Someone with too much time and server space who decided to host a couple things because reasons.

Basically small chips pulled off rather than cut off. I might have gone with a finer tooth saw, but not master carpenter to speak to that part.
- Comment on Neo(Nazi)Liberals 4 weeks ago:
You’ve been around here long enough to know that ‘neolib’ gets thrown out for anyone this side of Stalin. Trying to equate the term with these sociopaths isn’t going to work.
- Comment on Neo(Nazi)Liberals 4 weeks ago:
Oh yeah, very liberal there with the whole demanding people conform to their ways, controlling women’s bodies, declaring DEI and the very concept of large swaths of the LGBT invalid, deporting everyone not white and Christian they can…
Totally owning those shitlibs am so right?
- Comment on Oops, something went wrong! 4 weeks ago:
Most common place I see those is when the site doesn’t want to talk to a known VPN endpoint. Like another mentioned site owners don’t want to given any more info to what they perceive as a possible threat than needed, so they just give a generic failure page.

The way the maga crowd hates Disney lately for being ‘woke’ pissing them off might encourage pushing a rule like this through.
- Comment on What could cause one to randomly twitch? 5 weeks ago:
Closest thing I can say to that is when I’m in a sort of half sleep state I’ll have a reaction if I happen to dream/think of stepping off something and try and catch myself in real life. Essentially the brain playing tricks on my body.
- Comment on I'll show them 2 months ago:
Haven’t personally looked at the dev tools too much, but even if they come from the same domain, of the path had a unique pattern when it’s ads vs content you could use a decrypting proxy. I don’t know if the PS4 can install a custom certificate or proxy settings, the intercepted cert would possibly cause problems, but it may be possible.

You ever heard the noise a small personal drone makes? Multiply that a few times over flying over your house routinely. That surely wouldn’t get annoying.
- Comment on FediMeteo - The Weather Forecasts comes to the Fediverse 3 months ago:
Why tho?
What’s the use case for a ActPub based weather info service that wouldn’t be adequately addressed by a basic API on an existing service?

- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 3 months ago:
For me a lot of it is in trying to maximize efficiencies. Setting up task duties and resources where you have plenty enough but not overloading your storage. Defensive position designs to counter any possible situation. Layouts to the base to allow free movement.
Lot of others try for specific artistic ideas or scenario goals, but I’m something of engineer minded player.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 3 months ago:
Rimworld, way too much Rimworld. A big part of it is that I’ll often have it one a second computer during the workday just on pause to pop in during downtime but I guess that still counts as playtime just being loaded.
- Comment on Time is an unstoppable force 3 months ago:
I mean it’s technically not wrong. I’m 46 was born in 98, also in 88, and 78 as well.
- Comment on Roskomnadzor sent an abuse report to Hetzner regarding @Bellingcat account on mstdn.social fedi instance 3 months ago:
Pretty simple simple ‘castle & moat’ setup. Lots of firewall, IPS, dynamic threat, etc around it with separate subnets and all the usual biz. My ISP doesn’t use CGNAT so I’m lucky that way, though they did question WTF I was doing last I made a service call to them based on the bandwidth usage.
- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 3 months ago:
That’s a big part of the appeal of the fediverse for me. Setting up a personal site used to be fairly easy, but was largely isolated and unidirectional. With the AP protocol, and frankly a lot of self-hostable apps in general these days, you can make something to converse with the whole globe and you don’t even need to make a big effort to help people find it.
Webrings still exist, but finding them is less than trivial when they get drowned out by the noise of corporate sites. I’ve used IRC within the last year, but had to look up the proper use of nicserve commands. The old web mentality is still out there, but for the major part people want simplicity. Few want to go through the learning curve to deal with some of the more esoteric parts of it when they can just auth into a site and do a thing.

I tend to find the R820 behind me to be a pretty reliable host so long as you don’t mind footing the power bill to run it.

Don’t know about them, I had The Matrix come to mind though.

Pretty sure that’s the type you’re supposed to be able to shape and bend with your mind
- Comment on Charities of Employees from "non-profit" I was going to donate too 4 months ago:
Was put to me at a young age that non-profit only means they spend any revenue they get before it gets to the bottom line to show up as a gain or loss. Always good to sort out the shady from the legit.
- Comment on Elon Musk asks court to block OpenAI conversion from nonprofit to for-profit 4 months ago:
So is sounds like effectively his donation was supposed to force them to stay open and develop tech on the cheap that he could then take to use in his commercial systems.

But didn’t they already have a popup window asking if they’re old enough? That should have fixed it already.

Sometimes it’s ok to just have some curious/silly news without it being used as an opportunity to remind people how terrible they are…
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 months ago:
I didn’t mean that you where, but if the Latino population shifted their votes more R this year it seems an odd explanation that they where offended by the democrats shifting right on policies. If that was the case then why would they go in with people who are even more to the right?
I think this whole question needs another field to it for the turnout difference. It may be (not to keep picking on Latinos but) they made up 5% in 2020 and 6% in 2024, but is that of all eligible voters, or of those that actually showed up? If 1/2 showed up last time and 1/3 did this time, but the ones who showed up where the more conservative portion then it would look like they ‘shifted’ right, but it wouldn’t be real.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 months ago:
So the solution to not liking the democrat shift right is to join in with the side off the scale right? I’m not following the logic there…
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 months ago:
Do some rough math say there are 200,000,000 total eligible voters.
2024 would have 12,000,000 male Latino voters 2020 would have 10,000,000 based on the 3rd column
Even if 100% went left to right at most you have a 12M shift.
That shift though in absolute numbers was far less than that though based on the R/D split, so not a tremendous impact over all.
There was just a lot less people showing up over all for any reason.
- Comment on Would Kamala Harris have won the 2024 election if Latinos didn't shift hard to the right? 4 months ago:
Need some titles on those columns. I’m guessing red/blue are the usual party colors, but what is the 3rd?
The biggest factor really is disengagement. There where millions who where involved in 2020 that just skipped out this time.

They did make a brief mention of Mastodon, but like a lot of places made it sound a lot more confusing than it is.
Are there any well maintained indexes out there where you could put in a few check boxes of interests and it spits out an instance to join in fedi space yet?

Professional boxing keeps a running tally of wins via KO, if death by punch was that common I suspect it would be banned as a sport by now.

Huh, small rabbit hole there, wasn’t aware there was a special baby blood type. So basically someone who has the luck to have dodged what sounds like a super common virus all their life gets to have special uses for their donations.

Well these guys from Super Mario Galaxy would probably look pretty round from the side I guess.
