  • Considering the extreme risk involved despite the low odds, I would not.
    It is tempting and the odds of hitting that 1% on the first press are low, so the chance of a payoff is very good, but on the other hand, you won’t get any money if you hit that 1% first try, so even leaving money for loved ones is out of the question there.



  • Silicon isn’t a conductor, it’s a semiconductor. Also conductivity is dependent on temperature, hot stuff usually conducts easier, though some things conduct easier when they are colder. Even at the low voltage it’s more complicated than “Conductors” and “Insulators” we learn in those ultra basic electronics guides online (or in school if you’re lucky).



  • The issue is the server doesn’t use plugins since they had lots of issues after each update while using plugins and the maintainers decided it wasn’t worth it to maintain that. So as is it only has a script to minitor chat for commandts like :home :spawn :warp etc. and is otherwise completely vanilla.

    There are some downsides like that villagers don’t breed but they also do give out spawn eggs and occasionally spawners, so it’s still reasonably easy to renew villagers. Big downside is that farmers can’t replant crops, so all crop farms are manual.


  • The server I play on has Mobgriefing disabled and has had it disabled for many years since people would use creepers to blow holes in people’s walls and floors on purpose. Also ghasts were blowing up parts of the nether hub and gold farm (made of glass).

    They also disabled fire spreading because people were destroying stuff with it both intentionally and unintentionally.


  • I don’t own any flags myself, I only own pins. If I did own flags though I would iron them so they look nice.

    I don’t really plan on getting them though unless I can find at least an AroAce flag in the purple and green color scheme. Which I haven’t up until now, technically I couldn’t find a pin either but pins are easy to get custom made, flags not so much (at least I never looked into it).





  • This is such a stupid argument considering you don’t need a fucking giant ass data center to host a tiny little git server. I’ve seen this argument time and time again, but the real reason people go with VPSes is convenience and laziness.

    I would absolutely agree with the other person that renting your own VPS is not self-hosting, not by a long shot. You could argue that you need a massive host for a large video or music platform, or even a large git platform with thousands of repos, but not for a tiny single user, single project forgejo or gitlab instance or a single static web page.


  • Yes, but often those countries come with their own huge bag of problems.

    Not saying they don’t, everything has pros and cons and you need to decide what’s really important to you and whether or not it’s worth overcoming the challenges associated, many decide it isn’t, and that’s okay, but some decide it is and choose to pursue it.

    I’m saying we don’t give the copyright and corporate trolls what they want and act or talk like the enemy states out of their reach don’t exist or that someone couldn’t or wouldn’t go there to do the dirty work, or imply that these places are going away sometime in the near future.

    All not that easy and it can get highly criminal very fast.

    Of course it is, anyone should know that working in and for an enemy country is criminal. If someone didn’t understand that they need to pick a side in the world they deserve what they get. Most people who are dedicated enough to go that far understand the risks well enough, and are willing to take them.
