Good rant, bad friend. Not actually a friend, that sounds like a narcissitst that wants you around only when they need attention.

The Pluto one I finally understand, a science show pointed it that more recently there were 100s of other Pluto sized objects orbiting our sun, so they either had to add 100s more to match Pluto status, or demote Pluto to planetoid to avoid all the others getting status.
- Comment on These people were EVIL in my honest opinion. 1 week ago:
Yeah those types of people are at their worst when they feel rejected. Hopefully you have found a good Lemmy Anime group instead. So far Lemmy is a lot more chill than reddit.

There are always weird people online, unfortunately you found some. Them accusing you of what they did is juvenile behaviors.
- Comment on Is it just me or are people on Quora really rude? 2 weeks ago:
My thought is well adjusted, happy people, dont have time for trolling nonsense. While those types you mention have all day (no life) to dish out negativity on a site they think makes them look smart.
- Comment on I pissed myself off in the shower. No, not in that way. 1 month ago:
There was a graph posted past month. Compared a lot of things including trans, and basically was how many trans people % in population vs how much people think there is an issue. I’m paraphrasing and guessing at the numbers since I don’t gave it handy. But say trans is 0.1% conservatives beleive it is affecting 30% of people, so it is a huge problem needing to be squashed.
As for the mental illness part, that should only be between their doctors and them, and nobody else gets an opinion and what happens. The medical community has a role to play in not harming a person who might be suffering mental condition clouding sane judgement.
For example there is that brain disorder where a person controls their limb normally (not alien hand syndrome) but they believe the limb is not their own, because the brain isn’t registering it as belonging to its own body. This can be from a damaged brain, parapysis issue or a delusion. In each case it causes patient distress. Can the root of the feeling be fixed? If not and patient asks for an amputation, do you perform that? Tough questions only the doctors and patient can work out, the rest of conservative society needs to keep their nose out of it.

- Comment on Weird Proxmox NAS ZFS glitch?? 2 months ago:
I had something similar happen with a DVD iso. It would not copy across network, and cpu would skyrocket if I put it on drive another way. For mine it turned out to be the tracker-miner getting hung up on the content indexing. Specifically it was a DVD with a prank menu option. The menu option was “Break my player” which if you chose it would totally lock the DVD player and only fix was unplugging it for a hard power cycle. Somehow whatever code did that was messing with the content indexer

- Comment on Does setting/reserving a static IP via router prevent its allocation to other devices in its network? 4 months ago:
I have never had issues with anu router when setting static inside dhcp range. Adding IP and MAC has always worked. Not saying you won’t have issues, just I haven’t yet

- Comment on I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x 5 months ago:
Yeah here dollar store purchases are final sale, no returns, and aliexpress really depends on the seller. Some good stuff there, some just scammy junk. And many manufacturers will skimp on purpose, and say they are certified without actually getting a certification or testing.
- Comment on I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x 5 months ago:
Dollar store and Aliexpress make it a bit difficult to return LOL.
- Comment on I spent ~$35 on new cables and my LAN speed increased 6x 5 months ago:
Not all cat 5e is created equal…you can buy a good cat5e from a reputable supplier or a super shit one at the dollar store…they just stamp 5e on it even if it is under sized wire and not actually been tested to work

It just means .internal won’t be relayed out on the internet, as it will be reserved for local only.
- Comment on When people say two things "cannot be compared", they had to compare them to come to this conclusion. Are 'dissimilar' or 'unequal' better words? 6 months ago:
You repeat exactly what you quoted me on…you need context to compare
- Comment on When people say two things "cannot be compared", they had to compare them to come to this conclusion. Are 'dissimilar' or 'unequal' better words? 6 months ago:
I see it as more like : these thinga are too dissimilar to be compared meaningfully. Like if some article says which is the best tool? And they give you a rake, a network router, and a nailgun. Then you meed context. You can make a matrix of differences and similarities but depends what you are trying to compare. Comparing could be: All are durable, All save time on tasks, All can break with misuse.
But can also be nailgun and router is bad for raking leaves. - Comment on Do you poweroff your server during night / unused times? 6 months ago:
Nope always on. Also runs homeaasiatant so if it was off I would lose the schedule use for lights, or phone connection for on/off etc. But yes, get a UPS, even ifvyou haven’t had a power faikure a good UPS will monitor and correct voltage amd dirty power. It has saved me a couple of times.

In Britsh Columbia, Canada we get 5 Personal Emergency days as paid leave, and 3 PEL unpaid. For somebody in generally good health this is more than adequate, for somebody with health issues you would have to go to doc and get short term disability leave for extended days off
- Comment on Work from home 6 months ago:
Paying for commute time for regular workers is not going to happen, for many many decades you getting to work is your own issue…thus why we find a place near highway access or near transit. asking a company to pay travel means they will just hire somebody that lives close by
- Comment on Work from home 6 months ago:
Same, my manager contacts me a handful of times throughout the year, the rest of the time he trusts I’m doing what I am tasked to do. We had a company wide meeting at head office requiring travel for everyone, the schedule was on my kid’s birthday. I conveyed that I would be missing the bday, and they shifted meeting a few days to accommodate. Not all corporations are heartless slave drivers

I have 2 of these. One gives perfect results, one seems to drop off after lots of data transfer. They look alnoat identical, but one is name brand and ine ia probaboy a cheap chinese copy. Wiring is probably sub-par
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 7 months ago:
They are stupid, but helped inventors recoup development costs. It gets abused now, especially with patent trolls. The invention here moved TP from a roll you had to cut or tear, to self tearing segments with enough attached at center that it pulled roll forward…smart at the time…we take this idea of perforated sheets for granted now
- Comment on I will not be taking questions. 7 months ago:
The patent was the tp roll but more so the angular serations that terminate short of the center, so a tearable roll of paper rather than a strip role that had to be torn manually or cut
