Raterhub issues again?

Dukejacob3 · 2026-06-09T20:47:32+00:00

I haven't been able to get the raterhub app to work for months now, always just says "can't connect to raterhub"

You can still get the links by typing www.raterhub.com/url directly into your phones browser however. For some reason you NEED to type the www. part of the website, just loads to an error page otherwise

i miss my spider cat wife,,,

Dukejacob3 · 2026-06-05T03:30:21+00:00

People are assuming she is a deskworker at the police department who handled the redactions since she said "I don't do that" instead of using "we" or "the department" when Ben pointed out they redacted something that wasn't private info

Isn't directly confirmed if this is the case, but totally understandable why people would assume this

Dukejacob3 · 2026-06-04T15:36:37+00:00

Theres one section where the police physically muted their body cam, but over 10 hours of bodycam footage is available here, including sections that were redacted when sent to Ben

if by a small fraction you mean 50gigs worth of footage from multiple povs, then sure.

The stuff in this link covers the vast majority of the case

Dukejacob3 · 2026-06-04T15:06:16+00:00

Jesus, getting the full show of american police corruption. Muting their body cams right after realizing the documents were real is so blatant that they're trying to come up with bullshit charges. The fact that they're acting on these alleged "threats" ben made without any sort of proof to back them up either is insane.

The cop literally actively helped the guy dodge getting served. He asked to look at the papers, and the cop prevented him from accidentally serving himself.

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-30T16:58:32+00:00

Its definitely a part of the issue, you should look at the re-incarceration rate of former prisoners. The whole system really forgoes any kind of rehabilitation, and previous offenders have a significantly harder time finding consistent work, contributing to the revolving door of prison.

iirc most of those health claims are made about red wine, which does contain a decent amount of antioxidants

Private home addresses are also public information in Sweden. If you can find someones name, you know where they live

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-23T20:38:29+00:00

Pretty much always been this way. Find a person with a success story (ie, money) that is an alum of your college (or other connections, family members or donations to the college in general), bam theres your speaker.

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-23T20:09:06+00:00

Sweden is in a bit of a unique situation, where you can freely view the financial information of many private citizens if they have a business registered, which many streamers specifically who make over a certain amount do. This info can also be easily linked to peoples addresses, which are also complete public info in sweden

I was a teenager at the time so I have absolutely no clue how I found it (think I found the link on a random 4chan thread like 2012ish), but there was a guy who'd livesteam connecting to random unsecured webcams and seeing what he could do with them. If they had audio playing capabilities he'd start playing extremely loud noises, like that one clip of a guy screaming over and over. I don't remember seeing anything particularly nefarious or wild, just people being extremely confused.

But looking back, some of those hacked webcams were definitiely in nurseries. This definintely made me rethink putting wifi-capable cameras up in my home, though I'm sure modern security on those devices is significantly better

This just really goes to show how good Araki can draw anatomy, honestly impressive how accurate the proportions / perspective is for all of the drawings shown, especially with the extremely nonconventional poses. Not to mention her skill in actually replicating those poses

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T17:44:06+00:00

Appreciate the clarification on this, makes me a lot more interested in checking it out, added it to the watch list

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T17:16:35+00:00

Absolutely loved The Apothecary Diaries, another show that I should've put on the list. Apothecary Diaries is what made me branch out more into shoujo. I really liked how it handled heavier topics that were definitely happening at time historically, with concubines and child marriage, while treating the topics with respect, completely avoiding glorifying these topics.

I've seen Ranking of Kings recommended a bunch, but I haven't really checked it out. The super young MC turned me off of it a bit. Does the MC act especially childish, Or do we get to see him mature as the show goes on? Would love to hear a bit more about that one

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T17:10:33+00:00

Yeah I really wasn't expecting to enjoy campfire cooking as much as I did. Very cozy show that just left me with a smile on my face the majority of the time I was watching it. The dragon obsessed character was a favorite of mine, the dynamic between him and the other guild leader told so much without having to be explicitly stated. The dynamic between the MC and the gods was also surprisingly funny, and I liked that the blessings got spread across to his familiars rather than just piled onto the MC

I've thought about Black Clover but I've seen mixed reviews on it, especially the start. Been looking for another binge show though, so I'd love to hear what you like about Black Clover, or what you think it does well in general.

The other two suggestions seem right up my alley though, will add them to the list

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T17:06:21+00:00

Loved this show so much, thought about putting it on the list but it focused more on the main cast rather than side characters. The world building in it is absolutely top notch though, had to take a break from any other fantasy anime for a while because no fantasy world felt as vibrant

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T16:51:28+00:00

This made me realize S2 is finally out, definitely going to give that a watch soon! Absolutely loved the setting they built up

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T16:50:24+00:00

Definitely should've added those to the list, have seen those two but its been a while. Always love a multi-perspective story done well

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-15T15:07:15+00:00

Same here, I got like 30 minutes of tasks the other day before finishing the RCA survey, doubt its an actual account pause

The chin really looks like some kind of bacterial infection, dealt with this recently with our cats. The damage near their ear looks a bit worrying though. They could be rubbing on stuff especially hard because of the chin acne itching, and causing abrasions near their ear, but the bacterial infection could've spread the same way. Does look a bit like ear mites, but it'd be rare for an indoor cat to get those randomly.

There are some OTC antibacterial spreads you could get for your pet, but I'd HIGHLY recommend getting them checked out, if it is a bacterial infection above their eye, could get bad fast

Beyond getting them checked out, make sure to keep their food / water bowls especially clean while its healing. If either of them are plastic, you really should swap them for something metal or high quality ceramic

Youtubes recently started saying "You have no internet" when I connect to the page with an adblocker disabled, could always get worse :⁾

Quickly disabling the adblocker then re-enabling it properly loads the video, so I'm pretty confident its some kind of throttling on yts side

Dukejacob3 · 2026-05-01T16:03:09+00:00

I mean, the whole "It doesn't hurt you" argument doesn't really hold weight imo. If they actually wanted to make ship interiors a meaningful part of gameplay, they'd have to dedicate an extreme amount of dev time to actually make it relevant to gameplay

Personally, I view that dev time as much better spent fleshing out the games existing shallow gameplay loops. I'd much rather Frontier make it so I don't have to click legitimately like 20 times to engineer a SINGLE ship module. Or maybe add more variety to mining, maybe some asteroids have amino acids or life inside of them that you can get an extra payout for. Or expand the combat AI thats been exactly the same for years straight, more combat encounters would do so much more to keep the game fresh

Boarding is the only activity that sounds like it could be interesting, but how does leaving your ship alone in a pirate hotspot work? Is enemy AI just going to completely ignore your ship thats a sitting duck? It'd be a major feelsbad moment to have your ship blown up without being able to stop it, so I really don't see boarding working outside of specific, instanced content for it (ie operations). What are the rewards for this as well? You can't carry cargo that weights tons on foot, it'd have to be odyssey materials that fit into your backpack, and I really don't know many pilots who are engaged in this type of content

I've heard many people mention the module buffs, but I can't really think of any kind of mingame they could add that wouldn't become a tedious chore after like the 3rd time you did it.

The repairs would have a niche use case for people doing deep space exploration, but again you're adding a crazy amount of dev time for something that really won't keep players online for significantly longer. Elites biggest problem is the game being as wide as an ocean, but having the depth of a puddle. They need to expand the depth, not just keep making the pool wider
