- Comment on Humans Have a Third Set of Teeth. New Medicine May Help Them Grow. 5 hours ago:
Sure, if you eat a lot of it and have poor dental hygiene. But you have to eat a lot of it. Like the only stories of it being a problem are like one person who would constantly drink lemon water. It’s not particularly acidic, but the constant exposure made it a problem. Most people aren’t anywhere near that level.
- Comment on It's rude to show AI output to people | Alex Martsinovich 10 hours ago:
The environmental cost is enormous.
It doesn’t expose you to actual creative writing, either. Like people go to museums to see Picasso. This is the equivalent of the art on the wall at Olive Garden.

Your English is fine and your thoughts there are communicated perfectly.
- Comment on What if the Fediverse had its own full-scale News Network? 1 day ago:
It’s your idea, you tell us what it would look like to you. Because we have plenty of people doing journalism and using federated platforms as their primary platforms.

Well no Irishman is a Scotsman so that tracks

No. Trump declared it changed, much like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy. Until there is an act of Congress changing the name, it is still the DoD, and the Kennedy Center is the Kennedy Center, and so on.
- Comment on Why are basketball shoes so squeaky? 1 day ago:
You probably weren’t playing on the same kind of surface, nor exerting NBA-level forces on your shoes.
- Comment on Hate more common in early reader comments 1 day ago:
I don’t think they’re suggesting that posting an article causes hate comments, no.
- Comment on Digital "bulletin board" for tasks. 2 days ago:
Like a Kanban board?
- Comment on Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ 3 days ago:
Well that’s just objectively untrue. Arby’s and Subway are easily worse.
- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 3 days ago:
So you do remember that you have several frequently-used spreadsheets.
- Comment on Anthropic ditches its core safety promise in the middle of an AI red line fight with the Pentagon 4 days ago:
Prescient?
- Comment on Docker container with a web UI to manage virtual machines? 4 days ago:
What platform has a browser but not an ssh client? I use juicessh on android. I’d bet even the Nintendo DS has a homebrew ssh client.

Doesn’t seem to be meeting expectations in that sector either.

Aha! By posting this comment, I know you don’t have an alligator!

- Comment on Amazon BUSTED for Widespread Scheme to Inflate Prices Across the Economy— Amazon, its vendors, and competing retailers are price fixing, hiking up prices for consumer products 4 days ago:
It’s probably still cheaper than prime. It hasn’t been worth the money for me for years. I still try to buy from local businesses that deserve support first, though.

Aliexpress search results are garbage. A dozen knockoffs of the same thing, sorting doesn’t work, and when you search for a specific part it shows you the price of the right product but the wrong variety.
But it’s cheaper than Amazon, cuts out Bezos, and for standard shipping is usually about as fast.

I bought something off Facebook marketplace that turned out to be someone proxying Amazon. I respect the hustle on that one, I suppose I deserved it for not checking more throughly.

That’s why you’ve got to get chummy with the banker and promise them a cut, and also that you’ll give them some of your cookies after the game.
- Comment on Meta Employee Deleted 9TB of Torrented Files, Adult Film Producers Claim 4 days ago:
You had an external hard drive on a parallel port? I’ve never heard of such a thing. You sure it wasn’t scsi? Or maybe even centronics?
- Comment on Network Security Audit 5 days ago:
No scanning? External, internal, and host scans. I’d also set up a network traffic analyzer if you want to go really advanced.
- Comment on A Meta AI security researcher said an OpenClaw agent ran amok on her inbox 5 days ago:
Bad title. She ran it, with full access to her email.
- Comment on Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proof 5 days ago:
This. So you’ve pinned to a specific reproducible version. Great! It’s still horribly riddled with vulnerabilities.
- Comment on How to reach different services via name instead of ip? 5 days ago:
Yes, reverse proxy, but you don’t want to publish on different IP addresses. Your services should bind to one IP, different ports, and the reverse proxy accepts it all on 443 and routes it based on the host header.
I use traefik for this, set labels in the docker compose and it Just Works. It also gets certs for me based on the acme DNS challenge. Some people use caddy instead of traefik and they seem happy with it.
- Comment on LibreOffice blasts 'fake open source' OnlyOffice for working with Microsoft to lock users in 1 week ago:
That sounds like it should be relatively easy to implement.

Multiple black trash bags, then.

A black trash bag, a roll of duct tape, and a ladder are not destructive but still very effective.
- Comment on systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success 1 week ago:
Its success is mitigated by how difficult it makes networking with . All I want to do is write out the config and have it work. I don’t want networkd or resolved mucking around with stuff. You end up having problems like this guy: piefed.social/c/…/oddness-with-systemd-resolved
- Comment on systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success 1 week ago:
Yeah, sysv init is all just scripts under the hood, and it’s a bit fragile/arcane. You have to write a bunch of files by hand, reference them correctly, and place and link them in the right directories. Systemd is a bit better, I have to admit that.
