sometimes… the 911 operators had machines that connected to a shitload of audio sources simultaneously… think all emergency service radio bands (police/fire/sheriff) as well as the land-lines and cellular networks… this was back before texting to 911 was a thing.

i was always testing external radios and phone sources. the cell providers were the worst (at the time)… sometimes 911 would work for Primeco but not Verizon or whatever so each cell provider had to be tested independently.

it was just weird first doing it as i grew up terrified i would accidentally dial 911.

i got a job working tech support for 911 and had to make test calls regularly from different sources

the fediverse is incredibly public.

its like having your own little radio station broadcasting into the void. once those waves hit the air you cant take it back.

deletes/edits are niceties… but the fact is you put it on the fediverse and everyone else gets to decide what to do with it.

yes my world will burn when they crack into my jellyfin instance and magically break out of its docker container and then what? goo nowhere on its vlan?

literally thousands of self-hosted jellyfin/emby instances and the support forums are just chocked full of people getting hacked via it! so many!

oh wait, no there arent

oh noes! im so ddead!

eh, maybe. for me it was opening a port and adding a dns record. took me all of 4 minutes

im kinda lucky in that my isp uses ‘sticky’ ips so while its not static, ive had the same ip for 5 years

friends don’t let friends use plex.

its paywalling yourself

i feel this… i donate time to senior citizens, and its mostly mint upgrades from windows as they do not want to have to update their windows machines.

its very easy. they know many of their users are not experts.

ive been through many of these upgrades and have a dozen or so machines runnin mint… upgrading has never gone sideways on me. its one of the benefits of mint. their upgrade processes are very well tested.

theyre just people, with possibly very shitty opinions. your issue is weighting their opinions disproportionately to your relationship with them (none).

if youre happy with yourself, other peoples attacks hold no power.

also, i like to keep the old quote in mind ‘be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle.’ as it helps maintain perspective when speaking to people who could react negatively.

if i can make it to 60 on a diet of corn syrup, hotdogs and microplastics i think youll prolly hit 40

i get it, this shit sucks… but this is a bit hyperbolic

elected officials stock trading

is it the idea that you should only ever care about yourself and fuck everyone else? cuz that seems like priority #1 for united states conservatives

when i realized ‘gods word’ is man-made… and all humans lie.

the faith everyone talks about isnt faith in god. its their faith in the humans that fed them those fairy tales.

I’m sorry

troll-y mctrollface is sorry? awsome!

its a troll, pure and simple. zero substance, all antagonism

im sorry, we couldnt hear you all nestled in your armchair like that.

we get it, you are severely butt-hurt by this for some reason. to each his own.

how about this… when you get a trans kid, you can handle the situation the way you want. in the meantime, you can mind your own fucking business and let parents be parents for their kids. let those parents chosen professionals do their jobs.

its clear you cant hear yourself being absolutely incapable of minding your own business. what are some other parents and their doctors decisions have to do with you?!

prolly the same reason arm-chair reactionaries make wild assumptions such as ‘that transitioning children is both physical, sexual and emotional abuse’ instead of leaving it to, you know, professionals.

idiots.
