Never thought of that. In my use case, Transmission is running in a container on my server, so it only ever has one connection, and VPN and traffic management happens on my router.

Do people still use transmission? That seems like be the default one I see in prebuilt torrent server containers.

Maybe it’s just a generational difference, but when I was a teenager, who I thought was cool was usually just band members of my favourite bands. Since social media wasn’t a thing, there was nothing they were trying to sell us other than CDs, t-shirts, and concert tickets. Even then, there was usually a mental separation between the person and the art, so when the person turned out to be a trash bag, it had very little influence on fans.

Measuring my server cluster

Personally, I just don’t ask questions I don’t want the answer to.

Masking the cost of the Windows license is my guess.

I’m learning to hate it right now too. For some reason, its refusing to upload a local image from my laptop, and the alarm that comes up tells me exactly nothing useful.

I get mad at Windows features occupying ports, even when that feature isn’t in use.

I’m confused. Are you saying that the gravy seals have any hint of a chance against the US army?

To be fair, this isn’t really a “gun control” type situation. A single, targeted, killing, would have been just a successful if it were done with a knife instead. The gun control arguments are more applicable to spree killings.

Worse. Terminally online edgelord.

“Yay! We’ve created artificial general intelligence!”

“…Fuck, it’s an asshole.”

Could be good for things like the creative writing subreddits, where interaction is secondary

In this case, none of that applies. I do industrial programming. 99% of the ethernet networks I have to connect to don’t have a router, and nothing is running DHCP. They locked out my ability to manually change my IP address.

I encountered “lawful evil” once. My answer of “I know what the problem is. I know how to fix it. But because you have no clue about what this company actually does to make money, you took away my ability to do it. So now I’m here, wasting both our time” didn’t seem to go over very well.

Are you immortal? Do you have an income vastly higher than the servicing cost of that debt? Do you owe the large a majority of that debt to yourself? Are you able to, if push came to shove, tell your external creditors to go fuck themselves and dare them to so much as try to collect on the debt you don’t feel like paying? If you can’t answer “yes” to all these questions, you aren’t the US and have a debt situation that has absolutely nothing in common with the US debt.

There is no “they”. Manufacturers respond to whet people are buying, and try to predict where that trend will go. If that trend went towards different keyboard layouts, they’d do it. None of them have any actual vested interest in a given keyboard layout.

Yeah. It’s one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn’t come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.

I’d say it’s got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can’t type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.

Nope. Those are the “purebred” ones. You know, the kind of purebred that actually means inbred to the point of barely being able to survive and yet somehow “worth” more.

That’s what I do with all TV/Movie adaptations. Is so much easier to just sit back and enjoy when you aren’t constantly comparing it to something it’s not.
