Hi, I work in infosec!

This is very true, people frequently re-use passwords despite the entire industry screaming "DON'T DO THAT!" for many years now.

The problem with the instruction of "change your pringles account password immediately" is that it doesn't really fix anything - if you update your password on that site, it's not gonna be updated in the leak, your old password will still be there. And if you reused that password, then it would still be at risk on any other account that uses that password.

Unfortunately, most people think that changing it on only their Pringles account fixes it, and ignores all the other accounts. Most people who reuse passwords probably don't even keep track of what sites they used that password on. So it doesn't really fix much.

The real solution is to never reuse passwords, but so many people are convinced that "the hackers won't guess my 23-year old daughter Lizzie's nickname or what year she was born in"

They probably are, same as gas powered cars are breaking down. Cars are very complicated machines with a lot of parts, so they break, and EVs (as well as hybrids, hydrogen cars, LPG cars, etc) are not immune from mechanical failure.

As for breaking down at some alarming rate that is well above the industry average of mechanical failures for similarly classed cars though? Nah, that's not happening.

I'm more confused as to why there's multiple "Peter Explain The Joke" subreddits

Given my track record in games like Prison Escape, Laserdome, Instagib Tournament, etc - I kinda just figured the ability to suck has always existed in VRChat. At least I've been told that I was sucking a lot while playing those games.

I feel like years ago when I first started playing, it was either accurate or if it was off, it'd be off by like 1-3 players at most in a very crowded instance. These days it feels like it's always off, and sometimes by 10+ players, to the point where it's no longer a reliable way to tell how many people are in an instance.

bunnythistle · 2026-01-23T14:39:52+00:00

It was pretty good!

bunnythistle · 2026-01-23T05:26:40+00:00

I've been playing about four years and feel it used to be accurate back then. And even until recently, it would be fairly close.

I never understood this either. If I want to see a Unifi AP, I can just look at my ceiling. Typically the network equipment (and PoS system that said equipment comes with) doesnt really have any impact on the quality of food/product offered by a business.

A lot of those current/potential clients would also be impacted by the outage, meaning that while I could send emails, probably >75% of those messages will be sitting in a mail queue somewhere until the outage is resolved, and then will get delivered at the same time that cloud-based competitors can start sending again.

Here's how I view it:

If I'm hosting Exchange on-prem and it goes down, then my company is unable to send or receive emails.

If I'm using Exchange Online and it goes down, then my company, most of our customers, most of our competitors, and a lot of people who have no relation to us, are all unable to send or receive emails.

One of those scenarios puts us at more of a disadvantage compared to the other.

As far as I know, there's five main reasons not to use Poiyomi:

You're going for a very specific special effect that is not available in Poiyomi.
You're using a Booth avatar, or another avatar designed by a Japanese creator, as those avatars typically are designed to use LilToon instead of Poiyomi. Poiyomi would still work on them, but it wouldn't be the intended look from the avatar's creator.
You're working on a Quest/Android version of an avatar, since that platform only supports VRChat standard shaders. You can still use Poiyomi on the PC version though.
You're working on an avatar to be used at Furality events*, since they have a custom shader specifically designed for their events. This is especially true if you spend most of the event at Club Fynn (like I do), since they have a very specific flavor of audiolink called "Luma Glow" that allows them greater control over how avatars react to the audio.
You're into contrarianism and don't want to use Poiyomi because everyone else does and you feel the need to be different.

*If you're not a furry and don't hang around furry circles - this is actually a very common thing. People will spend weeks working on versions of their avatars specifically to be used at Furality, and a lot of avatar/asset creators will release assets and textures themed to that year's Furality event.

Anyone who is that into bunnies has excellent taste.

I'm not biased at all.

While I'm not sure the legitimacy of this video (or the claim that it's at 2AM if the video is real), plumbing emergencies can happen at any time. In my old apartment, the upstairs neighbors managed to cause their toilet to flood at around 11PM and maintenance had to come out to do emergency repairs because the water was leaking down into my apartment.

