  • but if your home is uninhabitable, insurance should pay for any accomodations while you are waiting for your home to be fixed.

    Bold of you to assume that any insurance company will keep operating in wildfire interface areas within the next 5 years. They've already been cancelling tens of thousands of policies in California over it and it's coming to your area next.

    Reminder that insurance companies are in the business of collecting premiums, not paying out coverage. They will fuck you over at a moment's notice no matter how long you've paid into their system.

  • I always hate the auto greeting and avoid the one McDonalds near me that uses it. 90% of the time it finishes with "we are ready to take your order!" But everyone on the other end is busy because theyre understaffed, and won't actually take your order if you just blurt it out and then you gotta restart anyway.

  • It may "stick" but it will not be a molecularly interlocked layer. The transition layer will be extremely weak and may snap right off if you handle it at all.

  • Yeah, that's kind of the problem with soulseek- obscure servers that have the unusual stuff sometimes aren't online all the time, and there's often so much stuff on there with poor tagging that filtering thru the chaff can be difficult. Still, it's basically the best way to find music these days, so it was worth a shot.

  • As far as security goes, 1 open port and 1000 open ports contain basically the same level of risk exposure to the internet- a hole will always be a hole. If you need to open a few more for rustdesk, just do it, and be diligent about your firewall rules.

    I've used VNC inside my LAN before with decent results, and it doesn't break graphics drivers like windows RDP does. However, not FOSS.

  • Wait you guys get to rest?

  • No clue, cause my instance has downvotes disabled and idgaf lol

    Probably corporate bootlickere, why there are so many who feel like they need to defend the huge game companies I have no idea...

  • Socket erroe? Sound more like your specific VPN is broken and not a soulseek problem. Fix the VPN, change providers, whatever.

  • Ubisoft does the Ubisoft thing - nothing new under the sun.

    Refund, refund, refund. The only single thing they will ever care about is the $.

  • I'd almost guarantee someone on SoulSeek has some super weird formats in their folders somewhere.

  • It likely will be. The Linux kernel supports a surprising number of devices.

    If your camera supports removing the SD card then you have a for-sure guaranteed way of getting data out of it. Built in card readers are typically much faster than USB2.0 anyway, and USB3 universal ones are cheap.

  • I have a very old GoPro Hero 3 Black. It exposes itself as a MTP device to any Linux install I've used and have no problems getting videos off it.

    It doesn't really have any other features than that, other than WiFi viewing which is only available via their android app anyway, so i don't care.

    I use it for car and offroading stuff.

  • More like he left us in a car with the a/c running and a bowl for food and water, but we chose to piss in our food, take a shit in the water, then siphon the gas tank into the interior and set it on fire

  • Aside from hard science and engineering degrees where the technical knowledge is a foundation for what you'll learn in industry, a college degree is simply a piece of paper that says "I received a balanced education and have my life together enough to focus, manage time, and complete tasks reliably for 4 years straight." Rarely do you ever use most of the knowledge you gained in college besides the aforementioned life management skills.

  • This just in- being able to hurt your enemy from farther away than they can hurt you conveys a large tactical advantage. More at 11.

  • IIRC the join page is largely automated and simply scrapes active but "small" instances, other than instances that have been asked to be removed from it due to load issues (such as lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc). The devs probably don't even know its up there. Hopefully this gets their attention.

    I'm going to preemptively warn my admins about them and ask for defederation though. Don't need that shit creeping in.

  • Oh yeah. I've lived it and breathed it... a few times. Cleaning up a ruined house fucking sucks and it's expensive too. Makes me wonder how some people stay alive with how quickly they wreck stuff.

  • Management companies typically take a percentage of the monthly rent (can vary wildly from 8% up to 25%+). This also means they have a vested interest in increasing a building's rent by the maximum legally allowed amount every single year, because it means they make more without doing additional work.
