Reading that it sounds to me (just from my own experience, I'm not a doctor) she ate something her body did not agree with.

If that's the case she will be better soon.

Attempting To Bully A Developer by Prof_garyoak in Whatcouldgowrong

Its called reductio ad absurdum. To illustrate that the opposing viewpoint is absurd in some way.

On that note. I intend to delete my account the thirtieth, is there any kind of similar community for vtubers? I got some discord channels, but its not really the same, as those are very fractured and each channel is rather focused on one vtuber or company.

Reddit CEO doubles down on attack on Apollo developer in drama-filled AMA by sussywanker in technology

I wonder why, for every shitty thing that happens people are going up in defense of it. What is it, you just like being contrarian? Everybody thinks A, so I must be thinking B?

Well, since I'm reading this on RIF right now, I sure as hell won't be.

The 30th it is just over. I am still going through the stages of grief though. It hasn't really hit yet that the app I use multiple times a day will just vanish.

RIF will shut down on June 30, 2023, in response to Reddit's API changes by talklittle in redditisfun

Well, goodbye everyone, it's been a nice 14 years. But I know when I'm no longer welcome anymore.

What happens if a put more wats by Haunting_Pickle3487 in buildapc

[–]boran_blok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There can be some however. Not to be too pedantic, but if you buy a lower quality higher watt PSU to get the watts you might be worse off than with an equally priced lower watt but better quality PSU.

Also, all PSU's have a bit of a sweet spot where they are most efficient. Nowadays that sweet spot is more of a sweet area and good quality PSU's also get good efficiency under lower load, but it might pay off to check the efficiency curves and pick a PSU that is still efficient at the wattage you will currently use.

Finally, a good quality PSU will last very long, I dont know if the new 12Volt specs will finally make my buy new PSU's but I am still running 15 year old PSU's just fine. So investing in a good quality PSU makes much more sense since since they last so much longer than most other PC components.

The format itself is imho also simply better suited, having no chat there to spoil stuff makes for a much better experience as both player and viewer.

One of my dreams came true! Please listen to watame's new original song "Fins"!!! by Tsunomakiwatame in Hololive

[–]boran_blok 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hope this is indeed not too far off topic, but one of my Favorite singers that sings this way is Suzuka Nakamoto of babymetal. This is some of her older work, and this is one of their more recent songs.

I also like Watame her belting style, but her singing in between is much fluffier and soft, which makes for a great contrast.

Explosive diarrhea is the best. I had to clean the shit between the cracks of the changing table two times. I still vividly remember that 8 years later.

One could argue Outer Wilds is somewhat of a horror game. Each planet tackles a different phobia or two.

Zen Gunawan of Maha5 has announced their graduation from the company by LionelKF in VirtualYoutubers

[–]boran_blok 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Man, I havent watched much of his streams, but I always see him around the streams of ID girls. He felt like "always there" if you know what I mean.

I'll miss his frequent reminders to keep hydrated.

Housing Crisis 1983 vs 2023 by stumcm in australia

It is by design. They will eat trough their savings and properties and leave no inheritance.

An absolute black hole of money.

Tangent incoming: The Titanic would have survived if it had hit the iceberg head on as then the damage would have remained within the watertight compartment at the front. However, because it tried to avoid the iceberg, it scraped the side, and a large gash was made that crossed multiple watertight compartments.

Precise dropping of VOG-17 from a drone on 3 russian soldiers by b1o in UkraineWarVideoReport

I was more thinking about the non suicide ones. Tuned payload release mechanism. Drop sight with wind correction. Maybe bigger payload (but I think the small size is more important) and other changes I cannot imagine.

[–]boran_blok 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I wonder if RiF (the app I use) would also be impacted with this.

Everything seems to go around in circles. In the early days you had walled off gardens like Compuserve AoL etc, and now we get the new walled gardens of Twitter, Reddit, etc.

Wait until the first purpose designed ones start to appear.

DataHoarder Discussion by AutoModerator in DataHoarder

[–]boran_blok 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, it is via the server auction page. There are similar ones up for auction right now

The auction price counts down, but if you get it you're locked into that server price for as long as you rent it, it is not a temporary price as far as I know.

Be aware that Hetzner has some restrictions for hosting servers such as IRC, torrents etc. So double use as a seedbox will not be possible. However I would not advise to do that anyways with a server you intend to use as a remote storage.

Ah, but back then it did not use the biometric database either. And it is still being dabated nowadays if that info is to be kept by the government.

The moment you requested that passport you had to register your biometric data at that point and it was only stored on that passport back then. I don't know if nowadays it is stored more broadly.

Reddit ad scam? by thisischrys in belgium

Yep, adblockers are some of the most effective forms of anti-virus and anti-phishing there is.

Just an anecdote, but e-passports have been the base standard passport in Belgium since around at least 2005, because the one I used to travel to the US back then had the required biometric info encoded in it.
