When I was a wee kid, I thought that scene from the Matrix where Morpehus explains that humans destroyed the whole damn planet just to maybe slow down the machines was stupid.

I mean if you block the sun, we’re all going to fucking die, why would you do something that stupid?

Yeah, well, the last few years has shown that actually at least half the people on the planet would be pro-kill-everything, even if that includes themselves.

So really, this take isn’t remotely shocking anymore.

Hey Elon! Do it! You want to! You have the money!

Buy Reddit!

(It’d be the funniest damn thing.)

Question: how is LinkedIn useful to you?

For me it’s just a non-stop swarm of recruiters from India who want me to kindly listen to their offer of a job that pays less than I’d make picking up garbage, utter sociopaths dredging up some psychotic hustle culture nonsense, and previous people I’ve worked with/for asking for favors, which of course means free.

Is it somehow more useful for an actual business?

I wouldn’t argue with the dude; he’s got a clear case of bad-faith-itis. What you did was bad, so you shouldn’t have done it, but no I won’t tell you how to fix it.

The absolute best you could have done is cross-posted to a Mastodon/Bluesky/whatever account as well, but you can’t just always go around yanking the rug out underneath communities especially if you’re in a position where it’s not just lazy shitposting and worthless commentary.

…that said, you have moved anything you can to being posted somewhere in tandem riiiiiiight?

Very very little. It’s a billion tiny little bits of text, and if you have image caching enabled, then all those thumbnails.

My personal instance doesn’t cache images since I’m the only one using it (which means a cached image does nobody any good), and i use somewhere less than 20gb a month, though I don’t have entirely specific numbers, just before-lemmy and after-lemmy aggregates.

Huh.

Usually when I run into that I just bounce the Portainer container and it sorts shit out.

Maybe that’s actually causing the tokens to rotate/expire and thus doing the same shit?

Taking a 10% haircutcut?

They must really really want that shit dumped the fuck off their books.

You say poor opsec, I say free advertising.

Would anyone in this thread have paid ANY attention to this movie otherwise?

Cloudflare tunnels are the thing you’re looking for, if you’re not opposed to cloudflare.

You run the daemon on your local system, it connects to cloudflare, and presto, you’ve bypassed this entire mess.

So uh, just a friendly suggestion: don’t leave any battery in any computer stored anywhere for any length of time.

If you’re storing anything (expecially if it’s somewhere that’s going to be subject to extreme heat/cold, or humidity or whatever) longer than a couple of months, you should probably be yanking the battery out, because even newly made ones will leak given the right circumstances and enough time.

I’d love to know what the death percentage needs to be for it to go from ‘fake news’ to actual problem.

I’d say there’s probably NO amount of deaths that could possibly cause that for those people.

Amused that the ‘This is private! You no hack!’ banner nonsense isn’t a dead thing yet.

Life protip: the bots scanning your shit will absolutely not care, and shockingly, criminals will also absolutely not care.

Oh look, a patent troll.

At least they’re going after two of the most valuable companies on the planet, and not shitting on a bunch of little startups, I guess.

You’d think the mods would want to remove shit like that because what in the fuck, but I guess not?

I did my research, too. I watched three Youtube videos about it, and concluded it’s clearly a fraud.

Good. He’s unquestionably responsible, and deserves to rot.

I’d ask what kind of fucking idiot buys their kid a gun AFTER the FBI shows up to investigate them threatening to shoot their school up and then leaves it unlocked where the kid can access it, but well, we already know the answer there.

Listen, snow is just weather. And as we all know weather isn’t climate. It’s not called global weather change. So, clearly, fake news.

(/s for the love of god, /s!)

It is, but he’s also known for not using social media at all which I’m sure makes him the right person to have an opinion we should listen to.

Probably not.

Republican’s new motto: When the least you can do is too much, just accept it’s a fact of life.

That’s a pretty great Fairphone ad, ngl.

And yeah, you shouldn’t be buying phones that are going to end up software-obsolete in 2 years. Manufacturers, you should really aim for at least 5, but more is better. You can do it!

And if you can’t, then maybe your business isn’t sustainable and you should consider something else, like running a lemonade stand or a kissing booth.
