And you’re going to honestly believe a mod’s reasoning at face-value?

Irrelevant. As a literate human being, I can click on your username and see your submissions. I can search the alt they listed and read those submissions. And, finally, I can look at those and arrive at the conclusion that both of those seem like trolling and the same person.

Now that you’ve been sufficiently fed, I bid you adieu with my handy dandy block button.

You mean this post that’s not removed? kbin.melroy.org/m/…/1318023

Looks like a cromulent, albeit absolute shit, opinion to me. So far so good (using that phrase loosely). BUT… you seem to have behaved very asshole-ish in the comments.

And the modlog says Trolling and Ban Evasion and listed another alt with a similar post history to yours.

So, maybe instead of whinging you do some self reflection, yeah?

Yep, exactly, and same.

I feel like most of my Simpsons references eventually circle back to that episode.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Yep, that’s why I haven’t messed with Kubernetes either; way overkill for a homelab and especially so since I downsized due to soaring electricity costs here.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
The only reason I gave up on Docker Swarm was that it seemed pretty dead-end as far as being useful outside the homelab. At the time, it was still competing with Kubernetes, but Kube seems to have won out.

Still, it was nice and a lot easier to use than Kubernetes once you wrapped your head around swarm networking.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISO Project Ideas For Wyse 3040 & 5010 Thin Clients⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I had 15 of the 2013-era 5010 thin clients. Most of them have had their SSDs and RAM upgraded.

They’ve worn many hats since I’ve had them, but some of their uses and proposed uses were:
1. I did a 15 node Docker Swarm setup and used that to both run some of my applications as well as learn how to do horizontal scaling.
2. One of them was my router for a good while. Only replaced it in that role when I got symmetric gigabit fiber. Before that, I used VLANs to to run LAN and WAN over its single ethernet port since I had asymmetric 500 Mbps and never saturated the port.
3. Run small/lightweight applications in highly-available pairs/clusters
4. Use them to practice clustered services (Multi-master Galera/MariaDB, multi-master LDAP, CouchDB, etc)
5. Use them as Snapcast clients in each room
6. Add wireless cards, install OpenWRT, and make powerful access points for each room (can combine with the above and also be a Snapcast client)
7. Set them up as VPN tunnel endpoints, give them out to friends, and have a private network
Of the 15, I think I’m only actively using 3 nowadays. One is my MPD+Snapcast server, one is running HomeAssistant, and the third is my backup LDAP server. The rest I just spin up as needed for various projects; I downsized my homelab and don’t have a lot of spare capacity for dev/test VMs these days, so these work great in place of that.

In my 40+ years of life and having dealt with many a drug dealer in my younger days, absolutely none of them have been this pushy 😆

Best I can offer is github.com/searxng/searxng

I run it at home and have configured it as the default search engine in all my browsers.

To me it is the ultimate gamble with one’s own thought autonomy, and an abandonment of truth in favor of false comfort.

So, like church? lol

No wonder there’s so much worrying overlap between religion and AI.

I’m about that same age but am so glad we’ve largely abandoned the “www” for websites.

On my personal project website, I have a custom listener setup to redirect people to “aarp.org” if they enter it with “www” instead of just the base domain.

server {
    listen              443 ssl;
    http2		on;
    server_name         www.mydomain.xyz;

    ssl_certificate     /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/fullchain.pem;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/letsencrypt/live/mydomain.xyz/privkey.pem;
    ssl_dhparam         /etc/nginx/conf.d/tls/shared/dhparam.pem;
    ssl_protocols       TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
    ssl_session_cache   shared:SSL:10m;
    ssl_session_timeout 15m;
  
    ...
    
    location ~* {
      return 301 https://aarp.org/;
    }
}

The only one I didn’t hate was the jingle:

“That’s F-R-E-E that spells free credit report dot com, baby”.

😆

Yeah, but they should take that pissing contest out of the UX.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I was an adult during that time, and I don’t recall it being anywhere near as annoying. Well, except the TV and radio ads saying “…or visit our website at double-you double-you double-you dot Company dot com. Again, that’s double-you double-you double-you dot company dot com.”

YMMV, but it didn’t get annoying until apps entered the picture and the only way to deal with certain companies was through their app.

I predate both of those events by multiple decades lol.

Printers were well established even on the Trash-80 I grew up with. The bloatware drivers aren’t really what I’m talking about. I suppose Clippy could be considered prior art to the whole “shoving AI in your face” but at the time I was a WordPerfect fanboy.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If AI was all it was cracked up to be, it wouldn't be shoved in your face 24/7⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I learned a long time ago to never install manufacturer printer drivers. Or, at least, never install them from the provided Setup.exe.

They’ve always installed a bunch of bloatware (HP has always been the worst but other brands are just as bad).

If you look in the setup folder, there’s usually the raw drivers you can install from Device Manager. If the driver package is just a single .exe file, you can usually unpack it with 7zip and get at its inner contents.

If that fails, the system-included HP LaserJet 4200 PCL driver is about as close to a universal print driver as you can find lol.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone have long range 802.11ah / HaLow experience?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I think the point of 11h is to achieve that kind of range without directional antennas. Basically as a higher-bandwidth version of LoRa.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.
