Oh. I was joking. I’m aware that my storage capabilities really are an outlier, even though I still feel inadequate whenever I go to a hoarding community.

I’ve spent around 1200$ USD since I started collecting things back on 2021, which is about 300/year, or 25/month. I don’t expect to purchase anymore for another three years or so, right around when a 24tb drive drops to 150/each. It’s still not like, super cheap or anything though.

Nothing “almost” about it. Retail drives are available right now at 30tb. Although, the more reasonable price/GB is at around 8tb with occasional outliers.

Yeah. Normal people have about 100tb of total space. My 96tb (64tb usable) of space is completely average and not at all an indicator of something being wrong or abnormal.

If you visit their website, it looks like a scam website. Or maybe a hobby by a single person. https://zinwa.cn/

It has no photos of the actual product, it has no shipped products, even though the older version is supposed to ship this month, they link a discord on their website, and they use gmail for their email. It’s all just so halfassed for someone trying to ship a physical product.

This is a vague and unprovable take.

Mr incredible had to work out to get his strength back, and managed to do it while having a job, family, and friends who all were happier with how much more time he was spending on them during his getting more fit phase.

It really depends on the source of the super strength. The juggernaut is a god-empowered being of strength; he looks muscley because that’s what strength is supposed to look like, not because it affects his ability to do work.

Superman looks strong because that’s the ideal humanoid form, apparently, and his eugenics-obsessed ancestors chose that as the look they wanted to breed for.

Mr incredible/robert parr from the incredibles had to work out, and used literal trains as his gym equipement. It’s likely his super power wasn’t super strength so much as fewer limits on how much improvement he could get from his workouts. He is out of shape at the start of his story, and getting rid of that, while relatively easy for him compared to others, did require actual work on his part.

If you had a superhero who had like, a psychic shield or similar that surrounded their body and gave the appearance of super strength, like Victoria Dallon from Worm, then yeah, they’d have to work a lot harder to look like the strength they use on a regular basis.

Except in rare cases, I think you’ve got it backwards. Heroes with super strength get their muscles from their powers, and only the rare few outliers don’t get muscles from their superpowers.

I think my favorite quote from the video is “You don’t have to make a product that fits everyone for it to be a good product”.

My goal was to never need to touch the settings for any of the HVAC units all year round,

I got a lot more luckier than you. I have a single floor, three bedroom place. All I needed to get my setup to an acceptable level was a programmable thermostat.

The other snag was more fundamental - I don’t think it’s possible to have a perfect temperature, even for one person. If I’m sitting still for long periods, I tend to want warmer temps. If I’m cleaning the house, I want cooler temps.

I set my temps for warmer in the afternoon, cooler in the evening/night, and semi-warm again in the morning. It’s not perfect, but it makes getting to sleep and waking up a lot easier.

First of all, only jellyfin has any overhead worth mentioning. Video is big and takes big hardware if you’re doing anything except the bare minimum. Audio support is basically free in comparison.

I actually tried the jellyfin audio streaming before I switched to navidrome. It worked, but all the apps for it were complete shit, or incredibly feature poor. Also, it had terrible album identification support for my library.

Responding to attacks is not being high-conflict personality, that’s reversing the roles. People who are harassed and attacked are allowed to defend themselves.

That’s mostly true, but misses the point.

Point of order; a ‘high conflict personality’ is not a bad thing on its own. If we didn’t have people with them, open source would not exist as a community. Linus is infamous for his ‘high conflict personality’, although he has for sure cut back on it in recent years. People who get mad and fight back are a blessing and a requirement for humanity to succeed.

Everyone chooses to fight, de-escalate, or to not engage at all. The people who choose to fight, often and regularly, don’t have to be wrong to have a ‘high conflict personality’. They just have to semi-constantly choose to fight instead of the other options.

I looked at the only available evidence (which is from the posted article, because all of the github conversations were deleted) and it’s pretty clear that, of the available options, Micay did not choose to de-escalate. You could argue that deleting the feature request counted as an attempt at disengaging from the issue, but it pretty quickly changed from that to fighting about it.

