  • This was the reason I stopped consuming it. I am not against porn, I like it, but verifying it is basically impossible. The issues usually boil down to money, same as usual.Could be someone being forced by an individual.Could be someone being forced by society (sex work as only way to afford college/healthcare/feeding a kid etc. even though the person feels being destroyed by it).Could be private recordings posted as revenge.You can't really know.Of course that's a problem with other professions too, but all that can be done under capitalism is harm reduction. Similar to not buying from Nestle.

    I just tried to think of what I can get absolutely ethically. Nothing. Even when thinking of vegetables directly from a farmer, dig in, and pesticides. How do they affect the environment, how were they produced, what happens to packaging. Nothing is 100% ethical. All I can do is try to avoid the worst or unnecessary.

  • From a deal on racknerdtracker.com (so RackNerd as the name suggests).But their panel is a bit limited. If you want a custom OS that isn't provided, you have to open a ticket with them to get an ISO mounted. You can also boot into recovery environment, but that is outdated minimal installation of Debian 9 without working APT. I was still able to use it to install Arch Linux from bootstrap image though. I just had to decompress it on my PC, create a temporary partition for it and scp it over.

    And I am again mentioning Arch. It comes naturally.

  • I'm gonna chemically castrate myself, should I tell my parents? (I am 26)

    Jump

  • Whether yes or no I can't answer, which is what people seem to be discussing. Also "hormone blockers" probably doesn't sound that scary (at least it seems that's what they do anyway).

    Anyway, this is just sex part. Do you feel like telling your parents "I will not be having sex"? Someone you should consult it with is a medical professional, but parents just if you feel like it makes sense. I don't know how open you are with them.

  • Nah, I tried Windows 11. That was more complex.CLI magic to create local account on installation (apparently doesn't work anymore)gpedit who knows what to disable automatic updatesdisable BITS because it was hogging CPUdisable sysmain because it was hogging SSD and CPU

    And then there were still random problems like advertisements that looked like programs which would actually download something upon clicking them (I remember seeing TikTok in the start menu). CPU would idle pretty low... until I connected it to network.

  • Still sounds pretty complicated to me as a European. Schengen Area is pretty cool. No border checks, no stops, cross wherever, you don't even need a passport. Just the same ID I am required to carry with me anyway.

  • I was just checking around for GTA, and there comes my "future proof".

    I thought I could get a used copy on DVD. First I checked GTA SA, apparently not usable because modern Windows dropped support for SecuROM which is required, and it probably wouldn't magically work under Wine either.And I've found cheap boxed GTA V, except that apparently the activation code is single use, linked to account and non-transferable, so those discs are not very useful.

    With consoles, you can buy a used disc and use it. And it also won't randomly stop working because the software became "old".

    For PC, I think this is the case where piracy simplifies things.

  • Oof, hard one. My favorites are basically the GTA series. I like open world games where you can more or less do whatever. As such, GTA online also sounds nice.

    But it's not really specific. Some games are good, some not. I also like Contra, Battletank, Donkey Kong, Galaga, F1 race, Lunar pool from NES games. They just work, and they can be learned as they aren't random. Well, Lunar pool feels a bit random-ish because it depends on aim and shooting strength.

    But I'd also like to try going through The Last of Us for example. And Minecraft is kind of mandatory. I also like playing CODM on my phone as it's free, and has online multiplayer. For some reason, these games can often be free on Android. But I usually go playing it a lot for like 2 months in a year, and then almost never.

  • If you are willing to risk a little work, I found Linux Mint as an OS really easy to install and use, and then it will be future-proof (unlike windows) as well as free.

    I use Arch, OS is taken care of. Awesome documentation, and I don't have to care about version upgrades because there's no such thing. I still don't know how to properly update Debian. Though Mint has GUI for that, so it's fine there.The bootstrap image is also pretty cool. I wanted Arch on a VPS, but I couldn't boot any installer. I could however use provided Debian rescue environment to download the bootstrap image, chroot into it and use that as an installer. Really cool thing.

    Considering that Steam comes pre-installed on Manjaro, that should be fine. Or at least it did when I tried it.

  • I've seen the anti-cheat warning on GTA V page on steam, plus it needs additional account on Rockstar Games. I like GTAs the most. But also, I apparently can't even buy the original GTA SA anymore. Seems like a mistake considering its popularity.

  • Yeah, profile updates take quite a while. I once got a reply from the dev on it, I think they said it's updated every 24 hours or something like that. Just some unexpectedly long time.

  • Also a little fun thing about Navidrome, when checking the community packages entry: https://www.navidrome.org/docs/installation/packages/There's a package for Termux, which is a terminal emulator for Android. Navidrome is in its official repo.

    So it's pretty simple to run Navidrome directly on a phone too. I've been doing that for a while now. Also, Navidrome now finally has CLI user management.

    Not relevant, you can stop reading here.When I forgot my admin password in the past and I didn't want to reset everything, I had to do a weird thing. I utilized the External Authentication (formerly called Reverse Proxy Authentication) to login into the admin account. I did so with proxy_set_header Remote-User "admin" in NGINX config (yes, still on a phone, in Termux) to get automatically logged in. But even then, I couldn't change admin password without the old password... but I could change regular users' and also create another admin account. So I did, removed the proxy auth, logged into admin2, changed admin to regular user, set the password, changed it back to admin and then from it deleted admin2.

  • How would you feel if your parents died protecting your life.

    Depends. If I was about to die a painless death, quite disappointed as that's basically the life goal.Otherwise, I don't know, my father often says he wants to die, so sounds like success.

    Really, the situation would have to occur, there's no other way to tell. I only know I'd be really sad if it happened to my dog.