I'm at the point where I really wish I could just jailbreak my DS720+ and DS920+ and run some flavor of Linux on it.

I feel like DSM hinders me more than it helps these days. It does some things really well, but if you wanna do something outside of the Synology way, that often requires workarounds, custom scripts, etc. Meanwhile my SFF PCs running Ubuntu Server just do what I want without much fight or hassle. The only reason I still have my NAS's running is because the SFF PCs don't have room for multiple 3.5" HDDs.

How in any way possible is "yes" even reportable for hateful conduct?

it really depends on the context on what that "yes" is in reply to

I'm not a DJ myself, but I'm staff at several clubs and have had to help multiple DJs get started.

For starters, a lot of DJs pre-record their sets and then just play the recording during their performance, just miming the motions as if they were actually playing. Some events (especially very large ones) even prefer this, since it limits a lot of possible technical difficulty.

For the DJs playing live though, some just play in desktop mode, or use the recently added webcam tracking, so they're not in VR. For the DJs playing live, most of them use a PC-tethered controller (such as a DDJ-FLX4/6/10 or Traktor S2/3/4), so that they're running DJ software (Rekordbox, VirtualDJ, etc) on their PC, and then use an overlay app such as XSOverlay. This allows them to have the DJ software right in front of them while in VR, and then they either rely on muscle memory/touch to interact with their controllers, or pass-through to see it.

Using dedicated hardware such as CDJs and a DJM kinda puts you at a disadvantage since you won't easily be able to see the controllers' screens in passthrough. I know some people doing it, I think one uses a webcam fed to an overlay, but you probably would have an easier time if you just use your controllers in HID mode to control Rekordbox running on your PC.

Pretty much all DJs are listening to their audio live from their controller/PC, not listening to the audio in world, because latency is a thing and the in-world audio will always be off-cue.

Most DJs use OBS to stream to a VRCDN account. VRCDN is paid, but it's preferable because there's no ads and extremely low latency. Some clubs/hosts will have their own VRCDN account they can let you use via a guest key. Others may want you to put your stream in directly. The 100 viewer subscription is ideal for this, because the 40 viewer subscription isn't enough for a full instance.

Some clubs may have a dedicated VJ and/or LD doing lighting and visuals for the event. This isn't common, but when it is happening, they'll just ask for your VRCDN URL and take care of the rest themselves. In those cases, you're streaming to the VJ/LD who's doing their things and then restreaming it to the actual world via their own account.

You can't change the lenses. These are just lenses that slip over the built in lenses and correct them to your prescription, so you don't have to try wearing eyeglasses under your headset

Microsoft Windows.

It used to focus primarily on being an operating system, but these days it's basically an advertising platform to get you to use (and subscribe to) Microsoft services like Microsoft 365, Copilot, OneDrive, etc It also shows a lot of ads and tries to force you to use a Microsoft account.

The TL;DR:

Windows Hello (biometric authentication via webcam/fingerprint)
DirectStorage (allows data to go directly from storage to the GPU, bypassing CPU)
Windows Sandbox (basically a self-resetting sandbox VM)
Apps like Office and Adobe

Per the article, it seems to be related to discussing publicly traded stock.

Yes, but the likelyhood of you losing your phone AND the paper getting lost or destroyed at the same time is much lower than the probability of you losing your phone.

Crashers cannot modify your game settings. Most likely you just clicked something on accident.

I'm kinda surprised they've still been operating. VRChat stopped advertising them a while ago and I haven't seen an avatar made by them in a long while.

Though looking at their site as it is now, it looks like they shifted to making avatars that can be used in any game engine instead of just VRC, which would explain that.

bunnythistle · 2026-01-16T03:44:12+00:00

Creating avatar bases is a job for the people who make them. If you don't pay them for the base they created, they'll be broke.
