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)

Yeah I’ve fallen into this trap before as well. When I shop for a desktop, I tend to go as high-end as I can afford and then sit on the same machine for 7-10 years until it becomes unusable/support begins to wain. That desktop sits under my desk and doesn’t move that whole time, it is in a very controlled environment.

You cannot shop that way for a laptop that will be moved and handled and charged and stowed and scratched and bumped and bent and twisted. Even if you take excellent care of it.

I can’t believe Microsoft is doing EEE on malware

I wish instead of complaining to people that they didn’t read the docs or whatever that linux devs would scour the internet for these criticisms (like when specifics are provided) and then develop solutions for them.

Yeah, people are shitting on your product because it’s not obvious. Make it more obvious!

(Thankfully this is starting to happen…)

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 is also the case for physical copies, and has been since software was first sold

Didn’t they also not license (aka pirate lol) the music in that ad?

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?

Minimal install for maximum frames

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

Right there with you, Bob.

RIP bash.org

Think of the TikTok grifting!

Only if you have a condition which could fall under the umbrella of mentally retarded. Otherwise you’re just trying to illustrate a depreciation of self-worth, by insinuating that those with said disabilities are somehow worth less because of it.

It’s that last part that’s shitty.

This is “It’s just a THEORY” but for programmers

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?

Live Mas as the root account

I think /mnt is where you manually mount a hard drive or other device if you’re just doing it temporarily, and /media has sub folders for stuff like cdrom drives or thumb drives?
