It'll be just like that movie Reminiscence where they get around Miami by boat. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reminiscence_(2021_film)#Plot

Hugging, definitely.

Snuggling, maybe? Like maybe we both fell asleep in the back of a van and ended up snuggling a bit and when we woke up we're not weirded out by it.

Wrestling, maybe, but it would probably be with kids or pets around. I can't remember doing it but I wouldn't be weirded out by it.

It wasn't always this way though. I was raised southern Baptist. Becoming OK with male physical interactions and homosexuality was a journey, and I am much happier with how accepting I am now than when I said I was as a Christian who had this low-key hypocritical "I know the truth of god and accept everybody" while also looking down on sinners.

I have a gay friend who came to visit me and we went around the city and to a house party and had a great time and then fell asleep in the beach. The next day he said "that was one of the best dates I've ever been on" and it caught me off guard because I was just "hanging out", but if it had been a girl, it would have been a great date, and I thought "ok, sure, it was a 'date' with a guy friend and that's ok." It was a big step for me.

Apple has had a lot of oss code, either through having acquired oss tech or making their own code oss. Certainly not the majority of their code, but some.

They have 509 repos on GH https://github.com/orgs/apple-oss-distributions/repositories

They also own CUPS, which runs in lots of Linux distros https://www.cups.org/

I love the braided cables going up to the monitor. That is a rad aesthetic, much cooler than ribbons.

Networking Gear Recommendations? (starting from scratch)

Hi, I hope its appropriate to ask this here, considering this is the most active community closest to this topic (Networking). I am moving places shortly and will need to start from scratch will all networking equipment. Including router and wifi-extenders. Am wondering what the general consencus is around networking gear, what...

I have been using ubiquiti for years, and I would strongly caution against using them. They are forcing some devices to sign on to ubiquity cloud and synchronize with their cloud services, and are forcing those sign ins to use MFA. I really miss the ubiquity from 2020, where it was all local. Next time I upgrade my gear, I will probably not buy an ubiquiti router/gateway.

Also the upgrade process from Usg to dream router was awful. Also they don't let you run unifi in docker with a dream router, you are forced to run it on-device.

friend_of_satan ,

What router do you have? If it's a dream router, how did you join it to your unifi running in docker on another host?

friend_of_satan ,

Ubiquiti website says that dream router must run unifi.

https://store.ui.com/us/en/collections/unifi-dream-router/products/udr

*Consists of UniFi Network plus two of Protect, Access, Talk, or Connect.

friend_of_satan ,

Oh yeah, exactly. USG and aps and stuff do not. The dream router does, so I would caution against it.

Also, they may force it in the future. Their past behavior does indicate that direction.

This stuff about the price reductions after 4 years of blatant gouging is really freaking me out

I mean, that’s 4 years of our lives taken! 4 years of opportunities that were more challenging because they wanted a number on a computer to go up! 4 years of feeling worse than necessary about my finances and management of them and general personhood because i felt like i couldn’t afford anything because everything was...

It's basically the corporations hoping for something like "miniplenty malquoted chocolate rectify" and "It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday […] it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it."

friend_of_satan ,

If everybody was a cop we wouldn't need laws because it would be anarchy and nobody would ever be guilty.

friend_of_satan ,

An honest estimate, in the 25+ years I've been using the internet, I've probably clicked on things easily recognizable as ads on purpose less than 50 times. A lot of that was while shopping.

"A good bucket. A strong bucket. A humble bucket. A committed bucket. A bucket of culture and distinction."

In case anybody was unaware, here's some info about the Houthi flag:

The slogan of the Houthi movement (officially called "Ansar Allah"), a Shia Islamist political and military organization in Yemen, reads "God Is the Greatest, Death to America, Death to Israel, A Curse Upon the Jews, Victory to Islam"

Oh. My. God. Can fucking apps learn that when I say "block" and "less like this" I fucking mean it? Don't show me fucking anything about baseball, soccer, tennis, basketball, and especially not American football. I AM NOT YOUR TARGET AUDIENCE.

