You did not provide enough context in your original statement to distinguish between sarcasm and sincerity. Any sufficiently good old stupid statement is unrecognizable from parody.

States can get their hands on things for criminal investigations. Or they can get that data in the infectious disease database but usually that’s carefully anonymized into general steps of ten… But this… This is some messed up shit

Gotta get those high quality gains to lift more than the McVeigh’s

ah, yes, prejudice

Reddit blocks VPNs on desktop…

Oh gosh… It’s basically stock market spam

DDG is still the best.

Stop asking this same question repeatedly.

You can do it. I use a powered USB hub and a raspberry pi, and 5 hard drives.

It is a mess of cables but was simple enough.

I also sprang for a UPS because most filesystem’s I tried like zfs and btrfs didn’t appreciate random brownouts from running 4 drives off the pi itself.

Right now they’re xfs and used for a minio install and torrent storage

people get grumpy about containers vs nix vs flatpak and I just wanna say… I’m glad you’re using Linux. yes, you.

The lemmy devs would probably take something sensible like that and flat out shoot it down because they think they know better.

getting accidentally hired and finally making enough.

story: every job I’ve ever applied for in tech didn’t work out. I was a dishwasher until right before covid when someone recommended me for a cybersecurity position. Before that I had obsessed about FIRE or living in a car or being careful about too much starbucks or avocado toast… without making enough for a car or health insurance. That job paid ~half of what cybersecurity should pay, but was AMAZING. My next job paid just a hair under average, three years later. night and day, able to afford to exist without help.

financial advice be damned. I couldn’t “find” anywhere with lower rent. I was in the lowest cost of living possible regionally. What needed to change was the PRIMARY job’s income rate, not adding some side hustle. Either make rent cheaper or find a higher wage.

I’m not making enough to consider your next fancy moves like getting a house.

single dev… yeah no.

We salute you! raises Starbucks to toast

A CSPRNG is more than random enough for a playlist xD

Take it from someone who works in the field - computers do random well enough rotflol

CSPRNGs are a thing…

As are radioactive sources

And there’s mathematical tests for whether something is random enough

So no, computers really can do random xD

Not so much defending as offense…

I’m inclined to believe the local PD knows the addresses of officials… So they let this happen on purpose.

It’s the Hulu model

You and I might be talking about different things.

I mean that humans don’t like theoretically true random, as a cool side note

You seem upset about one implementation

Also, shuffling and having something appear near even though you throught it was shuffled is part of that finding patterns

Humans think real random isn’t random 🙃

It’s wild but they see patterns
