But still the sunken stars appear In dark and windless Mirrormere; There lies his crown in water deep, Till Durin wakes again from sleep.

  • What are some things you think of when you see something related to your field outside of work hours?

  • Sic!

    Do you often interface directly with the actual hardware on the rocket, or do you rather work with emulators and then pass the software on to some other person that in turn uploads it to the hardware?

    This topic is to freaking fascinating to me! 😆

  • Great question!

    I'm a parole officer tasked with interviewing defendants awaiting sentencing hearings and typing up pre-sentencing reports in which I give my recommendations to the courts regarding non-incarcerating sentences. As in, would a time-served and/or probationary sentence be appropriate in a particular case and why?

    I meet people that seem genuinely sorry for their crimes and people that give zero fucks. I meet people that are awaiting trial for having stolen an apple from a supermarket and people that have raped their own children.

    As I stroll about my town on my free time, I cannot stop myself - or my mind - from getting involved when I see people that seem to be having a hard time. I sometimes walk up to them asking how they are doing. Or asking them whether they could do without that last can of beer, or without shooting up that last injection. Or asking them who their social worker is and offering to walk them to the social services office.

    Since I started doing this job, I have lost the ability to ignore that which to a lot of people is mere nuisance. Social injustice, addiction, violence of any kind. I have become too sensitive to them, perhaps to my own detriment, since I sometimes receive death threats when I intervene. Hopefully, it's just the substance or an untrained attitude talking. 😄

  • Some users will be fine with it, some won't, me included. As for me, I'll just leave any and all instances that will require verification. If all forums start to require verification, I'll just start hosting my own ugly marvelous HTML forum. :D

  • When shopping, especially in fashion, do you take brand into consideration?

    Jump

  • I only buy used, except for underwear and footwear. Footwear is almost always limited to: for outdoor activities, The North Face since they have a pair of shoes called Hedgehog, which I have been buying every five years, or so, since maybe 2008. For formal occasions, Ecco, since they have leather-like shoes with air cushioning. I don't really care about the underwear, but I may have a tendency to buy 100% cotton.

  • What's your favorite place for royalty free music?

    Jump

  • I thought you wanted to listen to music for free, but then I understood that you are looking for royalty free music to use in some project of yours. Right?

    Anyway, I wrote:

    Or any of these:

    Never mind. Misunderstood the question.

  • Thanks for the input! :) I'm starting to really appreciate (more than otherwise) those that do contribute with hardware and instance hosting.

  • Hmm... Interesting! But then, what if there is a matter/post that needs immediate attention (CSAM, revenge porn, what have you...) and action or else the owner of the server faces legal actions? If I'm away at work or whatever, can't that be tricky?

  • I don't know why, but I laughed quite hard at this. Try putting "...mine has a little molex snake in the middle..." in any other context. XD

    On a more serious note, "yes" to everything you said. I "mounted" them to a repurposed bathroom rack. :)

  • Right, I was afraid of that. Also, while maybe it's the only feasible option for a hobby/volunteer project, automoderation has often ruined the fun of some subs over at Reddit when I was still using it.

  • I'm just playing around with the thought of it at the moment, so don't anybody get their hopes up, but here are a question three questions.

    I have 1Gbps bandwidth and about 4TB of storage to contribute with.

    1. would people be more interested in an NSFW meme community or rather just a porn sharing one - regardless of orientation?
    2. can one person run a community alone or is it not feasible - referring to how quick one has to be to act on infractions?
    3. are there legal aspects to consider if I were to setup an NSFW community? As in, for instance, would I be liable if people posted illegal content - considering that I'm hosting?
