Your favorite video game doesn't need a remake | Digital Trends (www.digitaltrends.com)

Curious about y’alls opinions on this. I like the idea of getting new people to experience an older game by aligning it to modern graphics and accessibility standards. But capitalizing on nostalgia with quick updates to that make it look modern rather than making new games seems like just more of studios trying to squeeze...

I believe you’re correct. I can’t speak for other people but for myself it is not that i want a bloodborne remake or remaster. I just want a PC port.

I’m not paying a subscription to stream the game to my PC. Im not buying a ps4 to play a single game. And i believe I’m not entirely alone in this

They have bundled malware from the main downloads on their own site multiple times over the years, and even denied it and tried gaslighting people that AVs were giving false positives because AV companies are paid off by other corporations. And the admin will even try to delete the threads about this stuff but web archive to the rescue…

Yeah, it’s bad. Surprised they’re still serving that crap in their own bundle but i guess some things don’t change.

Filezilla is no relation to mozilla. But yeah i moved away from it years ago. The general recommendation I’ve seen is “anything but filezilla”. Personally i use winscp for windows, and will have to figure out what to use when i switch my daily driver to Linux.

They don’t need to bring it back—Polygamy is still in the Mormon church. They believe in eternal marriages and after a civil (normal) divorce they won’t let women remarry but men can marry again in the church. Same thing if your spouse dies.

Mormons expecting to go to heaven and meet all their wives up there.

Whoa whoa whoa, bringing history into this? What are we supposed to study and learn from that stuff instead of studying some book a polygamist pedophile wrote?

They’ve already gone downhill since 2020 when they couldn’t keep up with the demand and focused on B2B sales. This really isn’t a surprise to me

They did, and they still have the rpi foundation with that goal, as well as the for-profit subsidiary.

It’s a flaw with effective altriusm-- you have a goal of fixing some large scale problem and at some point you realize you need large amounts of capital to expand your impact. But the interim period you are just going to be amassing wealth with this idea of doing good. And even then, you may never reach a point where you feel like you earned enough to solve your problem. I.e sam bankman fried

Now I’m not saying that rpi foundation hasn’t done good in the world. I’m just saying that they did start off with a lofty goal and it is clear that they are wanting to expand and make more money. Maybe this means someday they’ll be able to do even greater things through the rpi foundation… but I’m not optimistic

i once had a customer who wanted their fish “blackened”. Everyone else on staff had tried at some point and the customer always complained it was undercooked. So me being the new gal said id do it. I threw it in a pan and left it there for god knows how long. Then flipped it, left it there longer, and finally threw it into the back of our oven for another 15 minutes. It was literally charcoal when i was done. I was sure they would complain that it was overcooked but those fuckers loved it. They specifically requested me to cook their meal whenever they came in after that. I was just fucking with them the first time 🤷‍♀️

My work agreement is supposed to be 8-5 with hour lunch. I work 9-5 or 8-4 and eat at my desk when i can. But i do have mandatory overtime which sometimes makes it 7am-9pm. Fun times

Id set up a static website with Hugo. You can preview and build locally. Or put it on your home network and vpn in if you need remote access to make an entry.

In your content folder you could do content/[year]/[month]/[day]/index.md, and have a _index.md in the year and in month folders so there would be pages with automatic collection of articles under that year/ month. You could also subdivide the content folder into health/ general/ shower thoughts and other “types” of journals

They have support for tags, categories, and custom taxonomies. So if you wanted to have “people” category you could, and then a “thing” category or any other sort of way to tag the content.

What else do you expect from a company that first started with NFTs?

of course they are going to scam and gaslight you

Basically when you buy your subscription you also get perpetual access to the current X.Y.Z version + any future bugfixes (Z). So if you stop paying next year you still have access to the version from when your started your subscription.

ResoluteCatnap , (edited )

It’s the version from when you paid your annual subscription (or 12 monthly payments ago) plus any bugfixes.

So you buy 4.3.2 and you will always have access to 4.3.Z

2 months later they release 5.0.0. Your subscription let’s you use 5.0.0. If you cancel your subscription then can go back to your perpetual version 4.3.Z

At least that’s how it’s supposed to work

Generally, a 13-year brood emerges in the same year as a 17-year brood roughly every 5-6 years, though most of the 17-year broods are not in contact with a 13-year brood, so the different cicadas are clearly separated in space. A co-emergence involving adjacent broods of different life cycles is something that happens only roughly every 25 years. Any two specific broods of different life cycles co-emerge only every 221 years.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s exciting that these two broods are co-emerging, but broods co-emerge more frequently than hundreds of years

Utah teen lgbtqia+ suicide rate is very high. I’ve got a friend who is a therapist out there and i do not envy them. The Mormon church tries to say that they love and accept everyone but if you push them they will clarify they can love someone but they hate the sin. Ask yourself, how can you love someone when you can’t accept a fundamental part of them? If you practice your gayness/etc you will be treated differently by Mormon church standards. You will lose out on church privileges and be ostracized.

