  • “One could make the argument that this is like a fraudulent cheese,” Kehler said. “As a cheesemaker, it’s a fraud. It looks like a cheese. It might taste like a cheese. But it’s not. It’s not connected to our historical understanding of what cheeses are.”

    Oh fuck off, I love cheese arguably more than the next guy, and it’s one of the main reasons why I’ll stay as a vegetarian instead of going full vegan, but this is just stupid. Who gives a shit about “our historical understanding of” bla bla bla. With how processed most food is nowadays there’s clearly no historical connection to anything.

    Honestly this whole thing is pretty disgusting, there was clearly lobbying involved, and the fact that they changed their minds after 6 months and then changed the rules while pretending their decision makes sense is so obvious. I agree with the CEO, that committee or whatever should step down and be replaced. It’s clearly just people being afraid of change and losing money. If it looks like cheese, smells like cheese, tastes like cheese, then who gives a fuck if it isn’t ‘real’ cheese.




  • Does it really matter though? “Well you see, they didn’t actually see you naked, it was just a photorealistic approximation of what you would look like naked”.

    At that point I feel like the lines get very blurry, it’s still going to be embarrassing as hell, and them not being “real” nudes is not a big comfort when having to confront the fact that there are people masturbating to your “fake” nudes without your consent.

    I think in a few years this won’t really be a problem because by then these things will be so widespread that no one will care, but right now the people being specifically targeted by this must not be feeling great.


  • Thanks for the answers. I guess that was not clear from my post, but I do not want to expose anything to the internet. All I want to do is tidy up the urls to the services for clarity. I have no issue with installing Tailscale on every device I want to access my services with. I can currently access any service just fine by doing “tailscaleIP:PortOfService”, but that is kind of unpractical. So by using my domain and Cloudflare DNS I changed it to “mydomain.com:PortOfService” which is already better, but means I have to look up what port the service I need uses. Like I said in my post I’d ideally like “nameOfService.mydomain.com”, no ports. And yes I realize this is purely for convenience/aesthetic reasons. Apologies if my words are not clear enough.




  • I would disagree with the choice of words here, yes their stories are often not super deep or intricate, but I do believe they are extremely interesting, specifically because they are presented in such an appealing way.

    Just the elevator pitch for Hades sounds amazingly interesting, “you are the son of Hades fighting his way through procedurally generated dungeons to escape hell”, fuck yeah! Tell me more!

    And the impact is definitely there as well, because while depth is missing, the qualities you described make what little story there is quite impactful.

    Of course this is all just my opinion, but you can’t tell me that “you participate in ritualistic basketball games to free your comrades from a prison wasteland” doesn’t sound interesting.
