BG3 player, is this relatable?
  • It is really frustrating because the spoiler tags are kind of client dependent I think. I just use the spoiler tag formatting button in Sync, but I know there is some fuckery where it doesn't work everywhere, or another client uses a different tag.

  • Props to Alpine and Kali for disabling this bullshit out of the box
  • I had to change mine to mac address naming on my proxmox server after the second time the name changed due to a GPU or SSD being added. It was kind of like, so what, if an SSD dies suddenly or I have some issue with a device you are going to rename my fucking nic card again while I am trying to troubleshoot? Absolutely deranged.

  • BG3 player, is this relatable?
  • I did my first playthrough as Karlach and romanced Gale for shiggles. After he abandoned her at the end. >!You know. Her last night alive before burning to death.!< Yeah. You can bet I left his ass in the portal the next time.

  • Elden Ring is "the limit" for From Software project scale, says Miyazaki - multiple, "smaller" games may be the "next stage"
  • I attempted a maiden less run, and it made the game world a lot more enjoyable. Even on a normal playthrough I forget about Torrent half the time. I like running around exploring. I suck at fighting on a mount anyways. I rarely remembered to ride a horse in Breath of the Wild too.

  • Finally solved the battery drain issue in Firefox Android!!
  • I will have to give it a shot, though I am still pessimistic. I was kind of turned off by the whole Pocket or whatever advertisement thing it wanted to enable. Vivaldi has been fine for me so far.

  • Ironing
  • I at least got one of those little cheap half size ironing boards that I can hide by the dryer. I iron special occasion clothes and that one silk shirt I love to straighten the button strip whatever if it is egregious... Otherwise it sits unused 99.5% of the year.

  • Automation
  • I know right? I have seen seen vision systems do some impressive things, but they are carefully calibrated to work in a specific way under certain conditions. Some of the ones my company works with get fed CAD in real time so the robot knows what to look for.

  • PSA: always update your smartphone | Ratel RAT targets outdated Android phones in ransomware attacks
  • My guess? Probably a mix of Google Evil (true), and not understanding you are talking about Pixels.

    I switched to Pixels after the whole Note 7 debacle. I even have the Note 7 t-shirt Best Buy gave out for those of us with pre-orders. It was really really shitty timing as I was traveling a lot for work and I am trying to remember if I even had a backup phone to use. I may have already traded my old phone in at the time, but had something in a drawer I could use.

    Evil Corp be damned, my phone just works. It doesn't lag. The pictures are awesome. Screen is nice. I just need all of this AI assistant shit to go away. I got it to STFU about it at least and my phone can go back to being a phone. Gemini can rot.

  • I miss text-based tutorials
  • I may take a look, but I am doing everything in C#. I have a really hard time paying attention to videos, especially if it is a bunch of content/features/examples where only a small part pertains to what I am doing. I would also have to start and stop constantly to try and take notes and hope the auto caption works. ADHD woes. Hopefully they supply all of the source code and project files.

  • I miss text-based tutorials
  • Oh. That is where all the useful information is. I have been struggling with it for weeks and finally managed to get something working. Is it done the right way? Who knows! Their documentation is sometimes rather less than helpful. If their website decides to behave. Sometimes it goes a little wonky, though it has been better the last couple weeks.

  • Man who calls women "females" hopes to one day be allowed within 500 meters of one
  • TL;DR, most people are reasonable and can tell the difference. We cool.

    People where English is not their first language get a pass. There is usually a very telling inflection when someone says "females" and means it in the bad way. I would rather help people with their English and explain that it is best to not say it that way, than get upset over our language being unnecessarily complicated.

    The context of how female is said is even more confusing. Best way I think is if you are referring to a group of people or a specific person as female(s), that is bad. If you are referring to something about our gender, a description, or something impersonal, then that is fine. "Female anatomy.", "I hate being female.", "There was a female guard at the station."

    While it is puts me on edge when I hear it (in that bad context), it isn't like they called me a cunt or something really foul. It is usually just an immediate red flag that we may be dealing with an incel, but let's see where this goes. Usually doesn't take long to get a confirmation on how they really meant it.

