You cannot specify ports in a DNS A or AAAA record. www.example.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:443 and app.domain.com cannot resolve to 1.2.3.4:5555

If the application (be it a game or whatnot) supports it, SRV records can identify a port for a hostname. So, you could have minecraft1.domain.com and an SRV record to specify port 25565, and minecraft2.domain.com SRV 25566.

This means you can have multiple Minecraft servers with the same IP address, but you won’t need to give people the port numbers to remember; the hostname allows the game to look up the port via the SRV record.

This is great for selfhosters because we generally only get one IP (until they rollout IPv6; probably half the reason they don’t)

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I own several Analogue products. They’re solid AF.

FPGAs would be considered “hardware emulation” but a lot of people don’t like that term, and think emulation should be a term limited to software.

Like, there aren’t real N64 chips in there. The hardware IS emulating an N64 - it’s just not doing so in a way that’s comparable with software emulation at all.

I notice there aren’t a lot of Dashlane fans. (I use Bitwarden myself.)

Is there something wrong with them?

It’s not illegal for Nintendo to run retroarch.

You think they wrote their own emulator instead of just taking one of the free ones on the internet (who they will likely sue later). That’s cute.

This? This the car of a Slackware enjoyer.

Can’t keep archives of Saturday morning cartoons we all grew up with and loved; will sue you for keeping copies of them.

Definitely ok to being three mile island back online for AI though, that’s the ticket to a better humanity!

For real why has everyone with any kind of money gone psycho? Have the bad guys started winning even harder?

The same applies to recorded content.

Wait until they go after livestreams

Minimal install for maximum frames

I think the meme is more about perspectives and listening to the way someone thinks about operating IT is very different from the way someone things about architecting IT

I googled “suited” but I can’t find any daemons called “suite”.

A lot of distros include a .bashrc with common ls aliases commented out, just waiting for you to activate them if you like.

Knowing the odds doesn’t stop children from developing a gambling habit.

We were on the way to banning gambling a couple decades ago, it was illegal online and it was hard for new casinos to open up. Sports betting was illegal.

Now we’ve got FanDuel and gacha and loot boxes and crypto casinos and shitcoin shoveling influencers all this awful shit. And if you look around, the biggest shitbag bullies are the ones who are promoting it, because they know they’ll get their bag and their fans will never turn on them.

You know, because they might win next time.

These people are child predators, just not (always) the sexual kind. Fucking ban it all.

Once again, for the executives with CTEs in the back:

Piracy is a service problem. These people are fans and they can’t afford your product, or it’s simply not available in your area. Make up the loss on price reduction and availability through sales volume. Cut out toxic partners who try to MBA you into gouging. You’ll still be rich and your brand won’t be damaged from all the gouging & prosecuting you’ll be doing otherwise. What are you, fuckin Nintendo?
