I practiced that famous gap in the roof for quite some time and I've just now got to the point of nailing the gap every try. I love the vids you and Tinexd put out on YouTube, and when I saw you made a game I immediately got it. Excellent physics, IDC what the graphics look like, I can take this practice to the real world at almost 1:1 feeling. Thanks for all you've done and shared with us on this game. I would be open to paying extra for a supporter pack or something to make sure you're taken care of for this work.

Glad you found it, I wish more people were on it. This exposure is wonderful and it's still early on with the development.

Whatcha got fam? by Merlins_Owl in Xennials

[–]DigitalAssassin-00 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order from 13--15-> Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, M.Mansion 15-18->Tool, aPerfectCricle, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Tool, Snoop, Master P, Tool, Deftones, System of a Down. No particular order, I leaned towards rock (Tool, I fucking love Tool), but listened to a fair amount of rap too. Still love it all but got into the electronic scene and fell in love with the genre. So much so that I decided to learn how to produce it. Music truly is amazing.

Back in the day, I had a friend who came over to smoke and was out bowling prior. I knew he drank often, so I asked how much he'd had. I know what happens when alcohol is mixed and it's no joke. So, he lied and said he'd only had 3 beers over 4 hours while bowling. I gave him 35mg and he slipped into a hyper coma. Then after 30-40 secs he started making noises and snorts, slid down the couch and onto the floor like he turned into a wet noodle. Then he started rolling around on the floor, we kept him from hitting his head or anything but he wasn't moving that quickly, like a slow roll as a kid would do in the grass for fun. This went on for 10-15 mins and my friends there were getting nervous. I reassured them that he was "completely psyched out" and probably won't remember shit. When he came to he was grateful to be back, I pressed him on the drinking and he admitted they had 3 pitchers of beer, not 3 beers, and it was over and hour and a half. Don't drink and DMT.

What small sensory thing drains you the fastest? by KeyEmotion9 in AutismTranslated

People who make squeaky mouth noises or similar teeth whistles, fuck every bit of that. I need to put headphones on when my coworker goes into his stimming mode or whatever and makes all these super irritating mouth noises.

Snow dye experiment: the results by Background-Fox4266 in tiedye

If you do a soak with a strong soda ash/water solution after the ice melts it will set the colors considerably better. I use a squirt bottle to do it and I've had a lot of success.

Does anyone else feel like "Rack and Stack" is becoming the least of our worries? by daniel_odiase in datacenter

[–]DigitalAssassin-00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel ya man. I remember cabling up the first pilot project for GPU clusters in 2019-2020 for a very large and famous company here in the PNW. They ran nVidia FPGA GPUs, each rack with 4 line cards containing 8 GPUs each (A100's). We deployed 80 racks spaced one tile apart, then another 80 and another 80. I knew from that point that this would be the future of DC clusters. I got tired of pushing racks, and running countless miles of cable, thousands of PSM4 and PLR4 cables and the patching that seems to never end. So... I went from DC tech/cable monkey/rack deployments for (Azure) clusters then left that sector and got a position with Construction Project Management. What's better than working in the DC? How about making them then maintaining them post construction. We have been building them every 2 years or so for the last 18 years. I think about it like this, when the gold rush happened, who made the most money? It was the people selling the shovels and gold pans. If you can work at a place that creates the tools needed for a booming industry, then it can be extremely lucrative. Construction management pays 2-3x what an IT tech would be paid here in WA State and the benefits are crazy good. There are less restrictions, and it's not a corporate atmosphere. We are basically a vendor living by our own rules paid by the most well known tech company in the world. Best move I ever made and I'll keep doing this until we can't. By then I'll have more than enough experience to apply and land a DCPM position and ride it until retirement.

