Am American. Our politics are currently one giant shit post.
Also, there are no rules against shit posting about international politics. So,
fireflush away. - Comment on Watch me go Reddit 5 days ago:
There are some subreddits that I miss but there’s also usually a lot less bullshit here. The giant “fuck you” to third party app developers was the last straw for me. I wasn’t even in that group but that pretty much told me where reddit was heading and I wasn’t willing to go along with it. But, there’s probably quite a few people here who still use Reddit. Either way, welcome!

I forgot my money even had those dishes.
- Comment on Don't you hate it when you delve too greedily and too deep, and the toilet paper tears? 5 days ago:
Nope. They get screened out by a trash filter at the sewage treatment plant and then find their way into the landfill. Unfortunately, they frequently fail to make it to the plant and cause some nasty clogs.
If you have a septic tank in your back yard like I do, then you’re just playing a $25,000 game of Russian roulette.
It does not matter how big it says so on the package. “Flushable” wipes are NOT flushable.
- Comment on Knows more than most scientists… according to one extremely reliable source: themselves 6 days ago:
Reminds me of my neighbors complaining some websites had “liberal views” on vaccines.
I didn’t even bother to ask what that meant because the phrase itself was so stupid. I just knew the explanation was going to be even stupider.

- Comment on Is self-hosting becoming too gatekept by power users? 1 week ago:
Self hosting is a great opportunity to learn about some popular technologies and even acquire a few sysadmin skills. Required knowledge of a self-hosted solutions tech stack is not gatekeeping any more than required knowledge of tools and building materials is gatekeeping when it comes to renovating your bathroom. In either scenario, if you don’t know what you’re doing, it’s going to be a much more difficult job.

That said, you should not be exposing any of your service to the public if you don’t know what you’re doing. That’s a quick way to a bad time.

Land.
- Comment on Bad people and bullies usually have justified reasons for why they are doing bad things, so instead of blaming them, maybe sympathize with them. 2 weeks ago:
I grew up in a family with a cycle of abuse.
I now understand why my dad was as angry and violent as he was. It honestly made me feel sorry for him and made it easier to forgive him. But in no way did it excuse or justify his actions. What he did was still wrong.
- Comment on Protip: Don't lose count 2 weeks ago:
Pro Tip:
If you ever find yourself in the position of having a pistol shoved in your face and you cannot safely escape, it is possible to disarm your assailant.
Quickly grab the wrist or forearm of the hand holding the weapon with one hand and grab the weapon’s muzzle with your other hand. While directing the weapon away from your body, push down on the muzzle like a lever. Your assailant will not be able to maintain their grip on the weapon. Be prepared for the to discharge because it probably will. If you decide to attempt this maneuver, DO NOT hesitate or you will probably get shot.

- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
I use Proxmox for Work and Hyper-V at home. Looking forward to retiring my old Hyper-V host and replace it with Proxmox because Hyper-V is a pain.
Virtualization really helps with reliability. In particular, by allowing you to quickly take snapshots before doing anything destructive and by streamlining backup and recovery.
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds 3 weeks ago:
A long time ago, for whatever reason, I decided to do a port scan on my entire WAN subnet. That’s how I discovered that a certain brand of DSL modem (I don’t recall which) made the admin portal accessible from the WAN. And of course the credentials were admin/admin.
I think most hardware providers do better now but it was just mind boggling to me that it even happened in the first place.
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning top-selling home routers on security grounds 3 weeks ago:
With TP-Link, I would say the bigger concern is that they are reeaaaalllyyy slow to patch vulnerabilities, if they do it at all.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
I had a Zune. It was a phenomenal product. It was just priced too high and trying to compete in a market flooded with cheap MP3 players.
I think the video player functionality wasn’t as big a selling point as they thought it would be to the average user since you either had to purchase films from the store …or acquire them in other ways and convert them to a supported file format.

I would not buy them here or there. I would not buy them anywhere. I do not like appliances with ads. I do not like them Sam-I-Am.
- Comment on Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate jobs in response to pandemic overhiring 3 weeks ago:
If you’re leading an organization that somehow managed to “overhire” 30k employees, then the first person to hit the bricks should be you because you really suck at your job.
- Comment on ICarly "IKiss" episode was an allegory about being a virgin 3 weeks ago:
First off, I wouldn’t take anything from a junior high level sitcom seriously.
Second, no one cares if you’re a virgin. And if they do care, their opinion on the subject is irrelevant.
Stop worrying about it.
- Comment on It's just a fancy new name for a lobotomy 4 weeks ago:
I think some ENT’s like to downplay the severity. I was told “we’ll do it on Friday and you’ll be back to work on Monday” which was completely unrealistic.
Recovery time is more like 7-10 days.

They didn’t put you under for that?? God Almighty. My septiplasty was brutal but successful so it was worth it for me. At least they had the decency to knowxi me out for it.

- Comment on OpenAI will allow mature content, including erotica, to verified adult users as of December 4 weeks ago:
It’s pretty hard to find a kid that doesn’t have Snapchat anymore. Basically being trained to hand over all their personal info to random strangers as soon as they’re able to hold a cell phone.
And of course they hide the read messages for the end user to provide the illusion that it’s “deleted” which I have to admit is brilliant. Extremely unethical but brilliant.
