Interesting to see how dead the MMORPG genre has become. Are there still players around?
Mostly referring to the release of the latest WoW extension which isn’t discussed anywhere (or maybe I missed it)

Jesus could have been an antique meme à la Chuck Norris that got waaaay out of hand
All we have are scriptures and texts that could have been a series of meme that built/improved from eachother but lost the common knowledge between the generations that it was fictional.

Data HDD with SSD catch drive
After upgrading my internet connection I immediatelly noticed that my HDD tops 40 MB/s and bottlnecking download speed in qbittorrent.

RuneScape is increasing their membership price by 50%, and Reddit is trying to censor it
Runescape is jacking up their subscription prices next month, going from like 12 bucks to 14 bucks a month. The increases range from 20% to 56% in price depending on currency. Players are PISSED about it especially since the company got bought out by some investment firm earlier this year, and they see it as a shameless cash...
I think I am socially ostrasized, what should I do?
Hello. For context, I am in a university. I do not have any friends, and it feels like colleagues talk bad about me. This makes me quite hesitant to join any circles or attend seminars. I am not sure it is everyone who thinks bad about me though, I fear about asking. Yet I plan to do research, so I should attend seminars to...
Chromecast / Firestick Self Host Replacement

This Google Photos popup
It appears every few times I open the app and the usual android back button doesn’t make it go away, and there is no cancel button. What you have to do is toggle the toggle, then the button will change to “do not back up” and then you can press it. It annoys me how easy this makes it to accidentally turn on backup.
If Russia takes out all the Internet cables like the news is saying. How much of that traffic can be re-routed to satellite?

[discussion] DC (direct current) power network
As we all know, AC won the “War of the Currents”. The reasoning behind this is that AC voltage is easy to convert up/down with just a ring of iron and two coils. And high voltage allows us to transport current over longer distances, with less loss....

Matrix let-down
I’ve been trying to use Matrix to replace sites like Discord or Slack. But it seems that if a user creates an invitation-only room in a server, then invited users who are registered on other servers get errors when trying to join. Not very useful error messages either: “Failed to join room”. (In my case, I tried creating...
