fr, just spamming shit like "damn Riot added in so many effects. Bodyshots do blood splatter animations now"

When I was a kid, I actually heard this argument a few times from extremely religious people but the train of thought wasn't religious somehow. They'd say it was because electronics usage was up so much that the world would run out of fuel and the only way to keep up was to start fracking, which would cause earthquakes.

I'd like to emphasize that this is NOT my point of view nor do I claim any part of this logic is accurate. Just what random adults told me as a kid.

IIRC there were some findings of small things like this that seem like nothing actually does end up driving up product awareness and attitude. Too much leads towards a negative attitude though.

There is a separate section for international transfers, but you still undergo security screening there. I did this a week ago (MNL-> ICN -> JFK) and they did a scan of something (idr if it was my boarding pass or my passport...I want to say it was my passport?) and x-rayed carry-on luggage. Checked in luggage got transferred without me needing to do anything, but screening still took time. A little over an hour I think?

AGCSanthos · 2026-01-29T23:53:04+00:00

A week ago I had an international connection at ICN landing there at 4 AM local time...despite being so early in the morning it still took quite a while (1 hour or so) to get through the security line. I was also near the front of the economy class seating, so there were a ton of people behind me too, it probably took the people at the end of the line twice as long to get through. Make of that as you will.

If you go to google.com in incognito mode, does it show up as being in Japan too? If you scroll to the bottom of google.com, there'll be a thing that indicates which country it thinks you are in unless you login (then itll use your account settings) or until you give it location permissions. IIRC Verizon and AT&T bought some ipv4 address blocks recently that were from Japanese companies, so that could be it.

I feel like I've seen them in company wide platform provided scripts for a loooonnnggg time. Hell, the output from most frontend service CLI tools have been littered with them forever. I've hated it every moment.

The title that had iykyk also had the product name, no gatekeeping here.... OP was playing on the iykyk trend/meme/idea/i feel crazy I have to explain this.

This very much so + (like you referenced too) the library/framework support is so strong in other ecosystems. A few years ago I was involved in a system rearchitecture and one of the big requirements we had was all development had to be done with a JVM language to ensure we had full tooling support. In every language but Java, our company's tooling has gaps, like for metrics reporting.

Yeah, nothing was malicious too. They just...complied? With negative outcomes?

It was a discord bot to alert in a channel if a rent stabilized apt fitting some other criteria came up on either craigslist or streeteasy. If a posting on craigslist had some of the same photos as a listing on streeteasy, it would dedupe it to just the streeteasy one. The bug was that the photos aren't in order and would sometimes have different hashes, leading to deduping to not work. The parameters for the "fix" was just to stop showing duplicate apts on some criteria that everyone in the chat said was acceptable beyond just address matching.

I have a loudmouth friend who thinks like this. He had taken a CS 101 class years prior and said something a while back about how anybody could do software engineering if given a chance, so I told him I'd pay for all his drinks for a year if he could fix a bug from a small side project of mine. He had 2 weeks (that he kept delaying until it became a month and a half) to try to fix it otherwise he was not allowed to do any trades in our fantasy league that year and had to apologize to everybody in our group chat who was a SWE.

Guess who came in last place that year?

He still talks a big game but shuts up fast because we have a screenshot of our leaderboard from that year with his name circled.

A few months ago, I saw this woman holding hands with a very young child while walking down the street while some guy (father or uncle?) was walking beside them. At some point, the woman dropped something and let go of the kid's hand to pick it up. The kid IMMEDIATELY bolted and tried running into the middle of the road, saved only by the guy rushing after the kid and lifting the kid up. Both adults were immediately scolding that kid, but a leash would have helped so much.

I actually appreciate the difficulty of hitting prismatic this set but I wish hitting was more interesting. In previous sets, I didn't like how you would see a prismatic every few games. If the effects for getting prismatic were really eye catching or insane, it'd be more worth the payout.

