Latecoere , to retrogaming in I find there are some retro titles that have been eclipsed by their sequels, what are some that hold up better than their later iterations in your opinion.
@Latecoere@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

Doom 1 and 2. The 2016 reboot and Eternal just don’t do it for me. And I just pretend 3 never happened.

This was an absolute gem. I don’t have much of substance to add just now (except that those dress uniforms are very nice), but after being on the whole disappointed by the season opener I am extremely pleased with this episode. Definitely one of the strongest in the show so far, which is no small feat.

fell , to piracy in Is a VPN necessary for torrenting?
@fell@ma.fellr.net avatar

@Alextheacceptable In Germany, there are lawyers specialised on torrents. They collect German IPs from the peers list and mass-sue them over distributing copyrighted material. They always ask for a settlement payment of more than 5000€. It can usually be escaped by taking it to court, but I recommend not going through that.

So, depends on your location. Over here, download one movie without a VPN and you have a shit ton of legal crap coming your way.

Makes me think... if you exclusively use IPv6 you might be fine because they can't geolocate you that easily 🤔

SolOrion ,

Would that really matter, though? Afaik, they could still just… ask your ISP who that IP was assigned to, which is what they’re going to do with IPv4 anyways.

fell ,
@fell@ma.fellr.net avatar

@SolOrion They don't deal with ISPs outside the country, because they can't sue them at a German court.

So they need to know it's a German ISP beforehand so they can request personal information accordingly. But maybe they could still figure it out from IPv6 address ranges... I'm not entirely sure.

the1HOknocks ,

Yes you can do that easiely with a ripe whois query. And they definitely do.

curiosityLynx , to nostupidquestions in Are there universal words, and what are they?

There is not a single word that's universal to all languages.

  1. Even if there had ever been one at some point, there are languages that have/had word retirement as part of the culture speaking it: If a word is used as someone's name and that person dies, that word is now taboo and a new word is needed to refer to what the old word stood for.
  2. Conlanging, especially by laypeople, often explicitly makes up most or all of its vocabulary from scratch or uses cyphers to make the connection invisible. I wouldn't be surprised if a people made up their own secret language from scratch, maybe initially with very similar grammar, that developed into a native language for a community.
  3. Have you heard of Cockney rhyming slang? Take a word like "fart", use a two part word that rhymes with it, like "raspberry tart", then drop the rhyming part. That leaves you with "raspberry" meaning "fart" and no discernible connection to the old words this utterance/meaning pair came from.
  4. Sign languages are languages as well, and in multiple instances developed from the ground up without influence from the surrounding spoken languages.

I really enjoyed it. Star Trek is at its strongest when it gives itself time to mull over philosophical, ethical, and social issues. This episode really knocked it out of the park. Just really well-written overall.

We haven’t seen a courtroom episode in such a long time. I really liked it, it felt so much like ‘classic Trek’.

@ashlie@kbin.social avatar

I personally wouldn't take the chance. Mullvad is €5 a month, and is worth it to me. My ISP completely shut off my service before ever giving me a notification. I had to completely restart service after going full Karen and blaming it on "my kids." I would do a few searches and find posts or info relevant to your area or ISP.

@xenos@kbin.social avatar

+1 for Mullvad! They were raided with a search warrant by Swedish Police who ended up leaving empty handed because the customer data they wanted simply does not exist

How's the speed on Mullvad? I have gigabit currently and don't really want to compromise the speed of my connection

Pulp ,

Incredibly good. You will probably lose like 100mbps compared to without, at 1gbps.

alphafalcon ,

Mullvad stopped providing port forwards, so they’re not ideal for torrenting anymore. They were great before.

Pulp ,

But barely anyone else provides it too. Proton has it kind of but the amount of servers are restricted so yeah great higher ping/slower speeds depending on where you are from

birdy , to startrek in Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x02 "Ad Astra Per Aspera"

This was a fantastic episode. One thing I liked in particular was that they had an actual lawyer defend Una, and not just have Pike do it.

