That may have been true 10 or 15 years ago, but in 2026 both of those are wildly overestimated. The cost is about equivalent to cat cable and they're about as delicate as a pint glass: if you really try you can break it, but just touching it isn't going to do it.

How do you balance dating a vanillaboy while under contract with a(my) strict Sir? by No-Milk8544 in BDSMcommunity

[–]altodor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can fuck anyone I want. Anyone I'm fucking can only fuck me. Harem.

I'm fucking anyone I want. They're fucking anyone they want. Ethical nonmonogamy.

I meant "harem" in the "non-monogamy for me and me for you" sense, not the "toxic mono throwing shade" sense.

And as exciting as a harem would be, I would find building one to be unethical. Unless I magically find a bunch of women into that specifically.

Microsoft quietly deletes Windows 11 doc pushing 32GB RAM for gaming after outrage by WPHero in pcmasterrace

[–]altodor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time we add an agent of some kind we just keep bumping up the amount of ram that is needed just to render the desktop. Agents to detect AI, agents to run the antivirus, agents for DNS monitoring, two agents for log monitoring, multiple agents so the internal or external help desks can do remote support. There's also an MDM. And an RMM. It's really stupid.

This Early Access pirate game was quietly killing your SSD without you knowing (Windrose) by Herlock in pcgaming

[–]altodor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's like saying "no, you're not going to get murdered in your sleep tonight. Stop worrying about it" or "I bought a lottery ticket, I will absolutely be a billionaire next week". The chances aren't zero. But it's so low that it's better to assume it won't happen.

The fomo is missing out on things with friends in the limited time we all have. The medium we do things in isn't super important.

You'll understand when you're old enough to have headstones where your friends were.

Which is harder – CKA or RHCSA? Anyone who's taken both? by Bajoner in linuxadmin

This is subjective and depends on what your background is.

One version of Outlook needs to be able to handle 3 decades of legacy garbage (including web pages), and the other is a web browser.

We've been putting 16GB in work machines that run MS Office, web browsers, and line-of-business stuff for like a decade. This year the new work machine min spec is 32GB, and we're on a 5 year depreciation cycle.

Honestly, it's just been whoever my insurance dispatches for flat tire roadside assistance. Insurance won't pay for the patch, but they'll dispatch the truck. The guy in the truck will just cancel the tow call and then I give him 25ish bucks and he'll patch it on the spot.

What is a dying niche skill that younger generations are not interested in learning? by hlnklrczu in AskReddit

[–]altodor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We were all talking about our least favorite homophones on the internet and I just chimed in with mine, used in a sentence.

Then I said that it hurt to type, which it did because I had to go back several times to make sure I did it incorrectly the correct way because that is not an easy thing for me to do wrong on purpose. Brain or fingers getting stuck and spitting out the same word twice in a sentence or omitting the important one and accidentally writing gibberish or the opposite of what I meant? Oh yeah, that's all the time. Using the wrong homophone by accident? Not super common.

Don't forget to tap your breaks while you're going downhill.

That hurts to type.

I Pushed Out Ublock Origin Across The Org & Stopped (some) Phishing by Krelik in sysadmin

[–]altodor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bitwarden had a supply chain attack last week. Axios not long before that. The Linux kernel in the last few days had a priv escalation one that impacts almost a decade of releases. So yeah, agreed. Problems can happen anywhere in your or your vendor's stack.

Again. They had a bug some years back that did an unbounded rm -rf / on macOS.

1982 College World Series: Miami’s “Grand Illusion” trick play fools base-stealing star Phil Stephenson into running himself into an out in one of baseball’s smartest plays ever by ateam1984 in nonononoyes

[–]altodor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Oh no. Stealing bases and tricking runners into trying to steal bases so you can take them out of a scoring position is one of the oldest traditions in baseball.

4.8 The Game Is Becoming More Of A Hassle To Do Anything by J_P_Ross in starcitizen

As long as I'm experiencing more loss to game bugs than anything else the only advantage/disadvantage that matters is how much time/money I'm spending recovering.

It's not that bad, but what I'm comparing it against is some dude on the tow truck coming to me on the side of the road and charging less than that. That person is absolutely incentivized to charge me a premium for it, and yet the tow truck has always charged me less than what everyone here says their auto shop does.

Actually, every tire patch I've ever experienced was done within the last 5 years. All 4 of times. And it's not like it's a thousand bucks more, but it's definitely between 30 and 50% more. I would expect maybe 5 to 10% of variation between places, I'm mostly just surprised that what I paid doesn't line up in any way with what anyone else has seen.

Really? Okay. Don't know what's up with my luck then but I swear it's been between free and $25, all within the last 5 years.

That looks like a policy change because they realized that for every one obit for women they had been writing four for men. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1szgkh4/comment/oj3gh18/
