  • Why isn't anyone farting in school?

    Jump

  • I still see plenty of people I went to school with, and I'm 45 and live across the country. Maybe you don't see anyone from school because they all remember you as the kid who stinks?

    What are some good Subs on Lemmy that we should know about?

  • It's cringey and awful

  • The term for subs on Lemmy is burrows, since that's where lemmings live.

    Absolutely not.

  • When an online game goes offline for maintenance, what are they doing?

    Jump

  • Yeah I feel you're widely overestimating the setup that's in place for smaller online games companies. We're not talking about Activision or some high-frequency fixed income trading firm here. "Give me something that people can play on that costs as close to nothing as possible" is usually the main driver

  • Can you drive a manual transmission?

    Jump

  • Mid 40s in the UK. Driven manual all my life up until a few months ago when I had a stroke leaving me with reduced use of my left leg and arm. Swapped to an auto and wow it just makes the driving experience so much simpler

  • I don't disagree, but at the same time running a whole setup that is fully ready for hot swap live failover whenever you have maintenance tasks to do is potentially just not desirable when you have the option of just taking the environment down instead - after all, gamers are pretty much conditioned to expect it at this point

  • The other big one that usually requires downtime is network. You may not be touching your game servers all that often but if you need to do a major OS upgrade on a load balancer or switch, that's going to mean everything behind it loses connectivity - and unless you're talking one of the big hitters like WoW, they're probably not funding redundant dual network paths to allow you to take it down without downtime

  • Mashed? Mashed?! You monster.

  • Workation - nice or stupid?

    Jump

  • You say you can easily work remotely, but that is not the same thing as working from another country. Tax implications, cross border data transfer, work residency rules - absolutely speak to your HR before assuming that if you're remote it doesn't matter where you are

  • Android users who don't use the stock launcher - what launcher do you use, and what do you like about it?

    Jump

  • Yup, another Nova user on Pixel 6 here

  • If wetness is the property of having water on something, what is the property of something in water?

    Jump

  • I like immersed, I would also accept submerged

    What does the Hot sorting actually mean?

  • So my ISP's router doesn't support changing the DNS server

    Jump

  • Changing your DNS doesn't stop your ISP seeing what sites you visit unless you use a VPN. DNS just resolves an address to an IP. Your requests (with destination IP attached) will still pass through their network gear and be able to be logged should they wish to.
