  • Cronjob? I'm not a systemd evangelist or anyting, but certbot literally has a timer included in the package that you just have to enable to make it run twice a day: systemctl enable certbot.timer

  • That's AT vs ATX.

    AT where you could fry your computer if you connected the power connectors the wrong way around (and you could, because they weren't keyed). Always black wires in the middle lol.

  • I guess I'm weird, but I would look forward to that experience: installing a new OS, learning new things, discovering my computer all over again, drawing up a plan to achieve the migration, finding solutions to unknown problems ... Sounds like it would be a fantastic way to spend a weekend.

  • The laws can absolutely be written such that companies are required to suspend service to any suspected child without requiring ID to use the service.

    The laws shouldn't focus on "harming children" so much, but on "harming humans".

    The big tech companies should be held responsible for the actual damage they are inflicting upon society, and their methods to artificially inflate "engagement" (or whatever the hell they call it) should be held to scrutiny. Whether or not the damage is inflicted upon an underage person or an adult, is merely a distraction.

    Those assholes would love it if we all had to identify ourselves and prove our age, if it means they get to keep inflicting their shit upon us.

  • Oh they do, but the better stuff is like "hard" and everything.

  • what’s the point in even using a VPN, if you have to identify yourself just to use it?

    Having to identify doesn't mean they can see inside the tunnel or that your VPN IP can be traced back to you.

  • I'm Dutch speaking Belgian, so culturally similar I guess...

    I generally don't wear my shoes at home, and I don't know anybody who does, but it is considered weird to ask guests who are not staying over to take their shoes off, and it would be considered weird to voluntarily take your own shoes off in someone else's home. It is more a question of intimacy and is considered getting too familiar. So unless you're really familiar with each other, or you're staying over long term or something, guests keep their shoes on.

    In practice, I take my shoes off when I'm at my parents' home, or at my girlfriend's place, everywhere else they stay on, even at friends' places.

  • Yeah, but against people with portable ATGMs, like Javelins or NLAWs. Anything else is not going to make a dent in an Abrams tank.

    Also, they'd be much more likely to send in IFVs, like Bradleys. They're much "better" equipped to deal with "people".

  • Not when the output is a pipe.

  • Quoting myself:

    It’s a great movie

    So: ???

  • Interstellar is a very plot driven movie, it's leads you by the hand saying "these things are happening, in this order, and it's interesting and engaging", and when the movie is done you get it: the journey is at an end, and the good guys conquered the big problems, emotions were felt along the way, and you're not really left with any lingering questions afterwards. It's a great movie, but it's also a rather easy movie to enjoy if you're into space stuff.

    Whereas 2001, aside from being an absolute visual feast, is more abstract and theme driven, about humanity's place in the cosmos, and it makes you ask deeper questions, but you must actually pay attention and discover those questions and explore them in your own mind to actually engage with the movie. It's not a passive experience, and your engagement with the movie can stay with you for days. It's certainly a much more difficult movie to enjoy.

    When I was in my 20s, I hated movies like 2001 and Bladerunner, I found them so tedious, because I wanted scifi like Aliens goddammit. Later, I learned to really enjoy these more cerebral movies that took effort to engage with, because they were so rewarding when that effort paid off.

  • I don't think Sandy did much game design on Doom though. He was mainly a level designer who came in late in the project to finish the levels started by Tom Hall, who had left id software, and to grind out levels for the third episode. By the time Sandy joined id software, Doom (the engine and game mechanics) was already pretty much the game it was going to be.

    I should also say that the maps he made for Doom and Doom 2 are by far my least favorite in the game.