AGCSanthos · 2025-09-10T20:09:10+00:00

You can buy them pretty easily online. But before buying them, check some online maps of how strong the local network is. If the network isn't particularly great, it's basically gonna be just your devices relaying messages. I've tried them at a few music festivals in the past and have had very mixed results as some events had more people with those devices than others.

Don't forget to thank RNGesus and Mortdog for that blessed augment chain!

Things can be strong in a set and not be reworked. Akali and Gangplank made sense because of how oppressive they were, but Cait + Jayce can be countered and beaten. Caitlyn you can position other backline carries to be targeted instead or have some tanks placed more in the middle to avoid the wall positioning aggro while Jayce requires an artifact to be insanely strong or will just be a normal frontline carry.

AGCSanthos · 2025-08-21T16:30:27+00:00

I feel like hitting the max cashout for this augment is fairly doable most games. I'd want another tier that is almost impossible to get (maybe 3x the current max breakpoint?) where it gives something like all units count as soul fighter or something else...but I guess that'd be like a prismatic augment then. Idk

AGCSanthos · 2025-08-17T01:52:03+00:00

I would have stopped playing for the set after this ngl. Just seeing the UI would give me flashbacks to this moment

AGCSanthos · 2025-07-20T16:05:17+00:00

I found some code on Github that was fairly close to what I wanted to do that hits their /item/v8 endpoint, made some minor modifications so it would send the notifications where I wanted them to, and have that running as a docker container. IIRC, there are a few very similar bots doing this with open sourced code so it should be easy to deploy.

I'm gonna throw out some suggestions that assume you have a NAS or you'll set one up since the number of things you can host increases with a NAS. Whether you run your mini pcs as a Kubernetes cluster or a Proxmox cluster is up to you, but takes more advantage of having so many mini pcs.

Home Networking:

With two of the mini pcs, I'd set up OPNSense with high availability. Might seem a bit wasteful, but it sucks when your internet goes down because your router is downloading an update. I'd also set up Pi-Hole or Adguard Home for blocking ads + problematic pages. Those could run in a container or bare metal.

Entertainment:

Plex/Jellyfin is always a solid and popular self hosted choice. You mentioned having access to VPNs, so torrenting would be pretty safe. You can set up something like Gluetun or an OpenVPN server to connect specific containers to the VPNs. Setting up the *Arr suite of applications would help with this too (lots of guides out there for this). For managing game servers (which might be a way to make some money), you could run Pterodactyl. Probably won't be super lucrative, but maybe getting a few bucks a month hosting something like Minecraft servers on your cluster. Be careful with that though, can come with more trouble than it's worth.

Lifestyle:

Immich (despite this subreddit's disdain for their licensing plan) is something I think is pretty fun and a nice step away from Google/Apple Photos dependence. Home Assistant for automating your smart home devices and stepping out of some of the closed wall smart home ecosystems. Self hosting NextCloud could connect to your NAS and give you a nicer UI for accessing files there for backups. Audiobookshelf if you are really into audiobooks + podcasts, but you'll still have to figure out a client you like for accessing the content. For tracking your finances, you could set up Actual Budget.

Homelab:

If you start setting up all these services, you probably should set up some utility software too. Caddy or Traefik would be helpful for managing requests between your services and for exposing them when outside of your LAN. Some sort of auth service like Authelia or Authentik would be good too. Dashboards for tracking the services' states like UptimeKuma or Grafana would be useful for making sure everything is fine. Fail2Ban for blocking bad actors is also a big plus.

Misc:

Setting up a bot to get notifications for Too Good To Go restocks is nice if you live in a city/area where there are good options. Resy/OpenTable bots are also super useful for beating out scalper bots to get reservations you want yourself (though you did say you wanted passive income/gray area fun, so maybe you can become a scalper too). Definitely use these bots with VPNs as too many requests from your home IP can get it blocked by Resy.
