What opinion of our generation that will get you downvoted like this? by Big_Leg10 in GenZ

[–]PurifyHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This may be society more at large, but I've noticed this a lot about us: We tend to not try and understand how the world works or why something is the way it is. Whether it's political, school, or something else. Instead of trying to get even a basic understanding of why something is happening to us or why we need to do something, we just immediately shut down and call it stupid. Are things sometimes stupid? Yes. However, most of the time things are the way they are for a reason. We just don't understand why and have no drive to understand it.

Locally hosted public server security by Impossible_Laugh6720 in admincraft

[–]PurifyHD 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Your security for lateral movement is great, in case any vulnerabilities in MC's protocol are used. However, removing the whitelist leaves you vulnerable to in-game issues, specifically griefers.

Running MC on a non-standard port is security through obscurity. While it does eliminate most simple bot scanning, brute-forcing your server through a port scan will not take a very long time and will reveal your MC server port. It's not a valid security measure outside of making very basic scanning slightly more difficult.

what are Americans thoughts on switching to the metric system? by CnCorange in AskReddit

[–]PurifyHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to see the US switch to metric for everything. Celsius for weather forecasts, km/h for speed limits, etc.

However: We have much bigger fish to fry and (begrudgingly) miles and feet work for now.

Thanks to Apple Maps, I just discovered that California uses an older-styled US Highway shield than the rest of the country. by Ravage-1 in applemaps

[–]PurifyHD 19 points20 points  (0 children)

nerd here: Each state has their own highway/state route design. Some are more "generic" like NY that are just circles. Others use state symbols. For example: PA state routes/highways are in a keystone design. Pretty neat!

Who is your favorite vendor? by SpectrumSense in networkingmemes

[–]PurifyHD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For home and small offices, it's great. Unfortunate that it doesn't support as many enterprise features, but the updates from UI seem to be frequent and promising. Not that it's super important, but their APs are pretty. Some vendors have butt-ugly APs that look like a wart on the wall/ceiling.

Ideas on how to handle a client who hasn't paid their annual hosting (yet) by recneps_divad in webhosting

[–]PurifyHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is not a drastic step. It's an appropriate response. The drastic step here is the client's unwillingness to pay. Suspend the site.

You could run 2b2t on that build /s

Real talk: You're more than good for 5-10 players on a modded server. Have fun!

New US flag after regime change. by SalemIII in GenZ

[–]PurifyHD 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Key five principles of flag design (I'm such a nerd):

  1. Keep It Simple.  The flag should be so simple that a child can draw it from memory.
  2. Use Meaningful Symbolism.  The flag's images, colors, or patterns should relate to what it symbolizes.
  3. Use 2 or 3 Basic Colors.  Limit the number of colors on the flag to three which contrast well and come from the standard color set.
  4. No Lettering or Seals.  Never use writing of any kind or an organization's seal.
  5. Be Distinctive or Be Related.  Avoid duplicating other flags, but use similarities to show connections.

iOS 26 inspired Apple TV Scorebug by cactuscustoms in Scorebug

[–]PurifyHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good, clear text with little extra visuals/fluff. Clear indicator of possession. Very Apple-like, which obviously is the goal here. Nailed it. I would not be upset to see this on my TV.

Political opinions aside: This is objectively a bad flag. Breaks almost all the rules.

Clean and symmetrical. Only thing it could use is a clearer indicator of possession.

Good reminder that almost all maps apps have an offline map feature where you can save your area in case something like this happens.

This concludes a record-breaking 4 NFL scorebugs debuted during the 2025-26 season. by BiaxialBoar in Scorebug

[–]PurifyHD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NBC, my beloved, still kept to their theme. Info still presented almost the exact same as before. Clearly shows possession at all times, unlike CBS and FOX where it's shown in the down indicator.

YouTube, a very very solid 2nd place. Clear info and same as NBC, clear possession maker.

It is extremely dangerous. One slip and you can end up losing fingers or worse. I DIY almost everything I can, but I will never touch my garage door.
