@ins0mniak She's the reason mercaptan is in natural gas, but it's futile
@ins0mniak @graf I did night shift hotel security/janitor for a while, had an alarm sound one night, only audible in the basement utility area. Wasn't trained on it but found the source and saw it was from the fire suppression system. Supervisor left me with a list of numbers.
Called, guy came out, diagnosed it, false alarm. He filled me in about the horrors of aged fire-suppression systems, I guess they're meant to be flushed regularly otherwise black sludge comes out when it finally goes off.
@ins0mniak @graf Stake that shit out dude
@ins0mniak @graf I once set up an rPi3 on a battery bank with a $5 webcam as a ghetto security camera, for a Fedex delivery I needed to receive. Can recommend.
There was no issue that time but I like to believe it's because I went the extra step to collapse the quantum eigenfunction or w/e.

@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Fuck CSS even, it's Gopher time
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 xfce4 my DE of choice to this day too. Unfortunately was a wincuck for most of my youth but it's starting to pay off in family-boomer tech support fees
@ForbiddenDreamer @ins0mniak @graf @professionalbigot69 Destiny 2 and Rust are the only examples I know of, both devs just drew an arbitrary line because "muh hackers" even though Easy Anti-Cheat (which they both used) fully supported Linux.
Destiny 2 is slop, Rust is full of cancer, so I'm not really missing out either way. But fuck man just flip the switch
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 On linux?
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 I'd be happy if they just banned Linux users from whatever "community" servers they list in the browser, but opened them up to joining whatever private server. Retvrn
@graf @ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @professionalbigot69 Well either way, my statement stands. Dedicated servers are a wild west anyway.

10@ins0mniak @ForbiddenDreamer @graf @professionalbigot69 I still remember being ~12 years old playing Q3TA, going from heavily-throttled local-ISP cable to an ADSL trial. The ping difference was palpable.
Makes no sense given what I know about network mediums now, but holy hell I couldn't go back when the trial ended.
That was probably the last time I had really good fun in an FPS multiplayer game, and it's over 2 decades ago.
Yeah I used dial up until like 2004 or maybe 2005 lol.
I used to download movies from the old p2p clients like KaZaA and Morpheus with dial-up. I remember it taking 2 days to download LoTR Fellowship of the Ring when a bootleg first came out lol.
