Off topic, but almost all of your recent comments feel AI generated to me. Maybe I'm reading into things, but the structure looks AI, lots of bangs and a whole lot of em dashes. They also don't match the style of your previous comments, last in 2022.


I’m noticing some people must read enough LLM output that they start to write and even speak like an LLM. I have an acquaintance who spends a great deal of time (hours a day) talking to an LLM, and now she speaks like an LLM does. I think she uses an LLM to generate her text messages, but the real life speech shows a transformation in actual thinking and speech patterns.


Totally fair to call that out, and I get why it might come across that way. But nope, not AI-generated. Just me trying to be clearer and a bit more structured lately. Sorry if it fell off.


That thing where your every first sentence starts with a short statement followed by an em-dash and then continues? Stop that. That's what's really annoying people. Em-dashes as such are fine — really, you can use them if you want — but that gimmick isn't helping you.


Sorry it bothers you and others.


FWIW it doesn't bother me at all.


Glad it did not bother everyone at least!


Thanks for explaining to the bystander why some of those comments are downvoted and even dead. Didn’t pick up on it.


> The security through obscurity (non-standard port, no root) are both kinda silly but why not

I think these are decent controls when layered with others. The effectiveness differs depending on your threat models, of course, but at the very least it helps reduce the noise seen from most automated scans reducing the effort involved in monitoring your assets.


Control. You have to have a good inventory to apply and audit controls.


Both can be an issue if you find you can't do without the drinks.


It’s an issue regardless because alcohol gives you cancer. It doesn’t matter if you stick bellow the amount that causes acute health issues. If you are having 2 drinks every night your cancer risk is higher than someone who has a lot more but only on occasion because their total drinks consumed is less.


It's his body. He can get cancer however he pleases.


One day the things that I do with my body and mind will not be subject to capital’s desire to milk as much money as possible out of me through sheer longevity.

Seriously, the moralizing of life expectancy makes no sense. Let us each optimize for our own idea of a good life.


I have heard of using drinking socially as a justification for drinking excessively. I've never heard someone justify excessive swimming. One is a more common problem.


Both are pointless truisms.


I also read it as carrying a flag (applied by others) to highlight that it needs to be reviewed or hidden.


Makes me think of this short story.

This is true. A backup that can't be restored is worthless.


I don't think the article is saying that the prosecutor is 25 years old. It's saying that he has 25 years of experience as a prosecutor.


Haha thank god. I really confused myself reading that. I am truly an idiot today.
