You can’t really blame a shortage of DRAM without acknowledging that you caused the shortage by pre-ordering two years worth, and allocating it only to data center customers. Louis Rossman has a few good takes on it. One is the, “I’m suing Samsung” video. The recent Gamer’s Nexus piece where he’s talking with that unboxing YouTuber is pretty spot on too.

That means you remember the thrill of getting the Diamond Multimedia Viper SVGA card (or similar)and being able to “crank up” the resolution beyond 800x600.

Or:

Set Blaster= A220 I5 D9

Enjoy your day, fellow vintage builder.

Cool. I know mine stores my SMB credentials for my NAS, and Signal seems to store the key to decrypt the database at rest. When looking in at the values, its usually the bare minimum. I am far from well-read on it though.

Hmm… Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.

Was going to write these exact words.

I don’t know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It’s a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

Or the key to decrypt the account information, more likely. Right?

I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.

I thought I read it before posting. Sigh… I’m such a bot

My state has a solid law prohibiting retention and sharing of LPR data, but I have my doubts about compliance and enforcement.

And yes, everyone is fine giving away the personal info and privacy of everyone else. Infuriates me…

And DPI relies on endpoints using their CA and MiTM certificate. It’s not like it can happen without your knowledge (at least on personal devices). After implementing DPI on multiple different firewall devices on home and enterprise networks, it’s a fairly deliberate setup process on the endpoint. Not a, “they can listen in whenever they want,” scenario.

But fuck this bot 🤖

Every single time I think I know where I stand on fucking sharks…

Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.

To late! You already said we could execute and shun you (though I think the former sort of precludes the latter).

If it can be taken away, it’s not ownership.

That is truly horrifying. I’ve had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I’d prefer the yellowjackett.

I lived in an apartment building with a big pipe leading to the septic tank. Cockroaches were always visible crawling in and out of the gaps between the concrete and pipe, living in the literal shithole. They carry so many germs!!!

At night, that’s they’d scale the building and come visit us. I woke up one night to my cat staring slightly above my head. I moved a tiny bit, and a big mind momma cockroach jumped off my headboard onto my face, then onto the blankets, where my cat swiftly executed it (with no small level of skill and reflexes). That night left an impression on me.

I hope this explains both fear and being spooked by them.

Edit; some fun typos

I have a local music library.

I once uploaded my entire connection of music (ripped from my own CDs or grabbed over the decades) to Google Music, but we know where that went. So I used Amazon Music for a few years, until the service went to shit.

Unwanted tracks in my personal playlists; songs playing out of order; ads despite paying a subscription fee to listen to music I already own.

The frustration with the entire copyright and, “rights holders” scene led me to turn away from buying anything but physical media at local music ships.

I have never used the arr tools, but if I was starting from scratch, I probably would. For now, when I want a few new tracks, I use yt-dlp or fire up jackett and find it.

Eta: frustrations

I hate this timeline. Almost everybody I know is firmly of the, “I don’t need privacy; I have nothing to hide!” or, “It’s just a little bit of surveillance, and if it can help find murderers, fine,” persuasion. All as our freedom is willingly snapped and scraped away.

Hello, Mr. Doctorow. Good day!

That’s not Linux, though; that’s docker.