I get that this is a pretty important issue to you tranquil, I see it in all the comments you’ve made here. But ThorrJo wasn’t making a moral accusation, but casual observation. Micay gets into drama, real or otherwise, enough to show up on a semi-regular basis.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been a regular user of grapheneos for the past year and I genuinely love what has been created. The work done on this software is incredibly important in this day and age, and I’m incredibly grateful to the people who made it.

I use this container with AirVPN; https://github.com/haugene/docker-transmission-openvpn

Port forwarding was incredibly easy to setup with this VPN, and transmission is enough for what I have. As a bonus, this docker container in particular has a shitload of documentation and support tickets behind it, which made troubleshooting a lot easier for me.

Just be aware that it’s a lot less ‘first person shooter’ and more ‘strategy game from a first person perspective’ these days. I’m still so mad about their infantry combat overhaul.

Also, more importantly, squad is only sort-of compatible with linux. They’ve got DRM that does break things on the linux side on occasion since it’s not directly supported.

There was a pivot from milsim to cod style gameplay after or around their first beta testing started. Apparently not enough people liked the milsim gameplay, so they switched to more arcade stuff instead. It was touted as a win for actually properly done user experience testing, and small development teams combining to allow for more agile direction adjustments. This where the ‘remastered’ title came in, despite being the first release they did.

For me personally, it had some of the features of a milsim, like quicker deaths, squad chat, medics, etc, but lacked a lot of the team-oriented objectives that bring a team together, like larger maps, even quicker deaths, stamina management, resource management and spawns.

Essentially, it was a bit of a rough combination of arcade and milsim and didn’t quite fit the bill of either. If nearly every single gun takes 1-2 hits to kill someone, but spawns are setup so that they’re all within 100 yards of the other team, it really can get overwhelming incredibly quickly.

At least, that’s how it felt to me. If nobody is required to make spawn points since they just show up for the main objectives, nobody is going to bother to drive around and set it up better without being friends IRL, or actually just into that part of a milsim fps.

Battlebit is kinda dead after the devs started work on a sound update, failed to separate their prod and Dev source branches, and then realized they couldn’t make small changes without finishing the actually really big audio and everything else update first.

Also, battlebit is in a bit of a weird spot; it was made by the dev team as an arma/squad replacement for people without high tier setups, but was first published with more arcade elements than that initial start would have you expect it to have. There’s been a couple rumors that the devs aren’t happy with how arcadey the gameplay for it is.

It’s fun for what it is, but there’s not a whole lot of players on it lately, and future gameplay elements aren’t guaranteed.

Pornhub had a shitload of other issues that weren’t payment processor related.

Not for me. I have no idea when I last shut off an xp machine. My first free computer came with 98se, and my first purchased PC had windows 7 installed. At some point, I shut off an xp machine, either for school or at the library or whatever, and I have no idea when that was.

The phone would be otherwise still fine despite being 2 years old. I’m sure even if it was covered, Google would find some way to not repair it under the program because it is a carrier unlocked model running GrapheneOS.

I had a different, also known hardware issue with my pixel 8 screen. I also use grapheneos. I used the pixel replacement policy that google had (the phone was still under warranty) and I didn’t even bother to put the OS back to default, just erased everything on it. They didn’t even bother to check for the default software, just that they got a pixel 8 back from me.

You’ve never seen the after-effects of someone who actually got surgery to change smaller things. Those aren’t obvious, but they are incredibly common. The rare few who do it so often that it makes them unrecognizable as natural just stand out from it all the more because of how successful it is for regular people.

The other part of it is that body issues often lie to you about what is good/bad about yourself, and they don’t always stop doing that just because you changed it to what you thought you wanted. If you have the money for it, that can be a very vicious cycle all on its own. Don’t get me wrong; I do things to alter my appearance regularly as well, you just have to be careful not to let the intrusive thoughts win where you can.

I think the rich people who make themselves that aweful looking through so many surgeries likely need help; I don’t expect very many of them to be happy about the result at all.
