The best part is when they purposely use only one notification channel, so you either have to disable all of them or none of them. And it’s not because they don’t know you can make multiple channels, nope, it’s because some product manager figured out there’s a higher rate of delivery for marketing notifications if they don’t let users have fine-grained control. Metrics above all else 👑

No one that serious about network security wouldn’t already have a network dedicated to untrusted devices relatives could use. Definite joke, still entertaining 😂

Kotlin/JS would be my first choice ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Love seeing a post about Anki, it’s a great tool. I’ve been studying Japanese for about a year with it, and my reading and writing skills have increased dramatically. It helps that I studied with formal classes in college (up to 400 level) but I think mastering a language requires a lot more than what classes can provide. I still severely lack in speaking skill but I’ll have other study plans for that later 🙈 Being able to write the joyou kanji and read/write the 10000 most common Japanese words is my current goal and Anki is excellent for that.

Imagine being the IT person that maintains those. Do they get to live on the superyacht on call? Or do they get serviced when he takes the yacht into the shop. These are my questions. I’m sure he knows about PCs but ain’t no billionaire maintaining 15 gaming PCs himself.

I mean I guess if you’re in the air at night then yeah you can open them. My last few flights were long haul going west during the day, so the sun never goes down, and people sleep the whole way.

In any case if you’re on a flight longer than a couple hours you’re not allowed to open them anyway, they make you keep em shut so people can nap 🙈 But it’s fun to look out for the takeoff and landing. But the planes that tint the windows are the best.

I play a fair amount of multiplayer FPS and I pretty much just assume I have to boot into my Windows partition for them because of anti-cheat. The fact there are some FPS games that actually support Linux is surprising news for me, hopefully more devs start adding support.

As a dev working on a large project using gradle, a lot of the time interfaces are useful as a means to avoid circular dependencies while breaking things up into modules. It can also really boost build times if modules don’t have to depend on concrete impls, which can kill the parallelization of the build. But I don’t create interfaces for literally everything, only if a type is likely going to be used across module boundaries. Which is a roundabout way of saying they reduce coupling, but just noting it as a practical example of the utility you gain.

Comcast doesn’t necessarily have to go away as long as they don’t have a monopoly on the infrastructure used to deliver an essential utility to homes. But I’d have to agree it would be nice if they just went away too.

I just can’t get over why he needs a massive mousepad for software development and yet is using the shittiest keyboard possible. Maybe in between builds he’s queueing up for Fortnite?

well this is just great, literally yesterday I upgraded to a new Brother printer after 14 years with my old HP laser printer. I may have to consider returning but damn I’m so happy finally having automatic duplex printing and scanning. Honestly the amount they are pushing a subscription toner service had me kinda skeptical already, just seemed really weird from a company everyone has been touting as so consumer friendly

Almost everything about OW1 is now back in OW2! 6v6 is back, loot boxes are back. You can even play the OW1 metas if you want, though they pretty much only show just how much better the game has gotten over the years.

I’ve been playing OW1 since launch and have really liked OW2, my only complaint was that they were making playable heroes unlockable, but that was fixed a long time ago.

I’m just speaking from personal experience, friend. I understand someone will probably have a list of like 10 links of counterexamples handy but I can say with fair confidence they probably haven’t affected me. Hell, my original joycons actually still work, though I did buy my Switch a couple years after release. And I’m not simping for anything, I will 100% change my stance the day Nintendo starts screwing me over 🤷‍♂️

At this point in the world I just want to reward one of the few companies that has yet to screw me over. Everything I’ve ever bought from Nintendo still works to this day, and I’m generally expecting it to work forever. No one else is making products like that, it’s all short-term shareholder profits-- who cares about the customer? If you want to pay what garbage is priced at, you’ll get garbage in the end.

I get your point, but I’ll probably end up paying that. The exclusives are pricey but I almost always end up playing them for 50-100+ hours each, so I can’t really complain 🤷‍♂️

I love hearing about all of these stories the day after I decided to set up a tailnet. No issues so far but who knows. At least now I know to check my DNS config 🙉

Are hardlinks directional? I thought they just resulted in 2 identical files that point to the same physical drive space, therefore only taking 1x disk space.

Once I realized Radarr was making those, I basically just mass-hardlinked my old torrent movies directory to my radarr media directory and used the import page.

pretty new setup but so far I’ve got

symmetra - synology dsm (nas)
junkrat - intel nuc main server

need to name my desktop/laptop now and maybe networking gear. thinking ramattra for the router and zenyatta for the bridge

Awesome thank you, this is what I ended up setting up today. It’s a bit of an awkward solution for now, I would very much like to use it for its ad blocking functionality but I’m unsure if I want to make it my only DNS provider while I’m still migrating services over to the mini PC and messing with the server config. I had set up Pihole years ago and my wife ran into problems using some apps on her phone so I think I’d need to be more proactive about making sure that’s working this time around too.
