  I highly doubt the car fired any shots.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I do backups with a Raspberry Pi with a 1TB SD card and leave it on all the time. The power draw is very small and I think reasonable for the value of offsite backups.

  My personal experience with WOL (or anything related to power state of computers) is that it’s not reliable enough for something offsite. If you can set something up that’s stable, awesome, but if your backup server is down and you need to travel to it, that suuuucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where can I be explicit and dirty on Lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The question as asked: you can do it anywhere. Right here. In worldnews. Lemmyshitpost. Gardening. Whatever.

  But I think you’re asking: where can I say whatever I want without consequences?

  And that’s harder. Because if you have the right to subject other people to your opinions, that gives them the right to subject you to their opinions.

  If you want to avoid being banned, create your own community. If you want to avoid your community being nuked by admins, create your own Lemmy instance. If you want a safe space for yourself, free from criticism about what you say, don’t federate your instance. You will be safe and able to howl into the wind without anyone troubling you.

  Lester (the croc) on a molester.

  “So what was the problem in the end?”

  “Man, I don’t fucking know.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what they spent paying people to implement and communicate this change.

  At 600k for a company that size this cost them more money than just paying the extra 4 cents.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨G GG⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also g gg if you’re feeling frisky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨suckadickf@ggots⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You drew it backwards and your fire went out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CF doing the world a solid...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It stinks!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨open source is a cult but it doesn't have to be⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Please don’t test your hobby LLMs in production.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨so every shitpost sub is going to be swamped by American politics? please can politics be banned⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Waddaya mean “or”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Become unrecognizable⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  14.1 would be ideal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: ‘hasten the coming of Christ’s return’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wandering the desert?

  Nay, vibe travelling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t release their methods, so I can’t be sure that most of those aren’t just frustrated users telling the LLM to go kill itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping that MFer on its toes⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I always think of this when someone tells me to water my plants regularly and not always let them dry out and subsequently overwater the shit out of them to compensate.

  No, motherfucker, we live in uncertain times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That game is too memorable. I tried replaying it a while back after not touching it in 15 years.

  Five minutes in and nope, this whole story is seared into my long term memory and there’s nothing fresh yet.

  I’ll try again when I’m 80.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Half my visits to Wikipedia are because I need to copy and paste a Unicode character and that’s always the highest search result with a page I can easily copy and paste the exact character from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They have (had?) a fairly generous free tier that works well for people starting out.

  I ended up buying a license after evaluation because the UI provides everything I reasonably want to do, it’s fundamentally a Linux server so I can change things I need, and it requires virtually zero fucking around to get started and keep running.

  I guess the short answer is: it ticks a lot of boxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea what this is about⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They could have just not had the monkeys. They added nothing to the story and were the most egregiously bad CGI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You mean there's a better way‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t they teach this shit in school?!?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insuranace is a joke⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can appeal a total loss settlement. They’re supposed to take into account the cost to replace the car at local rates, so unless that 16k model you’re looking at is in dramatically better condition or has way way less mileage on it, they need to justify that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backup recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I set up Syncthing using the docker image from the Unraid “store” and it works great.

  I’m not in love with the clients (especially Windows) but it seems to work pretty well once your setup is stable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How should everything be routed?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  White cables also transmit slower in the dark. As soon as the cabinet is closed the data is going to slow way down with only the dim glow of the LEDs of the equipment acting to accelerate packets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨paint job⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the red graffiti saga

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you spin me right round baby right round...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what ICD code they used for billing…

  www.healthcaredive.com/news/…/285737/

  I used to work at a company that made software related to this and we always had fun finding ridiculous codes for testing internally. I think there was an actual code defined for someone being hit in the head by a turtle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨beans 🫘⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The little discussed Pythagorean Wild Conjecture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing I hate most about rsync is that I always fumble to get the right syntax and flags.

  This is a problem because once it’s working I never have to touch it ever again because it just works and keeping working. There’s not enough time to memorize the usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine spending so much time and money on games and always looking completely fucking miserable the entire time. They all have the same expression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JFC, who did this?!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite bit of trivia from that movie was that Stephen King watched it and was furious by the ending because he wished he’d thought of such a grim ending when he wrote the book.

  You could just do anal preorders and never fulfill them.
