- Comment on “We’re going to take things slow": South of Midnight devs now own the rights to all their games again, after quitting Xbox, and are working on a new game 1 day ago:
Wasn’t it a highly narrative, stylistically polished game with hour and hour of voice acting, cutscenes and animation, and set pieces?
Do you realize what it takes to make all of that, and make it consistent?
Now imagine the tech keeps changing as you are working, and you have to keep revising over and over until you release. It’s not just putting a movie to film, you’re aiming for a moving target and if your aim was off 3-5 years ago, you have reintegration hell awaiting you. And that’s normal, without missteps or rewrites.
Honestly I’m surprised it only takes 7 years.
- Comment on Private security firms will soon be allowed to hack overseas cybercriminals 1 day ago:
And soon this will be used on Americans under the excuse they had “contact” with a foreign entity and somehow the 4th no longer applies

- Comment on first nas network struggle 3 days ago:
NAT is not a security feature. This is a poor recommendation. Just because something has a globally-routable address does not make it accessible from anywhere.
- Comment on Any tips on plastic adhesives? Trying to repair headphones 1 week ago:
Loc-Tite Plastic Bonder has worked well for me in these situations, but sometimes it just doesn’t seem to take well; other times it holds better than the original plastic does. Worth a shot?
- Comment on Figured something out today that in hindsight seems rather obvious 3 weeks ago:
End cuts trapped behind fascia can retain water if they’re not completely sealed off from it getting in there in the first place. Better to treat your ends before covering them because even if you do it perfectly now, the deck can get worn or damaged later and allow water intrusion. Lasting builds design for reasonable fault tolerances.
- Comment on Figured something out today that in hindsight seems rather obvious 3 weeks ago:
Only if he treated the ends before the fascia board went on 😬

Shouldn’t you set it about 1/4” below whatever you’re cutting?
- Comment on The Balcony Solar Movement Will Fry Trump’s Brain 1 month ago:
Sorry, it’s the tone of the headline I’m shitting on, not the concept of solar or the liberals who may fancy it.
This shit ain’t gonna break his brain, he’s just going to say “nice try communists” and ban it
- Comment on The Balcony Solar Movement Will Fry Trump’s Brain 1 month ago:
Yes, surely we’ve got him now! Big Oil and Peso Island defeated by white moderate liberals with balconies. Kumbaya, sister!
- Comment on What path does data take when connecting to a domain at my address? 1 month ago:
Can you set a port on DNS services that don’t typically use an SRV record (like Minecraft does, for example)?
I think I tired to figure this out once but couldn’t get it to work with web browsers. Ended up just looking at the HTTP request to find the subdomain and then routed from a reverse proxy as appropriate…
- Comment on "Is it okay to cuck your own daughter? Asking for a friend." 1 month ago:
It’s pronounced “coom” in this usage, which I realize doesn’t make it any better.
When people get good grades, they say Summa cum laude
Which is Latin for “some will cum loudly” like when they see what grade you got
- Comment on PRISM - a self-hosted OSINT platform with a real-time dashboard 2 months ago:
So you vibecoded a security product and named it after a famous government program known for spying unlawfully on American citizens
To what, capitalize on the SEO?
This is kinda gross dude, not gonna lie

hoes mad
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 11 months ago:
SQLite has made huge performance improvements in the last like 3-5 years.
I wouldn’t spin up an enterprise NextCloud with it but for a home NAS serving up to maybe a dozen people it’s more than enough.
- Comment on 18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using 11 months ago:
SQLite actually has incredible performance these days. But I get your point :)

You can install NextCloud with
