• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where did the conspiracy theory that America was behind 9/11? Was there any evidence to back up these claims (real evidence)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it is known (or at least it should be) that a false flag attack on civilian targets to rally the population against an enemy is not beyond the US government. Not saying 9/11 was, just that there is reason for suspicion imo

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good offer! Which one should I pick?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks like OP is on a 24 month plan that I assume is expiring.

  That’s why it’s annoying, OP is most likely on a plain monthly plan, and to get the same price they need to pay for 2 years upfront. That’s 120€. And this amount is not written even in small print.

  Also I looked it up and it’s 70% off for me, at “2.99€” (72€ for the first 24 months then 84€/12mo). So dynamic pricing bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good offer! Which one should I pick?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m mad because it used to be great years ago. You could pick a specific tier for each service, so you could get the top mail tier and the middle VPN one for example, plus some features were optional add-ons independent of the plan. It was really modular and transparent

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trail reviews are so silly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Good strat, trails are not businesses so lowering their average rating doesn’t harm anyone - will just lead to less people there so you can enjoy it more lol

  Why is this on shitpost, as a cross post from /c/shit? Lmao

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨End of an era?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you tell us how creators such as yourself want to use HEVC at 30p so we can provide feedback to our design team?

  I just want to fucking choose what I want without having to provide a “user story”!! I HATE uber-market-optimized software and products, give me fucking settings instead of trying to guess for me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do tires have the width and diameter they do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A low center of gravity is more stable than a high one.

  Gyroscopic effects do exist on bikes but they are not the main source of stability - it’s the fork geometry, which tends to straighten the handlebar

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Been about a week⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll explain it to you:

  This post literally has “bait” in the title. If you’re looking for proper discussion, you’re going to have a bad time.

  First time I’ve seen “idler”, I get the meaning from context but does anyone have more historical info?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d bet money an update will fix it. Why don’t you update regularly?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After updating CachyOS, I am unable to play games as easily as before. How do I fix it?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you updated since then or didn’t for fear of making it worse?

  The average internet user 15 years ago was creative and social, now it’s a consoomer of content

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I love houses that trap heat! /s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Cold places usually have giant windows to let more sunlight in. You can definitely optimize for heating or cooling efficiency

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And it is especially true in the digital age. States made some sense centuries ago when direct democracy was limited by the speed of communication, but why should we be following those same models of government that were made when you could only communicate as far as you could shout or a horse could take you now that I am talking to you, random human somewhere?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really can’t see how you draw a connection from digital technology using binary to binary thinking, and learning computer science has the exact opposite effect. It teaches you to be analytical and break down problems into workable solutions, approach things from multiple perspectives, searching for the most elegant solution, etc.

  People who study CS are usually strongly on the left. Techbros went to business school, not tech school.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what was wrong with my old widget?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been quite satisfied with Tidal for years, except for the exact thing you’re mentioning. It got a lot worse in the last year, and it happened to some pretty popular bands too, like Muse. Someone is uploading “albums” with a literal Gemini watermark on them under their name and they take months to get taken down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is an SSH key useful ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  More secure and more convenient than passwords. If you are exposing SSH to the internet, you really shouldn’t have password authentication enabled

  It is PXE in every sense

  netboot.xyz grabs them from HTTPS with cert validation afaik

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I default to on, and turn it off if I need something that is blocking me and there’s no workaround.

  Although the traffic itself is protected, I find the signal of «I am doing something “secret” right now» to be best avoided both for passive metadata collection as well as active correlation attacks reasons; as well as to avoid leaks by clicking some link or just loading an image from some server that might be more “revealing” than I’d like. I’m not talking about anything super spicy, for example just by being a Lemmy user the image hosts you see more can depend on the comms/instances you use the most often - a pretty small segment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the deal with IPv6?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  On the LAN side sure, but I don’t think many people would make a public website/webapp “true single stack”. If there’s a network appliance “terminating” the IPv6 connection and “NATting” it over IPv4 that’s a terrible hack that is even worse than not having it at all imho

  Unless you’re talking about the link-local fe80 addresses, but those are basically sparkly MAC addresses
