Thanks, I was about to suggest this too. Aegis is awesome. :) I can't understand why most banks sms a code instead of using something like this. It's insanity.

On one hand I have my personal firstname-lastname-dot-com I'm still hosting for years. I'm not a webdev but WordPress is awfully bloated and everything else needs a touch of webdev skills.

So it's been at "coming soon I'm working on it welcome to sample example theme page" for years, but hey it's indexing well based on age alone!

The other is a fun clever one I route through cloudflare to access all my home server stuff via HTTPS over TailScale. Never have to expose any ports to the big scary world wide web. :p

I like to think that glass is half-ass full.

Peggle fans stand with you likewise. :(

I'm not 100% sure I'm getting this one. Is emergency room coffee:

  • Super crazy strong because the staff's gotta commit to being so inhumanly wired at all times?
  • Heinously putrid because chaos doesn't allow for regular cleaning and replacement?

Wow thanks for the heads up on that! I kept getting tempted by that "Download" button thinking "No...it can't be that easy."

It's kinda amazing how much content uses existing content...so they quietly can't ruin downloading without tanking a lot of traffic.

Seriously believe even on Lemmy there's gonna be weaponized sockpuppets/bots that try to speak the language in order to discourage voting: "Oh if you're really based you'll just protest by staying home."

"You're a neoliberal shill if harm reduction is your strategy rather than overthrowing the system and rebuilding it into an enlightened paradise overnight."

I fancy myself an anarchist in ideals, but I'm sure as heck filling a ballot for Kamala so I don't have to start taking my "bugout country" plans AS seriously yet...

For a lot of reasons, but if the opposition wins, everybody who works for a living is gonna get waffle-stomped, and the only ones who will get stomped harder are those who can't work for a living.

We gotta play the hand we're dealt and deal with the biggest fires first...

What left-brain/right-brain not being drift-compatible does to a homie.

Now it's all AI written. Top 15 hits be like:

"Many are wondering why PC LOAD LETTER is displayed on their printer, and they would be right to ask this, because printer errors can be frustrating.

First let's start with the basics;

What is a printer?

Damn, it feels good to be a gangsta..."

Because the font was so similar with "Ad" I was instinctively rolling my eyes and scrolling past your comment before I realized it was a comment LOL.

Effective!

"Sir/Madam...this is 'memes'" is prolly why lol. It makes a good point tho.

Wouldn't mind those sweet tunes coming back though.

We've come full circle to downloading and running things with titles like:

"BMWaReZ_UnSUSSer+HeetSeeter-v4.20.69.appimage"

The Hated One has been pretty solid in the past regarding privacy/security, imho. I found this video of his rather enlightening and concerning.

  • LLMs and their training consume a LOT of power, which consumes a lot of water.
  • Power generation and data centers also consume a lot of water.
  • We don't have a lot of fresh water on this planet.
  • Big Tech and other megacorps are already trying to push for privatizing water as it becomes more scarce for humans and agriculture.

---personal opinion---

This is why I personally think federated computing like Lemmy or PeerTube to be the only logical way forward. Spreading out the internet across infrastructure nodes that can be cooled by fans in smaller data centers or even home server labs is much more efficient than monstrous, monolithic datacenters that are stealing all our H2O.

Of course, then the 'Net would be back to serving humanity instead of stock-serving megacultists. . .
