  • I'd still take one for most stuff. 70MPH is the maximum speed permitted on the majority of the US interstate system, most US highways were limited to 55 until relatively recently (at least in along the East coast).

  • Do you signal before you observe what may or may not be where you are wanting to go? Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't signal until I've observed where I'm going and determined if it can be done safely. People driving for miles with their turn signal on make me worried (you can never tell if they are planning to go now, later, after their invited, or if they just forgot it was on).

  • I'm okay with servers being shut down eventually, my issue is we don't know when. If they want to call it a license and that it will be revoked later, well fucking plan it out and tell people. Did the game get cheaper as the clock ran down? Did the people buying 10 years of access pay more than people that only got to play it once? I'm pissed for the people like me that sometimes take a few years to get to playing their games only to find the servers are gone and they thought they were buying something (or at least licensing something) they would get to use.

    Of course they would probably find that if they told people how long they could use it, a lot of people wouldn't pay them for it (i.e. their business would fail without intentionally deceiving their customers).

  • You're technically correct, there is no law prohibiting a current or former president from driving, but there is a policy preventing it and it is enforced by the secret service (who follow them around for the rest of their life). Many former presidents have gone on the record that the lose of their driving privileges really sucks (Bush 43, Clinton, and Obama have all discussed it on camera during various interviews). It's been a policy since Kennedy was assassinated, lots of other policy changes too, but one was the no driving bit.

    And one just about some times they drove anyway:

  • A long, long time ago, at a helpdesk far, far away I "revived" a couple hard drives with a short drop. Never actually fixed them, but it's gotten a few to spin just long enough to retrieve some important emails or documents.

    I wouldn't recommend it, but sometimes you just gotta persuade stuff...

  • I was a fan of leaving the orientation normal, but moving the start bar and setting it to auto-hide. A long time ago I put a simple bat file (like "shutdown -l -t 0" or similar) in a coworkers startup folder... I guess that was a step too far though and he thought I broke his computer. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

  • I had the same experience, tried other stuff and eventually came back. Maybe I didn't have redis and Maria setup right before but it's much better for me this time around.

    Totally not saying that's what was up for you though, it's not for everyone.

  • Definitely host your own node! It's trivial for a server admin to add a hidden bot to every chat and while it's still E2EE, an unknown party could still have a copy and key to read it.

    Really good talk from DEFCON 32 about the service "Anom" by Joseph Cox (sorry for the lack of a link, at lunch, on mobile and about to get back to work).

  • Thanks for the explaination!

    That definitely sounds like it could be a nice upgrade depending on well it could be filtered (I could see that spidering out pretty quickly if the things you follow interact a lot). Definitely something I'll have to check out sometime, thanks again.

  • Honest question as I finally dusted back off my interest in RSS. With RSS I need to add the URL to my client and it periodically checks back to show me when new content is posted, does ActivityPub handle this differently? Like how does it know which sources to use without having to hunt down their AP feed and add it to a client?

    I could totally be missing something super simple or implied.

  • I'm not the guy you asked, but I self-host it because I like a couple of the features (like making an org for house stuff, and sharing that with certain family members), it's really awesome for OTP as well. I honestly don't know which features are the paid ones because I went straight to Vaultwarden as I knew I wanted it in house (physically) and Bitwarden didn't offer that.

  • 6 years is one hell of a run for OEM blades! Have you ever looked into silicon ones? While they cost more, they are completely silent and as they wear down they actually fill the minor imperfections in your windshield making it act like it's been covered in Rain-X or similar.

    I bought a Jeep a couple years ago and the factory ones came on and scared the shit out of me because I forgot normal blades make that sound.
