Can someone please validate my decision to pay $23 a year for this dumb corndog.social domain just so I had something fun for my Lemmy instance.

Nihilism is for suckers. I’m going to make the world a better place and have some fun along the way too.
I take no delight in killing but Russian forces could leave Ukraine at any point and put an end to it.
Backups need to be reliable and I just can’t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.
So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.
unless they open source their code and/or provide some public interface to test and validate feed content
This honestly seems like a good idea. I think one of the ways to mitigate the harm of algorithmically driven content feeds is openness and transparency.
Look upon what thou has twat and ponder it.
Yeah the golden age of streaming has long passed. Now it’s an expensive, ad-ridden fragmented mess of data harvesting.
It’s clear that Valve’s competitors undervalue the user experience that Steam provides and don’t understand why it’s so sticky.
If magic was real, expert magic users would not trust it at all.
“Haha yeah I mostly do transfiguration magic but I do some evocation too occasionally. No I don’t eat any transfigured food or do any of that at home or anything honestly I’m surprised it works at all.”
My default is to generate a 32 character password and store it in a password manager. Doesn’t matter to me how many characters it has since I’m just going to copy and paste it anyway.
Pretty surprising how many places enforce shorter passwords though… I had a bank that had a maximum character limit of 12. I don’t bank with them anymore. Short password limits is definitely is an indicator of bad underlying security practices.
My shitposting will make AI dumber all on its own; feedback loop not required.
I intentionally do not host my own git repos mostly because I need them to be available when my environment is having problems.
I make use of local runners for CI/CD though which is nice but git is one of the few things I need to not have to worry about.
I was paying for Google music until they took it away from me and told me it was Youtube Premium and then raised the price twice.
Not exactly what I’d call a great value proposition.
I can tell the time perfectly well unless someone asks me what time it is. Then my brain is completely useless and I just have to twist my wrist around awkwardly to show them.
IPv6 firewalls should, by default, offer similar levels of security to NAT
I think you’re probably right. We had decades of security experts saying that NAT is not a firewall and everyone on the planet treated it like one anyway. Now we’re overexposed for a no-NAT IPV6 internet.
Somewhat ironically the Surface laptops are really great Linux machines.
Alternatively what you’re describing sounds like SponsorBlock but for podcasts. You probably wouldn’t have to rehost the actual audio files to accomplish this, just have a podcast client/addon that allows user submissions for ad segments and a database somewhere that can host the metadata for ad breaks.
Biggest issue is probably that you’re probably building or forking an existing podcast app to do it, and some podcasts dynamically insert ads so it’s possible that peoples downloaded files could have different ad segments/times.
Well it may not be accurate or effective, but at least it’s expensive.
Shouldn’t have put the ‘implode’ action on the shoulder button. It was only a matter of time before he triggered it on accident.
Right in the middle of Berlin.
