- Comment on What is a router ? 5 days ago:
It’s a device that cuts grooves into wood using cutting buts that come in a variety of different profiles. It’s good for making slots (e.g. mortises for mortise-and-tenon construction) as well as decorative details, such as chamfers, roundovers, and ogee profiles. You can also use a pattern bit to copy a cut-out shape with it.

There’s a better way that doesn’t even require a wizard.
Tap for spoiler
It’s Linux, and using a package manager.

Its an absolutely awful way of tackling the problem of sexting and cross sharing of nudes.
Almost as if that’s just an excuse and not the actual goal. 🤔

The only thing “conservatives” ever conserve, ever have conserved, or ever intended to conserve, is hierarchical power. Conservatism only happens to line up with “preserving that which currently exists” in the sense that, when conservatism was initially developed, the system that currently existed was monarchy.

they play everything up to ps1/dreamcast, n64 not so much though.
Wait, but Dreamcast is newer than N64. Did you mean Saturn or 32X, or is N64 weirdly hard to emulate for some reason?
the R36S clones on Aliexpress, i got one on sale for ~€22.
Is there anything to watch out for, other than price (and maybe avoiding paying extra for a bigger SD card, if they’re unreliable anyway)? Do ones from different sellers have different software? Should I worry about trying to avoid malware, or just assume I’m going to want to wipe the thing and re-flash as soon as I get it, or what?
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
I want to get something with a physical D-pad and buttons off Aliexpress or whatever, but I have no idea how to sort through all the random no-name choices. The only other criteria I have is that I want it to be fully Free Software with no malware and the best value for money I can find.

Does that mean you can use IP6 to connect despite CGNAT, or do the ISPs that use it tend to firewall off the IP6 connections anyway?

- Comment on If only the person who did this ceiling had their tools even half as well calibrated as I do 4 weeks ago:
A shoe molding is thin enough that it could bend and wouldn’t need to be scribed (which is the point of it). It would effectively hide the imprecision, but it would diminish the modernist aesthetic.

cut straight.
Well there’s your problem! Unless you’re prepared to skim coat and flatten the ceiling, you’ve got to scribe your trim to it (and even then the result will be “less bad,” not “good”).
You can’t do trim on trim because it’s too much ornamentation for those modernist cabinets.
This is a perfect example of what folks often don’t understand about modernism: they think it should be cheap because it has simple shapes without fancy ornamentation, but they don’t realize the ornamentation his all the crimes. To do modernism right you have to have precision instead, and that actually costs more than fancy trim.
Frankly, the drywalled needs to be called back in, because he didn’t understand the assignment.
