Sometimes people wear things for themselves.

Iirc, when experimented on, these ‘escape pods’ would enter a spin so violent it would turn the whole thing into a lethal centrifuge.

Human: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😙👌 masterpiece

Computer: rearranges words and phrases they have learned over the course of their existence 😡 plagiarism

Exactly! Back in my day, people used to fill up my gas for me and carry my things up to my hotel room. Young people are getting lazy and entitled! Corporations need to make them work harder. Makes it hard to humiliate the poors if they make ME do the work.

Zomboid was originally inspired by CDDA. Much of the game flow and ideas are 1 to 1 copies. The biggest difference is that CDDA is a turn based game that is played on tiles (think rogue or nethack). From the inventory system to crafting to base construction to reading books, it’s all there.

Oh. Except bites aren’t instant death. There’s no zombie virus. Dead bodies rise up (including yours!). You can still get infections and die from them, but you can also just clean your wounds. 1v1-ing a zombie is suicide though unless you have a decent weapon.

Also, zombies evolve… So they scale well into the late game. Having a zombie hulk throw you through a concrete wall and breaking every bone in your body is usually lethal.

this is a comic man, you might be reading into it more than the artist intended… I was bullied in high school by a single, lone dude lots of times.

Not at 5 years old! Absolutely not.

If you’re enjoying Project Zomboid, you might want to check out Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead (CDDA). It’s a fantastic open-world survival game with a similar vibe, but it offers a lot more depth and complexity in its gameplay mechanics. Best part? CDDA is free and open-source.

Literal Eli5: “it’s a slang term that some people use, but it isn’t something you should worry about right now. It’s meant for adults”

Since I’m becoming a father soon, I started learning responses like this

So what’s out there then?

Firefighters hate this one easy trick!

Big oil strikes again!!

Got bad news for you bud… Same bank.

😏

And screw Sophocles for giving them the idea!

One in the hand is worth two in the bush.

Sell it. Invest that money in a less risky asset. You win no matter what that way.

Cheese pizza?

It’s not DNS until the firewall team cleans house and even then not until you happened to catch me between matches in the videogame I’m playing while waiting for something to break

DNS engineer here, I’m not doing work on a weekend, but I will make you guys aware of digwebinterface.com great tool for running investigations like this

I’m skeptical that you’re giving the full story

No, you’re right. There’s a much bigger story here. I was just trimming out a lot of it since I don’t normally run into people who can follow along easily. Akamai, for example, uses the proprietary AKAMAICDN record to allow the functionality of a CNAME. For example: foo.com AKAMAICDN’s to foo.com.edgekey.net (edgekey.net of course being the Akamai edge server suite). So someone using Akamai can do that to allow them to use the apex (but will still very likely have a www.foo.com CNAME foo.com setup to catch people who did a www anyway) Cloudflare uses CNAME flattening to “cheat” the CNAME rules by doing the CNAME DNS lookup internally and pretending to be authoritative for the request.

You don’t typical have your webpage itself delivered by CDN, you have your static assets delivered by CDN. Why can’t you put your static assets in a subdomain that gets a CNAME?

You can most certainly put static assets in a specific subdomain (and in fact, that’s how most setups are), but the CDN itself often requires handling the entire request at the beginning. You don’t want, for example, an A record at the apex pointing directly at your origin servers (terrible idea for security & performance; kind of defeats the purpose of the CDN), instead you want the user to connect to an edge server and have that edge server immediately serve the static content while the origin is contacted by the edge server for any non-static content that the user needs. This allows the CDN to do their cloud magic while your origin servers can do as little work as possible with as few people as possible. Effectively, you can block all requests to your servers that are not from your CDN. Many CDNs these days are also a major security feature.
