Maybe I am? Maybe I’m one of those people… Better downvote me just in case. :)


The Muslims are way ahead of us on this one, showing the way with the hijab and burka.

/s



Aws serverless is a scam also. Lambda with step functions just to run some functions in order without having to scale servers?

Its just ridiculous how much complexity it adds, and the performance is abysmal compared to local function calls as well. It’s like younger devs have never written a fast application without aws.


This sounds like a chat gpt answer.



Security. Yeah that’s what users complained about… :P

They don’t trust Microsoft but I guess that’s harder to put on their web page.


People said it back then too. The ad and tracking industry will always invade more and more of our privacy. When will there be enough tracking to make them stop and be happy? Never. Never is the only answer.


You haven’t met most people. :)


I don’t know. People in the west dont seem to understand they also listen to propaganda every single day. But they think it’s just happening in Russia or China.


Thank you, good explanation. I can see why people get confused since the outcome depends on the subscription length then.


This is me right now, constantly thinking about how to implement a thing I’m working on. Even in bed I wake up and think about it. Lols.


I thought they let you use the version you used when you started subscribing, not then you ended the subscription? This was something a lot of people were upset about. That if you subscribe for a year and stop, you end up with a year old version.


Even worse when you have a bug and you cant stop trying to find it and fix it. I often have the feeling that if I stop now, I lose the entire context of what I’m doing and it’s just so hard to get started again the next day.

I prefer to dig in until I find it, even when tired and hungry.


Yeah makes sense. I don’t know the backstory at all so in that light, it makes sense. Guess they wanted to cast some sexy actor rather than someone who looks the part.



I removed the smiley since I didn’t intend it to be condescending. But I’m 100% certain that guy would knock that girl out in a second. It wasn’t just “a man”, it was a fit fighter man with tons of muscles.

But like I said, if it’s a game, there is no real physics so anything is possible.


I mean, as the previous posters have said, if this is supposed to be like a game, then sure. Anything is possible. But if it was reality, she would have no chance against that guy.


Well I guess, if the TV show is supposed to be like a game, then at least I understand why she is overpowered.


Really? So interesting to me that someone would think she could even hurt the guy.



Yeah I don’t know the fallout backstory at all, but A+ doesn’t change things like physics.



I stopped watching in the first episode when the tiny girl beat up a muscular huge man.

Felt like avengers but she is supposed to be a normal girl right? I felt it was so dumb.


It’s not even comparable in quality. It’s like almost trolling to even suggest they are in the same league. If you don’t want to spend 10 dollars, fine, but maybe stop pretending that your instance is somehow the best quality search engine that exists… :)



Why not use a bicycle instead of a car? Because it’s 10 miles to work.

One search engine is a hobby project, the other ones competes with Google and gives better results and ability to filter them and prioritize them as you want.


I think you are still learning… What you say doesn’t make sense, so I think you may have misunderstood what happened.



And then we complain when file system developers murders their wives.

I bet they mean FAANG when they say tech industry. Nobody outside of that circle even have to care what they say.


I don’t know where that hatred comes from, but I can only assume it’s because those guys couldn’t find good ladies to be with. They probably got rejected a lot and now they don’t like wimen at all. But I don’t know for sure.


A small joke and look at the downvotes, lol.

We need to be able to joke about things in this messed up world.


I use Asus routers, they have good hardware. But then I install Fresh Tomato on them to give them full professional routing capabilities. It’s amazing what’s included in that, including vlan support, dns masquerade support etc etc.



Didn’t know that, thanks for clarification!

Then I suggest two piholes. :)


Yeah this is the next best option, but a secondary pihole is the best, so you still get the dns blocking while the first one is down.

You listed cloudflare now (1.1.1.1) but I prefer https://www.quad9.net/ for the privacy and security.


Proxmox with latest Debian i guess, but all virtual machines are on Ubuntu 23.10. It’s just the easiest to install things on, and have a semi-recent kernel, even though I would never use it on the desktop.

I actually wanted to run arch in the vms but I couldn’t find any image with the latest arch. The latest I found was with kernel 6.3.


I used to use a lot of nvim but actually went to Jetbrains now at work… It’s just a lot easier to work with for teams.


The IT Crowd - Piracy warning
Sorry to link to YouTube for this, but it's just such a great example of actual humor from the decades where it was allowed to joke about it.
