Are the residents “evil” though? Seems like the virus turned them and they are just a little nibbly by nature

This is also one of the biggest reasons for me why i stopped hosting things for strangers. My country is insanely backwards with when it comes to internet law. For example Mastodon (and others) caches media and text-contents of posts from remote instances on your own server, you are now distributing - you don’t even need to directly follow someone who posts media (attachments) or even just links to a website thats hosts unlawful stuff and you’re on the hook and considered just as responsible as the original poster. Insanity.

“Not available in your region”

Sbcs are neat and raspi is still cool imo, i guess people just started to realise that mini x86s exist too and the recent releases with 6, 8, 12, cores are enticing to a group of people. Really depends on what you want to do, right tool for the right job etc

I wanted to start a community, including a matrix server for chatting, but public signups cause some “undesirables” to sign up and when I finally figured out what rooms they joined and what they were posting (unencrypted) I had to nope out of the whole project over night. They seem to scan the federated network for public instances with open registrations and then do shit like this. It’s a shame but the only community effort I could see myself doing in the future would need to be friend-to-friend networks or invite only or something like that…

I like it but sadly it’s going to be ruined by channers signing up and posting cp :(

I don’t know if I’m weird but I’ve always been careful to park scooters in a way that doesn’t hinder others. Also never thrown a scooter in a river or kicked them over and i don’t get people who have the desire to do something like that. Not trying to pat my own back by saying this but it seems to me that it is possible to have micro-rental scooter services and treat it in a way that doesn’t make it a nuisance or danger to others. Don’t take my scooters away just because some people don’t know how to behave. Like i don’t imagine banning cars universally (though reducing them and promoting foot traffic would be nice) because some people are bad drivers, instead they get policed and fined/thrown in jail. I’m probably thinking way too naive about it but i like using scooters to go short distances.

Sounds like a people problem

Thanks, subscribed :)

Oh fuck yes! I hope this works so badly (living the nightmare with crohns)

Valve has wrapped the banhammer in tinsel, adding a lovely Christmassy flavour to their anti-smurfing actions. Players who have been banned for smurfing are finding a Highly Toxic Lump of Coal in their accounts, a ‘Seasonal Reward’.

I played this so much back then, started off on an m100 and eventually got a Zire71 for Christmas. I still have my dads old Tungsten T|X on the shelve, the last/newest palm©️ device i held in my hand. Man that TX had issues with the built in wifi. It has a 50:50 (or worse) chance to crash and reboot the device any time you turn the wifi on (or off or received or send data), such a shame and apparently there was a “firmware fix” but all it did was reduce the chance of it crashing, never eliminated it. Still though, palm devices are awesome and i have a lot of good memories playing some space trader at night in bed, in glorious m100 monochrome.

Going door to door in fresh air is something else than sitting in a room with lots of other people and “you’ll be fine” is an insane argument. You’ll be fine until you aren’t. Every person should be able to make that risk assessment for themselves and courts should not be able to force someone to risk exposure to anything.

Bind9 is the industry standard [citation needed] nameserver. Takes a bit of time to get used to but it’s very powerful. To make a nameserver authoritative for a domain name you would change the NS records with your domain provider, often they have an easy to change option in the web interface, and create a master zone with your desired records for that domain. NS records can only point to IPs though so if you have a dynamic home IP it will be difficult to stay reachable since TLD NS records usually have a long cache time. Some providers may also require you to provide at least 2 nameservers (for redundancy) as that’s what’s in the spec.

Anyways

Thanks!!

I think the poll is kind of pointless. Ask a gamer to pick between discord or matrix and discord will always win. Discord has been oriented towards gamers since its inception while Matrix provides a very specific niche of communications infrastructure that in no way integrates gamers except by virtue of being a chat platform. Matrix is objectively the better protocol if you’re interested in safe, decentralised communication. Discord on the other hand has more features that gamers use. Different use cases, different expectations, different solutions 🤷‍♀️

There’s no reason the matrix people (or some third party) couldn’t build a product that’s just like discord but bigger, better, etc, with the best of both worlds. But nobody has done it yet and it may take a long time until we get there.

“I’m only asking because, you know, my wife is crazy about this stuff, history i mean. I don’t really give a damn being a white man. You know how it is, she can go on and on about human rights and … what’s that? Oh yes I’m sure a person of your stature would not be involved in something as slimy as genocide. 🛎️ Oh just one more thing, i noticed you have this bow and arrow in your log cabin, fine piece of craftsmanship if i may say so myself, where did you get it again?”

Etc

Maybe tag GianniMatragrano nicely enough and he’ll make a short clip about it :)

I think the issue started with gpu-architecture tailored technologies like physx or gameworks but im probably wrong. For example I have nothing against physx but it only runs on nvidia cores natively (fast), i have an issue when there’s a monetary incentive or exclusive partnering of nvidia and game studios - so if you want to play the game with all the features, bells and whistles, it was designed with you would need to also buy their overpriced (and current gen: underperforming) gpus just because you’d be missing out on features or performance on any other gpu architecture.

If this trend continues everybody will need a €1k+ gpu from nvidia and a €1k+ gpu from AMD and hot-swap between them depending on what game you wish to play.
