Aren’t Christians supposed to be following the teachings of Jesus Christ? You know, the guy who preached kindness, fought hypocrisy (“those without sin may cast the first stone”), encouraged self-accountability (“if your eye causes you to sin, cast it out”), and gave his life for the betterment of others?

God is an egotistical a-hole. He tested his followers in inhumane ways to prove their faith and devotion and used the fear of eternal suffering and damnation to enforce his will.

A Christian that reads the Bible and takes away the teachings of God but not Jesus is misguided at best.

Another application of those things are virtualization. Throw in 3 x4 TB NVMe SSDs, 384 GB of memory, and a 25G NIC.

Off a single unit, you would be able to sell 12 VPS instances with 16 cores, 32 GB of memory, 1 TB of storage, and a guaranteed 1.5Gbps link.

That’s an EPYC. It’s a datacenter CPU, and it’s priced accordingly. Nobody uses these at home outside of hardcore homelab enthusiasts with actual rack setups.

JavaScript was a mistake, but this is one of the few things they did correctly. Implicitly importing everything from a package into the current scope makes it difficult to follow where variables or functions come from, and it’s prone to cause problems when two packages export the same identifier.

If you’re an absolute masochist, there’s always a workaround. Against all best practices, you can use the deprecated with statement. Or, you can Object.assign() the packages into the global object like a monster. Or if you’re using node, you can use the node:vm module to create a new V8 context with its own global object of your choosing.

Anon is in over his head. He should give up and send it your way. Only a professional will get that guy talking.

You would think that the guy who produced two movies that are thinly veiled criticisms of humanity exploiting the environment and disturbing native inhabitants for profit would not be supporting the exploitative shit that uses as much electricity as an entire city.

If the passwords were properly salted, it wouldn’t. But if they’re not salted, helloooooo rainbow tables. Or the world’s greatest crossword puzzle, like that one Adobe accidentally made. Maybe even both!

Look for used parts or machines recycled as part of a corporate hardware refresh. They won’t be top of the line, but it’s better than paying double the price for something that’s already expensive.

Screenshots? Look at Mr. Speedy Pants over here!

In my experience, half the time it’s a bloody YouTube video. Nothing says “fun” like having to seek back around in a video to find the next step without waiting 20 extra seconds because you already had to seek back and pause the video after it breezed past an overcomplicated and poorly explained step.

You think that’s bad? For as much as I love seeing a well-configured Nix system, it’s beginner-unfriendly learning curve is almost as bad as “compile everything yourself” distros.

As a beginner, do you have a question about Nix? RTFM. You did? Well, wrong Nix. You wanted to learn something about Nix the language, but those docs were about Nix the OS and Nix the package manager.

You just read a guide for using the nix command and wanted to install a program with nix-env? That’s an outdated guide. You should be using flakes and nix profile. You tried that, but it said the nix command is experimental so you didn’t do it? No, you were supposed to edit /etc/nix/nix.conf to enable them first.

Don’t get me wrong here though, I like Nix. It just desperately needs an actual beginner-friendly beginner guide for flakes and nix command commands that doesn’t assume everyone is a software developer. 80% of the Nix documentation tutorials aren’t even relevant to regular users, only package maintainers and NixOS users.

Tesla’s stock is an irrational, overinflated hype stock with an absurd price-to-earnings ratio and a large-shareholder CEO who was being investigated by the SEC before he dismantled it.

Considering that the stocks are used as his personal piggybank and his history of totally-not-market-manipulation-because-there-are-no-charges, I would be more surprised if the sales numbers are accurate.

Overwatch should be illegal in there anyway because of the “gay propaganda”

Good luck with that one. As long as Overwatch is free to play, they can just make new accounts with an EU VPN. No way to tie the account owner to their country of origin unless they fork over that info voluntarily, such as by having to make an online purchase.

Source? That would be useful for helping convince friends/family to switch to Linux and LibreOffice.

And then lost the reflog by rm -rfing the project and cloning it again.

Why was the path to my save games hidden in a dotfile-folder?

It isn’t any better on Windows, but oh boy does this one piss me off.

~/.config/mygame — wtf, no it's not config
~/mygame — fuck off, the home folder is mine
~/.local/share/mygame — better, I guess?
~/.cache/mygame — absolutely not here
~/.steam/.../MyGame — still not great, but at least it's self contained

Oh, interesting. I knew something was off about the place when I kept seeing anti-“woke” conservative opinion pieces posted there, but I thought it was just a bunch of MAGA morons voluntarily role-playing as “independent” “journalists”.

I actually jumped ship a while back. I agree that Plex is a business and they do deserve to get paid for development and infrastructure costs, but it’s the blatant enshitification that I have a big issue with.

They chose to lock a previously-free feature behind a paywall for everybody and asked for even more money to get it back. The less shitty alternative would have been to ask only the users who needed to use the relays to purchase a Plex Pass. Or, if they wanted to make it seem like a positive thing, they could have made the new subscription into an “enhanced quality” remote streaming experience that enabled higher bitrates over relays.

They gave their users the middle finger by picking the most transparently greedy option that they could get away with justifying.

Fair enough, although that actually has worse optics IMO. It goes from “this costs us money, so pay us” to “we need money, so we’re creating an artificial reason for you to pay us”

The self-hosted servers use UPnP and NAT-PMP to automatically forward the port used for media streaming.

Very, apparently.

They use UPnP and NAT-PMP1 to have clients directly stream the media from users’ own self-hosted servers. It costs them almost nothing in bandwidth to do that.
