  Some days there’s not a lot to go around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How has there not yet been a leak of the Epstein files? Surely there is someone with access to them that could have been subject to worldwide pressure to let something out.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They already faked a suicide for a dude in prison to keep that info from getting out, that’s a hell of a warning.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm cooked, chat.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  One thing I wish someone would have talked at me about more often in relation to getting older… You already have problems you’re probably not paying enough attention to that you should look at now.

  Does your neck always hurt in a weird way when you get up? Mole that you were looking at one day and it doesn’t look quite right? Maybe you just started feeling a weird feeling in some part of your body and it never got worse so you just got used to ignoring it?

  You’re getting to the point where those tend to start escalating. Take inventory and get them checked out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's a realistic, low-power home server setup in 2025 for Plex/Jellyfin, Nextcloud, and reliable backups?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  has anyone pushed Raspberry Pi 5 to the point of reliable transcoding for a household of 2-3 people?

  People definitely have and you can physically do that now… but from experience, you’ll likely be happier doing almost anything else. I wouldn’t consider it if you want those 2-3 streams to occasionally occur simultaneously. Although, reminder that the best plan is to consider ways where you don’t need to transcode.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When we eat the billionaires, we should spare Gabe Newell? No?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst thing he does that we know of seems to be trying to collect the fastest iteration of every type of vehicle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve announces three new products: the Steam Frame, Steam Machine and Steam Controller⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Some are estimating around $800, but Steam has commented that affordability is a primary focus.

  I feel like they’ve got to beat console prices. I’m hoping we see prices similar to steam deck at launch complete with varying tiers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Absolute zero is almost always colder than sub-zero.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they’re making a Kelvin joke.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Perfect Picture of Helth⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It contains at least one whole wheat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Technitium DNS v14 is released with support for clustering⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Plus side, the increase in functionality with technitium is drastic. Down side, the increase in functionality is drastic…

  You can do everything you’d want to do with pihole with technitium instead, but there’s a lot of additional advanced features that will have you reading a lot of documentation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do air purifiers really reduce dust much?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are, but the mapping functionality drastically increases how well the vacuum works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨haveibeenpwned alternatives / data?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because of Enterprise contracts, for the things you can check off with HIBP… 4 grand is not a lot for them. But, then also if you offer a separate plan and just say ‘no enterprise, we trust you’, many businesses will just ignore the enterprise plan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Safebox: Open-source framework for managing self-hosted apps (Beta)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, you might be right, it looks like there are plans for a premium subscription service with pay walled features after the beta is over.

  Hard pass.

  He’s still not technically wrong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And, I totally get that! It’s like yeah, I know how to setup a symlink to probably make that work, but you know what’s a lot easier than that… Just not doing that and just having it work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s sad in a way but I kinda feel like proton is going to near wipe out the very few Linux native ports we get. It’s so much easier and more stable than trying to build and package for Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are third party services to handle that and some have been operating for a long time… with no action coming from reddit.

  There have also been rumors of special directives to help maintain corporate presence on subreddits/etc. Things like upvote/downvote fudging on AMAs and other items focusing on areas with lots of business visibility.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake out now and Steam Deck Playable⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a Square Enix game, so they’re asking for full new game price, $60 US, and it also utilizes Denuvo.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are in the same family as hops, interesting beer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Fans"who don’t want Bruce Wayne to have "normal" friends or see Peter Parker financially stable don't want to see these character grow⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’ve had storylines that fleshed out Bruce, two faces origin being one of the more popular ones, but I think the popular story is that Bruce is just an exaggerated character batman plays. Bruce doesn’t really exist anymore. Even the stories where we see batman costume free, the connections that seem real feel like they’re connecting to batman just with his mask off.

  I’m also with you on your last point even if I think you were being sarcastic, personally not sure how the story of batman makes sense if he has a mutual loving support structure in his life. It would be interesting to see batman happy, but it just feels kind of like a story ender.

  I’d still give your idea a read if it was made, but I’m definitely coming into it feeling kinda wary.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s about redemption’: Peter Molyneux says Masters of Albion will make up for decades of ‘overpromising on things’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been awhile since I played Godus, but I don’t remember micro transactions. May have forgotten, but remember it just being a super simplified version of populous. I only played in early access though, not sure on changes or if it ever had a full release.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minecraft is removing code obfuscation in Java Edition⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They already do that for bedrock.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think people are confused because the difference between mount on access and mount on boot is meaningless for 98% of people. I can think of reasons to need the latter, but not many.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Forgot to add ‘And trying to figure out how best to sell it to advertisers’ to the end.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good things to purchase to add a new distraction to my life?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, majority of therapists are garbage. I’ve experienced the same, but once you get one who actually shows up and is actually good at what they do, it’s worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨MicroProse reveal Dungeon Holdem a mixture of poker and dungeon crawling that looks ace⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Microprose, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.

  It seems like they’ve had a lot of companies licensing out the name for various minor things over the past few decades, but now some guy in Australia bought the name fully and is trying to buy up as much Microprose IP as he can to revitalize the company.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, or even the other way around. It’s kind of generic, but we feel pretty good about one of the better ways of reducing your risk of cancer being to exercise and eat healthy and that will also get your libido going.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I do it at least 35 times just in case⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  With the quantity of ejaculations being self controlled, this feels like we could just be looking at a marker of general health.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this thing look burned to you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If that’s the case, I’d replace the fuse at least if you can get one cheap. Good luck sourcing that cap though, probably looking at finding one with compatible specs instead of the exact part and if you choose right that’s probably fine. I hate doing this kind of work, so probably better people to talk to, but from what I can see and if I had to fix it, I’d replace the fuse and then see how I feel.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this thing look burned to you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t want to segue too much, but is your goal here to repair the board or to repair the TV?

  Nothing really looks totally busted, but the board has several parts that look mildly rough. Like I hate that fuse, but is it just dirty? If your goal is to do your part to not contribute more ewaste to the world and learn new things, I love it, but if you just want a working TV… new boards can frequently be crazy cheap, may be a plan especially if not sure what’s actually wrong with this one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any advice for me a guy turning 18 yo old??⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exercise, have a salad for dinner sometimes, be careful who you date and keep friends you can trust to tell you when you’re fucking up.
