Hell yeah.
But I second the "get some tools" sentiment.
The purpose of a system is what it does.
New angle: force a courts hand to create a precedent for disregarding copyright to break copyright law
Reminds me of the chicken tax. Less state dept, more economic warfare on a rising japan. Sorry americans, no small pickups, only child squishers.
Politically acceptable technical ‘solutions’
Come on man this whistle woke my cremated dog up
I can't even hate on the dumb sub billionaire. You know elon will never get in one of his own rockets.
They're in there. 1 in 1000 ultra rich car guys will actually be really into the cars themselves rather than the status symbol.
Some that come to mind are the guys that will endlessly restore, race, crash, repeat vintage racecars. They'll get in turn-of-the-century deathtraps, slam into a wall, and basically go "ah i guess we're restorin' again" in a crossover episode of the ship of thesius and Sisyphus.
The only rich guys I sorta respect are the kind that will put themselves into harms way for their interests.
I had only used kde once before like 7 years ago and I wasn't a huge fan. I wanted to try it again and I honestly really like it over gnome. I usually go tiling but felt lazy with a new laptop. The trackpad gestures are really solid.
nmcli is quite nice actually. My only real issue with NM is keeping track of what it's doing behind the scenes.
So I want and have ip forwarding, and I only want to make a firewall whitelist between two of the interfaces.
I've uninstalled iptables, nftables isn't running, NM has the firewall backend disabled, and ip forwarding is on.
This should result in traffic moving between the interfaces, yet traffic is moving between two of the interfaces, and blocked between two of the interfaces. It just doesn't make sense.
Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm using NM for managing the AP and managed connections, not so much the bare connecting to wifi things.
The only real alternative to NM in this situation is a handful of delicate config files for iwconfig and dnsmasq.
I'm trying to set up a somewhat weird network configuration, three interfaces on a pi, an adhoc AP, a wireless lan, and a USB modem.
I want clients of the USB device to talk to clients of the AP, I want clients of the AP to talk to other clients and a single host on the wireless network.
Sorta simple right? Just a couple firewall rules? Well NetworkManager is a land of logical defaults that do not like to be adjusted. I had it working where the AP clients could not reach out to the internet, but could reach the USB clients. NetworkManager automagic'd a NFTables ruleset that doesn't appreciate being changed.
Okay so I'll tell NM to not use a firewall backed in the conf, firewall-backend=none
, easy.
But once NM is restarted, the networking is behaving like the firewall is still active, despite NFtables and iptables reporting no rulesets, as NM has taken its ball and gone home.
I can't even figure out a baseline of "what the fuck is going on" because the level of opaque NM automagic happening behind the scenes. I just poke at it and hope something happens. Half the NetworkManager behavior is hidden in dev blog posts that you need to sift through, the official documentation just basically gives the bare minimum info for a feature.
I started watching the most recent BoyBoy video on the whistle blower and I don't know what brought me here, I was feeling extremely doomer.
But I feel the same, I really needed some good news in this sea of hopelessness.
A lot of software wont be distributed with a PPA to add.
Additionally, debs are useful for offline installations, with apt you're able to recursively download a package and all of it's dependencies as deb files, then transfer those over to the offline machine and install in bulk.
That being said I've never had great luck with the software center, it's always felt broken. I'll typically just dpkg -I <pkg>
.
I liked the story of lost tech and the overall geoengineering effort run amok. I honestly enjoyed the game more than BotW which had weirdly similar vibes. The second one was feeling less coherent though, I haven't finished it yet. I enjoy uncovering the mysteries, which means I don't think I could replay it.
your goose post is still my all time favorite post to this site and I think about it constantly.

Gotta say, it was interesting figuring out what the slur filter took problem with.
My last playthrough was a 10-luck character, which I somehow never did before.
I started the game, collected some explosives from the prisoners, then at level 2 ran my ass dodging and weaving around cazadors and death claws, slowing picking off some marauders with my dynamite sticks from on top of a hill. I continued sprinting all the way to new vegas at lvl3, collected as much garbage as I could to buy my way into the strip. Using the 10 luck, I cleared out every single casino at the blackjack tables until they kicked me out. Did a couple missions and at lvl 5 or 6 I Jumped into dead money and carefully threaded myself through the combat with my lucky crits, leveling up like 6 times, and then cleared out the Sierra Madre at the blackjack tables.
