No, you misunderstand. You’re thinking of DHCP. The parent poster is talking about CGNAT, where hundreds or thousands of customers of an ISP may share the same public-facing IPv4 address. It’s impossible to self-host anything in this scenario, there no way around it and DDNS won’t help you.


Oh sheeeit! I used revanced on Android, but I had no idea there was also a Firefox extension for that. Thanks!


Not even, though. Practically all the YouTube “creators” these days have [this part of the video is brought to you by scandanavian interwebz to keep out teh hax0rs] sponsored segments that are [Have you shaved your fuckin’ nutsack lately bro? Check out this ball hair trimmer from clipyerjunk dot com] littered throughout [zzzzzzzzzip … ^reecrootah ] their videos.

That being said, some of them at least put effort into finding and vetting content-relevant sponsors that can actually be helpful. I can kinda just barely tolerate those.


When you unwittingly leave yourself a code timebomb


Where is that? We had a metric fuckton of snow and cold last winter in Manshitoba. I’m not denying climate change, just saying that last winter was painfully typical.


WARMER AND DRIER

In the parts of the country that feel the effects of El Niño the most — western and central Canada as well as the Great Lakes — temperatures over the winter and possibly into spring will be warmer than average.

As someone who lives in the frozen asscrack of Canada, thank fuck. God, I hate winter so much. Shit’s all gonna collapse within a few decades anyway, might as well enjoy what little relief from frigid hell I can get.

edit: not sure what the downvoters are disagreeing with here. That the cold sucks ass or that civilization is heading at light speed towards collapse?



There’s plenty of time for Polievre to shoot himself in the foot

His shoes are de facto crocs already and somehow enough people still think he’s able to stand for them.


It just favours the most moderate party

I’m struggling to see the downside here.



No joke, I literally know a sysadmin who has a similarly “generic” English name, talks with the same sort of cadence, and even looks similar. I actually clipped that quote from the episode and set it as my notification when he texts me lol.


This is where another one of your pied piper boxes would go


Filing cabinets or oil paints? Which is better?


Right. It’s a question of where the threshold is before we consider something dangerous enough to warrant a warning.


In fairness, cigarettes contain known carcinogens. You are ripping apart your DNA with every dart. Can the same be said for having a few drinks a week?

I say this as someone who’s never taken a single drag or had even a drop of alcohol (cooking notwithstanding).



I use it regularly (web dev). A lot of complaints and mockery stems from using it badly. None of the programming languages that are regularly the butt of everyone’s jokes force you to use them badly, they just allow you to. If you follow good practices, you’ll be just fine.


There’s always Winnipeg, but then you have to live in Winnipeg.


It’s unclear if the new subvariant causes any unfamiliar symptoms that haven’t already been documented by other Omicron subvariants.

Thankfully, the rates of anosmia and ageusia seem to be dropping.


It’s a lack of controls on capitalism itself. Absolute capitalism works just as poorly as absolute socialism. As with everything in life, the best way to operate is by balancing extremes against each other.

Copy for twice, abstract for thrice. I’ve followed this since I learned it and it’s served me well.

Edit: Wikipedia links are fucky




You can wash non-porous fruits with soap as long as you rinse them off completely.


I’ve been feeling this way for a while, but it’s like — and this seems largely endemic to the western world — governments are coasting on decades-old policies and mindsets that were great decades ago, but either fail or neglect to come up with anything inventive, effective, and successful anymore. It’s just little baby step legislative things here with a sprinkling of token stimulus there, because they’re afraid to cause even the slightest upset to anyone with a modicum of power or influence.

When was the last time a federal or provincial government implemented something that was truly solving a problem in a massive and permanent way? The only thing I can think of that vaguely qualifies is CERB, and even that was light-handed relative to revolutionary steps of the past. It was also popular and an easy political sell.

Many plausible solutions to the housing and personal income crises are easy to imagine:

  • ban corporate and foreign investment properties, forcibly purchase existing ones and turn them into public housing or sell them to small time owners
  • limit the
  • limit maximum rent increases to a percentage of inflation
  • raise minimum wage to a livable standard and legislate its increase tied to inflation
  • tax the goddamn rich already
  • implement basic income
  • implement and enforce maximum highest-to-lowest earner ratios, accounting for all wages, salaries, bonuses, investments, etc., to prevent any corporate tomfuckery

But these things would piss off too many powerful capitalists, of which many legislators happen to be members by sheer “coincidence,” so instead, we get piss-ant cheques every once in a while that ease the pressure for, like, three days.

I’m not saying any of these things would be easy to implement, but they’re not even trying. “Not pissing off the capitalists” needs to stop being a concern for governments. The capitalists will be fine, and if they decide to pack up and leave for greedier pastures, good fucking riddance.

They have to want to fix the problem, not just make easy political layups that create a facade of “doing something” without fixing anything.



I thought cops already had a system for that called “driving while black.”



I’m still trying to figure out how reddit expects to “become profitable” while simultaneously destroying everything that made it valuable.


This is a pretty fascinating (but also frightening) scenario that’s becoming reality as AI progresses. It’s common enough for seniors to fall for scams that even the most modestly savvy could suss out, but this is a whole new level of convincing scams that will require the utmost suspicion.


Python programmers, brace yourself for this…

Oh wait.


In my experience (Javascript and PHP, which both have plenty of footguns), these pitfalls can be avoided by using good practices.

Just because they are dynamically typed doesn’t mean you have to use dynamic typing. Don’t type switch your variables.

Just because you don’t have to use brackets in a certain scenario doesn’t mean you can’t. Use them as needed for clarity.

That kind of thing.



To be fair, that’s a poor example, as the research on ME/CFS is dogshit. It never gets the attention it deserves and its victims suffer in deafening silence, because it’s not some sexy field to research and there’s no immediate, highly visible threat to the almighty economy.

We’re seeing this mirrored with long COVID. At least 16 million Americans are suffering from it — nearly 1 in 20 — and, even with rates that enormously high, research is moving at a glacial pace. There’s no operation warp speed, no coordinated global effort, nobody in world leadership gives a fuck.


Not only that, but their insane demand may not even be possible to comply with unless the user has been active semi-recently.



Fair point. Many such places are just committing atrocities in a different configuration.


Hmm, I don’t know then. The scrolling is anything but smooth for me.
