TIL the term Redneck likely originated from the sunburned red neck of those working in fields.

    Well, it's also interesting for non native speakers who never thought about it, or just didn't make the connection. I always assumed that was the reason for the term, but it's nice to have confirmation.

    Always wondered why anyone would rather talk to a person than take their time, have a nice overview of the menu, and pay in advance. I guess they are gross though.

    There are doxxing websites? Like purpose-made? Isn't that illegal? Article doesn't mention the name, but says it has been used before. Wouldn't it just get deleted after the first time?

    Then why not train an AI on the entirety of Wikipedia? I know it's not all correct, but that should ensure most of the information is decently accurate. Would make for a great tool if it allowed to get the same info but explained in a more casual manner.

    Lmao are you also mad when players in sea of thieves sink your ship? Or when people in GTA online shoot you? If you don't like that kind of gameplay don't play the game

    Nah, I'd love to be able to ask an assistant to make sense of the dog shit layout in word, instead of having to blindly click at menus for 10 minutes, then finally give up and Google for 10 more minutes, all because Microsoft thought it would be cool and intuitive to split menus into "view", "review", "layout" and "design", because those words don't basically all mean the same thing.

  • Arrowhead CEO says Helldivers 2 balancing patches have 'gone too far' recently: 'It feels like every time someone finds something fun, the fun is removed'

    I was agreeing with you but ok.

    What I'm talking about is the culture of constantly balancing everything, which inevitably creates a meta that needs to be followed. In pve games like helldivers, no need to balance imo. Back when constant patches in games weren't a thing, a strong gun was just that, a strong gun.

    Also, even though I don't play the 2nd game, from cursory readings of Reddit and Lemmy posts that reach the front page, it seems a lot of players are quite mad at some weapons being stronger than others.

    I fucking hate the "meta" era of online gaming we are in. Everything has to be meta. "You shouldn't use that gun, it deals 0.3 DMG less than the others", "that armor is bad since patch 27383727 3 minutes ago", "how dare you play this champion that has a 2% lower win-rate".

    Fuck off, meta is something that became relevant for pro gaming. I don't give a shit about the meta, this is bronze, it literally doesn't matter at the skill level 99% of players are at. People just want to have something to blame when they lose: "of course you won, that weapon is OP/imba/busted".

    And it's making its way into pve/coop too now. Every time I launch a new online game I have to learn what people want me to play so that I don't get yelled at. How about you just let me play? So what if my build is not optimal?

    I think gaming has made amazing strides, but along the way some people forgot that the main goal is to have fun.

    It's really sad that they chose to implement it. I would've loved to play Helldivers 2 but I just refuse to allow them that level of access to my device, especially for a game that isn't even competitive.

    Thanks for the clarification. So I can surmise that length is everything then? Given that I use a password manager I'll just stick to my long gibberish passwords in that case, but it's good to keep passphrases in mind for use cases where I can't copy/paste easily.

  • I've spent too many hours googling this stuff without a solution in sight that I'm able to understand. I am moderately new to selfhosting, especially the networking aspect. To put it simply, all I want is to be able to access my services through Tailscale by using subdomain.mydomain.com. I have gotten so far to point my domain to my Tailscale IP (using Cloudflare's DNS), so that I don't have to copy paste the Tailscale IP, but that means I still have to type in the ports to the services. Between the posts saying Tailscale can handle this, to the ones saying Synology can do it, and the remaining posts saying to use a reverse proxy (and the ones saying reverse proxy are a bad idea because of Synology stuff) I am now very lost. The terminology is exhausting and everyone is already so knowledgeable that they skip the basic steps and go straight to complex, short answers. I'd like to keep using Tailscale, as I don't want to deal with security issues and SSL certificates and all that, and if possible I'd like to avoid using a reverse proxy such as npm or Caddy if there's a built in Tailscale/Synology solution that works. To me more services just means more stuff that can break, and I really just want this stuff to work without fiddling with it. Thanks for any help you can provide

