What a marvelous testament to nature that this creature evolved to specifically mimic the adhesive medical strip so perfectly that I can’t even tell the difference.
- Comment on How do you communicate "sorry, my bad" when you make a mistake while driving? 1 week ago:
Just hit their car slightly with yours. You know, a love tap, to show them love and appreciation. Then show them your extended middle finger, signifying that you are standing with them in solidarity of thinking you’ve made a mistake. If you have a weapon with you, you can hold it up and show them to indicate that you are aware you could be perceived as a threat, but are making the effort to indicate that you aren’t.

Weren’t you also the Lead Safety Engineer at OceanGate for a while?

I was a manager at a RadioShack. And it was a franchise, so it’s even less verifiable (I think).

Though it’s not technically unique to Port87, I haven’t seen any other email service that lets you do it with simple toggles. Sieve is more powerful, but also harder.
- Comment on GOG giveaway: Alone in the Dark 1 week ago:
I could not possibly care less about GoG’s marketing emails. They all go into a Port87 label that is set to mark them as read and not notify me.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 1 week ago:
I’d love to play games like Fortnight, PUBG, and League of Legends (I know, don’t judge me), but they don’t work on Linux, so they’re just a no-go for me. I used to play GTA V Online, but they added kernel anticheat to that too, and now I don’t play that anymore.
I have Windows, but I’m not booting into another partition just to play a game. I use it for compiling my software for Windows users, and that’s already too much of a pain in the ass. I cannot stand Windows. It’s a bloated mess, and I don’t understand how anyone gets any actual work done on it. Just navigating it feels like a chore.

- Comment on Could a diffusion image model be used to "bake" slow operations like erosion to make them realtime? 1 week ago:
If it’s not a continuous function, it won’t tile across chunk borders, so we’d have to solve that. That might be solvable by using the current chunks as the outer edges of the image, but I can’t say for sure. Diffusion models don’t usually stay consistent when you do that.

Does Jellyfin not do transcoding? I’ve been using it with transcoding for almost two years, so if it doesn’t, man that’s gonna be quite the shock.
- Comment on What's up with "Plex Servers"? 1 week ago:
I prefer the term “dude”, but yeah, if you’re not on one, you just don’t have the right friends. It does take a fair bit of work, but I don’t really mind sharing the fruits if I’m doing it for myself anyway.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 2 weeks ago:
I would assume it’s because most of them are still children.

I wouldn’t trust Microsoft with pictures of my cat, and this is a perfect example of why.
- Comment on What are You Working on Wednesday 3 weeks ago:
I’m rewriting how my ORM, Nymph.js handles access controls. Right now, it stores the access control vars (user, group, permissions) in the same table as all of the other data, which makes the full text search slow because it has to join the tables multiple times. I’m moving those access controls into the entity tables where all the joins start from, so a simple index can handle that before it even joins the FTS tokens table.
The hard part is going to be migrating existing data in my email service that uses Nymph. It’ll be multiple steps: create the new columns, make sure new entities add that data to both the new columns and the old way, migrate all entities to have the data in both, update the queries to use the new columns and stop storing data the old way, then delete all the old data. It’ll be the opposite of fun, but hopefully once I’m done it’ll be way faster.

- Comment on I’m not saying that I agree with right- or center-wing views, and I do condemn transphobia. However, do you think there should be a distinction between critiquing beliefs held by transgender people, and engaging in transphobia? 5 weeks ago:
Idk, I’m just not interested in policing other people’s genders.

Don’t worry, that stupid decision will be his responsibility to pay for when his dad dies, and there’s nothing he can do about that.

Giving them the benefit of the doubt, I would think it’s to resist corrosion, but there are plenty of cheaper metals to plate with that don’t corrode, so even that’s a stretch.

It’s probably be worth way more than 500k. I meant what they paid for it back then would only be like 350k today, despite the house being worth millions.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
That would be at least $350k in today’s money.
