I'm beautiful and tough like a diamond...or beef jerky in a ball gown.

  • I wanna go back to the 90s before people shouting endless streams of opinions into microphones was glamorized

    Jump

  • Truth.

    And given all that's happened between the original run of KoTH and the present, I found Dale a lot less charming in the reboot.

    Jump

  • I'm not saying the concept didn't exist then. There was just a higher barrier to entry than buying a microphone.

  • What Star Trek media did you watch in the last week? - 12/03/25

    Jump

  • I'm currently on the second book of the "Cold Equations" trilogy.

    Almost gave up on the first book 1/3 of the way through but glad I stuck with it. There was an entire chapter basically just describing the meal the character was enjoying lol. I mean, in context, it makes sense but it definitely seemed like it dragged on for a bit too long.

    The character was Noonien Soong after he uploaded his consciousness into an android body, and the chapter describing the meal was him exploring his senses, making sure everything was "still there", and things like that.

  • Good old CEO

    Jump

  • Nedry was literally a computer scientist and systems designer / programmer from Cambridge. Arnold was a theme park engineer (designing rides and control systems; some programming involved but a whole different paradigm than developing large systems).

    Source: Have read the novel 50+ times.

  • Good old CEO

    Jump

  • Arnold was an engineer, though. He was competent in using the system and not totally lost when poking around the code, but he's no computer scientist. Basically, he was a power user / sysadmin rather than a developer.

    Will LW PLEASE do something (ANYTHING!) about that obnoxious hit-and-run account?

  • Any Klingon speakers around who play Arc Raiders by chance?

    Jump

  • I am not a gamer these days and am unfamiliar with Arc Raiders, but if there's any way to incorporate the Klingon death ritual when one of your squad goes down, that would probably be pretty epic

  • I can't even do "vacation" Klingon lol. All I know is Qapla' means "success!" and you call someone a petaQ when you want to insult them.

  • Lemmy Politics

    Jump

  • Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account. Just block and don't look back.

  • Do you think you’d be able to identify a given Gatorade’s color just by taste?

    Jump

  • Considering I can't even identify the flavor by the label, I'm gonna say, no, probably not.

  • In the "DS9: Millennium" trilogy, that's pretty much exactly what kicks off the plot lol.

  • MAGA trolls outed as foreigners vanish from X after brutal update

    Jump

  • Basically pretending to be an organic grass-roots movement or to plant the seeds but the movement is to either destabilize or otherwise benefit a foreign entity.

    How do you do my fellow Americans? How about we just start burning stuff down?

    Basically shit like that (it's not always that transparent except when it is exactly that transparent). See it pretty often even on here (less so since I've enabled "turbo" on my block button).

  • MAGA trolls outed as foreigners vanish from X after brutal update

    Jump

  • I guess what I'm saying is we should get the hell rid of it all so eventually public opinion won't be swayed by cheap foreign labor, bots, and people who just want to burn it all down.

    I've blocked so many accounts on here that are clearly not Americans just straight up trying to incite shit in US news / politics communities. I don't know what's worse: the number of upvotes those get or how transparent they are.

    Statistically Speaking, Six out of Seven Dwarves Are Not Happy

  • Solitude

    Jump

  • Not sure if ADHD specific or a symptom of being "on the spectrum" or a bit of both (have never been diagnosed either way but show all the signs), but I have a very low capacity "social battery" and am very sensitive to noise. The end result is I crave (relative) solitude and quiet or else I'm useless at getting anything done.

  • What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch?

    Jump

  • An unmanaged switch is just a single plane where all ports are equal. All ports share OSI layers 1 and 2. Anything you plug into port 24 can always reach anything you have plugged into port 3.

    Managed switches (also sometimes known as "smart" switches) provide additional features on top of that. The most useful is VLANs (virtual LANs) which let you segregate traffic. Two ports on different VLANs share the same physical layer (layer 1) but are separated at the data link layer (layer 2). This lets you create up to 4096 different networks on the same switch; each network is isolated from the other. If port 24 and port 3 are on different VLANs, then they will not be able to communicate unless they can reach a common router at layer 3.

    Additionally, managed switches let you do things like disable/enable ports (for security, power savings, etc), enable port mirroring, and combine multiple ports into an aggregation group (e.g. bond four 1 Gb links into one 4 Gb link).

    The available features on a managed/smart switch vary by manufacturer and, often, by the license level (sadly common in enterprise gear). VLANs, port control, mirroring, and LAGs are usually common "baseline" features, though.

  • sometimes it ain't just about dat math

    Jump

  • Or, you know, we could just quit it with this generational shaming nonsense. It's not like human beings are complex creatures or anything.

  • I'm sick of these asterisk-holes

    Jump

  • Also unclear on that. But what is clear is OP apparently expects everyone to re-make a funny meme that everyone in the world can understand because they have to make a mountain out of a molehill and lack the imagination necessary to fill in the bl*nks.
