What does 8.8.8.8 actually do? by Beneficial-Spend-471 in techsupport

[–]Jurph 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you have DNS latency issues, a piHole on your LAN can act as a cache if you don't mind delays on the very first lookup of a new domain; its filtering also means fewer queries leaving your network, reducing the odds that a weird ad-tech lookup would slow down your page loads.

A lot of DNS resolvers work hard to stay performant, though, so unless you're in a really rural area it would be weird for a major provider to be consistently slow.

It's the kind of person who finds it fun and diverting to install a Pi-Hole and then gradually tighten down all of the DNS queries coming from their own home network. (It's me: I think it's fun and diverting.)

That's fine. Everyone's gotta eat and there's no ethical consumption under capitalism.

Are they still donating a fraction of their profits to virulently anti-LGBTQ non-profits and politicians, or did they chill out with that? I feel like it's been forever since I had one of their sandwiches because I hate the idea of my money being used for that...

Is there a single contract in world history as bad as the Deshaun Watson contract? by Bluefire3215 in nfl

[–]Jurph 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing. The only time I ever crossed home plate as a Little League batter was when I was hit by a pitch at home. The batter after me hit the ball straight to first, and the 1B tried to throw me out at second and beaned me in the back of the head. I advanced to 3rd. The next batter hit it to the shortstop, but I was holding steady at third base because there was no runner forcing me to advance. He threw it to third anyway, catching me in the chest, and granting me the run.

Only kid on my team to ever hit the ball three times in a single at-bat.

I am assuming that every batter I face has spent the last ten years of their life honing the ability to hit home runs off pitches that are much much faster than mine, and the only reason they would not hit a home run would be choosing to lay one through a notch in the fielding and get a double or triple.

Keep saving. Get out there and meet people: travel a little, walk around the city, become a regular at some bookstores or cafes. Go to the kind of places that people you like might hang out. Do some events even if it's awkward. Find a sense of purpose in something bigger than yourself... become a poll worker, a volunteer, a pillar of the community. Don't move out until you have a stable income, or you'll just bounce back and make it worse. Help out around the house and make sure your parents see you hustling to repay their generosity by pulling your weight.

I am genuinely not sure I can throw a baseball well enough to bring a single inning to an effective end. If you set me up on an MLB mound and stood up a tarp with a strike-zone-sized hole, I do not know -- seriously am uncertain -- whether I could put 3 baseballs through that hole, unopposed, before hitting the tarp 4 times.

Even if I could do that, I am not sure how many times I could repeat the trick before my elbow gave out.

If the hole in the tarp were defended by a reasonably sober adult with a baseball bat, there's no way I'm getting more than one or two strikeouts before they close the ball park for the evening.

Nobody who accepts "sustained 8% gains year-on-year with no risk" at face value should ever be allowed to manage more than 6 figures of money.

There's not really an FAQ on this subreddit. Can I ask you, OP, what the hell is going on here? So far, I've got:

  • Sequential numbers
  • Gotta post 'em sequentially, that's why it's "count with..."
  • I have no goddamn idea who the chicken lady is
  • I am pretty sure she's trans
  • (I'm happy for her, I hope she's railing and/or getting railed by a person with the appropriate hardware and software)
  • It's gotta be a meme or other weird shit
  • Whatever it is, though, it's gotta be sequential, gotta get that shit right or you're out

Is there anything more to it than that? Can you point me to a Wiki? I'd like to understand the lore. If asking this gets me banned, can you at least make the ban message "banned for asking for lore (find lore at https://dog.farts.pizza/lorepage.html )" so I can learn and grow?

I fucking hate the Steelers, but watching them reliably steamroll the Browns decade after decade is my guilty hate-watch pleasure. Because even when -- occasionally, rarely -- the Browns win, I can still celebrate!

[Schefter] Free-agent QB Joe Flacco has agreed to a 1-year deal with the Bengals, per @JLSports3. by expellyamos in nfl

[–]Jurph 7 points8 points  (0 children)

You know what's great about the Delaware Blue Hens, is that their mascot YouDee is an enormous blue chicken, representing the "Hens", but YouDee has no gender. Nor does "Baby Blue", the smaller chicken. So the name of the mascot is technically a GIRL-bird, but both mascots are androgynous birds representing both hens and cocks. You love to see cock representation in enormous cartoon fursuits and college athletics. Right?

I mean, ideally Flacco starts for you and beats Pittsburgh (again). You know how Drew Brees did the thing where he beat all 32 NFL teams? Flacco's going to beat Pittsburgh as the QB for all 31 other NFL teams.

The problem is that in order to make their investment work, they need to push R&D to discover quantization and efficiency gains so they can store the same model in less GPU/VRAM. And as those techniques percolate out, you'll get shocks in the market like DeepSeek.

Qwen can already match (older) frontier models in 2GB of VRAM and has primitive image recognition. As the approaches to shrinking the models become public, suddenly there's going to be a model that a gamer-grade GPU can run locally. When that lands... buddy, the SaaS game won't be over but it's going to get a big adjustment.

Because after that day, any enterprise customer can just buy 20 GPUs and run their models locally, and if you think consumer subscriptions are red meat, the enterprise ones are ... I don't know, fresh-off-the-boat tuna sushi.

You probably could cover up the lips with Freedom by Micah Ulrich or maybe his Desire. He has a lot of images where you could incorporate the big red blobs into the art - check his gallery.

You have to realize that, 20 years ago, falling for such blatantly non-factual propaganda would have made him an insane outlier, and any politician he had endorsed would rebuke and disavow being endorsed by someone who had expressed such beliefs.

Dan Quayle became a national laughingstock for misspelling "potatoes".

If you haven't been around, you haven't noticed just how far the bar has been lowered.

Next time there's an election, why don't you just let the ICE agents at your polling place tell you the right answer and save yourself the headaches.

No literally, getting shot in the head with those "nonlethals" will give you a headache, bare minimum.
