- Comment on When building a home server, could a used/cheap PC do the job? 5 weeks ago:
Anything you need to buy is more expensive than anything you already have.
Especially if youre worried about power costs.
Reuse wha you have, replace when you need to.
- Comment on What host names do you use? 1 month ago:
Mine are all named for the colour of the case, or case accent when ambiguous, though network infrastructure items are named for their models, being the typical default.
I sometimes use A records or mDNS-SD for the actual services provided and use a
*.home.arpa.domain.Another theme at another site is native fauna and flora names.
No cringe, no pop culture.

Oh yeah.
The night dive remake of System Shock was awesome.
I played the original as a kid and it was just too hard. I also played SS2 and completed that: my gods that was a terrifying game.
I can’t wait.

Bread and circuses.

Because this monopoly doesn’t directly affect them in a way that’s obvious to them.
- Comment on Huge win for Internet freedom: Google must sell its Chrome browser 4 months ago:
Decisions by people who don’t understand, advised by people who don’t want them to understand, funded by people who are prepared to sacrifice a browser to appear like they’re doing something.

It more that there’s a grift happening. What’s the odds that theres a tenuous conflict of interest here with the various business and executives concerned? It’s a small cub and everyone scratches each other backs.

It’s still a prestige brand in the eyes of the masses. It might not be as good t brag about den at the country club but letting the plebs know that you can afford a car that costs more than their house still has value.

Somewhere in Jaguar HQ, a marketing firm convinced the CxO suite that the most pressing problem facing the company was that the logo was wrong. So, in the interests of the shareholders they write off the goodwill value of the existing brand and dump millions of euro into this.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 5 months ago:
Obviously the plural of foot is feet, so the plural of book should be beek.
Or one sheep should be a shoop.
There’s also the English Vowel Shift. Which means words either side of it are inconsistent.

- Comment on Reporters Without Borders sues X 5 months ago:
It’s correct, as much as any English is correct, but not typically spoken naturally like that.
The press (newspapers) has an idiosyncratic grammar, probably born of maximising space in a newspaper column. Headlines are often grammatical nightmares, body copy less so.
One could think of it as a form of semantic compression.
