How often are you people screwing things up so badly that your servers aren’t reachable over the network and require keyboard/monitor access? This is basically only ever once for me for the initial OS install, and even then that can be automated away if I had to do it more than once every couple years

If anything I would expect vpn exit points to be located in higher density areas where presumably internet connectivity is cheaper, and higher density areas tend to be more liberal

The streamers on twitch control how many ads you see. If it’s a huge amount, they opted into that. They get a small cut of the ad revenue

I think even more horrifying is that more people voted for Trump in 2020 than in 2016

Notice the footnote on every TSA webpage that their officers can always change the rules on the spot if they feel like it. So it’s always a gamble.

The big artists don’t fight this because they make more money under the status quo, and Ticketmaster takes all the heat and they can play victim while raking in the cash.

I hate the YouTube clickbait style thumbnails, I’m not watching the video out of principle

Funny, this article was directly above in my feed:

220TB in 10 years on a 250GB disk means you are doing the equivalent of rewriting the entire disk every 4 days or so for 10 years

Dreamquest was the original roguelike deck builder, and it had a lot of depth that you wouldn’t expect from its shitty art, I think it’s still worth playing. One of those games that seems extremely difficult until you learn the strategy, it is amazingly well balanced, small mistakes are the difference between win and loss

SpellRogue was fun for a bit but not sure it has staying power the way StS does.

The data on your console is just a url address that points at a Nintendo server. That server is going offline. So if we don’t get the url before it goes offline, we can’t download the url.

Home Assistant hates it if you install anything else on your server besides Home Assistant. Don’t even think about running other docker containers besides HA or you’ll get persistent nags and it’ll prevent you from updating without doing workarounds

You’re overthinking this a bit, the whole point of the matrix is that our reality is fake. Making someone believe they are in the matrix is to make them question their perception of reality. Making someone question their perception of reality is gaslighting.

Gaslighting is a colloquialism, loosely defined as manipulating someone into questioning their own perception of reality.

Sounds like making someone believe they are in the matrix fits this perfectly but I’m no englishmatologist

For anyone who didn’t read more than the title, this is talking about seeing things long after the drugs have worn off

I don’t care about it, but 162 million people watched it last year 🤷

Downvoted out of principle for the ridiculous clickbait YouTube title/thumbnail. I can’t stand them, and I don’t care that it helps them get more engagement with the algorithm, the algorithm sucks.

I’ve stopped reporting obvious scams / spam on instagram because something like 19 out of 20 reports get ignored or denied

PCIe 2 x4 is the same speed as PCIe 3 x2, no?

I also only use the fb mobile web app, but for years they regularly break things, I assume it’s on purpose to get people to install their shady app
