Nah, it’s not that good, but I can give you a censored version of the ending:

“I’m not homophobic, some of my best friends are f-slur !”

This is where I was tempted to respond with a joke, referencing your gender and sexual identity, as an example use of what I consider acceptable in this particular contex. While you would probably get the joke and not be offended by it, I have decided against it, since there are likely to be people stumbling in, not understanding the context, and taking offense to it. Audience matters, intentionally or not. Plus, the written form makes it harder to convey the humor in a manner that cannot be misunderstood.

Plus, I can only imagine the “this you?”-screenshots when I try to state explicitly that the boards I mod are against homophobia and transphobia, or anything similar.

I’d say it’s OK, provided that:

• The context makes it clear that it’s not meant to offend.
• The slur is actually needed. If the joke works without the slur, don’t.
• Limited (but diverse) audience who understand the humor at play and the people involved.

But then again, I am rarely the target of any slurs, so it’s not really up to me to decide.

Example: This coworker and I used to make jokes about each other’s background all the time. I was mumbling under my breath about how much I hated the paperwork involved in filing expense claims. He said something referencing my lowbrow hillbilly background and how it didn’t mesh well with paperwork. I offered him 10% of the payout if he used his Jewish superpowers and did the paperwork for me. There were maybe two or three others present, all of whom knew us and our dynamic well, and nobody called HR on either of us.

What do you use mega for? Just curious…

These days American manufacturing is so bad they couldn’t even manufacture consent

Obligatory; It’s called linux

Back in the day I used Nagios to get an overview of large systems, and it made it very obvious if something wasn’t working and where. But that was 20 years ago, I’m sure there are more modern approaches.

Come to think of it, at work we have grafana running, but I’m not sure exactly what scope it’s operating under.

I forgot the name, but someone in this thread mentioned an online service where you generate payment cards that allows you to pay for stuff with more privacy.

It certainly does. Which do you use?

Kagi.com - excellent search engine. Yes, it shouldn’t be needed, but in this day and age it clearly is. Excellent slop filter, and it let’s you downrank and uprank certain sites in your search results. And I just found out you can see the most popular sites for each category, so it’s fast and easy to see which sites probably are and aren’t worth having in your results at all. It makes internet search feel like it did 20 years ago.

Namecheap.com - It’s where I have my domain names. Mostly because they aren’t godaddy.

EDIT: Forgot to mention hetzner.

40s. Saw Lemmy mentioned on Reddit around the time of the API debacle. It became clear to me that reddit would not be usable in the long run, as it is unusable without 3rd party clients.

Upon checking Lemmy out, it reminded me of the kind of internet I hadn’t seen in ages, so I stayed.

Barring any hardware issues or external factors, will it run for 10000 years? Any logs not properly rotated? And other outputs accumulating and eventually filling up a filesystem?

Because despite what they believe, they aren’t challenging my world view. They’re peddling conspiracy theories and setting Olympic records in mental gymnastics to ignore mountains of evidence, all in an effort to present “proof” that has been refuted over and over again. It’s a position that is absolutely laughable and any flat earther who considers themselves rational have already presented enough anecdotal evidence that a debate on the subject will be as stupid as the belief itself.

Due to raids

The surrender wasn’t unconditional. Germany accepted a surrender which did not include Zeeland in the armstice. This also meant any maritime and air assets in the region.

Also, Netherlands had an offramp by surrendering. See my comment about being on death ground above.

Sounds more like what you need is a combination of a VPN and RDP. Have your machines connect to somewhere via whichever VPN protocol you prefer, and then you can access them via whichever protocol you prefer.

I’m old and crusty, so I mostly use openvpn, but wireguard will probably do as well.

There have been some, but I’m not sure to which extent.

That’s why I said “conventional”, which nukes aren’t