ValueSubtracted OP ,
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

They kept the tradition alive by having a starship captain handle the prosecution, though.

maegul ,

But in contrast, this lawyer (Neera) won by mainly by being a good lawyer (albeit in a tv legal drama kind of way). Setting things on fire with the first witness to create a bunch of fog and doubt about the premise of the case, realising that other important regulations impinge on the case and setting up testimony to substantiate the effect of those regulations.

My memory of most other officer-lawyers is that their methods tend to focus more on the moral “issyew” (Picard’s pronunciation of “issue” in Measure of a Man).

barsoap ,

“issyew”

/ˈɪsjuː/ is very common in RP. You hear it all the time in parliament.

crazycanadianloon ,

Oh yeah, an actual lawyer and one who was not assigned by Starfleet. Una was also spot on with her complaint that her original counsel was paid by those prosecuting her. 👏

NewNewAccount , to retrogaming in Does anyone remember the Neo-Geo?

Many fond memories of MVS cabinets being commonplace in the 90s. Lots of hours playing Metal Slug and Bubble Bobble.

Never saw an AES system in person.

I put many a quarter in my local Pizza Hut's MVS in the 90s. Back then the pizza was good, too!

I think this user is looking for others with multiple personalities (plurals). Just a guess though. I don’t know why they posted here, but it IS a question…

JunctionSystem OP ,

Just: Accurate.

Cat: As for why here, there isn’t a counterpart to r/plural yet.

TragicNotCute ,
@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world avatar

Makes sense. I’d encourage you to be the change you want to see. Make a plural community and I suspect like minded folks will come. Good luck!

JunctionSystem OP ,

Cat: Hah, running a Discord server’s more than enough modding for us. Absolutely no interest in modding a Lemmy community on top of that.

TragicNotCute ,
@TragicNotCute@lemmy.world avatar

For what it’s worth, my community has required no modding so far. Just a group of likeminded individuals chatting. Do what works for you though.

How did you hack your brain to do this, and why did you intentionally give yourself DID?

JunctionSystem OP ,

Just: Not DID; we lack the disordered aspects of that condition.

Just: As for the how? Just intentionally address internal speech at a specific person for long enough, and eventually they start talking back.

Just: Why can be summed up in two words: Quarantine loneliness.

cats ,
@cats@lemmy.world avatar

Alright, cool dudes. As a sufferer of DID, I’m glad you don’t deal with the disorder part.

JunctionSystem OP ,

Cat: waves

emeraldheart ,

This is really fascinating. The brain is truly such a complex tool that we can do so much with. I appreciate you sharing your story/stories with us. The brain hacking reminds me of how others can hack their brain to lucid dream. What you are doing sounds even more complex than that, however.

Would be curious to hear more detail on your method, should you choose to share it.

JunctionSystem OP ,

Cat: Sure? But in the morning, we’re sleepy rn.

ParticleUs , to sysadmin in How do you guys feel about pulseway?

We tested out Pulseway a while back but weren’t confident in it’s patching process. We ended up using Action1 because of the price and the simplicity of it. They have a good community on discord that’s always helpful and they’re consistently adding new features. The also host weekly webinars (usually about patching) to help to get up and running.

I guess RMM is a broad term though, cuz I’m not sure about the VPN to AD situation you’re talking about. Are you hosting Pulseway on your own server?

AFAIK Action1 is only cloud-based right now, just install the agent and go. You can also set up a service account on your DC and use their deployer to auto install the agent on domain devices.

possiblylinux127 OP ,

I’ve been testing it as well and you may be right

LUHG_HANI ,
@LUHG_HANI@lemmy.world avatar

Action 1 has been a godsend to me. I tried a few paid rmm suites and they either failed or just had so much bulk it was a minefield.

PixxlMan , to youshouldknow in YSK a free, lightweight alternative to Spotify

Adverts like this post shouldn’t be a think in “YSK”. It makes no sense.

This app is literally just music piracy in a fancy shell anyways. Since there’s no YouTube ads displayed, artists get nothing. Think Spotify is bad at paying artists? Try… piracy…?

To be honest, the only thing that holds me back to delete my reddit profile is the DH subredit. If you can find a way to move away from Reddit that would be great! At least keep up the boycott for sure!
