That was my take on it too. The vague sense that you’re just going to end up with nothing but circle-jerks if you implement all these suggestions. I could also just be whooshing an attempt a levity, something obvious to a seasoned community moderator.

Hopefully my shitty attempts at socratic method rate a bit better then trolling, but I often doubt it :-)

People who downvote more than upvote tend to be the ones who get in fights a lot and say snarky, inflammatory and negative things.

Summed up my whole sense of humor in half a throwaway sentence ;-)

Seriously though, interesting read, thank you kux… you can really feel the author’s frustration and yet I can’t help but feel that they are interested in a certain kind of idealistic online community. Reddit but with a really restrictive HOA where everyone has the exact same color mailbox.

The best. I’m pretty excited for some low rez nostalgia :-)

Had like 8 of us (old fucks) playing Descent in a 8x10 living room. 1 desk, the rest of us have 25 pound CRT monitors in our laps, extension cords everywhere, keyboards balanced on top… good times :-)

I’m like that :-) Going to have to give it a try.

I kinda want to see one of Microsoft’s websites having a javascript seizure trying to recommend you switch to Edge 😂

O.G. Status ;-)

I always grab a user agent switcher right after uBlock, comes in handy… makes me feel like Hackerman ;-)

First time I’ve heard that expression and I love it :-)

I’m not mad at it :-) It was written for people who were familiar with the situation and posted in a subject matter specific forum.

24 hours later I feel like a bit of an ass. I thought about how many times I’ve picked up a technical article and wished for a bit less background… it’s kind of nice that we don’t have to talk about the whole history of OSS before getting to the news/subject.

It was struggling harder than I was ;-)

Most likely. My own unfamiliarity with the subject matter plays a part too.

It wasn’t badly written… but it probably could have used a brief introduction.

Anyone else immediately get a migraine trying to read the first 2 paragraphs/sentences of that article?

Vast libraries of such disks once existed but we are unsure of what happened to them… but our scientists have identified a solid layer of polycarbonate about 50 feet down from the planets surface that may extend for miles.

It’s almost like they were designed around something round… I call it the data-wheel!

You just have to weigh your own shit once… there’s even a poop-knife included in case it’s to massive for your scale.

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

I turned to coffee maker on from my bed this morning :-)

Yeah… I don’t think there’s any reason for concern after reading it either. I kind of assumed everything was set up this way already :-)

My gut reaction to the title was also fear.

Apparently microdosing LSD was the only thing that improved web quality.
