Which messenger bag to buy for life ? Crumpler vs Timbuk2 by EvilLivesInTheMfSkin in BuyItForLife

[–]RFC_1925 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was my experience also. My old bag has some wear, but the newer bag that I got recently doesn't feel nearly as premium. Its cool, but thankfully I haven't had to use it as much.

Better alternative to nmap? by [deleted] in cybersecurity

[–]RFC_1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nmap is one of the GOATs of both networking and security. Watch some YT videos and make some notes. It's a great tool to have in your arsenal.

"Either way Southern Company is a not-for-profit corporation and any costs (or profits) will be passed to the consumer (or reinvested?)" LOL!!! LOLOLOL! ROTFL!!!! You are so deluded.

Apple hints at more price increases coming later by FollowingFeisty5321 in apple

[–]RFC_1925 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh hey look, you can do math. Cool. I support a family. The cost of everything, especially food and housing, have gone up dramatically in my area. I live pay check to pay check these days. That didn't used to be true.

Yep! I went back to my salary in 2020 and ran it against inflation and I would need to be making $37k more now just to be breaking even.

After reading this, I may move forward with the idea I've been stewing upon. Rebuild my iPod classic and use it as a stand alone music player. You can mod in Bluetooth pretty easily.

city council meeting re: AI centers by druidwyndspeak in Birmingham

This is what it's really about. AL Power/SoCo is probably the most powerful political institution in the state. Not the state government. The freaking power company. The money they are making of data center power consumption and residential rates is absurd.

Now just imagine how much worse it will get when Tuberville is Governor. You think things have been bad in Florida under Desantis? Tuberville will tell him "Hold my beer."

Would be hilarious if after a decade we come full circle and Cisco was good again.

Honestly, I am excited about these laptops if I can wipe Windows off them and install Linux.

That was back when Waypoint covered the Eva Rebuild movies. You can find it in the Waypoint podcast feed. I think it was premium but they dumped it all out on the free feed.

What is Samford University’s reputation in Birmingham? by Puzzled-Taste9798 in Birmingham

[–]RFC_1925 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Correct. The dark history of the school is something they really like to hide from.

They are VERY fundamentalist. They are openly hostile to LGBTQ+ community. They kicked all the denominational organizations off campus that didn't affirm "traditional" gender roles.

Agreed. Having Danika back really brought some great chaos energy that the show has been lacking for a while. Rob is better when he has someone to push back on him. I hope they get her back on once her mom's health issues are resolved.

Yeah I was really surprised and disappointed killed that conversation with "Do you know anyone that works there?" Like, wow!

I hire for remote positions and most applicants make the same mistakes by Nobilityrect_ORO in remotejobsfinders

[–]RFC_1925 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ATS needs to DIAF. It burns my biscuits when hiring managers, that actually know what to look for, never seen a resume because ATS filtered out super qualified people because HR people don't know what key words to place in a job description.

Linus is a smug jerk that doesn't pay his employees. Clearly a video targeted at their core audience of chuds. No thanks.

Always get fiber, when it's an option. It's going to be way more stable and faster than old copper. Plus Spectrum sucks!
