom? You?
- Comment on Has cosmetic surgery gotten a bit out of hand lately? 6 days ago:
Wow, now it requires cosmetic surgery to use different lighting too?
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 1 week ago:
It takes very little knowledge or effort for a home cooked meal to cost 1/4 of, and taste better than, 90% of restaurants.
And after a few years of cooking that number rises to 98%+ of restaurants.
You can’t pay me to eat at a chain of any kind any more. At this point I have to go to a specialty place (where the entrees are $50 to $100) to eat better than I do at home.
- Comment on Why do russian parents insist on being treated to home cooked meals? 1 week ago:
That’s not uniquely Russian.
- Comment on To image cache or not to image cache 1 week ago:
1.2 TB is a shitload
That’s about 1/8 my current total storage - in today’s drive costs that’s about $40 for just primary storage, and then 2x - 3x that for backup storage.
- Comment on When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives. 1 week ago:
Have you gotten older? How many “older” people have you interviewed to come to this assumption?
- Comment on When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives. 1 week ago:
You posted a statement claiming to know how older people think - he was correcting your arrogant assumption.

Switching what?

Your definition is just yours - I see ebikes doing 35mph+ on the sidewalk all the time.
How do I know they’re going that fast? Because that’s how fast I’m going on the street, and I’m not passing them.
- Comment on Is there a culture/country that doesn't have sarcasm in its language? 1 week ago:
Knew there was a reason I liked Finns…
- Comment on Suggestions for budget small multi-purpose camera 1 week ago:
Sorry, I don’t.
I looked at them years ago, and found competing products to be just as capable for a lot less.
- Comment on Suggestions for budget small multi-purpose camera 1 week ago:
GoPro is the go-to for a reason, and they’re uncomfortably tiny when not in a case.
