grandkaiser, to asklemmy in What are some generational differences between millennials and Gen Z ?

There’s no fight. No battle. It’s just people trying to get by day to day. “Boomers” are not a nation, they’re just another way to split up people trying to get by so one group can justify being shitty to another. Rich and powerful people are happy to promote anything that keeps us divided and conquered. Wars have leaders and strategies and clear lines drawn. The “generational war” is just rats fighting over a piece of cheese dropped by the rich and powerful looking for amusement.

grandkaiser, to noncredibledefense in New reusable, silenced, self-rearming antipersonnel mine design

And a sensation that you’re on fire.

grandkaiser, to rpgmemes in Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC

Versimilitude is one of the most valuable, and hard to maintain, things at the table.

grandkaiser, to rpgmemes in Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC

Compared to a high fantasy setting, everyone is disabled. I cannot fight a dragon any more than a blind man can be magically cured of blindness.

grandkaiser, to memes in The rage is real

chmod in Windows is just as trivial

grandkaiser, to 196 in i have no respect for this rule

Once*

grandkaiser, to vegan in I've had more conversations about this than I care to count.

You know what damages your heart more than keto? Being fat.

grandkaiser, to vegan in I've had more conversations about this than I care to count.

Kind of. I went on keto over the past 6 months and lost 60 lbs. I ate bacon almost every day. Keto is about maintaining ketosis by keeping carbs to a minimum (no fruit, no starches like rice and potatoes, no sugars, no bread, etc). You can eat as much no-carb food as you want. You lose a lot of weight.

grandkaiser, to memes in Healthy work/life balance

instructions unclear, Turkish gyro still gave me heartburn (but it was worth it)

grandkaiser, to asklemmy in What's your favorite piece of alternative history?

Doesn’t sound like alt history. Sounds like a joke. Two totally different eras.

grandkaiser, (edited ) to linuxmemes in Meme moment when talking to my friend about her PC gaming rig (edit to force propagation)

I use both Linux and Windows (Linux professionally, windows personally)

Got a buddy of mine that will wax on for hours about how windows is pointless and should have been replaced by Linux years ago. I’ll then go “Cool, so uh, did that game download yet? Lets play!” Then start up the game. Four hours later and he’s still trying to get the sound to work or make the graphics display while continuing his rant on how user friendly Linux is.

Like, Linux is great and all, but fuck me, it’s not user friendly.

grandkaiser, to technology in Wyze security camera owners reported that they could briefly see feeds from cameras they didn’t own

Encrypted VPN between each side. IPSEC over GRE using 1024-bit AES encryption is more than enough.

Honestly though, if someones cracking IPSEC with any encryption against a random person then that’s already leagues more than any script kiddie is capable of and professional hackers don’t have the motive.

grandkaiser, to til in TIL that .sucks is a valid web domain. As I post this, reddit.sucks is available. spez.sucks is available. trump.sucks is registered

With few exceptions, this is where the buck stops with the internet. If ICANN doesn’t recognize you, “the world” can’t associate your IP address to a domain name. Some “alt dns root zones” exist, but they’re either rogue states, bad actors, or even in one case, a crypto grift.

DNS engineer here, got two corrections to make if you care:

the owner of Twitter.com couldn’t really do shit about you owning it.

That’s not entirely true. .sucks is walking an extremely fine line and if they ever grow big enough and piss off enough companies, they will be shut down. Larry Strickling, head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration has spoken on multiple occasions about his concerns about gTLD (what people are calling “novelty” TLD’s) abuse to redirect users incorrectly (either for parody or for malicious purpose) Source. ICANN absolutely will crack down if they think a gTLD is acting rogue as they would be afraid of the NTIA cracking down on them. Passing the gTLD rules was already very contentious for many reasons. Defensive domain list expansion being one of the biggest.

There’s the other obvious issue that if you’re making a site like “twitter.sucks” you will have to be very careful not to infringe on their copy rights for things like their logo, etc. Especially if the basis of the site is to mock the .com version of the same.

Surprisingly, no. Copyright infringement doesn’t apply to parody. Unless twitter.sucks is a fully functional site that draws in revenue (and not just from the humor, but from actually having a directly competing product), then it’s mostly safe from a copyright claim.

grandkaiser, to technology in France wants your browser to censor the web, and Mozilla is petitioning against it

Instead of guessing, you could just… Google it. It’s about making harmful content unavailable to minors. I’m all for Internet freedom, but something makes me uncomfortable about protesting against protecting children from porn. It’s probably something to do with me seeing porn when I was young and it fucking me up for a long time.
