Yeah I don’t really understand why people care so much. If you don’t like game studios doing stuff like this, just don’t play their games. There are plenty of games out there with great Linux support you can play instead.

I think a two disk dual boot is safe. I’ve had that setup for a while and Windows hasn’t broken anything yet (though I only use it maybe once a month).

Can’t Russians just use a Russia-based speed test service? The results shouldn’t be too different from a US one, other than lower latency. Or just use one of the many other US-based services.

Can they do that? I thought all two letter TLDs were reserved for ccTLDs only. It’ll be interesting to see how things play out.

80,000 tons of CO2 is better than 80,000 tons in the ocean, I guess.

Still, hosting costs were the reason for discussing legal liability. Such a server also increases centralization which isn’t ideal.

That doesn’t solve the cost problem. Now all the traffic is going through that intermediate server, and someone has to pay for that.

Seems like a reasonable donation prompt; it’s infrequent, unobtrusive, and can be easily dismissed and disabled. Some people are so sensitive to the idea of any sort of soliciting that they forget projects do need money to function.

The cargo holds on commercial flights are pressurized and heated. I can’t imagine passengers would take kindly to their luggage being subjected to 0.3x atmospheric pressure at -55°C.

Whatever you do, make sure you have a backup! There’s always the possibility of screwing something up, no matter how careful you are (or your hard drive deciding to spontaneously self destruct).

I’m pretty sure the energy gained from the ice falling into the Earth’s gravity well would exceed its cooling capacity by an order of magnitude or two.

Yeah, I just left my SSH port as 22 since I only use key-based authentication so there’s really no security risk. Plus, it’s funny going through the logs and looking at all the login attempts.

Better to get in trouble for false advertising than actually dangerously high capsaicin content, I suppose.

If you’re looking for a new registrar, I’ve had only good experiences with NameSilo. They’re not the cheapest, but they’re generally cheaper than GoDaddy, don’t paywall arbitrary things like APIs or WHOIS privacy, and have good support.

That’s true. Though there are reviews saying their support is terrible, which I assume applies to B2 as well.

I would not use them, they have bad ratings on Trustpilot.

Why did they put that button in such an annoying spot to press? If you’re going to add a pointless button at least put it on the thumb side, like almost every other mouse in existence.

Yeah they can’t really be seen through clouds aside from maybe the clouds looking slightly brighter.

Go out anyways and look north, there’s a good chance you’ll see something.

NOAA’s predicting a Kp index of 8.33, hopefully we’ll get some good auroras tonight!
