There’s nothing to scale. DNS servers are just an address book. There’s only 200 million entries active and visited. 1.1b entries otherwise, which; for a computer isn’t a lot.

DNS servers replicate down-stream, and the root servers maintain authority. A local SQLite file could handle this easily, and you could always run your own DNS server locally if you wanted to. But there has to be a central authority. That’s why you can have any TLD you want – you run your own DNS. But since nobody sees you as an authority, they won’t be using your DNS.

How is the internet supposed to work if we don’t agree on where every site goes? How are you supposed to decentralize a central agreement?

You can use whatever top level domain you want, you just have to convince everyone in the world to use your Root servers instead of ICANN, which ain’t gonna happen. Tor has the .onion TLD, etc. There are no restrictions here. They’re more like…agreements.

Carbon sequestration is such a fucking scam. I hate that all these projects are popping up because they know it’s easy money. Only thing it costs is our planet.

It’s so terrible that people are led to believe that their death is worth so much. This poor man lost his life, literally the most precious gift given to you, because he believed that losing it in protest would maybe make a change.

But the sad reality of it, is that he’ll be forgotten and ignored like so many others. He could have made more impact by living.

You know they plan on retiring alito and thomas so that Trump can pick 2 nice young replacements for the supreme court right?

I mean, I think a badge titled Normal would have been just fine.

This shit is absolutely atrocious and shows how far we’ve fallen.

Microsoft almost got broken up as a company over simply BUNDLING a browser. Now they’re actively hijacking other installs to put big warnings up and redirecting to theirs. It’s absolutely bonkers this is allowed.

So, I migrated to 5.x and I don’t know if it was just me, or a change in the WebUI or something, but Sonarr stopped wanting to pull files in. I’ve been holding out on the Sonarr upgrade because last I looked at it, it wouldn’t auto-migrate you over, etc.

But when I went to upgrade it - it said that now auto-migrates, and it does. However, the old migrated rules looked kinda dirty, so I was panicking a little. The imported/converted stuff all worked, mind you, I just didn’t like how they looked. In the end, I ended up really really liking the new Sonarr system, though I did have to ask an LLM how to format some new regex.

You should REALLY update…

Are you hard-linking it to somewhere else on the drive via any kind of automation?

For example, Sonarr can hard-link files to the directories they belong in, so that Qbit can continue seeding. If you then delete/remove the torrent/files – then the hard link would still be there.

Pretty much auto-downvotes any time anyone says anything positive about using an LLM.

But this is great advice. Sometimes you don’t have the right mindset to formulate something presentable.

She was 2 minorities at the same time.

I don’t think people understand that Valve also is going to own this space because of all the work they’ve done on Linux, them not being a trash company to their users (though, THAT bar is low).

So this is going to be very much a “Raspberry Pi” type of situation where - yeah, you can buy better SBC’s than a Raspberry Pi; but everyone buys the Pi because it’s got a lot of developer backing and an amazing ecosystem.

I’m probably going to avoid it tomorrow. Hoping to catch the result Weds maybe.

It’s a play on the joke “There are 3 genders, male, female, and political”

Religion, Politics, and Political Genders.

I don’t remember them being a good video game company. I never liked any of the games they made (but obviously that’s subjective). I went through wikipedia for the list of their games, and only ones I found that I had ever bothered playing was Breath of Fire I/II, Myst. They’ve always kind of been a middling developer; I think the games I listed they were just the publisher. They release something, it’s popular for a week, it gets mixed reviews, and then it falls to the wayside again.

I’ve never bought shit by EA or Ubisoft - not because I’m boycotting them or anything, just because their shit isn’t that good. They just feel like they’re lacking ‘soul’. Watched plenty of friends play through Assassins Creed, and Far Cry, Rainbow 6, etc - just - never looked any good.

Twitch provides value to Amazon by operating at a loss and paying for AWS on the back end, Twitch might appear less profitable (or even operate at a loss), AWS still records revenue from the transactions. You’re looking at the surface, where Twitch needs to be individually profitable. Companies use shells like this in far deeper ways for their own tax benefits.

This allows Amazon to shift their tax burden to a company that’s operating “at a loss”, and keep the revenue with AWS and show record profits.

Companies wouldn’t just buy others up, intending that all they do is cause harm. Twitch is being leveraged in deeper ways.

Privatize profits, and socialize losses…
