• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Problem is, there’s no such thing as bad press. Here we are talking about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I use Caddy for reverse-proxying into another local machine... is my local connection not HTTPS?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes and no. Usually you do HTTPS termination on the same device, so the traffic doesn’t actually go out onto the network. To sniff it, you’d have to be root on the machine, in which case you’re already compromised.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox Plex Hardware Acceleration ⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You could read the script and see what it does.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Change my username?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  You could just register that account too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is Borderlands really all that popular still? Like I remember seeing the first few games everywhere, and people talking about them, but that was years ago. I realize I’m biased but I would expect to hear something about them…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Simplify home hardware for selfhosting⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it’s apple hardware and runs macos, so it’s a bit kneecapped. It’s not as flexible. But it is solid and you can run almost anything you can on Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you tried self-hosting your own email recently?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure gmail’s filters are per-user. I’ve had it react after just one flag/unflag, and I doubt that it would do that it would only take one action to change it for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which open alternative apps list is the best?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why not just all of them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This game is fantastic.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Most of the quality is below even amateur level. Like middle school level writing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I couldn’t even name a hundred safety features. Ten would be enough. Age gate, moderators, a report function… What more does it need?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone finally made a "Sonarr for YouTube"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best practice for connecting lots of HDD to motherboards with few SATA ports?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  An HBA does not need to be flashed. A RAID controller does, so that it performs as an HBA and not a RAID controller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proxmox Backup Server 4 with S3 storage⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Supported as a tech preview. I haven’t personally used it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  UPSes are to bridge gaps in short outages, either mains blips or the gap between the mains going out and the generator coming online. Do not rely on them for extended runtime.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI to share 8% of its revenue with commercial partners, The Information reports⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Revenue, not profit. Even if they make a net loss they’d will be sharing the money.

  I’m more concerned about the individual and independent creators. How will they be compensated for the use of their work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New moderator for this community!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Should they be consolidated into one post then? It’s just bothersome to see a bunch of ads (because let’s be real, trailers are ad material) dumped in quick succession. The only ones I’d watch are for games I’m interested in playing, but for the ones I really want to play, I’d rather go in mostly blind so I won’t watch those either.

  It’s not just one trailer, either, it’s announcement, release date, “now on steam”, cinematic trailer, gameplay trailer, release announcement trailer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New moderator for this community!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Trailer dumping: useful content, or ad spam?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  BoTW did pretty good. Prime 1 was relatively open world. In BoTW, you could get to a lot of places, but some were still semi-gated by damaging cold, damaging heat, inability to climb slippery walls. In Prime 1, you could get to a lot of places, but some were still semi-gated by damaging heat, damaging radiation, inability to climb spider ball tracks. But in both games, if you knew the tricks, you could get around those gates (though in BoTW this was intentional, in the Prime games it was not).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backing up easily⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. Rsync will happily sync a deletion you didn’t mean to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New VMScape attack breaks guest-host isolation on AMD, Intel CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mostly no, unless you expose your VM to the Internet or run untrusted code.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Big Tech: Convenience is a Trap⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just you, that’s a pretty common principle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finally setup nginx as a reverse proxy.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Right, and when you said you “finally setup nginx”, that was a verb, and should have been “set up”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Confirm passthrough understanding for proxmox⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You can probably assign it to multiple VMs or containers, and if it’s not available then the VM or container will fail to start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t get SSHing shim to work with forgejo for the life of me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s in the log on the server?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikimedia sunsets separate mobile domains⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does this mean they’ll finally stop giving the fucking mobile site on desktop just because someone couldn’t edit out the “m.” from the link?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources to purchase mp3s?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Huh, I missed that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources to purchase mp3s?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and while borrowing contributes to their “we’re needed, please fund us” justification, it doesn’t directly support the artists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sources to purchase mp3s?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Especially given that they’re owned by Epic Games

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And it does not mean the data is encrypted at rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft doesn't understand the Fediverse⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The phrasing is really weird too. Like I would understand if they were asserting their trademark, but saying it’s an account they’ve lost access to?
