  • Um, I have to disagree with your points on Go/Rust. You make Rust sound like the easier language, when in reality it just isn’t.

    And what concurrency thing are you talking abou with Go? Goroutines/channels are pretty decent in Go.

    I probably wouldn’t tell anyone to learn Rust unless they truly desired it specifically for a certain task.

    Rust is also harder to get into because everything you want to do requires a package, but on the other hand Go is much easier because of its expansive standard library.




  • completely useless to anyone else

    If you ever get to the point of needing to ask for direction online, always assume it will help someone else, even if it is only 1 other person 10 years later.

    It’s just the right thing to do, otherwise it feels like you just want to serve yourself and deleting your post afterwards is kinda saying “only I deserve this information.”

    From my own experience, there have been many times where a post somewhere online with barely any interaction has helped me. If that post was deleted before I got a chance to see it then there’s two paths I see:

    1. I never understood a problem and had to give up, or:
    2. I found a newer post that someone made on the exact same problem where they or someone else spends another X amount of time trying to solve it.

    The more answers to dumb questions online, the better.






  • Are they talking about the LRT that someone beat from one end to the other by racing on foot? Yeah… that’s totally a great LRT!!!

    Trains are technically available in Canada, but let’s be honest, they aren’t reliable, have bad schedules, are unnecessarily complex in certain cases (I have seen that they weigh your luggage like you are boarding an airplane…) and just are not a good service in general.

    Toronto has promise from what I can tell because they are trying to build a new metro line, but it has been delayed many a time sadly (common trend) and has ballooned in cost. Just gotta hope.


  • CLICKBAIT Why does the article name itself that when it shows a tweet from valorant of them clarifying that they are NOT bricking your PCs???

    I don’t like kernel level anti cheats, but I’m happy the people who decided to run Valorant with DMA cheats now have an expensive paperweight (the cheat device, not their pc).

    They even say you can still use the cheat hardware on other games if you disable IOMMU on your motherboard, but you cant on valorant.

    Slightly confusing wording, but I believe they arent bricking any hardware, just stopping it from working for cheating on their game.










  • I’m on your side. I don’t really see the difference hosting Jellyfin or Plex to the internet.

    If you want max security and headache for jellyfin, set up a VPN like they say, otherwise keep it exposed, It’s very unlikely for your server to be targeted and It hasn’t been worth the hassle for me.

    Edit: well not directly directly, do the minimum and put it behind a reverse proxy that adds HTTPS of course, but thats recommended in the docs so yah
