  • If you called someone "skinface" it would feel like a huge insult even though it's meaningless and people's faces are made out of skin.

  • Am I the only one who didn’t think that story was very funny? Sure haha poop and all but it’s achieved legendary status that I don’t get.

  • What's a piece of Media that is so underrated you must mention it?

    Jump

  • I had a dog named Shadow and would frequently quote this at him. Never seen the movie but had tapes of the radio show.

  • I saw this when it aired on (Toonami?) and instantly saw the Batman connection but didn’t realize the reason. I was just hay this looks like the Batman cartoon.

  • A handheld 2 way radio. The cell network is the first to go even before a disaster since the lines saturate with people calling out.

  • What's a joke or reference in a piece of media that you saw but didn't understand until years or even decades later?

  • Set in NYC, chemicals causing mutations/superpowers. What else am I missing?

    Never read the comic (TMNT or Daredevil) but like any kid in the late 80s and early 90s I watched the TMNT cartoon.

  • It’s Z for zombie. Works whether you say zee or zed, or is ther something else I’m missing? Never read the book or seen the movie.

    What justifies requiring spiral-bound project reports when the actual work is a live website or repository?

  • Backups for when you don’t have access.

  • How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?

    Jump

  • I don't have an answer, but I've been wondering the same thing. It's easy to say parents should be more mindful of what their kids are doing, and in an ideal world I'd agree, but when you're a big company or a government who has to deal with potentially hundreds of millions of people, Murphy's law demands you plan for the absolute worst case.

  • Storyden: A forum for the modern age.

    Jump

  • Never heard of vBulletin. I'm on a couple old phpBB conlanging forums that are still hanging around. My main gripe is the use of antiquated BB Code for formatting and a lack of a user mention feature.

    As for modern forums, I like nodeBB.

  • A newbie's guide to self-hosting with YunoHost. Part 4: backups

    Jump

  • I think you could take this arbitrarily far. Why buy a motherboard when building a computer when you should design the PCB yourself? Why go with a pre-existing processor? You should design the architecture from scratch. Why aren't you mining your own silicon and growing your own ingots? You're not a real nerd unless you have your own chip fab.

    Some people get into self hosting because they want their data to be their data. They don't care about the particulars, they just want that peace of mind. Others get into it because they're already in a tech or tech-adjacent field and want to improve their skills. Some, such as myself, fall somewhere in the middle. I work in IT and am sometimes in the mood to tinker, but sometimes I just want it to work without much fuss.
