but like… they’re hosted in germany. if they don’t follow german law they will get shut down. same as they need to censor nazis or they get shut down.

oh yeah that’s better. but it’s also harder for a newbie. not a lot harder, but still.

non-standard ssh port is actually a pretty good security measure. there are thousands of automated tools just hammering the standard ports of every ip they can reach, and if you have password auth enabled they’ll get in eventually.

we do. this datacenter is in my backyard, as is four hydro plants. we don’t have an energy deficit, we just don’t have the infrastructure to move the energy to where it needs to be. thus, datacenter in random small town.

it’s insane that they don’t because sweden has basically the exact same program.

car guys also want less cars on the road.

…where have you gotten the impression that it’s “supposed to” be free?

i think the most interesting design detail of lua tables is just glossed over as “nil-holes” in this article. namely, that nil values do not exist. there is no table.delete(key) method, you just zero out the value and the key stops existing. the same thing is true for any variable, if you set it to nil it ceases to be. i find that implementation fascinating.

isn’t philips just a nameplate nowadays?

marshall’s headphones are rebranded urbanears products. urbanears are also european but they’re budget.

no i didn’t, i simply noted that the uk and texas had implemented age gating laws.

perhaps, but it does feel like empty words in that case. that may be why people don’t reciprocate.

everything i see about improv groups is usually forced improv, where the “yes and” is taken literally (as in added to every sentence) and it’s really cringe-inducing.

also it’s not really a thing here.

i’ve dm’ed some oneshots that didn’t really go well. i think i lack the structure.

that’s a fair take. it could be learned behaviour from uni, where every sentence was a joke.

it could also stem from an unwillingness to share personal stuff, i guess.

it does not

i mean conversations are usually devoid of references, which is why i think it sticks out so much. if i’m in a reference-heavy conversation i’m most likely talking to them about a niche topic where knowledge of references, and therefore the basis of those references, is assumed. maybe i’m subconsciously judging them as “not in the know”?

this is obviously stream-of-conscience, but… am i mentally gatekeeping people?

cheddar and sour cream?
