  Can I introduce you to the concept of “fire” :D

  A single bitflip wiping your novel is incredibly unlikely, to the point of being almost impossible. Modern OSs and filesystems are fairly resilient, and the data is likely all still there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how to dust properly⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damp cloth to capture the dust? Or a strong vacuum to capture it once airborne?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hypothetically, if your were a kid and your parents worked for a government intelligence agency, how would you keep secrets / have privacy from your parents?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Even in the US it would be punishable. Morality aside, using a billion dollar NSA malware on a person carries a real risk of getting caught. The NSA might be willing to wear that risk for a high value person, but not for some employees kid.

  Purely on a misuse of a valuable asset it would be punishable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We always seen/heard/read about dumb criminals. Has the opposite ever been true a smart criminal? Not including that white collar crap?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  A truly smart criminal wouldn’t get caught. So you could argue any of the unsolved crimes were “smart”. But equally likely that they were just lucky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I properly and safely clean smartphone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some fine point tweezers are usually useful for getting lint out of the USB port, I have done it fairly aggressively and not done any damage yet.

  That is awesome!

  Discord and IPO is like the knight running at the castle clip from Monty Python.

  Constantly coming soon, but not arriving.

  “It stops you and a ranger”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, most HSVs have been wrapped around light poles, so that crowd moved on to rangers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point, that could certainly break up the monotony :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Probably a little less exciting, would be 1hr of people failing to reverse park, or slowly backing into light poles :D

  I’ll beleive that. Rude of them not to say hello.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread 🎉 Thursday 1 January 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think so, it was more like a line of cloud, not a thin streak. Almost like a skywriter left a trail

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread 🎉 Thursday 1 January 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not moving like a laser normally would. And I dont recall seeing starlinks leaving a semi-permanent streak?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Discussion Thread 🎉 Thursday 1 January 2026⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anyone know what the long white line in the sky is?

  Image

  Best photo I could get, but its a long straight white line, very narrow. I dont think I’m having a stroke, my partner can also see it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think Google execs keep a secret un-enshittified version of their search engine and LLM?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I dont think any of these tech execs (all execs?) use their products. They all have assistants to do everything for them, so they have no idea what this whole “internet” thing is, other than it makes them money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pfft, dont need to pay damages if you bankrupt yourself financing the ranger. Ranger smarts taps temple

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats because it is. The Ranger Danger special.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Interesting ad campaign by Ford⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks like the Ranger ran the red light, based on it being a ranger - FIxed it for you :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting with an old laptop⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  1. Yes, lots of people do this. Good idea to remove the battery if possible, or you’ll have a spicy balloon eventually.

  2. VPN (or cloudflare tunnel) is not a bad idea, but its not essential either, my server is publically exposed, and it largely isnt a problem. I only expose port 443 and some specific random high ports though. I wouldnt expose 22 to the internet.

  3. Keep SSH, just dont expose to the internet, its always nice to have multiple ways into a box, incase one is hung or something.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  To address the edit, I think part of the US’s problem is that you are already on the slope, and have been for a while. Violence has been normalised and accepted (and legalised as you’ve pointed out). I’d like to beleive you can reverse course, but it certainly doesnt seem likely.

  I dont have any answers for you or op, but if it were me, I would focus on the defence and protection of my family/community first, rather than searching for retribution. I know that sounds hollow and empty though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can definitely place people above the line so to speak, but I dont think I could draw an objective one-size-fits-all line.

  Humanity is a continuous spectrum from people living in extreme poverty up to the one percent, and its very hard to find any clean delinineation that I would be comfortable drawing the line through.

  And the other problem is that the definition of that line would vary wildly from person to person.

  If I’m honest with myself, I live in a well off first world country, that in of itself means that I am indirectly responsible for a non-zero amount human suffering in other parts of the world. It doesnt necessarily make me black and white evil, but to someone in one of those parts of the world, they definitely might see it that way.

  I’m happy with death as a penalty for certain acts of evil, but I would want it to be the exception, not the rule. Everytime someone is death-row’d, we should all be unanimously sure that its the right thing to do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Firefox will have AI kill switch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We dont want a kill switch, we want an on switch. Dead by default. How are they struggling with the as a concept?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You used so many subjective terms in that description. You can draw the line at a number, that is objective (but see tax evasion for how that works in practice), but “heavy worker exploitation” is entirely subjective.

  In my mind, most failing hospitality businesses fall into “heavy worker exploitation”, but many of them are owner by people who arent billionaires.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the moral jurisdiction behind not wishing who're rich and in executive positions to die?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol, that is definitely not true. You may have a list, it almost certainly doesn’t match everyone else’s list.

  And let’s say we complete your list. What then? If things dont improve, do we lower the bar and try again?
