It is a fun little thought experiment. Yeah, Lord of the Rings is largely cliche now because so much fantasy has borrowed from it so heavily for so long. But if it was never released the fantasy genre would be vastly different and if released in this alternate reality could be as impactful as it was when it originally released.

Because almonds are tasty as fuck. As long as someone else is testing the new strains that is a sacrifice I am willing to make.

“Most Entertaining of the Trilogy” Is not exactly high praise

Who the fuck wants to hang out in some DRM community anyway? That would be a super weird bunch of people.

Poor guy. It’s all he had.

Now that is one hell of a product tagline

This must consume a tremendous amount of processing to do since they would have to transcode copies for every ad region/campaign and every resolution on demand. I am interested in how they made this financially viable.

I have been mostly happy with minio but the setup and update process are a bit painful so next time I find myself annoyed with it I might have to give this a shot.

The AI solution will be to stop producing food. That would save enormous amounts of energy.

Must have been profitable enough to satisfy the bean counters. I just have a hard time thinking they can make another profitable movie after everyone knows what a pile of shit the first one was.

I was just thinking to myself the other day about how many actually good movies Mark Wahlberg has been in. I could only come up with The Fighter and Boogie Nights. He is a terrible actor that does terrible movies. Good on him I guess for still being so popular.

Hopefully he prayed really hard

My junk would probably fall out of those but they look comfortable

Same group of dick holes that love to put thin blue line flags everywhere

Live service huh… D.O.A to me

Like what is your exit plan on this? How long did they think they could convince people this guy was living. You can’t exactly present a mummified corpse one day and say “welp he died”.

I think this is the correct answer. I am very smart in a few things. Average at a bunch of things and dumb regarding tons of things.

As long as you do not allow password logins for ssh you can let the silly idiots beat their heads against it or you could use a script to ban them. They will not brute force a properly secured ssh server.

I would be mostly annoyed about the log entries. That would be my primary motivation to ban script kiddy hack attempts.

Lemmy has the disadvantage of being opensource. In the long run this can be good for security but in the short term this gives your enemies a blueprint of your software and they know exactly how to attack you.

The only time I have every been compromised was when I was running 3rd party code open to the internet. I have been running my own code open to the internet for 20+ years and have been safe with it. I don’t think I am some kind of god coder or anything but I am mindful of best practices and most importantly I am a small fish in a big pond.

Long story short is that running popular 3rd party code open to the internet exposes you to unique threats that you should be prepared for. Subnet/vlan it, vpn it, lock it down,

I have heard that they do this but in about 2 years of having mine and doing nothing out of the ordinary they have left it alone. There was even a decent chunk of time where it was just sitting there idle. I have heard people say that having a credit card on file helps but I have never had any form of payment on file nor ever purchased anything from them.

These days I just have uptime kuma on it.
