No. Data is always better than no data. I’d love to know what illegal shit is in their databases and servers

Yeah, toddlers with access to the US nuclear arsenal
- Comment on Trump’s Pivot Toward Putin’s Russia Upends Generations of U.S. Policy 1 day ago:
Remember the times when Americans would even screech at the color red, let alone anything really Russian?
Pepperidge farm remembers. Hell, my 10yo remembers.
Most Americans are idiots that just parrot whatever their great Republican leader says
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 day ago:
Yeah no, this will be long term
First trump term, him fucking over all allies is something the allies could forgive. Second time, not so much. Allies now know they can’t rely on the US to be a trustworthy ally.
Trump already destroyed all soft power, he wants to reduce military spending by 50% too, so hard power will be down the drain as well.
Then he’s destroying the economy, he increased highcorruption like there is no tomorrow, he is destroying education and he is destroying all oversight on companies
He’s working hard on destroying democratic institutions too so forget fair elections, as if the US ever had any.
IMHO, the US will never recover from trump, and that is what it deserves. It always had the great chance to be truely great but it fucked itself around every corner trying to please the rich

Aaarrr, really? Now what is one supposed to doaaaarrr?
- Comment on What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM? 4 days ago:
I have 64 and am about to upgrade to 128GB
I run windows in a VM. Nothing heavy, just to test some things on the shitty windows systems
I run multiple databases, MySQL, PostgreSQL, redis, MongoDB, memcached, all with extra memory available, for development
I run a large array of services directly and in docker containers. Transmission web, the ARR suite, jellyfin, next cloud, immich, onlyofffice, various PHP apps, the list goes on.
8GB is the bare minimum if you only browse 16GB Is the bare minimum if you also run other apps 32GB Is a good amount to work with 64GB is a requirement if you do development or have a lot of services 128GB is a normal amount for a developer
- Comment on Trump Suggests No Laws Are Broken if He’s ‘Saving His Country’ 4 days ago:
I too can detonate nukes over a city if I say it is to save the country, it would not break any laws whatsoever!
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 6 days ago:
Elin musk is a (criminal) scammer, he always has been.
He was fired for incompetence from his own company
Pretty much everything he’s promised for every company he has headed had been a lie. Tesla full self driving? Lie. Hyperloop? All lies to successful kill high speed rail and start a movement that wasted billions of dollars including tax payer money. Even SpaceX, the least shit of all, is shit. Once you really look at it, its all promises with no results and lots of cheering when millions of tax payer dollars -yet again- blow up in the sky.
The guy has one quality: convincing people that he’s smart even though he literally doesn’t know shit
- Comment on Venezuelan Migrant Sent to Guantánamo Bay Is ‘Not a Criminal,’ Family Pleads 1 week ago:
I’m sure pretty much all of them are innocent
I’m sure that by random chance a few of them may be gang members, but that’s what happens if you pick up a random group of people. Most will be perfectly fine and nice people, a few will be bad.
That does leave the thousands others that are innocent and are now being put in terrorist jail cells. Well, cells designed for terrorists anyway, a good amount of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay were innocent too yet spent decades there
What a fucking shit show is the US
- Comment on State Department Revises Plan to Buy Armored Teslas 1 week ago:
Well Elmo musk can’t sell his Tesla anymore now that people have realized they’re shit and well, you know, the Nazi thing, so now that he is the dictator or the US, how better to give himself some money by telling the government to buy Tesla’s?

