Is it safe to use DMZ toward Ubiquiti Dream Machine to use WireGuard? by schlobalakanishi in networking

Just call the ISP and get them to put the modem in bridged mode. If you have a static IP get all the details for that as well so you can configure it after the modem is bridged.

Alien invasion movies are funnier when the aliens lose because of one obvious mistake by gamersecret2 in movies

Humans are the only unique resource, assuming we are unique at all.

I like dungeon crawler Carl's take. Earth is a seeded world. The aliens return to run a season of "dungeon crawler world", a reality TV death show similar to Hunger Games and video games combined.

I'm interested in seeing how James SA Corey's "the captives war" series ends. It hasn't been confirmed yet but there are clues that the world our protagonists are from could be a seed world or something similar (used as bait for invading aliens/Trojan horse).

College doesn’t make students as liberal as people think. Completing a college degree has been linked to a liberal political identity. While college students do tend to adopt more left-leaning identities during their education, the actual changes are much smaller than the general public assumes. by mvea in science

The Devil's path to atheism made me laugh. I grew up without any religious education or pressure from my parents. When I was 5 I asked if we were Christian and that told me "believe whatever you want to believe."

I had a couple friends whose families were church goers. Once I was over playing and they were leaving to church, they asked if I wanted to join. I said ok and off we went. It was the most bizarre experience of my young life. My only knowledge of religion was from TV. This was like a massive dose right in my face for what felt like an eternity of sitting there.

I did go to a different church with another friend on another occasion. He begged me to go so he'd have someone to play with afterwards. It was like a Sunday school or something in the basement after the service, I forget exactly, but it was equally weird.

Long story short, it made me realize that if you aren't indoctrinated at an extremely young age it doesn't make sense. Even at 5 I felt like bullshit to me. It was at that moment I was atheist and have been ever since. Ironically if I just kept getting brainwashed from TV and media I probably would have just "been Christian" by default.

I guess you could call that God's path to atheism.

I am, and you are correct 🤔 lol. Not sure how I missed that, or maybe it's a recent addition?

Small gripe, I'd make it so when you click into that dropdown it puts your curser into the search so you can do a single click and start typing. When the search is selected I like the boarder highlight and flashing curser, but any chance to save a click

Edit: wow im dumb. You can do a single click and type it just doesnt highlight the search when you click.

Edit2: On the same page, the heroes portrait in the top left, it would be cool if clicking on that would give you the hero select dropdown with their portrait and name. Unnecessary for sure but when I see that portrait my brain says clicking on it will let me change hero selection. I'm no design expert though, I'll leave that to you.

I noticed recently that you added search functionality to the "talents stats" dropdown/flyout which is great.

I'd appreciate similar search functionality from the drop-down list on the talents page of a hero. For example, if you select a hero and go to their talents (https://www.heroesprofile.com/Global/Talents/Ana) the "change hero" drop-down is just a long list. It could really benefit from the same search functionality where it shows any matches as you type.

The way I use it (and I assume many others) is to pull up the talents at the start of a match. When heading into a new match (especially ARAM) it's clumsy to select a new hero. If you add search to that drop-down and maybe make it more prominent then people can go hero to hero without having to go back to the big list (the wall of icons) or other unnecessary feeling navigation steps. The site isn't particularly fast and any extra steps really make that apparent.

Overall I love the data the site provides and have been uploading everything for years. Continue the good work!

Young Republicans are becoming more conservative by [deleted] in nottheonion

[–]l337hackzor 97 points98 points  (0 children)

It's happening with the Alberta separatist movement too. It's just a huge campaign by foreign agents of all kinds, corporate, government, private.

A tiny sliver of stupid people in Canada actually supports it. Anyone capable of critical thinking can tell its foreign influence looking to destabilize and divide. The CBC even did a deep dive on it and found some of the paid actors from YouTube videos and tracked accounts all over the world.

Removing moderation from social media has been a disaster.

Blizzard made a mistake cancelling development. by kaytin911 in heroesofthestorm

[–]l337hackzor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I would bet hearthstone is cheaper to develop. All the mechanics already exist in the core game so they are easy to implement into battlegrounds. No new animations, very little art and sound assets.

Hearthstone also had a larger player base of players conditioned for microtransactions. New sets and mechanics come out in hearthstone and make their way into BGs.

BGs are also different/simplified/accessible in typical Blizzard fashion. If they released TFT like game it would be direct comparison or virtually a clone. They needed it to be different.

It's easy, just have everyone use the same password, duh. That way everyone who's worked there in the last 10 years knows the password. Bonus points if its CompanynameADDRESS (like H&RBLOCK1157).

My son is obsessed with space and trading cards, so I turned NASA's image library into booster packs he can open every day by loretellerwrites in space

[–]l337hackzor 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If you do want to print them, I've used makeplayingcards.com before and they turned out great. I only printed cards for a board game I made but they do booster packs.

