    Who’d a guessed a ginormous and expensive public infrastructure project that requires meticulous long term planning and the acquisition of literally thousands of privately owned pieces of land (often through long and expensive legal processes, sometimes spanning various different jurisdictions) takes longer than bolting a couple thousand plastic boxes onto poles, or building what’s essentially a large-ish industrial facility?

    I am a big fan of rail transport. Use it more than my car because it’s just better. But let’s be real.











  • I’ll confirm everything everyone else said. Hosting your own email server is a major pain in the ass for many unrelated reasons. The mail stack is complex. You need to do a whole bunch of things right to avoid your setup from getting flagged as spam. You need to secure it real well. Hosting it at home is likely to be almost impossible because it is very common for residential internet subscriptions to have the required ports blocked, and the ISPs will very often refuse to open them for you even if you have a nice static IP. Getting around that is not gonna be easy.

    There’s a reason why so many ardent homelabbers refuse to touch email hosting with a 10 foot pole.






  • I understand the game is not, and never was, story focused. But that doesn’t mean it needs to have the absolute worst, most insufferable dialogue ever written by man. It was so impressively bad in FH5 that turning dialogue volume down to 0 was a very common suggestion to improve the overall experience. If you’re gonna write such low quality dialogue for a game that doesn’t really need it, and then have it voiced over with the absolute worst direction possible so it sounds even worse then it is, then you might as well just leave it out. Nobody’s gonna miss it.


  • Xiaomi bootloaders used to work like that. You’d have to jump through some bullshit hoops to register your phone for bootloader unlocking, and then wait a few days to finally be able to unlock it. Then they made that worse and worse, and afaik it’s so insanely difficult and inconvenient right now that it’s practically impossible to unlock your Xiaomi phone’s bootloader. This applies to all the brands under that umbrella.

    I am about 97.37% sure Google will do the same over time and at some point you just won’t be able to install any APKs.
