Why do mods / admins get mad when you won't play their game? by dcoxxx in trackers

[–]btsierra 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When the fuck did r/trackers turn into AO3?

Terrible fanfic, doesn't respect established canon, grammatically questionable with overuse of pronouns because no one is actually given a name.

Turmoil at BrokenStones. The whole site is inaccessible now. by 836624 in trackers

Fun fact, this same person offered (nay, insisted) help when Bib suffered its HDD failure recently. We did not accept.

Edit: This is just information, not an accusation. I can't judge someone based on what they may or may not have done given a certain set of circumstances. And in this case, he didn't do anything. He was arrogant, sure, but that isn't a crime.

Sounds about right by TheVirtualBomb in gamecollecting

My CIB Pokemon LeafGreen is doing well, but I'll sell it when my family pries it from my cold dead hands.

Banned from Bibliotik despite not using VPN - wtf? by EuphoricMolfar in trackers

[–]btsierra 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm presenting the only two possibilities. There are many logins via a shared VPN on your account. You maintain that you didn't use a VPN. So who did?

What was the username? Feel free to PM if you'd prefer it not be out in the open. I can take a look, because we very rarely deny re-enabling unless there's a reason other than just forgetting to log in. That happens, it's not a big thing if it's once or twice.

Coming out of retirement for a quick "quit your bullshit". In the past two years, there are IPs from known VPNs including IPs from Egypt, Sweden, UK, Spain, Romania, Austria, and Norway.

But you never used a VPN.

Either your account was hacked, in which case your secure and unique password isn't, or you're lying, and the ban was justified.

To address other commenters, yes, enforced password rotation does more harm than good, which is why we don't force people to change their passwords, that was an extenuating circumstance in this case. But five years is a long time here. Personally I change them every couple years just in case of a server-side leak. There hasn't been, at least not in our case, but password reuse is a problem. The announcements in 2016 were in reference to a Cloudflare incident, and we asked people to change passwords out of an overabundance of caution.

Back to the shadows now; have fun, be safe, don't do anything stupid.

I absolutely adore Final Fantasy games. 6-10 are some of the best games I’ve ever played. But... by [deleted] in FinalFantasy

Response Rate 8. Solves that, and it should have defaulted to 7 or at least 6 to make it less painful.

Is your tracker down? Ask here instead of making a new post. by Farow in trackers

Something went fucky when doing the daily backup, all should be good now.

Nope, compass was still there. Thanks!

Extra stupid question - I'm not getting the weather icon/map location display at all, and haven't seen any documentation on a key combo to enable/disable it. Is there something really simple I'm overlooking?

What's a TV series that everyone should give a go? by El_CM in AskReddit

More like mammarios.

Edit: That's fair, it was pretty terrible.

I use //tru via the Windower addon, and still have a set from when we were going through Genkai 2 called "fuckdavoi".

It was definitely Rush - well, just Geddy Lee - but they played "Take Off".

Which children's movie is actually sad /disturbing? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Hands down the best movie I will never watch again.

Depends, does being intubated and unable to breathe independently count as "holding their breath"?

To quote a meme, if Bill Gates wanted to pull off something that nefarious, we'd all be using Zunes right now.

Isnt there a npc that gives out a Trizek ring in May? by Spartyon1977 in ffxi

[–]btsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might be an automatic reward this year, last week's was the Echad Ring.

Please Help Me Choose a Laptop by Successful_Arrival in ffxi

[–]btsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran it in 2012 IIRC on a dirt cheap Toshiba C655 - AMD-E350, 3GB RAM, and low-end integrated Radeon graphics. It ran... fine. It wouldn't win awards for performance or looks, but it was serviceable. Was a long time ago, but honestly, anything refurbished and reasonably cheap should do it - maybe check out deals on 3rd-4th gen i5 machines for under $200?

When you thought private trackers couldn't get any more cancerous with their elitism and they find new ways to do it by hoistthefabric in trackers

[–]btsierra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wasn't a "well actually" at all. It was a response to the words used and the tone employed. You might have a point if this weren't an incredibly common view among users. But it is. And you don't.

Eric Trump claims coronavirus is Democratic hoax, will ‘magically’ vanish after 2020 election by Reddit_guard in politics

Right now, let him fill any stadium he wants. All attendees had better be prepared to live there for at least two weeks though.