I exited, now the richest man in all of New Vegas, unwanted at every venue, and coming out of a luck driven fugue state, I needed to find something. I went to the cannibals and tormented them picking them off one at a time, glitched the quest, and left. I then executed Mr House to feel something and began wandering the wastes.
The greatest thrill of all was throwing myself far underleveled and under geared at harder and harder challenges.
Front teeth? never heard of em
I spent a summer as a shop hand, and the shop truck was a early 90s 2wd 2 seater tacoma and that thing was so low to the ground stock. It was basically like 1.5 standard steps to step into the bed. So easy to load and unload.
I love a good 8ft bed but I genuinely think we need to legislate out crew cabs. They basically never actually hold a crew, they basically serve as a trunk to protect the bed from scuffs.
Bring back trucks as an appliance. No you cannot lean the seat back, you're at work. Zero noise cancellation, hard plastics, crank windows.
You claim to be a big tough blue collar man, yet you need "luxuries"? Curious...
Yesterday I saw the typical gypsy/Romanian female looking pan handler on route 29, nothing new. Yesterday, there was a little girl out there...
I'm afraid quoting it will hit slur filters but the open sentence is just so !brainworms

I've got a degree in engineering. I love engineering, programming, electronics, CAD and physical prototype design. I love identifying problems and figuring out requirements and designing something to solve it. I know I'm really good at it, but I can only really perform what feels like 20% of the time.
I'll get into some hyper focus for some problem, learn some complex technology, solve the problem, then not be able to look at tech for weeks. This is cool for hobby stuff but man I gotta work too.
I find it nearly impossible to work on things which I don't find personally interesting which isn't good because most "work" isn't interesting whatsoever. I envy people who are able to just go "ah time to do this boring thing" and they just fucking do it. It genuinely feels impossible to just start.
I'm medicated for ADHD but it feels like it only works like 20-30% of the time. The rest of the time my eyes just lose focus and I stare blankly at a screen waiting for hours to pass.
I don't know how to make this work for me either. I know theoretically I could be a prototype engineer, the type of freelance generalist who gets an idea out and disappears but I don't know how to network sufficiently enough to do that. I've got a good job right now, but COL is so high and full remote isn't possible so I'll always be living in a small apartment or be in so much debt I'll never be able to retire.
I want to do more hardware stuff but that's so rarely a remote type job and offices just hurt my soul with how uncomfortable I am all day long. I could probably make a living as a software engineer but I don't know if I'd be able to keep up any kind of pace long term that would let me keep my job.
I almost want to take a stab at doing youtube videos and see if I can make a handful of neat projects that get me a sponsor. enough to score a house in a rundown rustbelt town and be able to fuck off and work at my own pace without the impending doom of rent or mortgage staring me down.
I drink plenty of water, jog when its warm, use a pomodoro timer when I remember. I learned the fundamentals of Rust in a weekend, designed and manufactured a run of PCBs in under 3 months. I just can't keep that momentum going, even if I try to slow down.
thanks for letting me rant. Its not lost on me how privileged I am in this scenario. I'm quite lucky and comfortable but it terrifies me how even someone doing well like myself can't see an exit off this awful ride.
It's so easy shitting on techbro VC nonsense that only separates us from our humanity to sell adspace. What actual problems do you want technology to solve?
I have just come to fully realise how utterly and incredibly fucked i am. I dont know what to do, and i feel so, so hopeless. I love engineering,...
Engineering majors need like 4 years of pure humanities classes to fix what's wrong in their mind. This whole thread is so cruel to op.
long story short, he has a history of it. They've historically resolved after some medical care and medicine adjustment. Its really hard to tell what's happening this time. I think a medication change and some trauma triggered it but it's gotten to the point where he's continuously flinging slurs, hateful comments, and doing some (probably) illegal and heinous shit.
I'm really not sure what to do. I don't want to call the cops but idt it matters because he's gotten several welfare checks already. He's saying everyone is bullying him when in reality, he's the one doing the bullying.
He was already hospitalized, to basically no effect. I know there's not much I can do but it really sucks watching this guy be a wrecking ball through his life, family, and friends.
I really don't want him to get hurt, but I don't want him to hurt others even more. Some advice would be helpful.
