  • You've just given a brilliant idea! Let's build server-client type of chat thingie.

    I propose naming it Internet Relay Chat!

    • But should you?

    • PassAndroid

  • I've been a big fan of this when I had a cineworld membership. Worked like a charm!

    • ways to watch a torrent while it's downloading?

    Jump

  • Deluge is another client that supports sequential downloads. It's my personal favourite because it's also built on a client-server model, so I can have thr client on all my devices connecting to a single server.

    • Ray tracing made possible on 42-year-old ZX Spectrum: 'reasonably fast, if you consider 17 hours per frame to be reasonably fast'

    Jump

  • Say you generated 86'400'000 frames. 17h a frame that's roughly 16'767 years.

    • AnyDesk says hackers breached its production servers, resets passwords

    Jump

  • Yay... :(

    • Wwyd if you were given a pocket dimension 3m cubed?

    Jump

  • As others have mentioned - I'd use it as a hotel room and travel the world. I wonder if becoming a courier could fund the travel costs.

    • Maryland bill would force gun owners to get $300K liability insurance to wear or carry

    Jump

  • So how much could such insurance actually cost? Does anyone have the numbers to do the maths?

    Say a single policy covers any number of guns a person has. So we need a number of people owning guns.

    A death is definitely 300k payout. What kind of payout, on average, would injury be? Also 300k because healthcare costs are insane? Less than that?

    How many people are killed using a gun every year?

    How many are injured?

    I wonder what the pure business cost would be for the insurance. I don't actually know how large a profit margin insurance companies run, would curious to sort of blindly apply that here as well.

    • The frequency and duration of ad breaks is beginning to make me feel like I’m in that black mirror episode where they had to pay to stop ads from constantly playing.

    Jump

  • You've got my attention, Mister! Thank you!

  • For anyone with toddlers who watch their cocomelon and the like when you just can't take it anymore - I've used yt-dlp to download some videos and just play it via plex. No ads, no tracking, no drama.

    • 23andMe’s fall from $6 billion to nearly $0 — a valuation collapse of 98% from its peak in 2021

  • I think it's a mobile user. On the web UI you get archive link suggestions automatically as a post creator.

    • How do you deal with the thought of having to work for 40+ years and then when/if you retire, you're too old to do much?

    Jump

  • It's funny and sad at the same time that you had to expand so much on your landlord duties. I'm sorry this network has preconditioned you to this point.

    Lemmy really has become an echo chamber of losers :(

    • Why I started Sublinks: A timeline of events

    Jump

  • Hey, I remember your issue with the latest tag! Shame I missed the spawn of sublinks.

    • Statement: Nextcloud stands for an open and free society - Nextcloud

    Jump

  • Probably. Germany is having a bit of a fever with a fsr right party.

    • Meta relents to EU, allows unlinking of Facebook and Instagram accounts

    Jump

  • I don't think that's how it works. Your location doesn't change based on the app you have installed/open/etc. Neither do your purchasing habbits. It would be a waste of storage and compute to collect, process and store the same data twice. And even if the engineers haven't bothered - at the end of the day it's still a single set of data.

    • Is it just me, or have the comments on Lemmy become extra aggressive over the past 3 months?

    Jump

  • Couple of things.

    • There's some quote about evil winning when good peeps do nothing
    • You need a thicker skin. Aim for a world where you don't, but this one requires it. Besides, it's the internet - fuck em.

    • My country/city has a new COVID wave. I got infected for the third time.

    Jump

  • No, it doesn't.

    • The name is the same, but the virus is much weaker.
    • We haven't found a way to eradicate it. I have more important things to worry about than something so futile.

    • Pico

    Jump

  • Reminds me of that recent post where this is the majestic cat, while that post OP's one is always a derp :D

  • Please don't. Join another instance, run your own, whatever. We need more canapés!

    • Open casting alternative (by Amazon?)

  • I didn't add it to any lists, but to the network interface itself. You know the output of ip a? The one pihole listens on (wg0 in my case, because wireguard) has something like, say, 10.0.0.1, but also 8.8.8.8. So when a DNS packet is spit out by chromecast to go to 8.8.8.8 UDP port 53 - my pihole happily answers that request. You could also do a separate unbound instance on a new virtual interface with a quad8 ip and just forward everything to pihole, if you fancy.