Also, I have to block a large fraction of my social feeds at certain times of the year because all they talk about are sports.

friend_of_satan ,

It's about fucking time!

friend_of_satan ,

What new concerns? All I see are preexisting concerns.

If the human eye doesn't see the train crossing, how a camera can see it?

If Elon Musk wasn't so anti-lidar then that would be the answer, but here we are.

When asked how he spent the time that he was supposed to be coming up with a new company name, their head of marketing replied "honestly, I spent the week sitting around holding my dick."

friend_of_satan ,

These motherfuckers can't run a public school and still want people to vote for them for public office where they will be in charge of running other public services?

friend_of_satan ,

Not me. I think popular implementations of social media are, but they don't need to be.

Also the internet is definitely not toxic because it's basically a set of protocols that can be used for innumerable things that aren't social at all. For example: the experience of using ftp to transfer a file has never been toxic.

friend_of_satan ,

Here's a great interactive guide to how cameras work. Pretty much every graphic on the page is interactive. https://ciechanow.ski/cameras-and-lenses/

Nobody should respond to that. It's the senders data set that's being polluted, not the receivers.

friend_of_satan ,

Who here is gathering the data? Certainly not the person receiving the text message.

I would just mark this shit as spam, but it's clearly intended to get a response through attacking people's political identity. It's manipulative and shady.

friend_of_satan ,

I see how that could be confusing, but in the context of this one screenshot, one party sent a message, and another received it, and there presumably was no reply.

friend_of_satan ,

And GOP politics.

Once when some friends and I had a hotel room to ourselves while their dad and his GF had a different room, I discovered that if you switched to the ppv channel and quickly started toggling the volume either up or down and continued doing this for 15-30 seconds, the channel would not scramble for about 5 minutes. You could then switch away and back and do the volume thing again.

Seriously. Pro-Palestinian so they'll let Trump win? Do they think a man who instituted a "Muslim ban" (Trump's own words) is going to side with them?

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

My go to for home servers for like 20 years has been used dell optiplexes. They are quite reliable, easy to find, pretty cheap, come in a few different standard physical sizes, and last a long time. The one thing they could do better at is energy efficiency. I spent a total of US $450 on the last two that I bought. I added an LSI HBA to one and it runs 4 HDDs in raidz1.

Is anybody honestly against single occupancy gender neutral bathrooms? I always took it to be a matter of multi-occupancy bathrooms.

What the ever living fuck? Why? For what good?

Will British Airways be required to have separate toilets for men and women on their planes? If not, what is the reason for the inconsistency? If it's allowed on an airplane, why is it not allowed on the ground?

friend_of_satan ,

obviously

If I've learned anything from the past 8 years of politics, it's that nothing is obvious.

friend_of_satan ,

Well no shit. Have you seen these insurance policies?

It's like this: anybody who thinks they like their insurance policy isn't using it.

I've blocked over 1000 communities.

friend_of_satan , (edited )

All things I'm not interested in that tend to fall into these categories:

  • hyperlocal geographies
  • sports
  • specific games
  • specific hobbies
  • programming languages and other technologies
  • porn
  • meme groups about subcultures I'm not a part of
  • shitposting
  • subs where it seems everything is cross posted to another sub
  • pretty much all music subs (i'm not here for music)
  • pretty much all video subs (i'm not here for videos)

Edit: I've probably also blocked a handful of obscurely named subs that have no description or shit descriptions. Like a sub called grobslafup and the description is "everything related to grobslafup!" As if people know what the obscure thing is but don't know that a sub titled after it is going to be related to it. 🙄

I had an office with a few of these canvas triangles high up above us below a bunch of high windows and it was beautiful! The way the window shadows hit the canvas and the way they shaded each other made beautiful diffused light and interesting shadow shapes.

If somebody had put vegetation on them the whole experience would've been worse.

I also loved it afterwards, but I loved it until then too.
