pete_the_cat,

Just another day in America! Calais, France to Dover, England “only” 29 miles. So, yeah, that’s long in a tiny rubber boat, but it’s not like they’re crossing it at the widest point, which is 150 miles.

Unfortunately, we see more and more commercial entities using unauthorized access or misusing authorized access to collect public data in bulk, including Reddit public content, worse, these entities perceive they have no limitation on their usage of that data, and they do so with no regard for user rights or privacy, ignoring reasonable legal, safety, and user removal requests. While we will continue our efforts to block known bad actors, we need to do more to restrict access to Reddit public content at scale to trusted actors who have agreed to abide by our policies. But we also need to continue to ensure that users, mods, researchers, and other good-faith, non-commercial actors have access.”

So, pay to get access, like Google did with their $60 million deal. We’re nothing but money to them.

I was never a huge Simpsons fan, but even I just read this in Homer’s voice. It’s universal.

“we’ll be mindful about placing ads in our games because we’re getting absolutely no revenue from new games we produce…which means they’ll be everywhere.”

pete_the_cat,

Shit, I haven’t played a NFS game since like PS2 haha

pete_the_cat,

We clearly need to take back control and hack the planet 😉

pete_the_cat,

Someone comes up with something good: look what I made, we can use this to better humanity!

Corporations: How can we make money off of this?

pete_the_cat,

a little-known micro-cap stock called Long Island Iced Tea Corp. (LTEA) said Thursday that it’s now “Long Blockchain Corp.,” and its stock leaped more than 200 percent at the open of trading. Shares closed up 183 percent.

🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

This is like my friend who “invested” in Doggy (not Doge) coin “because it was going to explode and become highly valuable” even though it was only worth like .1% of what Doge was worth like two years back… He’s a teacher.

Or my other friend that invested thousands in Etherium like 2 years back, while knowing basically nothing about “The Etherium Network”, or anything crypto related. He just knew that he could potentially make money off of it like he could with stocks. I asked him like a year later if he ever made anything off of it and he said “not really”, and said he had reinvested the money into other things (I forget which, it wasn’t crypto related) 🤣

pete_the_cat,

I’m going to guess enabling “desktop mode” in Chrome (idk if other browsers have it) would probably work as well, but would throw off the layout most likely.

pete_the_cat,

I think what’s even more annoying is when you actually do use the app, every community you visit, it pops up a notification that says “turn on notifications so you don’t miss updates from this community!”

pete_the_cat,

I didn’t get it until I read your comment 🤦‍♂️

pete_the_cat,

I understand what OP means. He (?) is saying that when a woman starts to have bulging muscles, a la the bodybuilder look, it isn’t attractive, because their body looks more masculine and less feminine.

I feel the same way, I love the look of a toned, athletic woman, like the typical yoga or volleyball/tennis body, but when they start having visible definition and bulging muscles it don’t find it attractive.

I’m a dude as well, as to OP’s question, I’ve also heard that some women prefer the dad bod to the Arnold look because muscles aren’t soft to lay on.

pete_the_cat,

Oh shit up…did I say that women aren’t allowed to grow huge muscles and compete in bodybuilder competition?

No, I just said I don’t find women with bulging muscles, like WWE or Weight Lifting for competitions.

pete_the_cat,

Oh nice, I have a Carbon X1. I knew that fprintd has worked for a while, and has allowed me to enroll fingerprints, but has never successfully worked for authentication.

pete_the_cat,

Yep, that’s pretty much my list as well.

pete_the_cat,

Oh, nice! I just moved from NYC to Florida and was introduced to Buc-ees on my ride down haha There aren’t any in the NE, although they did put up a sign recently on the NJ Turnpike that says “You just missed us!” With a uturn arrow and “450 miles”.

pete_the_cat,

I’m assuming you’ve never built a computer before because even 32 GB of RAM costs more than $150 🤣

what will be my next server operating system (Fedora Server, Fedora CoreOS, NixOS), your experience and opinion

I want to reset my server soon and I’m toying with the idea of using a different operating system. I am currently using Ubuntu Server LTS. However, I have been toying with the idea of using Fedora Server (I use Fedora on my laptop and made good experiences with it) or even Fedora CoreOS. I also recently installed NixOS on my...

pete_the_cat,

I’ve been swapping between Arch with OpenZFS and FreeNAS/TrueNAS for probably 5-7 years now. In fact, I’m doing that right now! I think SCALE is finally stable enough to my liking…but we’ll see.

ZFS becomes a pain to manage via the CLI when you have more than a few disks, a nice web GUI takes the pain away.

pete_the_cat,

I know this is a month old, but this was randomly recommended to me in YouTube and I watched their “ad”, even though it’s free to install on a Pi or any other device that can run Debian or Ubuntu.

It works well in a Pi, but their documentation is out of date, and accessing the web GUI isn’t as easy as it should be, especially for new users of Linux. There’s no way to (officially) set a static IP in the OS. I searched their forums, and followed their guide, which didn’t apply anymore since they’re using NetworkManager now. I applied a static IP via that…and FUBAR’d the webUI. A simple reflash of the uSD card doesn’t work either since there are hidden partitions or something because the settings still persisted after two DDs. I had to zero out the first few megs and reflash it in order to get it to work again.

That being said. I’m going to give it to a friend as a no hassle/small footprint/low power piracy box and Plex server.
