I edited it so the title would fit.

I’m pretty cloudflare centric. I didn’t start that way. I had services spread out for redundancy. It was a huge pain. Then bots got even more aggressive than usual. I asked why I kept doing this to myself and finally decided my time was worth recapturing.

Did everything become inaccessible the last outage? Yep. Weighed against the time it saves me throughout the year I call it a wash. No plans to move.

I'm of a similar mindset... yeah, it's inconvenient when "everything" goes down... but realistically so many things go down now and then, it just happens.

Could just as easily be my home's internet connection, or a service I need from/at work, etc. It's always going to be something, it's just more noticeable when it affects so many other things.

To be honest, it's MUCH easier to have one source to blame when things go down. If a small-medium vendor's website goes down on a normal day, so poor IT guy is going to be fielding calls all day.

If that same vendor goes down because Cloudflare went down, oh well. Most already know and won't bother to ask when your site will be back up

An IPv6 allocation being static or dynamic has no bearing on its routability.

Thank god they also got consent from the non google people who sent the email.

Replicate was far from a monopoly and cloudflare was arguably worse off in this space. Together they still aren’t anywhere near monopoly status for running models.

Who are the other ones? I'm aware of fal apart from Replicate

You do have to buy more powerful hardware than you otherwise would. I find it worth it to run code I can more easily understand. I agree on Debian as well. My router and laptop are OpenBSD but most vms on my proxmox are Debian.

Agreed. I run my OpenBSD firewall on my odroid h4 - it's relatively cheap and plenty powerful to route gigabit+. I prefer pf and the simplicity of OpenBSD over Debian for such a purpose-built application. For my other "home servers" I simply run Debian as I believe it to be one of the more sane Linux choices for a server-type application.

Similar trains of thought:

I can’t fix global warming by myself so I’m going to do nothing.

Politicians don’t listen to my age group so I don’t vote.

I can’t donate to every charity so I won’t donate to any.

Everyone else ignores traffic laws so why should I care?

Those aren't similar. Those are social goods that require people to do them en masse to work, and defeatist attitudes. In this case, logging off isn't a social good and I'm saying it won't do much. There are ways to maintain privacy, just not this one.

Intelligent people can disagree on the meaning of similar is seems.

Yet not every disagreement is intelligent.

In my younger years I built gaming pcs. Old me has no time for that. I console game because it respects my time and I can play any major release. I’m interested in the new offering from steam as a way to play indie games I miss on console with a machine that doesn’t look out of place next to my tv.

This, plus I also find that the fact that I'm not going to spend random time thinking about upgrading my console, looking at components, etc, also respects my time (and money).

I played nethack a lot in the 90’s when I was in college. The farthest I got was the plane of air. Despite never beating it I consider it to be one of my favorite games. I’m glad to see design goals are still in the same spirit. Perhaps I should pick it up again now that my patience has leveled up.

You did much better than me. I always starved to death, or I died of poison trying not to starve to death.

This is a well known indication of a beginner: experienced players apparently never die this way - but I have no idea what they do different or even ideas of what else to try and so I gave up. There was a massive wealth of options (even in the 1990s) and I always wanted to get back into it, but until I come up with a path forward it always feels like I'll never get far so what is the point...

My experience is 30 years old so take this with a grain of salt.

I rushed goblin mines on every character. If I hit a bunch of food in town then the run was on. Store food you can’t carry every few levels. You only need to carry enough food to reach one of your stashes.

You learn good/bad food by watching pet. If your pet wants to eat it then you are good.

I have no idea how people manage vegetarian or foodless runs.

Minor spoilers. (I've ascended but that was a long time ago so some of my NetHack knowledge might be outdated.)

You can mostly trust your pet. But you can't totally trust your pet, because there are some foods that are good for pets but not for @.

One is tripe. I don't get tripe in my pho because NetHack told me it's dog food.

Another is whatever species you are. If you're a human and eat human, or an elf and eat elf, you might get smitten for cannibalism. It's fine for your dog or cat to eat human or elf though.

And there's also the edge case of almost-spoiled food. If your pet eats one of a group of corpses on turn n, and you eat another on turn n+1, it's possible that yours rotted in the meantime. Either because n was the exact limit, or because it was close and yours died a few turns before theirs.

Plane of Air is pretty darn far! Those Air Elementals can be brutal.

Still, it's impressive you made it that far, and it's rough you made it so close without actually ascending!

I have also played for decades. I have beat it multiple times, but never on my PC. The only places I have beat it were on my (Apple) phone and on my (Android) tablet. Something about the UI difference subtly impacts my playstyle.

There's so many Dumb Ways to Die in the game.

I always played with cheats on just so I could try all the characters and see all their quests and stuff.

Amazing the Ascension speed record is like 49 minutes.

Now now, it's that the game is full of ways to have YASD, Yet Another Stupid Death.

I ascended a couple of times and don't remember ever losing on the planes. But I had read spoilers, and over-prepared on any run where I got as far as the end of the main dungeon.

I've only beat the game by playing it in the debugger. I'm not sure if anyone has really beat it honestly.

It absolutely has been done, many times by many people.
