- Comment on Hollow Knight Sequel 'Silksong' Crashed Game Stores, as $20 Price Irks Competitors 7 hours ago:
Atari released a similar game on the same day as Silksong (Adventure of Samsara) and it had only 12 concurrent players on Steam.
Oops 😬

Yes

I mean, that’s a pretty accurate one sentence summary. Only thing that’s missing is that a random bystander “recognized” him even though he was wearing a mask and all of the photos we had of the suspect up to that point were 90% eyebrow.

Oh don’t worry, they’ll institute police checkpoints everywhere across the country for “safety” and “national security”. Worked great for Ireland!

You obviously think the post is shit lmao

Luigi was missing for a few days, after executing a masterful getaway in the middle of the day in the largest city in the country. Then just randomly shows up at a McDonalds with everything needed to convict him packaged together in a bag. Definitely not unusual at all. Nothing to see here folks! The system works and the police are master investigators. It’s impossible to get away with a crime like this!

A reverse proxy from somewhere like Cloudflare would allow you to host without any router config. Plus, it’d give a little more protection against bots, but it’s not going to block 100% of them.

B2 does charge for API calls: www.backblaze.com/…/transaction-pricing
Though, it’s not so bad and they give you 2.5k free calls of each paid tier per day.

I really like duplicacy. It’s just a single executable you add to your path, then configure it to back up to basically any remote you want. I don’t even bother to run it in a container since it doesn’t have dependencies. Encrypted, compressed, deduplicated, incremental backups. The algorithm is pretty slick too. It can back up multiple machines to the same repository, and it’ll dedupe across them without any locks required.
For storage, you can just go with whatever is cheapest/easiest. I use a gdrive I’m paying for regardless for effectively free storage. But if I didn’t have that, Hetzner seems very appealing. I think it’s $4/mo for 1TB? Very reasonable, and you wouldn’t need to worry about api calls or chunk size / file count like you would with S3/B2/StorJ.
- Comment on How to Decide what an Appropriate Medical Response is for Loved Ones 5 days ago:
Yeah, ER is almost never the right place. But if you do go to an ER, make sure it’s attached to a hospital. The free standing ones are notorious for predatory billing and will take your first born after saving them.
Urgent care and minute-clinic type things can be good. Primary care physicians are typically best, though they may be difficult to get an appointment for.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 1 week ago:
No, it’s not. Consoles (and technology in general) historically trend cheaper over time. Demand lowers, manufacturing cost lowers, newer tech releases, costs adjust to accommodate.
It’s very abnormal that the current gen of consoles has not only not gotten cheaper yet, but have actually raised in price. Like, very very abnormal.
Shrinkflation is a real thing, but historically it has nothing to do with consoles.
- Comment on My brother got arrested for a dime bag. His picture got put up on the jails website. And they advertise. So shouldn't my brother get paid at least a little for providing clicks? 2 weeks ago:
Arrest records are public. Even if you’re innocent or the charges are dropped or whatever, they still smear your reputation by putting your mugshot up. It can be a good thing too, since it cuts down on the number of people arrested quietly with no disclosed reason.

Can a stand-alone quest play Alyx?
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
And now, lots of web searches return results of AI SEO slop chock full of incorrect information, which then fules subsequent training sets and LLM web searches and creates a negative feedback loop that could destroy the internet.
