Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's a scene from a video game you'll never forget? Post a screenshot.byunitedwithme@lemmy.today
21 hoursOK, I can’t just post a screenshot.
Crysis 2. I knew nothing of OG Crysis until I saw an ad in Xbox 360 for 2, and I watched the cinematic trailer and immediately bought it for both 360 and PC.

The detail and graphics, the music (Hans Zimmer score), the voice acting, the cut scenes. Fell in love, played the fucking hell out of this game! Went back, played 1, Wars, and eventually 3. I, for a very brief time, was top of the Crysis 3 leaderboards.

1 dayDNS is like a post office or delivery company. They all have databases of who lives where so they can match a home address to a name.
DNS isn’t required per se, you can “deliver” traffic directly or through another delivery service… If “https://website.com/” has a domain address of 111.222.33.44, you could also just type that into your browser URL bar like https://111.222.33.44/ and DNS isn’t (or at least shouldn’t be) touched.

1 dayIdk, but anything Meta is toxic AF and I don’t feel like having its services spy on me or monetize my personal data without my consent. If anyone should profit off my data, it’s ME!

1 dayQuad9 DNS is a not-for-profit run by Quad9 Foundation based out of Switzerland.
They offer recursive resolvers, DNSSEC, DoH, DoT, QUIC protocol, they have the standard IPv4 and IPv6 plus have malware blocking/filtering and ECS or choose everything unfiltered.
Benefits are no-log policies, private, no data sold or shared per the transparency report
I’ve been promoting and advocating for them for probably close to a decade when I found them as a tech support guy. Personally, I’ve got my workplace setup this way, any friends and family, other businesses I consult for, and my VPN custom-configured to utilize these services.

2 daysOh no, not DNS, however will I get to my desired sites?? DNS isn’t the only way. It’s just the most obvious or easiest, but we’ll let them keep thinking that 😆

2 daysSlightly unrelated, FUCK PayPal, bc I tried to change my phone number a few months back and they said they can’t use VoIP numbers bc of spam. I logged on recently to close my account and what do I see?? You can update you’re phone number OR use a WhatsApp account number??? Fuck that bullshit! Why do they get special treatment? I almost thought about making a special account, but I hate Meta more than PP, so no dice. I’ll just close my account.

4 daysI’m willing to work 4x 7 hour days. If you think about the last 30 years of computer enhancing productivity, we’re owed a lot!



That’s the energizer list, bc it keeps going and going and going
