  • At some point you need to take responsibility for your insecurities and work on moving past them rather then expecting society to placate you. Languages evolve, so if your end goal is gender equality (or even if its not), the best thing you can do is accept that words are context sensative and “dude” and “guys” can be neutral terms.


  • How is simplex going to turn a profit for the people who’ve currently invested in it? This is why things get enshittified, they have vulture capitalists helping them start out and no one thinks about it till one day it comes time to pay the piper and features start getting broken, ads get shoveled in, and unless enough money is generated the app will eventually fail.

    I hope simplex finds a way to go non profit, until then I can’t trust their business model to not shift in the future.


  • Lot of people confusing a redundancy with backups. My backup server is currently doing its part providing main services due to a bad RAM stick causing all sorts of chaos before I figured out it was the root cause.

    I normally have all my dockers backed up and not running but ready to startvon the second server. Most of my data is from sailing the seas and so it can be restored by the ARR stack fairly well. I do backup a few key things like my PGP keys and keepass but the chances of all 5+ of the systems I’m actively using failing all at once is pretty minimal.




  • What’s wrong with Opus and flac? I’ve never understood this whole lossy audio format wars when none of them offer anything besides a bizzword salad of “features” that maybe a handful of audiophiles might pretend they can notice.

    “3D sound” ooh sounds fancy! I remember my boombox in the 90s had a feature with the same. Have they run out of Buzzwords or somthing… 3d, VR, HDR, I swear they’ve been reinventing the same shit for 30 years.
