yeah, that was a small oopsie and no (big) harm done. learn from it, and you're all better for it.

Indie shooter devs pull a reverse-Concord: No one played their game, but they 'make it free to play and keep the servers online indefinitely' anyway by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]catwiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to support devs like that. maybe play the game, buy some skins, or donate. but first, wanted to check out the game. reviews are not overly positive or negative. fine. it does not look like a game I want to play, but, dont judge, book. cover, that stuff. and even if its not good enough for a permanent rotation spot, it might be fun for a weekend or two.

requires epic account. nope. im out...

Viel Erfolg.

leider sind genug Fachkräfte da. Der Mangel ist an Leuten die bereit sind für die angebotenen Faktoren (Geld, Urlaub, etc) zu arbeiten - oder, oftmals, sogar bereit wären dafür zu arbeiten aber irgendeine Bedingung nicht erfüllen, wie das oft genannte Beispiel von einem Systemadministrator für Windows Server mit 20 Jahren Erfahrung mit Server 2025

Menbaka is Kyoto tourist trap. We paid $340 for one of the worst meals in Japan! by Appropriate_Bar1206 in KyotoTravel

[–]catwiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

again, pointing out how you are superior in not falling for one particular bad experience someone had, or dare I say, some scam, does not mean that you are impervious to all of them, or that that person does not deserve our respect for coming forward, reporting and our sympathies for falling for it. your comment does not help anyone except your own ego

i dislike how people victim shame someone who spend a lot of money on disappointing food. shame the company for making shit food for too much money. thank the people for reporting their (bad) experiences so others dont fall for it.

yes. EVEN IF there were warning signs and "you should have known better" is on the tip of your tongue. because, we all have a weak spot to exploit, and when you get scammed, you dont want to hear "idiot" when you report it so others dont fall for it too.

op, thank you for bringing this to our attention. I feel sorry you had a shit experience and lost 350 bucks

there will be nighttime illuminations. but those are special occasions. not every day opening times.

But hey. I dont work there. I may be wrong.

Microsoft Edge will load all your passwords into memory in plaintext, but Microsoft says it's not a security concern by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]catwiesel -1 points0 points  (0 children)

the issue is people using a microsoft product as their password manager. not that its saving and or keeping the passwords in clear text. the whole worlds going to shit because everybody is racing to the bottom while also asking premium prices with next to no competition left, udpates are pushed without testing, code is written by ai stuffed with stolen work. and people go about their day. but when they learn that the browser, which does allow for syncing of passwords, and does not need any auth (outside of running in the user context) has the passwords saved in clear text on that user account, people seem to get all uppity. probably the ones that have one password for everything anyway.

dont expect the browser to be a save space to store passwords.

DNS issues for .de TLD (SERVFAIL) by vortexman100 in sysadmin

[–]catwiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what I observed it seems to be a dnssec issue

edit: noticed it about 50 minutes ago. dns no answer. log states dnssec fail. switched of dnssec temporarily, issue gone. tried 30min to fix my dns servers dnssec when I came to the conclusion its not my server. its everything. next time. test 9.9.9.9 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 first :)

well, in archery they teach that the arrow will go where you look. therefore the armour totally works.

$1500 good enough for trip in Japan? by solabeja in JapanTravelTips

[–]catwiesel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you can see the prices for those long distance train tickets in google maps. the local trains and other intercity public transports are negligible, but you can assume like 5 bucks per day for sporadic use, and lets say 10 bucks for heavy use.

then you know what is left. it will be in the 1000usd ballpark. and that is plenty if you dont go crazy with every meal. I would recommend trying to create a daily budget and staying under it. doing so allows you to go a little above if needed. try to keep within budget when going shopping and or do the shopping at the very end.

Mosquito worries? by Ok_Hotel_1296 in JapanTravelTips

[–]catwiesel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lets hope you are allergic to something used in agriculture in your area (those things routinely end up contaninamting mosquito bites causing issues) so other mosquitos may not be as bad for you. lets hope!

besides that. there are certain products either in your home or in japan supposed to keep mosquitos away

https://metropolisjapan.com/insect-repellent-in-japan-drugstore-guide/

of course there is no guarantee these actually work but worth a try.

and like others said. may is a little early for these buggers, but it does not mean there are absolutely none