All hail potholer54! The guy is awesome
- Comment on Ye Takes Back Apology and Calls Himself a Nazi in Social Media Rant 1 week ago:
Shit, neo Nazis are cool now? Let me quickly call myself a nazi, again, maybe I can get some attention
- Comment on what if another country staged a coup in the US and deposed trump? 1 week ago:
With all their experience, the CIA should brew one up right now, the country could use it. Just for one in your life, though, try not to install another dictator, install an actual democratic government, as this country really never has had one
- Comment on It really is like this 2 weeks ago:
Agreed, though a lot of these things are also just a result of it’s government
- Comment on Who's going to watch departure times on the departure board? Let's use it for ads! 2 weeks ago:
It should be legal to just spray paint over information boards that, instead if actual information, show shit ads.
- Comment on To whomever invented LED bus advertisements: I despise you. 2 weeks ago:
In Mexico they have 10 x 30 meter (say, 30 by 100 foot) led billboards that you can literally see 10 kilometers away.
Fuck. Everything. About. That.
Those should just “accidentally” get painted
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Most maga voters had their head in the sand, they have always had their head in the sand, it’s the only way for them to live. Ignore reality, pretend that your make belief world where racism is fine, jeebus can take the wheel, miracles exist, and trump is the new jeebus
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
What is the problem with that?
If talking to people is a problem for you then I’d argue that you’re the problem, not obine calls. Not meant in a mean way, just saying that if you’re not able to have a normal conversation with another human being, you maybe want to look into professional mental health support
- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 2 weeks ago:
Yet I get down voted.
Doesn’t matter, I treat everyone the same, I don’t give a shit about your skin color, your gender, your sexual preferences (and please, I don’t need to know your sexual preferences when you introduce yourself to me), or anything like that. I’ll treat you with respect.
Would be nice that lemmings and the rest start applying rules equally. Racism is racism, not “racism is racism unless it’s against a white person”
- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 2 weeks ago:
He quite literally said “I’ll stop hiring white people”
Let’s try this: " I’ll stop hiring black people". That’s pretty racist, right? I fully believe that, and I’d never say or do that.
So if that is racist, it is also racist if it’s against white, yellow, brown or green for all I care. Racism is racism, please stop with the “racism is okay against whites because they have power” bullshit.
If you want to kick against those in power, go right ahead. If that means you’ll mostly mock against white people because most people in power are white people, fine! If you start kicking against ALL white people because of that, you’re the exact same type of racist as the ones liking to dress up as a ghost.
Seriously, why do I even have to explain racism? I grew up being taught that were all the same, no matter color, wee-wee or pee-pee, who you decide to love, or even if you want to believe in imaginary sky people. Granted, that last one is hard for me because religions cause so much shit and it’s all about who’s imaginary sky person is real or not. But beyond religion, I treat everyone equal, I respect all.
Why is it so goddamn much to ask that rules are applied equally to all?
- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 2 weeks ago:
Uh huh, and that is your excuse for being okay with racism?
Because that is what that was, LITERALLY. It’s the classic “it’s only bad if they do it, it’s perfectly fine when we do it” scheme and it’s tiring
If you want to be against racism, then be against racism. If you want to be able to be racism against white people, because “insert reasons they sound good in your head” then that’s fine, but at least admit you’re just a racist too.
- Comment on US Department of Labor to cease and desist all investigative and enforcement activity under rescinded Executive Order 11246 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, right?
- Comment on It really is like this 2 weeks ago:
Oh I have zero issues with all the beautiful cultural qualities of China, just as I don’t have that with any culture. I also have zero qualms with your average American (except the loud mouth “amuuurica fuck yeah!” types, those are insufferable)
I have big issues with the Chinese government, with the US government, etc.
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
I agree with that, and maybe that is the problem; I would pickup the home phone at home all the time, that no longer exists. Maybe it’s a “lost art”?
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve said this elsewhere but…
First DND is there to stop people from bugging you when you’re busy.
Second, people have been doing this for decades without problems, why is it a problem now?
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
But why?
Why is it so hard for you to talk to someone, to the point that it will negatively affect your health?
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
So then why are calls that bad?
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
Well yeah, because I need to talk to you
People have been doing this without problems for decades, why is it a problem now if it wasn’t 10-20 years ago?
- Comment on How did a simple phone call become so problematic? 2 weeks ago:
That is stuff that people have been doing for decades already.
I’m a developer (amongst other things) and when I’m busy I need 20-30 mins too to get in the stream of thoughts. I simply close the door, puty phone on DND, and I’m off.
Messages are just as distracting as phone calls
