  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 ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ 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.

  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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨week⁩ 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 ⁨week⁩ 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.

  FWIW Taiga had an rewrite and the successor is tenzu.net/en/

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most mouse pointers designs assume right-handed users⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I changed my pointer many years ago to be a lefty!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting multiple services with one IP address.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hosting multiple services with one IP address.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  all internal services will be accessible

  What? Only when they are configured to listen on outside interfaces. Which, granted, they often are in default configuration, but when OP uses Docker on that host, chances are kinda slim that they run some rando unconfigured database directly. Which still would be password or authentication protected in default config.

  I mean, it is never wrong slapping a firewall onto something, I guess. But OTOH those “all services will be exposed and evil haxxors will take you over” is also a disservice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I just give them a contract for a speech of two minutes, worth 3 million, I guess. Even those politicians will see the appeal in just receiving plain ol’ money instead of jumping through all those hoops.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China’s ‘artificial sun’ breaks nuclear fusion limit thought to be impossible⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s why I always want to crowdsource corruption. Everybody who wants something gives 3 Euro/Dollar/Whatever and we just carry those cash suitcases to the morons in charge. What big companies can do, we can do!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That they’ll sell you big trucks only, forever. You can never own a practical, small car 😢

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

  Had the same feeling about Horizon. The Open World was not that open and not much to discover. The story kept me hooked though, it is well written.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony AI patent will see PlayStation games play themselves when players are stuck⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait until they discover some remote controller, where you can switch the games that are played according to some schedule. Like some form of game stations. Maybe they could broadcast them for the whole population somehow and talk about the games they played watched last week on their next town hall gathering or Sunday church with Aunt Lizzy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fill the water in bottles behind your generator and sell it at cheaper rates to folks who pay for their water…even more profit!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe getting chill and more aware is just a function of getting older. I mean, I live in a country where nobody is armed and: I get in less dangerous situations and am more aware than in my youth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can skew the results if you’re accounting for bad aim.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you get a certificate for an internal domain?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk if I understood the problem correctly, but you can renew with DNS challenge, if the real server is not reachable directly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Setting up VPS (finally)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I get the same feeling, like, as if three letter agencies from all over the world start targeting your server specifically in 300 ms.

  What happens is, yes, your server is immediately bombarded by ScriptKiddies from all over the world, and if you set up root SSH with hunter2 as password, that thing is taken over immediately. But if you only allow keyfile SSH you’re 98% there already ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  HDD works for media, allright.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This long-term data storage will last 14 billion years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait until humans find a way to divide by 0. Suddenly Cambrian explosion in science, immediate Warp civilization and whatnot.

  Then they find this chip, but cannot decipher it, because they don’t understand mathematics not able to divide by 0 😅.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge hands Lambo.com to Lamborghini after ruling owner acted in bad faith⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do people even still exist who have the arcane knowledge to type in a domain directly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CopyParty is kind of a great file server⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  All config with docker is the same, so basically every service is kind of maintained and especially backuped the same.

  Plus, config is just files. If the server is dead, copy volumes and compose files to new machines, two commands, all services up again. No difference in how to deploy some services.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨same shit every day, on god⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Solar concentration is boiling some other liquid, so there’s some variance 😅

  Yep, used ECC server RAM DDR3 or DDR4 is basically thrown out. Unfortunately most consumer mainboards do not support ECC.

  No, it’s clearly the fault of the buses. So defunding public transport it is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just saw the news of a new Enshrouded update yesterday and thought about trying it again. Did they change the build system in recent months? While I enjoyed discovering the map, I somehow found the building lacking. My benchmark is the Valheim build system, that is the sweet spot for me. What I crave for is a “survival” game with a Valheim build system AND a reason to build castles/villages/whatever. That is what Enshrouded did well with those characters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Preparing for the hardware market disruption⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but storage requirements go up, so it stays the same (at best). It feels more expensive though.
