  Ah, and your sources? Like they have on the Wiki page. Cause the usual source for your version is “this blog, where somebody wants to sound smart”

  The blood thingy always meant what it means today:

  Blood is thicker than water

  I mean every obscenely rich and powerful person stole a lot of work from other people…otherwiese they wouldn’t be obscenely rich. So, he’s not forgotten, he isn’t and never was aware of how much he stole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asset reuse in videogames is essential, and we need to embrace it, says Assassin's Creed and Far Cry director: 'We redo too much stuff'⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A godsd for people without spatial awareness. But apparently I am too shitty to even leverage that. Never recognized anything and will get lost immediately in every game.

  When you need to backtrack a house, cave, whatever on a timer that game is over for me 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Started Deep Rock Galactic. Played DRG Survivor recently and had an itch.

  So far only solo, to get used to playing first person on the Steam Deck with motion controls, seems fine-ish.

  I guess the game really starts to shine with a few friends, so hopefully I can explore it more when my gaming buddies return from vacation next week.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel you have it the wrong way around. The “average Lemming” is pissed, because private piracy is prosecuted and punished while Meta’s is not.

  I, for once, couldn’t care less whether Meta pirates the shit out of all the books if I am allowed to do the same ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your self-hosting success of the week?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  In recent weeks samba became unstable for using external storage, finally came around this week to use sshfs instead. Seems stable for now, all I could ask for 👌

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Paging SpaceCowboy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I nean Predator seems kinda woke with that rainbow view, so it only makes sense.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to access home network (eg, VPN) without port forwarding?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The most basic solution would be a SSH reverse tunnel to a VPS outside. Have a machine in your network establish that tunnel and set it to reconnect automatically. Now you can SSH into one box of your network. If the router acts up and factory resets (as long as it reestablishes the connection), you can SSH back into your network and reconfigure everything from there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not to speak of the fact, that you cannot fill up at home or every other lamp post. You have to drive to designated stations to find gasoline. Ridiculous! What if the next station is too far to reach it, before you run out?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Forbidden Fruit⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gotta need a time machine for that sweet neanderthal pussy interesting anthroplogic research.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a legal thing. No (real) jurisdiction. In space nobody will shut down Grok generating kiddo porn. It’s basically the precursor for Epstein Island 2.0.

  Lifting half a ton…for how long?

  Heard as much, didn’t know the guy before 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just finished Death Stranding. WTF is this ending 😂? Felt like having to sit through a movie, c’mon I’m playing a game for a reason. Anyway, still liked it a lot, it only started to feel like an epilogue too early. And thankfully I’ve been mildly spoilered by the artwork of DS II, otherwise I might not have finished (like Enderal, the decision at the end was so shitty that I could not finish it).

  Next up: A plague tale, but I haven’t started yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LibreOffice Online, a self-hostable libre office environment, is coming back!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Open Office =/= Libre Office

  The latter is a long standing fork of the former and considered the “FLOSS standard office suite”. It has a “modern” ribbon UI, but you have to set it like that, it usually comes with the “old layout” by default.

  OnlyOffice is another office suite which brings a ribbon UI by default.

  While not open source Softmaker Office mimics Microsoft Office the closest (and claims the best available MS file format compatibility, but I cannot say anything about that).

  Here I was hoping to casually siege a castle, but alas, no battering ram to be had ☹️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Playing the same. It’s the first game I encountered where you can pause cutscenes…that alone is worth so much with two young children with very bad sleeping habits 😂.

  I feel your “review”. I kinda love the story, but the delivery (ha) feels a bit off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Storyden: A forum for the modern age.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well permaculture is a thing in gardening ^^

  I mean, it’s not “forever” as in “until the end of all things”, but as much set and forget as I would like in a knowledgebase (and in a garden).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends highly on the people. I learned that way, to get started with recipes enabled me to get early successes which in turn motivated me.

  Down the road I needed different things from my setup, which could not be found in a simple recipe anymore, so I needed to learn the parts of the machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone old enough to have used this before GPS?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, it’s routing you along businesses who paid for you to be routed along there. They crank up the monetization of maps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Work smarter, not harder⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, no one is hiring me one way or the othee, but with that method I can look at my CV and feel I accomplished something. So, that’s good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World's largest particle accelerator begins warming thousands of local French residents with waste energy from the 16-mile Large Hadron Collider⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can always freeze excess heat in case you need it later. Just microwave it, when needed!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, preparing a proper search is my use case. Like, how is this special screw called. I can describe the screw and tell the model to provide me a list of how that screw could be called.

  Then I can search for the terms of that list and one of the terms is the correct one. It’s way better than hoping, that somebody described the screw in the same words as you in some obscure forum.

  But, is it worth to burn the planet for that, make RAM, GPUs, hard drives unaffordable for everybody and probably crash the world economy for a better screw search? I doubt it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Buttcoin⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I mean, how you tell it, there’s some logic in it. But it feels like the logic of my 5 year old.

  “Currency is not backed by gold anymore, so we simulate finite supply and mining work, in order to establish such a currency again.”

  Allright. But…did they ever think about why gold is not a currency anymore and an investment vehicle instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the laziest way to create a website that looks really nice and is maintainable?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  html5up.net if it is a single landing page. Just grab a template and edit its content to your liking.

  Publii if it is some kind of blog or has a few subpages.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Suggestions for online petitions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That totally depends which institution you want to petition!? Like, how do I officially petition my neighbourhood council? Or how do I petition my boy scout association for something?

  There are many cases where it’s just “I and those 50 people want something from a very local instance of something”.

  Hell, it could be, that I want to ask my local grocer to list a specific sort of pepper and show them, that he would have more customers than just me, so it’s worth his while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting multiple services with one IP address.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, fair. Those docker-composes which just forward the ports to the host on all interfaces should burn. At least they should make them 127.0.0.1 forwards, I agree.
