It’s absolutely authoritarian. You’re an idiot if you think otherwise. I’m not even going to offer an argument, you’re just stupid.

Speaking as a “muh gunz” person that person is fucking stupid

It is, though

Reusing credentials is their fault. Sure, 23&me should’ve done better, but someone was likely to get fucked, and if you’re using the same password everywhere it is objectively your fault. Get a password manager, don’t make the key the same compromised password, and stop being stupid.

And this isn’t an enterprise thing. It’s my home NAS. For business things I just use AWS like any sensible person.

A 16TB, a single one, right now is $1800.

As I said, as they become available (read: affordable) then I’ll use them. Until that point… mechanical drives have worked well for 50 years and are fine for me. I can accept a margin of problem, it’s the reason I use RAID.

My NAS device has 80TB of usable space (6x16TB, raid5). Equivalent would’ve cost tens of thousands of dollars in drives alone.

Once 16TB SSDs are even available I will probably start migrating them in, but for now mechanical drives it is.

The cat food is probably always there. Kitty was trying to buy nip on the dark web.

Admittedly the server on which it’s running is pretty beefy and I don’t let it transcode. I’ve got enough disk space that if something spends time transcoding I just optimize it to a new version of the file.

By bandwidth I was speaking in terms of network only, but if you were to run it on a simple server that didn’t do any transcoding it might be ok.

If I’m just using them as a glorified small Linux box it could work pretty well. If you’re going to host services that don’t require a ton of bandwidth you don’t need a hard line or anything. Hell my Plex server is using WiFi (802.11ax but still) and it delivers 4K just fine.

Just because you don’t have the attention span to not react to every input you see doesn’t make it a dark pattern. It means you need to be less impulsive.

Well then, anyone have this code archived? Time to make sure it makes it to torrent networks. The only way we render the DMCA irrelevant is to make it useless.

Make sure to keep the checksums in place.

Or the ownership you defend. You won’t like how you’ll have to defend it, though.

It won’t be the pen.

Not when the text says “hey, do you want to share your email?” and there’s a big button that says “no, just take me to my results”

This stupid shit is the reason we need warning labels on things. They’re not there to protect the idiots that drink bleach to get rid of covid, they’re there because idiots will drink bleach anyway then blame Clorox for not having the label they wouldn’t have read anyway.

Well this whole exchange was definitely the dumbest pedantry I’ve seen today.

Well done.

The divisibility of 60 is useful, too. It has 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (plus any combination of the above) as factors making dividing time a relatively simple operation.

My phone has a Kyber crystal?! Awesome!

I’m in America, I use Firefox, and I use an ad blocker. I haven’t seen it.

Simple doesn’t mean well done. Badly written code can be simple but still bad
