Detroit: Become Human

It was the only story ever that has pulled me in completely. I wasn’t just playing it, I was living it. It took me 2 more days to come down to earth after finishing it.

What are the capitalists doing to prevent you from expressing artistically?

Of course security comes with layers, and if you’re not comfortable hosting services publically, use a VPN.

However, 3 simple rules go a long way:

1. Treat any machine or service on a local network as if they were publically accesible. That will prevent you from accidentally leaving the auth off, or leaving the weak/default passwords in place.

2. Install services in a way that they are easy to patch. For example, prefer phpmyadmin from debian repo instead of just copy pasting the latest official release in the www folder. If you absolutely need the latest release, try a container maintained by a reasonable adult. (No offense to the handful of kids I’ve known providing a solid code, knowledge and bugreports for the general public!)

3. Use unattended-upgrades, or an alternative auto update mechanism on rhel based distros, if you don’t want to become a fulltime sysadmin. The increased security is absolutely worth the very occasional breakage.

4. You and your hardware are your worst enemies. There are tons of giudes on what a proper backup should look like, but don’t let that discourage you. Some backup is always better than NO backup. Even if it’s just a copy of critical files on an external usb drive. You can always go crazy later, and use snapshotting abilities of your filesystem (btrfs, zfs), build a separate backupserver, move it to a different physical location… sky really is the limit here.

I do love lego. Some things just feel wrong, though.

They took something I love, and made it into… no. Let me rephrase…

During the communist party reign, the artists producing undesirable art often ended up slaving in uranium mines. I think it’s time to revisit this tradition.

It’s frustrating, depressing and time consuming lifestyle.

Plug-in systems are built around a microinverter that feeds solar energy back into the home via a standard wall jack.

What the actual fuck?

The PowerStream has three proprietary ports: one that connects to your MC4 solar panels

Disqualified.

Pretty amazing… that apple allows access to the sensors, and provides an option to mirror the screen over HDMI! Given how touchy feely they were about openning the NFC stack, this is truly unbelievable.

So they will just milk it until it no longer resembles a cow. Understood.

And they managed to do it without us obsessing about their CEO several times a day? I refuse to believe that!

Stop using GNOME as default DE

No need to go as far. Just jail everyone working on Adwaita.

They always acted like the are the only ones in town, but while checking the spelling just now, the first result says “Adwaita (from अद्वैत, meaning “one and only” in Sanskrit)” The serious UX designers were a joke to them from the start.

making people concerned they are being bullied into always being signed into the service

So, the majority WANTS to see the political propaganda, endless livestream of chill music to relax and study to, a bunch of spoiled kids making faces, and something indistinguishably small being pointed at by a huge red arrow?

the fastest way to take PFAS down was to heat the “forever chemical” to boiling along with DMSO and lye, or sodium hydroxide

Is it even feasible to basically pre-boil the drinking water on such a large scale?

Is Xing your Zs bad for your Y? The answer may surprise you!

Does anybody even open articles like “N best X of YYYY!”, or “N things that will X your Z!”

“made contact” “towed improperly”. What a pathetic excuse. Wasn’t the entire point of self driving cars the ability to deal with unpredictable situations? The ones that happen all the time every day?

Considering the driving habits differ from town to town, the current approaches do not seem to be viable for the long term anyway.

Ethics? Who the fuck is ethics! /s

Growing Living Rat Neurons To Play… DOOM?

A Leaf Made of… Meat??

But seriously, the Thought Emporium is a great channel. If you wish to feel amazed and inspired, grab a drink, dial down the lights and binge a few videos in a row.

Leftists: Only the rich will get the longevity drugs!

Reality: Let’s give it to the dogs…

edit: And they fucking deserve it, after what we did to them by years of selective breeding!

Rabbit could order pizza for you, telling it “the most-ordered option is fine,” leaving his choice of dinner up to the Pizza Hut website.

I feel like we wouldn’t need the language model as a translation layer between 2 machines, if there were proper APIs everywhere…
