- Comment on The people who protest against the Palestinian Genocide would be the same people who protested against the Holocaust. 1 day ago:
Then there are those who ask to expand the Holocaust and increase the throughput that disengaged people indirectly support by not arguing/voting against their wishes at least.
- Comment on Appropriate compliance 3 days ago:
I dunno about malicious, more like dumb request gets dumb results.

Micky7 trying a new alt?
- Comment on Trump is openly committing treason. He must be impeached and removed from office. 2 weeks ago:
Which part? By this point it's kinda an ongoing river of treason
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
And the Internet comes to a halt as every company around fights to develop an install base with the span of the current major players.
Not that I'm a fan of the mass surveillance system our current internet entails, but having a major influx of less technically competent companies creating their own networks and site plugins is just asking for an even more chaotic security landscape.
- Comment on I wonder what game they're trying to play 2 weeks ago:
Don't know about on PlayStation but: https://borderlands.fandom.com/wiki/Good_Touch
An unlisted effect occurs with game controllers using vibrate that breaks the fourth wall. While the character wields the gun, the controller will vibrate continuously even when not firing.
- Comment on [question] Help me access my local homeserver using a public domain name 2 weeks ago:
I think I can see where they're going with it, but it is a bit hard to write out
Say I set up my favorite service in house, and said service has a client app. If I create my own DNS at home and point the client to the entry, and the service is running an encrypted connection with a self signed cert it can give the client app fits for being untrusted.
Compare that to putting NPM in front of the app, using it to get a LetsEncrypt cert using the DNS record option (no need to have LE reach the service publicly) and now you have a trusted cert signed by a public CA for the client app to connect to.
I actually do the same for a couple internal things that I want the local traffic secured because I don't want creds to be sniffable on the wire, but they're not public facing. I already have a domain for other public things so it doesn't cost anything extra to do it this way.
- Comment on YouTube coughs up $24.5 million to make Trump case go away 3 weeks ago:
This settlement might help because Trump has directed one $22 million payment YouTube will make to the body overseeing his pet project – construction of a ballroom at the White House. Another $2.5 million payment will go to plaintiffs who joined the case and also felt YouTube infringed their rights.
A true man of the people, a couple scraps for however many may have felt their 'rights' to spout their conspiracies in YouTube where infringed, and 10X that for a fancy room for rich people to party in and plan how to become richer.
- Comment on What if we were *just a lil evil*? 3 weeks ago:
That's mostly the reason I went for them, trying as some back burner thing to get whatever appliances, lights cameras, etc all figured how I could do them fully in house. Not a huge priority, switches work just fine, but if I do set such things up the idea of it failing because of an Internet outage is a no-go

On totally unrelated news, I'm finding the my new ecobee to be pretty sweet. Supposedly it can be two stepped into homeassistant via Apple's webkit?
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
I was probably using Emby already by then, had bought a lifetime license since it didn't require bouncing things off and outside server like Plex did (or was it that Plex was a renewing subscription, I forget) , so it just stayed out of inertia.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
I can't say I've given Jellyfin a proper try (as in using it and the clients exclusively for a long period) but we have been using Emby for quite a while before I knew it existed.
If I'm not mistaken Jellyfin is actually a fork of Emby so they're pretty similar, but one is a bit older.
- Comment on Can someone find a redeeming factor about this game? Like anything good about it. 4 weeks ago:
Pretty sure that's where I played it. In an era where having a round head on your character was good graphics it was pretty fun.
- Comment on Beware, another "wonderful" conservative instance to "free us" has appeared 4 weeks ago:
Is there a handy list somewhere to defed from? I don't expect them to gain any traction unless they had an existing user base before, but would be nice to keep communal running tab.
- Comment on Trump floats pulling licenses if networks are 'against' him after Jimmy Kimmel suspended 5 weeks ago:
Nothing says legitimate presidential status like using every means possible to silence dissent.
LALALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!!!

Tell a Minnesota native it's gonna be 32 degrees and they'll be out in shorts either way you measure.

It's the one part of Murica measurements that makes decent sense. Science aside I just want to know what to wear that day in a human scale.
- Comment on Just had a hospital group employee tell me to simply email medical information 1 month ago:
Many places refer to secure email when they mean a portal that function is more like a private chat app. A lot of them are even sold as 'secure mail' but don't use anything resembling SMTP.
Instead you log into a page, and send a message to the specified recipient who might have an email style address on it, or maybe on the backend it uses their email system for authentication even.