    I am at my wits end with this and kindly ask for assistance. I cannot for the life of me decide on how to set up my music library for the foreseeable future: * I started out having my library on my local pc, managed by MediaMonkey * As I bought a NAS, I moved my library to it and used Navidrome to stream it to an android app (Synfonium) * This meant that I'd lose the MediaMonkey management, but I thought for now I'd just manually transfer new songs/playlists over to the NAS when needed * As I started streaming with Navidrome, I noticed that the speeds were really bad and music often buffered (no idea why, Jellyfin works fine), so I cached all the songs offline * This made me think that I don't even need Navidrome since at that point I could just copy the music files to my phone if they're gonna be offline anyway, but then I don't have a backup on the NAS And now I'm kinda lost, unsure what the best way to handle this is. I'd like to keep MediaMonkey in the flow for library and playlist management, and streaming is pretty cool for those times where I'm listening on other devices. However, having the music on my NAS just seems to create an extra middleman. What's most important to me is a smooth mobile experience, with a good UI and no interruptions, as that is where I listen to music 95% of the time. How do you do it ? Any suggestions for how to future proof my setup without too much of a hassle (still kinda new to all this stuff)? For reference I don't have a huge music library, maybe a few dozen GB, so it still fits easily on my phone. Sorry if this was too long or doesn't fit the subreddit, but I hope someone can enlighten me.

    Ich gehe stark davon aus das ich in dieser Community dafür kein positive Reaktion kriegen werde, aber egal. Wenn ich hier die ganzen Posts und Beschwerden lese werde ich immer ein bisschen verärgert, da konstant auf andere Verkehrsteilnehmer geschissen wird, ohne jemals zu adressieren wie die Mehrheit der Fahrradfahrer sich selber als Verkehrsteilnehmer verhält. Ich fahre sowohl Auto als Fahrrad regelmäßig, und es ist keine Übertreibung wenn ich behaupte das nicht mal 20 Prozent der Fahrradfahrer auf der Strasse sich ordentlich an die Regeln halten. Man fährt über rot, schlängelt sich gefährlich durch Stau, wechselt konstant vom Bürgersteig auf die Strasse so wie es gerade passt, und scheint einfach grundsätzlich das Motto zu haben "ich halte mich an die Gesetze, ausser wenn es gerade doof ist". Sogar wenn ich mit Freunden Fahrrad fahre, regen die sich immer darüber auf das ich bei rot tatsächlich warte weil es ja "eh egal ist". Vieles muss noch getan werden um Städte besser für Fahrräder zu gestalten, und ich bin grundsätzlich pro weniger Autos, aber ein wichtiger Schritt meiner Meinung nach damit Leute anfangen Fahrradfahrer wirklich ernst zu nehmen auf der Strasse, ist wenn diese einsehen das sie keinen Sonderstatus haben nur weil sie ein kleineres und agileres Fahrzeug steuern. Und damit möchte ich nicht sagen das Autofahrer (und fussgänger) heilige sind. Ich weiss wie gefährlich und idiotisch Menschen sein können, und wie gefährlich es ist *nicht* die Person in der Tonnenschweren stahlbox zu sein, jedoch bin ich fest davon überzeugt das wenn man ebenbürtig behandelt werden will, man sich auch am die gleichen Regeln halten soll, egal wie nervig das gerade ist. Ich fahre ja auch nicht im Auto über rot nur weil gerade niemand anders an der Kreuzung ist. Und bevor jetzt Leute kommen die sagen "Aber ich mach das ja nicht", schön. Trotzdem passiert es vielleicht bei einem von 10 Malen, das ich einen Fahrradfahrer sehe der ordentlich fährt, so selten das ich mich teilweise richtig freue wenn es endlich mal passiert, denn das macht es auch für mich einfacher die Person mit Abstand und Vorsicht zu behandeln, wenn sie sich nicht unvorhersehbar und impulsiv verhält.
