    The best entry point is Resident Evil 2 (2019), then play in sequence. RE1 introduces some characters and concepts, but they get better introductions in subsequent titles, and the game is… best experienced as a written summary, or while high.

    You can also start with RE 7 if you want less action and more horror, it only intersects with the main storyline at literally the last moment, then move on to RE 8 before going back to 2.

    It’s mostly a joke, although people from regions with lacking or misleading sex ed might not be aware of its importance. Or existence.

    It’s also possible that the issue is with the technique. Proper stimulation might be difficult to achieve during intercourse if one or both participants are inexperienced or selfish.





  • Right at this moment, I’m rebuilding my homelab after a double HDD failure earlier this year.

    The previous build had a RAID 5 array of three 1TB Seagate Barracudas that I picked out of the scrap pile at work. I knew what I was getting into and only kept replaceable files on it. When one of the drives started doing the death rattle, I decided to yank some harder-to-acquire files to my 3TB desktop HDD before trying to resilver the entire array. Guess which device was the next to fail. I could mount and read it, but every operation took 2-5 minutes. SMART showed a reallocation count in the thousands. That drive contained some important files that I couldn’t replace, which were backed up to the (now dead) server. Fortunately ddrescue managed to recover damn near everything and I only lost 80 kilobytes out of the entire disk. That was a very expensive lesson that I’ve learned very cheaply.

    The new setup has a RAIDz1 pool of 3x 4TB Ironwolf disks (constrained by the available SATA sockets on the motherboard), plus a new SSD for the OS and 16GB RAM (upgraded from literally the first SSD I ever bought and 10GB mis-matched DDR3).

    Mounting it was a bit of a dilemma. The previous array was simply mounted to the filesystem from fstab and bind-mounted to the containers. I definitely wanted the storage to be managed from Proxmox’s web UI and to be able to create VDs and LXC volumes on it. Some community members helped me choose ZFS over LVM-on-RAID5. Setting up the correct permissions wasn’t as much of a headache as last time. I’ve just managed to get a Samba+NFS+HTTP file server and Jellyfin running and talking to each other. Forgejo and Nextcloud will be next.

    Then don’t bring that shit to other communities. I don’t care what happened in other places; from my perspective, from what I’ve seen, you’re the one creating conflict.

    At any rate, this is a meme community: sharing and remixing other people’s things for fake internet points is the cornerstone of internet meme culture. If you think this is immoral, you should contact the artist rather than intervene on their behalf.




  • If you have a freeze dryer, you can take it one step further by making dehydrated instant water: carefully transfer the boiling water into the trays, then run the freeze dryer until all of the water has evaporated. Whatever is left is compact and easy to store, with a practically infinite shelf life. To turn it back into water, simply add water and stir thoroughly.
