someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that for it to be possible, the application that plays the mkv file would have to have a remote execution exploit and the code for the virus would be executed through the player. the player would be required to have elevated privileges. I think this is exceptionally unlikely for vlc

To be fair he opens everything in seconds.

I have recently replaced two Schlage Zwave locks with the Encode locks because have trouble with zwave at the front door. The zwave locks perform well and the back door lock always worked 100% of the time, integrated well with home assistant and HomeKit bridge.

The encode locks are more attractive and the lock mechanism is nicer and a lot quieter than the locks I replaced.

Are you ok?

I have 1010 fingers

There are several risks. The two most obvious ones are

• you run the risk of forgetting to use https and everything you are doing is visible to your isp
• the site admin doesn’t know enough to turn off http so they are probably not securing your data in any meaningful way

To me it’s an indication that the admin doesn’t know what they’re doing and will likely suffer a data breach eventually

Ok then you’ll be a statistic eventually.

Super sketchy that it loads a non-secure version. You probably should be using the https version, but I’d probably just stay away.

OP didn’t say listening to music is pointless. Try rereading the post.

Since my phone is water resistant, I put a magnetic mount in the shower to listen to music, podcasts, and the occasional Teams meeting if I’m running late.

You’re not qualified to have an opinion on TDD — ThePrimeagen

“Some” is the operative word. Those who do are usually seen as idiots.

It would be better if they share the site/ai model they’re using so people can do this for themselves. Thingiverse doesn’t need an influx of likely unprintable random models

That’s just like your opinion man

I enjoyed 3D movies and wish it became a thing. I still break out the 3D glasses for my TV every once in a while

I enjoyed the concept of the book. I didn’t like being constantly reminded that Ryland Grace was a teacher as if I couldn’t remember that between chapters. There was way too much of this beating me over the head with simple science and reminders of things that happened earlier that it took me out of enjoying the story.

A good thing to note is that both of those bars you mentioned have different names. That makes it easier to know which to go to, once I figure out which is which.

The name thing doesn’t seem that complicated. I already know that !memes@slrpnk.net are gonna be lefty memes

Lol. I can only assume it’s a massive joke and I’m just not in on it. !memes@slrpnk.net in no way means “lefty memes”. It only proves my point

The bar analogy is interesting but is missing the most important factor: All of the bars have the same name. The only difference is where they are located. Now I have to go to each one because I have no idea if they’re a soccer themed bar or a karaoke bar.

Even if the redundant communities somehow solve themselves (which I doubt), there will forever be an abandoned community polluting the search results because no one is going to delete it.

When I look at the many communities with the same names, I completely stops me from interacting with them. Most of the time I know they’re going to be copies of each other with a bunch of duplicate content reposted to infinity.

I think your example is interesting but i disagree with your assertion that it some how facilitates finding niche content.

For example it would be difficult to have to explicitly know that obscure-instance.xyz/c/games hosts content about 90’s graphic adventure games from the Netherlands and programming.dev/c/games is actually about game design and not games generally. A better way, IMO, is to just name your community what it is. Names likeadventure_games_nl and game_design offer a significantly better user experience. If we want to make the fediverse feel accessible to people, it has to be easy to find what you’re looking for.

This whole thing feels like crypto where everyone has their own coin and they only kind of work together if you have some kind of exchange and some people accept Bitcoin and not Doge. It’s just too complicated for non technical people.
