If i could show you the amount of awful 5 gallon bucket, recycled tygon and aquarium equipment “water cooling” loops i used to use for shit, you’d probably piss your pants laughing.

Why do the vast majority of romantic comedies depict people who are wealthy?

My wife has been on a rom-com binge over the last year or so and something I’ve noticed when I’m vaguely paying attention or walking past is that almost every single rom-com features people who are, at the very least, middle to upper-middle class. These characters all live in gigantic houses/apartments, have beautifully...

I think it’s even worse: It’s just shit writing.

And have been passed on to the consumer in doing so.

Is it practically impossible for a newcomer selfhost without using centralised services, and get DDOSed or hacked?

I understand that people enter the world of self hosting for various reasons. I am trying to dip my toes in this ocean to try and get away from privacy-offending centralised services such as Google, Cloudflare, AWS, etc....

Bakkoda ,

That’s not a bug, that’s a feature!

Bakkoda ,

Oddly enough i removed the one on my server because moving any cords plugged into the mobo caused the shield reset the computer.

They violated ToS. I get what you are saying but the scale can be massive and while i also don’t agree with Plex’s course of action at all, they pushed back in the face of tos breaches.

Bakkoda ,

Anyone (still) running Plex chose to use a service that relies on a 3rd party. They agreed to their ToS. They agreed to the service model.

I run Plex and am fully aware at anytime they could F me in the A and I’d have no one to blame but myself. I don’t agree with their actions at all, in any way but it’s their software and they can do what they want with it.

Bakkoda ,

This is a complaint. It’s not fact.

It probably doesn’t happen too often… Right?

It’s dat dem dere one of dem market corrections acomin?

And proper neck immobilization. Bungie cords ARE NOT adequate. Please use load rated ratchet straps.

I passed my igpu through and honestly found almost no speed benefit after the initial import. So i removed it.

It’s from an old game

Just run a cron job updating your IP every 24 hours. All I’ve ever done for the last decade or so.

I should clarify, I use namecheap as my registrar and Afraid as my nameserver. Afraid has curl, cron and even just a url i think you can use to update your IP.

Bakkoda ,

Yeah thank you. There’s a ton of ways to “hold” the money legally so Apple can still be separated from some of its money.

People always forget about the positrons and nega… tivtrons…

Usually first to market work generics enjoys a year of exclusivity. Usually other companies abandon our back burnera project they don’t make to market first. There’s still money to be made. Just not as much.

Protecting corporate interests is so hot right now though.

Getting knots in my stomach just thinking about it

Bakkoda ,

Ok so about the hearing thing… I’ve always assumed I’m somewhere on the spectrum, focus issues etc all the tell tale signs but like at a 2 or 3 tops. However, last like year I’ve been finding myself awake at night once or twice a week and i swear i can hear the cosmos. Literally every noise everywhere. Is it imagination? Combination?

Who wants to start a lawsuit trolling company where we scrape, ingest and search for anything we can sue for discrimination and donate as much of the proceeds to charity of a competing viewpoint as we possibly can?

Look at this guy trying to make sense of a GOP policy statement. You go!

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information (futurism.com)

You know how Google’s new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won’t slide off (pssst…please don’t do this.)...

Bakkoda ,

The greatest scapegoat ever created. AI did it not us, oh no!

Bakkoda ,

The Democratic party seems to be pretty ok with staying just a few moral shades lighter than the GOP and i honestly can’t stomach watching that depth meter spin down into the abyss.

My wife: We don’t need to replace the door frame just the door

Me crosscutting and ripping my new door to fit the old frame: Great idea honey

Bakkoda ,

Same exact cpu. It’s a tpm issue. You might be able to “solve” it with some simple bios setting but some would consider it already fixed. I have.

Bakkoda ,

Here’s the thing. I’m better off than i was last year. And the year before and the year before that. With that said, 2023-2024 was less of an improvement than any of the last 5 years or so because of cost of living. So am i better off than last year? Sure. An i concerned that’s only gonna last another year or so? Very.

There will be people in here who will downvote and explain how my anecdotal experience/sample size of 1 does not invalidate all the “research” and at the same time expect you to invalidate your entire situation because the research says blah blah blah.

Republican National Committee’s headquarters evacuated after vials of blood are addressed to Trump (apnews.com)

The Republican National Committee’s Washington headquarters was briefly evacuated on Wednesday as police investigated two vials of blood that had been addressed to former President Donald Trump following the presumptive presidential nominee’s takeover of the national party apparatus....

I hope shit gets really weird in the next couple months. Not bad or dangerous, just really fuckin weird.

We’ve had UFOs. Lizard people? Check. Vampires? Not fuckin yet but hold my beer.

Foxconn factory had people throwing themselves off the roof of the building because of working conditions. The US gave them a sweet deal to build a plant in Minnesota/Michigan i think. We literally rewarded them.

They spent millions in the past establishing that they are entertainment not news and thus cannot be held accountable or some such shit.

Haleon/GSK has almost exclusively started offering only coops/internships in upstate NY. Not a single non hourly/salaried position in the last 6 months. Laid off 40-50 in the last year, brought on a dozen students.

Business titans privately urged NYC mayor to use police on Columbia protesters, chats show (www.washingtonpost.com)

A group of billionaires and business titans working to shape U.S. public opinion of the war in Gaza privately pressed New York City’s mayor last month to send police to disperse pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, according to communications obtained by The Washington Post and people familiar with the group....

Remember the Panama papers? Haha the what?

Bakkoda ,

This is hands down the best example I’ve ever seen of how the carrot and the stick isn’t done.

Bakkoda ,

It honestly didn’t look good to me in 1999 when RIT was hitting 40k and i only had to pay half the cost. Can you imagine now? Absolutely nothing has been done to actually solve student loans, just a politicized and heavily obstructed attempt to relieve some debt. And now we’ve hiked the rates up to damn near double digits and said go get em kids! It’s like the 80s all over again except someone added two zeros to the price of everything.

That’s what most of the night sight pics are. 2-5 second exposure.
