  Thanks, I hate it

  Thanks, Satan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I present: Managarr - A TUI and CLI to help you manage your Servarr instances⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can use any port for ssh. When I switched from 22 to 1337, brute force attempts at logging in stopped

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coming on Lemmy and complaining because there are too many Linux users is like going in to a brothel and complaining that there are too many hookers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the other hand, my only remaining Windows machine routinely bluescreens with 0xDEADDEAD, which is never supposed to happen (it’s a test code, for a deliberately initiated crash).

  I think the last time I got a kernel panic on a Linux machine was 2011, and it was an mp3 player that was definitely not designed to run Linux.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The people marketing it have absolutely no understanding of what they’re selling.

  Has it ever been any different? Like, I’m not in tech, I build signs for a living, and the people selling our signs have no idea what they’re selling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X Payments delayed after Musk’s X weirdly withdrew application for NY license⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How involved was he in the making of any company he’s ‘involvwd’ in?

  As a general rule, not very. Musk doesn’t create shit, he buys shit then profits off of other people’s work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK about Darkpatterns.games, a website that rates mobile games on their "Dark patterns"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played Golf and Goblins, it’s a typical idle skinner box; these companies hire the same people casinos do, to design their games to be addictive. It is a gambling addiction, same as if it were actual slot machines

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK that United has significantly escalated their war against basic economy passengers⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes Image

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3001: Temperature Scales⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  0 is an extremely cold winter

  Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If a planet was completely covered in water, wouldn't it all be freshwater?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In freeze desalination, the initial ice crystals before it freezes solid are pure water; you mostly freeze a volume of saltwater into slush, strain out the ice, and discard the liquid (which will be bribe; higher in salt than your initial water).

  Probably not super efficient, and probably needs multiple steps, but I dunno. Somewhere where the ambient temperature is below freezing, but geothermal is available, it could work at scale, but if you have to refrigerate, you’re probably better off with regular distillation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Proud globohomo⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And that’s just science; think of all the actual conspiracies that actually happened. MKULTRA is perfect conspiracy theorist material and actually real, but that second part means it’s boring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine graphics is crazy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Same thing as athlete’s foot, just, well, crotch instead of feet. It’s fungal, and usually spread by communal showers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ukraine graphics is crazy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You should change your socks before your underwear to prevent jock itch

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨X's controversial changes to blocking and AI training saw half a million users leave for rival Bluesky in just a single day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  dunno what Twitter is doing with all those H100s Elon hoarded

  Duh. Mining crypto.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10001⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a matter of convention, not technical definition. A byte can be any number of bits, depending on hardware. For a while 6 bit bytes were common. RFC 791 refers to an 8 bit byte as an octet

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nobel Prize 2024⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still waiting for the full-planet weather model. That will be something.

  That’s going to be a hard one, given that past weather patterns are increasingly not predictive of future weather patterns, because something keeps dumping CO2 into the atmosphere and raising the global temperature

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No further questions your honour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  God dammit I hadn’t even realized it was you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No further questions your honour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well fuck, I’ve been out-pedanted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No further questions your honour⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no such thing as ‘a Bigfoot’.

  Bigfoot is a proper noun, if you saw him, you didn’t see a bigfoot, you saw the Bigfoot. But more likely it was some lesser Sasquatch.

  My guess was either regional or OS; I’m in Canada, running Android

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US couple blocked from suing Uber after crash say daughter agreed to Uber Eats terms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not on my phone

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, if it’s English-language, it’s probably American unless otherwise noted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men Harassed A Woman In A Driverless Waymo, Trapping Her In Traffic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah yes, drivers are self-centered for checks notes not wanting pedestrians to be hit by self-driving cars

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  160 mods representing all subreddits? Yeah that’s entirely power mods who would tow the line

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  it only works via USB and only has one button and an on/off switch, but it works when needed

  That’s ideal; the less connected it is, the less chance I’ll have to shoot it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[Tom Warren] The PS5 Pro still hasn’t sold out in the US or UK. Looks like the $700 price point will mean this console will be readily available this holiday⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You could, but you wouldn’t

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It would become public around 20-30 years later, if the contra program is any indication

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If Trump loses the election and flees to another country to avoid his sentencing in his (multiple) lawsuits, does the Secret Service have to go with him?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But that would make it pretty obvious that he’s planning on fleeing.

  As if that would be the first hint

  Sleptons just sound lazy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End nuclear fusion!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not exclusively, hydrogen being lighter and cheaper meant it was still sometimes used when helium could have been.