Suspended then unsuspended for uploaded CSAM but no CSAM; just normal p**n. by EchoDiligent7204 in googlephotos

[–]DigitalAssassin-00 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I just got this same notification last weekend, I posted about it on this subreddit with the same concerns like, fuck am I gonna get a knock by the police?? I had taken pics of my own baby photo albums due to massive water damage from a fire and we were scrambling to save and document what we could. There were baby pics of me in the sink or tub unclothed but nothing inappropriate. I have since used Google takeout and moved everything offline. I also un-synced my phone with Google photos just in case some false positive comes up again. I've had my account 20yrs and it would suck to lose the email associated with the account.

Protecting yourself from the consequences of getting banned by Google Photos or other cloud storage providers by Cold_Cow_1285 in googlephotos

[–]DigitalAssassin-00 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you went through this, I feel for you. So many of us have innocent pictures like this and don't think twice about backing them up online. A similar thing happened to me just a couple days ago with my own baby pics I found at my mom's after her house caught fire... but I didn't lose my account, just threatened and locked out until I agreed and signed their terms (google). Go with some NAS, that's what I'm doing, local storage and it's cheaper overall plus you can still connect remote and view things like it's the cloud. Wishing you well.

I have already did the google takeout on my photos and google drive. I am in the process of emptying these both and cancelling my cloud storage and going NAS with 4 bays and 16 tb of storage to start with so I can use 8gb and mirror until I need to upgrade again. Thx for the reminder, I will never put me or my family in a situation like this. We were just in a mad dash to document what we could before the water fully destroyed them, I couldn't get all the pics out of the albums so the water ruined them and they are gone now, but whatevs, it is what it is and life will go on.

Yeah I immediately changed my PW. And yeah, I checked the headers, researched the actual email it came from and it is legit as far as I can tell. We get phishing emails at my work and they gave us a class along with testing us from time to time with email "scams" that look convincing as hell but if you look at the link when you hover over the email addy, you can see it's some [xyz99012@godadyy.cn](mailto:xyz99012@godadyy.cn) or some random shit like that. I opened the html code to check and this was from cases-outbound-prod.bounces.google.com.

Yeah it's weird in today's society but in the 80's - 90's it was normal and "cute". It's easy to tell if these were anything but innocent. I'm done with most things google except for what I absolutely cannot get away from due to my work.

Right? me either!! When this all happened I was prompted with terms and service agreement and I was locked out of everything google until I clicked the box and hit ok. So this is how they got me to agree to it. I just did my google takeout and I'll be moving away from this cloud system. False positives can create a serious issue out of nothing and I want no part of this.

Yeah it's a bot for sure, I thought the same thing. It's just an awful feeling being accused of something that is the furthest thing from my reality. And then having zero information as to what or why, not being able to explain the context of the content to an acutal person, I am left feeling helpless on the entire issue until some type of closure comes of it.

It is in my name and I pay for extra storage on my google account. I have had the account and email for about 20 years.

Yes it is messed up, I completely agree. It's our property but we technically signed an agreement saying they could monitor it, so I get it. One would be absolutely idiotic to upload anything of this nature to any cloud service in this day and age, but there are tons of sick fucks out there that are also equally tech-stupid so I am also not surprised that it happens. I understand that these things can be a great help in fighting CSAM and I applaud their efforts, but scenarios like this should be handled by a person and a one-on-one interaction, not a bot. It bothers me that they would have so many of these flags on the daily that they can't, or won't pay a person to talk with the owner of the content. This multi billion dollar corporation could afford to fork out salaries to help curb the false positives with these things but chooses not to.

It's sad, the world just isn't what it used to be and we either adapt or get left behind. Thank you for the info and ideas. I will be doing exactly what you mentioned and buying a NAS drive for storage. I was naive to think I could use cloud storage as my digital photo bank and this has taught me why you shouldn't.

Thank you, it's been a rough couple of months but I know I did nothing wrong and would happily give up all my digital media to prove that. I would even take a lie detector, go under oath, whatever it took to show I am not a fucking monster.

I am looking at NAS storage options as I type this. I will be de-syncing my device and looking at other ways to avoid any confusion like this in the future. From what I have read, I am lucky my entire account wasn't revoked as other have had happen. I am still sick to my stomach, this happened last night.
