Lol, no. I have family members that actively called him a n****r while he was in office.
- Comment on It is very therapeutic to garden, though. 4 days ago:
Agreed, my wife and I had that conversation recently, as it happens. Though, for some things, there are other benefits. Herbs is the best example, even the fresh, packaged herbs that you can buy at a grocery will be noticeably not-as-good as something that you picked fresh in the backyard 2 minutes ago. Dill, basil, thyme, mint, what have you. I’ve found the same to be true of things like bell peppers and jalapenos.

- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 week ago:
Main difference there being that switching cities means probably switching ISPs. You can absolutely carry over your IP address when you move between the same provider, if that’s part of your service plan, and that may well happen with some ISPs even without it being part of your plan. There just isn’t really much of a need for people to carry a static IP, except for some businesses, and I’d say the main reason is that people don’t visit websites by memorizing and typing in an IP. They do memorize and type in phone numbers.
- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 week ago:
They do, it’s called an IP address.
Phones get numbers assigned to them by a cell service provider, in order to communicate on their network, which is basically the exact process for computers and IP addresses.
If you’re asking about the equivalent of like a SIM card, in the computer/internet world, that’s handled at higher layers, by digital certificates. And again, the process is almost exactly the same, except they don’t (usually) get put on physical chips.

I adore posts like these (the Factorio blog one, that is), that go into low level detail.
- Comment on Legend of Zelda 5 weeks ago:
Gotta be Breath of the Wild, for me. Taken together with Tears of the Kingdom, the series’ storytelling and immersion has never been better, I think, and as a game, Breath of the Wild was the tighter, more-satisfying experience, overall.

I say “almost certainly black” because kids as young as 12 were out on a downtown city street, unsupervised, at 11:36 p.m. the night before Easter;
Eeeeeat shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit.

Protip: don’t even engage with those systems. Just press 0. Every time it prompts you to say something to proceed. Has yet to fail me.

Why the hell is a professional tech business not relying almost-exclusively in ethernet, anyway?
- Comment on Security Technical Implementation Guides (STIGs) – DoD Cyber Exchange 2 months ago:
I would be wary of using STIGs as a reference point for good security practices. They are notorious for being poorly-enforced in the real world, and it stems from the fact that they are written too ambiguously. Getting STIG reviewed can have wildly different results just depending on the reviewer’s interpretation of the written text. I’ve seen this first-hand in my job, where we’ve gotten dinged on specific STIGS for code that hasn’t changed in a decade, just because a reviewer decided to interpret a STIG differently than others from the past. And trying to be pro-active about complying with STIG requirements ahead of time always boils down to arguments about “well, what does the STIG MEAN here?”

- Comment on Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age Rise at Last on Nintendo Switch Online - IGN 3 months ago:
I made a romhack at one point to increase all gained XP by 10x. Might still have it somewhere, and it’d be easy enough to adjust for reduced XP.
- Comment on Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age Rise at Last on Nintendo Switch Online - IGN 4 months ago:
The only thing I can think of not aging well by today’s standards is the level grinding. I recall having to do quite a bit of it my first time playing it, just to keep up with the difficulty curve, and it’s not like I was skipping all the sidequests. That was a fairly common aspect for RPGs of the era.

Fantastic work and fantastic results. Thank you for all your effort!
- Comment on Did the instance get updated to 0.19.1? 4 months ago:
I meant “before” as “when we were on 0.19.0”. Yeah, performance is still WAY worse than 0.18, but the changes that came with 0.19.1 are a noticabpe improvement over 0.19.0.
- Comment on Image uploads, federation delays, and performance 4 months ago:
Thank you for your time and effort. Best instance earns its status yet again. Happy New Year.
- Comment on Did the instance get updated to 0.19.1? 4 months ago:
A notice would have been nice, cause there was a bit of downtime, and then a few hours more of instability after coming back up.
However, as of now, for me, all the serious issues are resolved by 0.19.1, and the server performance in general seems to be a lot better than before" although there are still occasional timeouts in Jerboa.
Whatever the admin(s) did, it was effective and welcome. If you see this, thanks for your time and effort!

- Comment on Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma Doesn't Really Care About the Series' Chronology 5 months ago:
The majority if the reason it’s significant is that Nintendo MADE it significant, by releasing that “official” timeline tying all the gamrs together. Then, the made BotW with a whole bunch of direct and indirect references to this timeline, and events in previous games. Then TotK threw pretty much all of that in the garbage.

Picked up this game earlier this week, and I have been VERY impressed. I was expecting Power Wash Simulator, but in space, but the game is SO much more polished than that.

Excellent! I had a look at Monogame once and really liked what I saw. Only reason I didn’t stick with it was that it didn’t seem to have much maintenance weight behind it.
