  • Darkenstein 3D free on Steam

    Jump

  • Is this the greatest game ever written?

    No. It's just a tribute.

  • Why do so many hand dryers not dry hands? Am I doing something wrong?

    Jump

  • Very regional.

    In areas with high humidity they don't work all that well

  • Not promoting hate speech but what happened to all the slights/slurs/vulgarity from like the 20s and 40s. There were so many. Now it seems well I can only think of three?

  • "Alabama Ingenuity" is the phrase I typically use these days.

  • New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds

    Jump

  • I had a 1989 Ford Probe without a handle that stuck out like a typical car. It was recessed instead.

    Better for fuel efficiency, which was also the intention of these stupid flush mount ones Tesla has been fawning over. But these were still manual door handles designed 40ish years ago...

  • Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others?

    Jump

  • I dress to avoid indecency charges.

  • Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • And that's the fault of whoever uses those hubs. You can use practically any zigbee hub you wish. Zigbee is zigbee.

  • Logitech will brick its $100 Pop smart home buttons on October 15 - Ars Technica

    Jump

  • You didn't look very hard.

    Cheap zigbee stuff exists everywhere. And zigbee is an open standard, so if it works, it will work until the equipment breaks.

  • Which would be better?

    Jump

  • The Linux kernel isn't really much different between any distribution of Linux.

    If it works on one, it works on the rest, in like 99% of cases.

    The only real exception to that is custom distributions built specifically for a particular device or subset of devices.

    In other words, for embedded devices, like phones, routers, TVs and such.

    And those aren't going to be running Ubuntu.

  • Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally

    Jump

  • Naive? No. What's naive is thinking that if you give power to anyone over your own data , even your government, that it will.protect it.

    You think the EU cares about your privacy? I know my own government is doing it's level best to destroy mine, but at least I'm aware of it.

    You, however, have the naivete of Pollyanna and think your vaunted EU is better.

  • Bezos plan for solar powered datacenters is out of this world… literally

    Jump

  • That sounds like privacy, not evil.

    Because history, as well as current events, tell us that governments will absolutely make privacy illegal, so if you can do an end run of them by not being beholden to ANY government, then that is absolutely a good thing.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • In my own experience, certain things should always be on their own dedicated machines.

    My primary router/firewall is on bare metal for this very reason.

    I do not want to worry about my home network being completely unusable by the rest of my family because I decided to tweak something on the server.

    I could quite easily run OpnSense in a VM, and I do that, too. I run proxmox, and have OpnSense installed and configured to at least provide connectivity for most devices. (Long story short: I have several subnets in my home network, but my VM OpnSense setup does not, as I only had one extra interface on that equipment, so only devices on the primary network would work)

    And tbh, that only exists because I did have a router die, and installed OpnSense into my proxmox server temporarily while awaiting new-to-me equipment.

    I didn't see a point in removing it. So it's there, just not automatically started.

  • Those who are hosting on bare metal: What is stopping you from using Containers or VM's? What are you self hosting?

    Jump

  • My reasons for keeping OpnSense on bare metal mirror yours. But additionally I don't want my network to take a crap because my proxmox box goes down.

    I constantly am tweaking that machine...

  • How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?

    Jump

  • Depends on the face?

    If it's your mom's? Absolutely.

  • How did easy access to Porn while growing up impacted Gen-Z ?

    Jump

  • Probably the same way easy access to it affected my own generation.

    Not a damn bit. At least one out of every friend group had a dad with porn magazines and tapes, and they'd get passed around during, and after school.

    I was born in 1976.

  • Yeah. We have a smart washer. It's out in our detached garage/shop so even if the chime were on, no one in the house would ever hear it.

    The only "smart" feature we use on it at all is remote notifications.

    And we don't use the GE app for that either. I have it linked through our Home Assistant, so no one in the family needs their crap on our phones. Yes, HA must link into their servers, but the only real data GE gets is how much we use it, and the "city" where our internet connection says we're in.. which is 300 miles away from our actual home, in a completely different state.

  • Campaigners urge EU to mandate 15 years of OS updates

    Jump

  • By replacing it with something better.

  • Taliban leader bans Wi-Fi in an Afghan province to 'prevent immorality'

    Jump

  • Because almost everyone else in the world has begun referring to their entire internet connection as "Wi-Fi" and it pisses me off, too.
