Man I remember when the web was new online gambling was banned. When the fuck did we get paid off? We know this shit is bad.

You cannot specify ports in a DNS A or AAAA record. www.example.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:443 and app.domain.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:5555

If the application (be it a game or whatnot) supports it, SRV records can identify a port for a hostname. So, you could have minecraft1.domain.com and an SRV record to specify port 25565, and minecraft2.domain.com SRV 25566.

This means you can have multiple Minecraft servers with the same IP address, but you won’t need to give people the port numbers to remember; the hostname allows the game to look up the port via the SRV record.

This is great for selfhosters because we generally only get one IP (until they rollout IPv6; probably half the reason they don’t)

It’s not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That’s cute.

Incredible how many people skip the article and substitute their own reality before commenting.

Article says nothing about Apple allowing law enforcement access to any user data.

There has always been plenty to criticize about Apple, but some of you people see their name and just get so [TRIGGERED]

Can’t keep archives of Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with and loved; will sue you for keeping copies of them.

Definitely ok to being three mile island back online for AI though, that’s the ticket to a better humanity!

For real why has everyone with any kind of money gone psycho? Have the bad guys started winning even harder?

The same applies to recorded content.

Wait until they go after livestreams

I think the meme is more about perspectives and listening to the way someone thinks about operating IT is very different from the way someone things about architecting IT

People still think Group X is funny and not problematic at all

Right there with you, Bob.

This is “It’s just a THEORY” but for programmers

Every time we do it we learn from it. That’s nowhere near zero.

Once again, for the executives with CTEs in the back:

Piracy is a service problem. These people are fans and they can’t afford your product, or it’s simply not available in your area. Make up the loss on price reduction and availability through sales volume. Cut out toxic partners who try to MBA you into gouging. You’ll still be rich and your brand won’t be damaged from all the gouging & prosecuting you’ll be doing otherwise. What are you, fuckin Nintendo?

Back in the 90s there was an article about some “spam king” guy who was blasting out millions of emails and basically crushing mail servers and making inboxes useless. They interviewed him and he was all indignant about it like “I have the right to do this” and all that.

That is when I knew the internet and humanity was doomed from the start.

Zoneminder was cool when it was the only game in town, but didn’t it save “videos” as a folder of JPEGs of frame grabs?

Yeah, always check all of this stuff. Server hardware gets a lot more updates than like gamer board BIOS, companies invest high millions, even low billions in this stuff and they expect problems to be address promptly for that kind of cash.

Check for any peripherals or cards, too. RAID, backplanes, networking cards; drivers, firmware, anything.

When it’s the only way is probably the only good answer to this; whether because you don’t have hardware or can’t set it up properly for whatever reason etc

What’s closed about OPNSense?
