  • On a highway you would usually go 80-120 kmh.

    No easy way to imagine that kind of speed in a car for most people.

    Here are some things and their speeds in kmh:

    • human falling at terminal velocity belly down: 200 kmh
    • plane right before touchdown: 250 kmh
    • f1 racer: 320 kmh
    • cannon ball being fired: 3000 kmh
    • fastest baseball pitch: 170 kmh

    Anyway, he probably has only a few more times of that before he crashes and instantly dies (and probably kills a bunch of people)





  • Nah, autistic people can be and are very intelligent, don’t let his complete cruelty and stupidity hide behind a diagnosis.

    Also removeded is mostly used as a slur meant to insult the intelligence of people by making a connection between lack of intelligence and developmental disabilities. The difference between the two is that developmental disabilities can cause lower intelligence but are actually mostly comprised of aspects not directly related to intelligence, such as not understanding or naturally picking up social cues, sensory issues that overwhelm the vrain making it hard to actually think properly (Imagine being stabbed, you would also have a hard time acting “normal” or intellectual at that moment) etc.

    Fuck elon, his fucked up words and actions cannot and should not be dismissed as any thing related to autism.


  • I disagree. I think that sometimes it is good to have a language that is correct to the setting of the movie but also it does make it harder to follow if you don’t speak that language and it does reduce from the visual aspect if you have to focus your eyes on the subtitles so it’s not always the best option.

    I would say that for slow-paced movies or documentaries it makes sense use the correct local language






  • in the context of the comment you referenced:

    Definitely have the server on its own VLAN. It shouldn’t have any access to other devices that are not related to the services and I would also add some sort of security software.

    If you have a public service that you expect to have multiple users on you definitely should have some level of monitoring whether it is just the application logs from the forum that you want to host or further have some sort of EDR on the server.

    Things I would do if I was hosting a public forum:

    • Reverse proxy
    • fail2ban
    • dedicated server that does not have any personal data or other services that are sensitive
    • complete network isolation with VLAN
    • send application logs to ELK
    • clamAV

    And if the user base grows I would also add:

    • EDR such as velociraptor
    • an external firewall / ips
    • possibly move from docker to VM for further isolation (not likely)




  • If for example the server is actually a computer in the LAN and maybe it’s also his media server and his backup server then potentially any compromise could lead to his personal information leaked and or other computers in the LAN compromised.

    So what could actually happen? His personal photos and passwords and accounts can be leaked or taken over. He could be spied on by accessing his webcam. A lot of things could go wrong.

    You are right. Learning by doing is awesome. Just be sure to do it in a safe way. Get a VPC. Do it there. No personal information, no access to other services. Just this service, just for this purpose. Worst case scenario, if it’s taken over, the only thing that’s harmed is the forum itself. Which is not the end of the world, I’m guessing.



  • Once I was at the train station as a young college freshman (maybe 1000$ to my name) there was this old guy looked like a grandpa and he told me that he didn’t have any money he lost his wallet and he needs to get some money to take the train and then take a cab back home. He looked so genuine and he really looked like he needed help. But of course the amount he needed was a bit much for me, he asked for 50$. He said that he will pay me back so I gave him my information for a transfer and he promised that he’ll pay me back and he was so thankful and I gave him cash. And of course he never paid me back and later I realized that it’s like a common scam in train stations that some people say they really need money to get somewhere but it’s just a scam.

    A few days later at the same train station some lady told me that she had no money and she needed to Take a train to go see her children and this time I was smarter and I told her “no problem Come with me, and I’ll buy you a ticket” and then she was like “no no I need money I need money” so I told her I can’t help her. And then I saw her again the next day and a few more times and apparently she’s like a very common scammer in that area.

    50$ for an important life lesson is a good bargain I think.
