FAFO
- Comment on Marathon's credits include the artist whose work Bungie used without permission 2 days ago:
I’m sure they’re super duper sorry and they’ll never do it again!
- Comment on Many more US states are planning or already have operating system age verification laws 3 days ago:
It’s easier for them to impose their will on a small amount of people (OS devs) who will in turn impose that will on everyone else thus tightening their control.
In short, hierarchy.
- Comment on Microsoft's next console will play PC games too, and it's currently codenamed Project Helix 3 days ago:
Project Helix
In lieu of a final name I’m just gonna call it the Slopbox.
- Comment on Bungie ask Marathon critics to delay "full reviews" till the release of an endgame zone, and I am wistfully reminded of Vault of Glass 3 days ago:
Big “it gets good 20 hours in” vibes here!

Who are they? Hard for who?
I propose a new title… “This thing I know a lot about is easy!”
- Comment on YSK: Wage theft is the biggest crime by annual losses 6 days ago:
I think you misunderstood my comment.
I’m suggesting to do away with the whole system that enables and encourages crimes like wage theft rather than focusing on individual symptoms of the system.
- Comment on Tesla is exiting consumer space because Self-Driving has hit the same fundamental limits as LLMs 6 days ago:
Onwards to the next grift!
- Comment on YSK: Wage theft is the biggest crime by annual losses 6 days ago:
I’m pretty sure taxes, company profit and land rent are much bigger numbers by many orders of magnitude.
This wage theft narrative normalises capitalism while quibbling over a relatively small amount.

Main character moment.
- Comment on New OS on ugreen DH4300 1 week ago:
My server is usually between 30w-40w (that’s about 20-25p per day electricity cost in the UK).
That’s with the aforementioned processor/ram,a Gigabyte A520M motherboard, 1 case fan, the stocker cooler, a 120gb 2.5" SSD, 2 4TB 3.5" HDDs and 1 8TB 3.5" HDD (all drives always spinning).
It’s running OpenMediaVault as OS and 5 docker containers 24/7 (Flatnotes, FreshRSS, Kavita, qBittorrent and RecipeSage). Other than that I use it for media access from a MiniPC running Debian w/ Kodi accessing it via SMB (the server doesn’t transcode).
- Comment on New OS on ugreen DH4300 1 week ago:
Looking at the price of that Ugreen DH4300 it’s about 30% more than I paid to build my own server (Ryzen 5 3400g /w 16gb ddr4). If you can get second hand ddr4 for a decent price it’ll probably still be a cheaper option and allows you to do your own maintenance/repairs in the future.
- Comment on Banning children from VPNs and social media will erode adults' privacy 1 week ago:
Yep, and “age verification” is just a euphemism for identity verification.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I’ll let you know… it was you who recommended it to me a couple of weeks ago!
- Comment on DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media 1 week ago:
I’d much rather have to find space for my server than for 1000s of Blu-rays/DVDs/CDs.
- Comment on UK fines Reddit $19 million for using children’s data unlawfully 1 week ago:
Yep, it’s essentially “give us some pocket change to stop us really doing something about it”.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
I’ve been playing Feng Shui Meowjong which is a roguelike deckbuilder based on Mahjong. Oh, and it has cats! Been waiting for it since playing the demo last year and it’s been pretty awesome.
Just bought Chrono Ark and Drop Duchy so along with my backlog that’ll keep me going a while.
I was playing The Witcher 3 but got kinda bored after about 40hrs.
- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 1 week ago:
More future patience… but Ys X Nordics.
Given the bullshit about releasing a better version of the game for full price just a year after the first release I’ll be waiting a long time until it’s on a decent sale price before I give them any money.
- Comment on How bad of an idea is it to use computing HDDs in a DIY NAS? 1 week ago:
I have Seagate Barracuda drives in my NAS because I didn’t know about CMR vs SMR before I bought them.
2 of them are backups, the other spins all the time. The bulk of my storage is video files with infrequent adding of new stuff. The active drive has qBittorrent seeding from it 24/7 so it can be a bit noisy.
Other than that, you’ll see lower transfer speeds from SMR drives but nothing to worry about if it’s small writes or infrequent copying of large video files. It also takes an age to run a long SMART self test - 18hrs on an 8TB HDD that is 75% full (this’ll get worse as it gets closer to full).
So SMR drives aren’t ideal but they’ll do the job. If you can, you’d be better buying refurbished enterprise drives but I have no idea what availability there’ll be where you are.
- Comment on Mini PC to replace fiber modem and wifi router. How to proceed? 2 weeks ago:
50w… holy shit!
My server with 1 SSD, 3 HDDs running multiple docker containers doesn’t usually pull more than 35-40w.
My router tops out at 8w and my wireless access point at 5w IIRC.
- Comment on Extreme wealth inequality is baked in to the system 2 weeks ago:
Theft is the reason for wealth inequality.
This article is unbelievably stupid and completely divorced from reality.
