Yeah, wireshark is a good start.

Something else to consider but requires a different device would be to add a firewall (something like a Protectcli device running OPNsense) between your modem and router and set it up to block the outgoing request and see if it breaks something, or at the very least if you’re concerned about security, you’re blocking that specific traffic while you troubleshoot the cause using wireshark or some other method.

They are probably just trying to keep consistency between an AD instance and Exchange or something like that. Or just laziness.

When we generate new user accounts we run a script that generates an email (so we don’t have to manually do it). It gets generated with the username of the individual which in our case would be first initial, last name. Then another alias gets generates to [email protected] and is set as primary. While the [email protected] is left as an alias, but would still technically work if you emailed it.

If a username already exists we will use the first and second letter of the first name and then the last name, etc.

In the above I mentioned consistency and laziness, but there is also another side, and that is your user base. If you are servicing hundreds of thousands of people or just a ton in general, consistency is very much preferred. Try having to explain to an end user that their login is simply “username” for their computer, but their email is “[email protected]” oh and let’s go ahead and loop in Azure SSO so now their software license login and login for all these other portals is “[email protected]”.

You end up with a mass of confusion. Sometimes simplicity is best when it’s possible.

Yup, you can turn it off.

It’s not overly difficult to get to the setting either.

I’m 100% on board with renewable energy.

There’s just one problem I have right now, if I opt in (and I am opted in) to use renewable energy, I get charged more per kwh than if I were to opt out.

So while there is a lot of misinformation out there against renewables, one thing I see about it costing more has remained true, at least where I live. The power company even states that they charge you more for using renewables. Even if they frame it as being a marginal difference of a few dollars, it’s still more expensive, on top of them increasing electric costs year over year.

That is an absolutely fair assessment and you are right.

I think there could be some wiggle room in terms of legality here though, the issue is global enforcement.

Sure, the CEO is responsible for maximizing profits, but when they lay off potentially thousands of people, essentially union busting at the highest level, they should be arrested and jailed. Following orders is not an excuse. “I shot that kid because my commander told me to, even though we had no proper intel and there was no sign of imminent danger” turns into “I just possibly made 1000 people lose their homes and many of them could potentially lose their life due to duress from my actions because someone wanted to make a million dollars more”. So fuck it, if someone dies due to a chain reaction of events that all started when they lost their job, let’s charge the CEO with murder, and since it’s all coming from the investors, let’s charge them with murder too since they are the ones giving the orders.

Anybody making more than a million dollars a year needs to be held to such a high standard that makes their life extremely uncomfortable, until the point where humans live on an equal scale. That will never happen though.

At the end of the day I’m not arguing with you at all. I agree with you. The investors are one of if not the main root problem and we absolutely live in a society that promotes this.

I am absolutely disgusted by how things are in the world today. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes, but these oligarchs are not making mistakes. They don’t care, and they need to pay for their actions.

Edit just because: I know that my thought process is way out there, and we will never have things work in a way that benefits everyone, but it’s very disheartening to see people suffer. It makes me seethe with rage at how this stuff just continues to be allowed to degrade society and human rights just so some selfish fucks can have more money than they will ever be able to spend. So a touch of wishful thinking and a sprinkle of hope, with a whole lotta rage is my mind. I just want to be able to raise my kid and not have to worry about the shit situation they will probably have to deal with 20 years from now. Or not see kids sleeping under bridges by themselves or hear/see any other of the absolutely irrational things going on in the world because of people in power. It fucking hurts.

I made a similar comment in another thread about this.

Anytime something like this happens where it is clear that they are doing it for a specific reason (regardless of whatever garbage excuse they make) they should be required to pay at a bare minimum one years salary to every employee at their current or a higher rate to offset the loss of their job due to corporate greed.

I also think the CEO should be arrested, and fuck it, while we’re at it, any shares that they have in the company should be sold off and either given to the employees in an even split, or given to local unions and programs that support the local workforce.

Fuck these greedy ass little bitches and their investors. Tank their fucking stock and throw them in jail.

The governments around the world know this.

They don’t care because they got theirs, and it’s coming so fast that it will take radical change across the globe to fix it. But since these geriatric fucks can’t get the sticks out of their asses and come together for change because that would mean working together rather than constantly trying to show who has the biggest dick, we will be the ones to suffer.

I don’t think we will extinct ourselves but I do think that there will be some very hard times coming within the next 50 years. If and when (when being more likely) things like water wars start, the elite will be wiped out, there are way more of us than there are of them.

The elite will try to use the military against the commoners and people will die, but when those rations (water specifically) start running thin they will turn on them with a quickness. I make that last statement from experience albeit under different circumstances. I have seen a command group challenged and subsequently removed from their duties because they pissed off enough soldiers. A military is only as strong as the soldiers they can command. When the soldiers lose morale, confidence, and subsistence coupled with the knowledge that this would be happening on a global scale, it will be over for the elite. We would have power struggles and years of pain, death, possibly disease, lack of power, food etc. Eventually we will rebuild and get back to some sense of normalcy but not without massive changes to everyday life.

I honestly hope it never comes to that, it’s a worst case scenario that I’ve thought about, being completely wiped out relatively quickly would probably be less worse, at least for the earth and the people on it since it there would be “less suffering” (depending on how you look at it) in the end.

Best case is that some radical changes happen and enough of the elite are removed to allow for major shifts in policy and less dick wagging so we can actually save this planet.

You aren’t wrong in the bigger picture, but the fact that I can change to the highest resolution and I get essentially 0 buffer time and it just automatically starts playing at the higher resolution tells me that the bandwidth is there between my device and whatever server I end up connected to that is hosting the data. Otherwise I would likely have a slight delay of a few seconds for it to buffer as it pulls down the data.

And even if you select high resolution preferred in settings, they will absolutely serve that shit at a low resolution forcing you to manually select the resolution every damn time.

Yes YouTube my connection is absolutely fast enough to watch at the max resolution you can serve, don’t pretend it’s my connection to cover for your intentional bumping down in resolution.

Why does your apartment management have a say in it?

If there are other providers in the area then you likely already have lines running to your place and shouldn’t need their sign off on it.

Similar SF story, down at Fisherman’s Wharf, during COVID, two people on the sidewalk just getting it on lol.

If it’s based off of Debian 12 then it’s the old version of SteamOS.

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA

When you’re feeling down

And you need to get up

We’ve got something for your butt

It’s fun to stay at the YMCA hey!

Well I hope Ms Allen can untwist her knickers and realize what she is asking is stupid as fuck and not harmful to animals in any capacity.

Not that I agree with PETA anyway but this does not help animals in the slightest. It’s a waste of funds that could be better spent elsewhere to actually benefit animals.

They should, but they are in on the take so they won’t.

They are trying to “save face” by shit talking while refusing to show any true evidence that their product does not impact performance.

People are tired of it so they stop buying games that have Denuvo. Denuvo needs to look like a sound investment, but it’s bleeding out because it really isn’t, and companies are likely losing more than they are actually gaining via sales because of Denuvo, thus some companies are distancing themselves and Denuvo is losing money.

And OPs “Pstpstpst” requires too much enunciation. Pspsps is where it’s at.

Yup, that’s it!

I figured it out.

I was already headed the right direction by using something like this…

<button text=“Hold Enter” ontap=“enterhold” ondoubletap=“enterrelease” />

But for whatever reason it seems to ignore a double tap to release it, maybe I’m just too slow on tapping lol. I changed it to onhold=“enterrelease” and it works like intended.

I believe so.
