NocturnalEngineer,

The network… In the cloud… It does mysterious things!

NocturnalEngineer,

Why benefit society when you can just fuck it over whilst profiting from short term gains.

God I hate how this planet functions. Tax the fucking rich already.

NocturnalEngineer,

But now all I want to do is turn off the light switch.

I crave the chaos.

[@GamersNexus] They Changed Everything: Valve Steam Deck OLED vs. LCD Tear-Down (www.youtube.com)

The new Valve Steam Deck OLED didn’t just change the screen: Almost every part of the device has had some sort of revision, from the screws to the power topology of the motherboard. Some of these changes happened silently in the Voyager platform refresh for the Steam Deck, but the majority of large changes are brand new....

NocturnalEngineer,

Would be interesting in seeing the thermal and fan noise results.

Whilst I have no plans on buying the OLED edition, it did make me question that decision a couple of times watching these reviews come in. The LCD edition, with its quirks, is serving me just fine.

I’m also impressed with how candid Valve is bring with both their system & repairability improvements. Just wish other corporations did the same.

NocturnalEngineer,

Even if they were blocking posts, it’ll be because FB purposely wrapped them to look like an Ad

NocturnalEngineer,

Everytime I listen to “Status Report”, I start grinning like a cheshire cat.

NocturnalEngineer,

This, among other shitty behaviour, is why I avoid Amazon now. It’s just a horrible shopping experience.

NocturnalEngineer,

Wounds are usually slightly itchy to me.

NocturnalEngineer,

It was definitely love/hate playing GOTG, it frustrated me to no end. The gameplay was so bad in places I couldn’t complete various sections without referencing player guides.

But I was compelled to complete it because of how well the story was told. I did enjoyed it, but I’m never going to replay it again, which is a shame.

NocturnalEngineer, (edited )

Sounds like the DNS TTL (Time to Live) is set extremely low, preventing clients caching the record. Each time your browser makes a request (such as updating the graphs), it’s submitting a new DNS query each time.

According to this post, this is intentional behaviour for PiHole to support situations where you change a domain from the block to allowed. The same post also references the necessary file modifications, should you wish to extend the TTL regardless.

The only downside you’ll notice is a delay after whitlisting a domain, and it actually being unblocked. You’ll need to wait for the TTL to expire. Setting it to something like 15 minutes would be a reasonable compromise.

NocturnalEngineer,

Would keep adding a week until they got the message.

NocturnalEngineer,

I can never get enough Lower Decks. This episode was unhinged, in the best possible ways.

NocturnalEngineer,

“I will always love you…”

Literal stalkers. Fucking creepy.

NocturnalEngineer,

Personally felt it was the right thing, and earned some respect back from me. They need to address Madison’s accusations separately (which are damning), but they certainly had positive movement with the points raised by the community / GN.

Each of the department heads outlined their shortcomings and how they were being addressed. It felt genuine and sincere, and certainly not the generic bullshit you usually get from a corporate PR team on damage control. I hope they follow through enacting those plans, and it has a positive impact to both their quality and working environments.

The only bit I hated was Linus’ section (and this is meant to be a criticism, not a personal attack).

He opened up with a joke that Luke will have a lot to do curbing his (Linus) own behaviour, had a brief moment of sincerity, but went back to immediately defending himself and their actions. He didn’t fully acknowledge what his “emotional” response actually did, nor a personal response/apology to both GN/Billet Labs for it. There was no real acknowledgment he will address his own shortcomings. It honestly felt like someone who acknowledges he’s wrong (purely based on number of internal members telling him he’s in the wrong), but doesn’t agree nor accept it.

NocturnalEngineer,

You’ve let out all the magic smoke. No wonder it stopped working.

NocturnalEngineer,

As much as I’d like to see another attempt… Good on the FAA.

That launch was dangerous. Huge chunks of concrete were projected up to 6.5 miles away from the launch site.

They either significantly miscalculated the expected damage to the launch pad, or knew and did it anyway. Both are pretty bad.

NocturnalEngineer,

During the UK lockdowns, I tipped all the front line workers where I could. That’s it.

I’m not tipping someone as compensation for doing their job, that’s what their employer is for.

NocturnalEngineer,

“But it’ll make us lots of money…”

NocturnalEngineer,

This is why I love cats. Dogs are loyal from the beginning, but with cats you have to earn it. And it feels so good when you do.

NocturnalEngineer,

Majority of private jets carrying 3 passengers or less, releasing 10 times as much carbon per passenger than a commercial flight.

As a peasant, I don’t think reducing my carbon footprint will offset the disgusting (increasing) display of greed from the elites.

NocturnalEngineer,

This is where the sexy lives!

NocturnalEngineer,

It’s like all the CEOs decided “we’re doing ok, but I want a legacy. Today’s the day I’m going to burn this place to the ground, and refuse to admit I was wrong”

Game of Thrones was nearly "destroyed" by pirates illegally streaming HBO content (www.forevergeek.com)

At first this article reads like your typical anti-piracy screed. It rants about how 10x more people watched GoT illegally (confusing them with lost sales) and ends with how downloading movies can get your credit card stolen....

NocturnalEngineer,

Zero sympathy. If they wanted to reduce the amount of illegal streamers, all they’ve got to do is make their content more accessible.

Release it on multiple streaming platforms, not just their own. Ensure its released globally at the same time. And get rid of the geo-blocking.

The lack of reasonable legal alternatives is what drives piracy.

NocturnalEngineer,

I don’t know, but my electric bill is certainly painful.
