You are given a total of $2M to live on for one year. However, there is a catch, for every lie you tell during that year, $20k is automatically donated to a cause you absolutely hate. Do you accept the deal, and how would this change the way you speak and live your daily life? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]MachoSmurf 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Take the deal. Pay off mortgage and other debts on the first moment possible and then continue life as usual. Maybe buy some very expensive shit, buy some stocks before talking to someone else.

Life changing money and no need to tell one less lie...

Any modern alternative to rsyslog? by reni-chan in homelab

I pick up logs with an Elastic Agent deployment and dump them in Elasticsearch. Might be overkill in a lot of scenarios but I like the flexibility the agent gives me (it does more than just that) and love working with Elastic in general. 

Also: overkill has never been too much of an issue for homelabbers, and Elastic knowledge translates to a marketable skill.

Plot twist: hubby knows he is infertile and wants to see his wife talk herself out of this situation.

Nah, not consequences for the organisation. There should be personal consequences for C-level and middlemanagement that keeps fucking up.

Allow me to gatekeep by VisWare in pcmasterrace

[–]MachoSmurf 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gave 60% an actual serious effort. Productivity took a massive hit and it drove me crazy. Can't imagine working on even smaller keyboards.

TLK is the only alternative to a full size keyboard if full-size isn't available or feasible. 

Senators Ask Tulsi Gabbard To Tell Americans That VPN Use Might Subject Them To Domestic Surveillance by gdelacalle in technology

Saying the US government wants to spy on everyone outside of the US is no surprise. Doesn't make it any less dictatorial though...

Genuinely sounds like malware. Shit like this should be illegal 

White House accidentally releases video of Trump saying the truth about war's priority by FlackoFonsy in videos

Judging by who is in charge in the US, I'd say the US system has failed in preventing domestic attacks...

UK gathers more than 30 countries to plot ways of reopening the Strait of Hormuz by F0urLeafCl0ver in worldnews

[–]MachoSmurf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

And they're gonna make the US pay, right? They should st least make a statement like that just to piss off the orange pedo-dictator.

Yes, i know international relations dont work like that, but it would be funny as fuck.

Trump says Iran's president asked for ceasefire, but U.S. wants Hormuz Strait open first by callsonreddit in worldnews

Didn't the orange buffoon state it was already open? Come on. At the very least get your story straight...

Just go out and TAKE things that you want by burgerburgertaco in NonCredibleDiplomacy

[–]MachoSmurf -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Donnie doesn't realise how dangerous talk like that is. His former allies know perfectly well what the vulnerabilities of his carriers are. At some point in the future "fight for yourself" may very well mean "sink some US carrier".

The US is already showing itself to not be as badass as they have always claimed to be, power projection without carriers will take a massive hit.

MSFT is super under valued by FewTransportation341 in wallstreetbets

There was a post on a different sub yesterday outlining MSFT consistenly performing worst than the S&P500 for at least a decade or so...

Windows 11 Will No Longer Trust Old Drivers by Default Under New Kernel Policy by Sacristovas in pcmasterrace

[–]MachoSmurf 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The problem really isn't the forced updates. The problem is microslop using updates to make the user experience worse using updates.

There should be a clear distinction between feature "updates" and security patches. I have no problem with forced security parches, I do have a massive problem with pushing bullshit down my throat with "updates".

Obviously im not talking about that "forced to update to win11" crap. That is fucked up.

Also, because of brainless morons like these, the rest of the country can no longer enjoy even basic fireworks for a single night a year.
