As someone currently watching Mister Roger's Neighborhood with my 2yo and having just completed TNG and started DS9 with my 9yo, this is fantastic.

The Cloud Is a Prison. Can the Local-First Software Movement Set Us Free? in c/[email protected]
[–] DarraignTheSane 7 points 1 year ago

I'd say it's more that computers only enabled the opportunity for humans to invent the security problems that other humans now have to counter with better computer and human solutions.

Is there a CC, Debit, or other card I can use that's a little nicer to small businesses? in c/asklemmy
[–] DarraignTheSane 2 points 1 year ago

Are you talking about accepting payment, or a card for use as a company spending account? I think most answers so far are assuming you're talking about accepting a card type as payment for your goods and/or services.

Yeah, sure, bringing things back on prem where 90% of organizations do not have comparable resources in-house to manage and secure them, as opposed to leveraging a cloud provider and properly maintaining the shared responsibility model is going to "set us free".

Aww damn, I literally just found out about then stood up a docker container with JDownloader-2 today. Great to know that it works for Mega, because I refuse to install that app.

I was just trying to play the original a few weeks ago and man it's rough. The controls are jank af. I don't know how I managed to play it back in the day even, but I remember it being fun. The guns are really something else.

Good to see that they've upgraded it... to run on what looks like the gzDOOM engine. :P

But all the Musk bros told me he's a "free speech absolutist"

Is it "do nothing and continue to pretend everything's fine while taking huge amounts of money from the fossil fuel lobbyists"? Because I bet that's the plan.

Why do Americans answer the phone with "Gopher"? in c/nostupidquestions
[–] DarraignTheSane 6 points 1 year ago

Pretty sure it's an old businessman thing. "Go for (my name)!" in a cock-sure tone is pretty much how I would expect any old business hot-shot asshole to answer the phone.

Don't know about 'battle royal', but are you talking about Battlebit?

Or in the battle royale genre, there's TAB:

Ah, well, "designed to run over the internet". Okay then. I guess no ISP has ever been able to MitM intercept traffic.

Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees! (self.sysadmin)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/104228

I setup this community specifically because of the time I've spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it's worth.)

Come on down, ask questions, post what the sysadmin community needs to know about, or head in to get either sympathy or chastisement about why you haven't left your job yet. 🤣

Missouri Republicans aren’t giving up on making state constitution harder to amend (news.stlpublicradio.org)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/160390

As the 2023 legislative session sputtered to a close, House Speaker Dean Plocher stood before a throng of reporters talking about what happened — including the failure to change ballot initiatives.

Republicans wanted to send a ballot item to voters that would raise the threshold to amend the state constitution from a simple majority to 57%. The Des Peres Republican said something that many in Missouri politics assumed all along: Making the constitution more difficult to amend was critical in stopping an initiative petition to expand abortion access in Missouri.

“We are pro-life,” Plocher said. “And if the Senate fails to take action on IP [initiative petition] reform, I think the Senate should be held accountable for allowing abortion to return to Missouri.”

Some Democrats, like House Minority Leader Crystal Quade, said Plocher was saying “the quiet part loud” about the motivations behind trying to get voters to approve a measure raising the constitutional amendment threshold. But in many respects, the proposal will have a far bigger impact than just stymying one potential initiative petition.
