Fun fact: Nothing that ICE enforces carries a death penalty, nor are any violent offenses part of their mandate. So why do they need guns at all?
Obviously I’m asking this sardonically, since we know the real answer. Just felt like pointing it out.
Completely insane that there are comments here assigning any degree of blame to her for this situation. The fact that it was 2 in the morning isn’t an invitation to rape or be otherwise assaulted.
Hell, I don’t care if someone were nude and fixing a sign that advertised their services as a prostitute. Still not “asking for it”.
Yes.
O.P. used “Juggalo” as a derogatory term indicating a prejudiced and ill-informed person. The reply is in defence of ICP, and by extension Juggalos. Pointing out that they have made considerable strides in inclusivity.
Are you really pro-life if you don’t care about the mother’s life too?” Jess asks. “Doctors shouldn’t be afraid to do their job, but in Iowa, they are. This isn’t what we voted for.
Yeah. It is. It has been repeated, over and over, that the “pro-life” position blatantly disregards the well being of the mother. There is no chance that when she cast her vote she had not been exposed to that argument at some point.
She just didn’t care until it was her life instead of just any nameless “mother”.
Several years ago I was looking to set up a media server and initially grabbed Plex because I’d heard so much good about it at the time. The moment it asked me to create an account with Plex during setup and I discovered this wasn’t optional I immediately uninstalled it.
I remain baffled that anyone was okay with needing an externally managed account in order to use software running entirely on their own hardware, let alone the litany of additional enshittification that has happened since.
I will almost always choose .NET as my development platform when greenfielding a project for exactly this reason. It’s an incredibly robust standard library that virtually guarantees I won’t need to pull in a litany of additional utility libraries, and I can also expect that what libraries I do choose to bring in are highly unlikely to drag along a ridiculous parade of dependencies.
They have fairly reasonable guides on their site on how to host for others.
Depends on what part of “set up” you’re referring to. Getting the software itself up and running is extremely easy. They have versions available for the full swathe of experience levels from “here is a packaged Electron based Windows application” to “here are the node.js source files”. All prior versions are also available if you have specific needs for an earlier version.
Now, if you mean how difficult is it to set up and run a game, that’s going to vary wildly depending on the system the game uses and how complex of a scenario whoever is running the game wants to deal with. There are lots of off-the-shelf one shots or campaigns you can run where that setup is already done for you though.
Couple of things I have running on my home server no one has mentioned yet.
FoundryVTT is a self-hostable platform for playing tabletop RPGs online. It supports a vast selection of game systems and user/community developed mods making it extremely versatile.
Pihole is probably something you’ve heard of before and despite the name is hostable on a wide variety of systems. In case you haven’t it’s a network level ad blocker that works by taking over the role of DNS server on your LAN and blocking queries to domains used to serve ads or track telemetry.
But he liked the very young teen types that could pass for even younger than they were, but would look legal to a passerby."
How does this make any sense at all? How does one “pass as even younger” but still somehow “look legal to passersby”? Those are directly conflicting concepts.
There’s a big difference between something being rational and being able to rationalize it.
I’ll grant “differentiating”, sure, but hating? Hard disagree.
I would be ashamed of myself and be tempted to leave the industry in disgrace if setting up DDNS and allowing a single port through a firewall took me 45 minutes.
I won’t stand for this PowerShell superhero comic erasure.
Jellyfin has some security issues that, depending on who you ask, are either critical vulnerabilities that make it completely unsafe to expose to the Internet or largely unconcerning for regular users.
I had exactly the same experience, at about the same time. Had been hearing good things about Plex so decided to try it out. Immediately noped out when it required me to create an account with them. Similar to you I looked around and found it to be a relatively new change.
Frankly baffling to me that anyone with the wherewithal to self-host was okay with it.
Cool. Now explain “deus vult” and the Jerusalem Cross in the context of their modern usage in North America.
My first read of this headline had me thinking “that’s strange, gendered bathrooms are still pretty normal, they can’t possibly have been banned, could they?”
…it hadn’t even passed within miles of my mind that this was talking about racial segregation. I can’t even comprehend this level of regression.
OP doesn’t seem to have responded, so no, but that’s not the fault of the question.
Doesn’t actually strike me as worse than making them himself in this case.
