  • Except the majority of it isn’t traditional 2D animation. Much like the Rescue Rangers movie, the main characters are actually 3D models made to look animated. It also included hand-drawn animation, but for more minor characters and establishing shots and the like. From what I’ve read about this, it’s the same. 2D animation is costly and slow while 3D animation is cheap and fast so they used 3D for the main characters who take up the bulk of the film and 2D characters for more minor appearances. For example, Porky Pig appears to be genuinely hand drawn, while on the other hand there are moments where it’s easy to clock Wile E. Coyote as a 3D model such as when he holds up the sign stating “ACME SUCKS” in the trailer.












  • No, that’s how it feels to have a pi-hole with expansive blocklists and a wireguard VPN so I can access the pi-hole ad blocking from my phone wherever I am. I never see ads, even on my phone. uBlock and other browser based adblockers are great for computers, they’re less effective for phones whereas network adblocking like Pi-holes are super effective on phones.

    Oh and also not having the gambling gene.





  • I don’t think it’s actually meant to be a sequence of commands as much as each set of commands do the same things. I think the “->” is a delimiter that unfortunately makes one think this is some sort of flowchart, which it is not. The flow of both don’t really make sense, but each command, in order, maps to the others. Unzip = Extract. Touch = Create. Mount = Assign.

    The joke really is as simple as the Linux commands all sound vaguely sexual and thus aren’t very appropriate for a workplace, whereas the Windows commands are named professionally.

    The odd use of the “->” just distracts from that, they could have used a “/” or any other delimiter and it might have been a little clearer.


  • Where do all the lovely self-hosters here turn when they want to chat networking or server hardware?

    I know this might seem like a strange answer, but… IRC channels on private torrent trackers. Many of the people on these sites actively have large and complex setups running. There often is a lot of talk about hardware for servers and networking in those IRC channels. Or at least there is on the trackers I am on.

    I know that’s not necessarily a helpful answer to anyone not already in the private torrent tracker community, since its often quite a task to get involved if you aren’t already. However, it’s one that I have had great success with, personally. To anyone who already is on a private torrent tracker, if you haven’t checked out the IRC, give it a shot and see.

    Oh and don’t forget you can self-host The Lounge for a self-hosted web-based IRC client.