From what I’ve heard self hosting your email though can be a big PITA so paying someone for email is not a terrible choice. Self hosting you need to carefully manage the system and reputation to make sure your email that you send actually gets delivered, and doesn’t arrive in spam.

There was a darknet diaries episode on sim swaps recently that some of you might find interesting. Ep 112: Dirty Coms.

from the episode: You also have to worry about current/former employees knowing how to use manager tablets, because those tablets can get stolen and then passed off to someone who knows what they’re doing to do a sim swap before the tablet gets locked out

I have a whole note of memorable ones i keep, but the one that i come back to the most is riker’s “i dream of a galaxy where your eyes are the stars and the universe worships the night” and the following exchange.

Very misleading title

ResoluteCatnap ,

Hackers didn’t hack roku. They “hacked” people who were dumb enough to reuse old, compromised passwords from other services. That is a very big difference from OPs title “roku got hacked”.

It is good for roku to disclose this, but the issue is that people reused passwords.

If you haven’t already, check out choosealicense.com/licenses/ . This gives a broad overview of the common open source licenses. And if you’re just starting out, one of the first things you’ll want to learn is that the licenses fall into either a permissive or copyleft category. You’ll want to make sure you understand the difference between those broad categories.

Shortly, permissive have less to no strings attached to use their code, and copyleft requires you to retain the same licensing terms meaning if you publish under GPLv3 then someone using/ modifying your code needs to also publish under GPLv3. Copyleft licenses ensure that open source code stays open source.

“how do you know someone [does crossfit, is vegan, uses linux]”

“They’ll tell you”

It’s a fairly common joke and seems to get stapled onto any lifestyle choice that someone likes to talk about

Are there any Windows-exclusive programs you use?

I had to test/fix something at work and I set up a Windows VM because it was a bug specific to Windows users. Once I was done, I thought, “Maybe I should keep this VM for something.” but I couldn’t think of anything that wasn’t a game (which probably wouldn’t work well in a VM anyway) or some super specific enterprise...

Don’t worry. The chances of zwift having major updates and breaking anything is small.

I’m mostly joking, but they’ve been around for a decade and not a ton of progress to show for it

Active DDoS mitigation

Netlify monitors for traffic pattern anomalies and spikes, and effectively controls for them as needed.

So is this just a lie? I have never used them and after this post I’m not going to be trying that anytime soon, if ever

ResoluteCatnap ,

Sounds like this was “resolved” on HN and CEO said this was an error, but I’m not so sure. The CEO’s response seems to imply that that communication to/from service reps is true and not made up. The original post shows they have a business practice for cases like this. Plus if the company was willing to settle from their business practice of 20% down to 5% (which in this case was 15k) then that very likely isn’t a decision a service rep could make, so you had some mid to upper level manager make that approval to write-off the $15k and decide that $5k was still owed to the company.

As far as I can tell the only error here is that someone posted about it.

Not to mention the CEO’s response from HN just says this shouldn’t have happened on free accounts, but that begs the question of would this have been any different on non-free accounts where Netlify failed to mitigate a DDoS as advertised?

I had a falling out with a friend but apparently he had listed me as a reference. Now if we were on good terms i mightve lied for him, but he had terrible work ethic and i watched him get fired from one job to the next on repeat for years. So when they asked if i would consider him a good worker i told them frankly i thought he was a terrible worker and how he had been terminated from half a dozen jobs in the 2-3 years i had known him.

I have no idea why i was listed as a reference and i especially don’t know why he wouldn’t tell me he was using me as a reference. But yeah he for sure didn’t get that job.

For a decade i didn’t own a car and biked everywhere. It really is dirt cheap compared to other methods of transportation.

And yeah more off topic but checking your chain for wear and replacing it becomes the most important/frequent replacement item. A worn chain wears out the rest of the drivetrain more quickly-- it is much cheaper to stay on top of replacing the chain than have to replace your cassette and chainrings sooner than normal.

The “angie” fork shares the same problem as nginx run by F5: it’s run by a for-profit corporate entity. Even if it’s good enough now, things might change unexpectedly, like it happened with F5.