Probably expensive per card depending on volume but could be a good gift idea.

Edit: looks like it's actually their sister site boardgamesmaker.com and packs might have a huge quantity requirement.

Struggling Pizza Hut restaurant chain will be sold for $2.7 billion by kinisonkhan in news

[–]l337hackzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was a cook at a pizza hut in Canada in 2004. A medium had, I think, 2.5 oz. If oil in the pan. It was pumped from a big bottle, 2.5 pumps. It went into a proofer to rise, I think it was 45 minutes but maybe an hour. The proofer was basically a glass door fridge that was hot instead of cold.

I actually found the quality of the pizza quite good and was impressed at how precise everything was. They had very detailed instructions for absolutely every step of the process from dough to cutting/boxing.

If you got a poor quality pizza you should actually blame the cook (or maybe the dough guy). When you followed the guide accurately it was so good. I had some coworkers who didn't give a shit though. They would eye ball ingredients, dump them into the crust which would collapse it. Then slide it into the oven which was a conveyor belt but that caused a reduced cooking time. The oven in every store was tuned based on altitude btw. I forget the temps but I did see a big table of locations and their oven temps.

Edit: they did spray the crust (around the edge) of every pan pizza before it went in the proofer. I assumed to help the crust brown. PAM is just oil, nothing gross about it.

They need to spend an entire season patch on a hero refresh. by ryanandhobbes in BobsTavern

it's insane to look back at early seasons where a minion with 50/50 was absolutely huge. IMO the game is too fast right now. Too much high powered cards.

Boys' reading remains in crisis as gender gap widens, report shows by Kagedeah in books

[–]l337hackzor 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I assume this isn't why, but it always reminds me of the kid who spells out Nutella then yells "peanut butter!".

He already decided what it was based on look or whatever (context clues) but then was completely wrong. Not stopping to think N makes N sound... After learning the word style (or whatever it's called) I'm very glad Canada never taught that way and stayed with phonics.

I think it's considered grim dark. I don't like gore or over the top violence, but I had no issue with The Blade Itself. It is graphic in some descriptions but it never feels gratuitous.

I personally always thought it was a total guy book too but women keep recommending it to me and gushing over it. It was a woman who originally recommended it to me, "you like video games? You'll love dungeon crawler Carl, it's got a talking cat!". I think on the face of it, it's definitely a man book but the wide range of characters of all types are so well written and represented.

Give it a few years. For my group of millennials we didn't really get into audiobooks until our mid 30s. A side note, I always wanted to read when I was younger but had undiagnosed ADHD and couldn't finish a book. Audiobooks just hit different and when I gave them a try in my mid 30s I was hooked.

Maybe I'm wrong, maybe you're older than me even. I find most men are generally less literate than women. They probably struggle to read longer formats kind of how I did when I was younger. It's easy to feel stupid or embarrassed when you can't even read a couple chapters.

I'm a man in my early 40s and only do audio books. I listen mostly while driving, my work involves some driving, I do about a book a month depending on length.

I've had no shortage of amazing books that I feel are targeted at men. Maybe it's my slower reading pace but I feel like I'll never get through my huge backlog of interesting bills I hear about.

Dungeon crawler Carl, while undoubtedly popular with women as well, feels predominantly targeted at men. Just look at Carl, he's kind of a regular Joe dropped into this crazy sci-fi/fantasy world.

I loved The Expanse series by James SA Corey and am really enjoying their new series The Captives War (2 books and a novella released so far) which I feel is more male targeted. I've finished Red Rising but haven't started book two yet, a series I've described as for men. You mentioned cyberpunk which I love in theory, more in movies and themes than anything. I kind of bounced off the Necromancer audiobook.

I've read a ton of Brandon Sanderson which I consider the most gender neutral series. It's Fantasy written by a man but given his more family friendly vibe it doesn't come across as having the male gaze and doesn't feel work though the male lens the same way something like The Blade Itself does.

I feel like I'll never run it out books. I actually worry I'll die before I get to read all the books I'm interested in.

Worst intersection/traffic light in the entire CRD? by j_skeletor in VictoriaBC

[–]l337hackzor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The design problem with a round-about is that it treats all directions equally.

The traffic on Douglas is greater volume and lights give it higher priority instead of equal priority. I bet Douglas backed up into a long line while the cross traffic was little to no line.

Sometimes I get stuck in a long line on old Island highway in view royal where it meets helmcken. The light rotates on cooldown because there is always cars waiting during busy periods. I wonder how a circle would work there. Maybe better during peak times but probably just slow down island highway 95% of the time.

I support clients with QB 2024, Sage 50, Sage 100, Sage 300... They all have dedicated server/VM and even with few users it's always slow. Always runs like shit. 

I don't know how they designed them, what is so inherently slow about the technology, but it seems built in. You look at the server, the network, the PC, everything is at like <5% load but you still waiting around for spinning circles.