  • NIC goes dark when Proxmox kernel loads after GPU install (works again if GPU removed)
  • Sorry, didn't make it home until today and not sure if you get notifications on edits. You will need a monitor and keyboard hooked up to your server as you will not have ssh access until the network config is "fixed". I would do the below with the GPU removed, so you know 100% that your networking config is correct before mucking about further.

    Step 1 - Create 99-default.link file

    Add a /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link with the below contents.

    # SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0
     #
     # This config file is installed as part of systemd.
     # It may be freely copied and edited (following the MIT No Attribution license).
     #
     # To make local modifications, one of the following methods may be used:
     # 1. add a drop-in file that extends this file by creating the
     #    /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link.d/ directory and creating a
     #    new .conf file there.
     # 2. copy this file into /etc/systemd/network or one of the other paths checked
     #    by systemd-udevd and edit it there.
     # This file should not be edited in place, because it'll be overwritten on upgrades.
    
     [Match]
     OriginalName=*
    
     [Link]
     NamePolicy=mac
     MACAddressPolicy=persistent
    

    Step 2 - Reboot and find new name of NIC that will be based on MAC

    I forget if you have to reboot, but I am going to assume so. At this point, you can get the new name of your nic card and fix your network config.

    1. ip link should list all of your nic devices, both real and virtual. Here is how mine looks like for reference, with the MAC obfuscated:
    1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
        link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    2: enxAABBCCDDEEFF: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
        link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    3: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
        link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    

    Step 3 - Fix your network config and restart network manager

    You will need to edit your /etc/network/interfaces file so the correct card is used.

    1. Make a copy of /etc/network/interfaces, just in case you mess something up.
    2. sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces (or whatever text editor makes you happy) It will need to look something like below. I have to have DHCP turned on for mine, so your config likely uses static. Really all you need to do is change wherever it says enp yada yada to the enxAABBCCDDEEFF you identified above.
     source /etc/network/interfaces.d/*
    
     auto lo
     iface lo inet loopback
    
     iface enxAABBCCDDEEFF inet manual
    
     auto vmbr0
     iface vmbr0 inet dhcp
     #iface vmbr0 inet static
     #address 192.168.5.100/20
     #gateway 192.168.0.1
         bridge-ports enxAABBCCDDEEFF
         bridge-stp off
         bridge-fd 0
    
    1. Restart your networking service. You shouldn't need to reboot. sudo systemctl restart networking.service

    Step 4 - Profit?

    Hopefully at this point you have nework access again. Check the below, do some ping tests, and if it doesn't work, double check that you edited the interfaces file correctly.

    1. sudo systemctl status networking.service will show you if anything went wrong and hopefully show that everything is working correctly
    2. ip -br addr show should show that the interface is up now.
    lo               UNKNOWN        127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128
    enxAABBCCDDEEFF  UP
    vmbr0            UP             192.168.5.100/20 
    

    At this point, if all is well, I would reboot anyways, just to make sure. If you add any GPUs, sata drives, other PCI device, disable/enable wifi/bt in the BIOS, or anything else that changes the PCI numbering, you don't have to worry about your NIC changing.

  • Trump floats eliminating U.S. income tax and replacing it with tariffs on imports
  • Fuckwit is my go to. Or "Too stupid to breathe." Or bring out some Linus Torvalds, but honestly Trump doesn't deserve to be graced by that mans insults, as awesome as they are from a "JFC dude, that is going way too far", except Trump would actually deserve them unlike the poor kernel maintainers.

    Buffalo Massive LAN June 28-30

    This might be too close to "advertising", so remove if you like. I get 0 money or anything. Just wanted to reach out to those who may not know this exists.

    If you happen to live in the Buffalo, NY area, the next Massive LAN event is coming up real soon and there are still plenty of seats available. Massive LAN is held in Winter and Summer, so you can always join another time. Basically, you get your own table, power strip, and an Ethernet drop. Just bring yourself, computer, chair, and whatever sleeping gear you may need. Family friendly (enough) to bring any kiddos who like to game as well.

    There is plenty of room to walk around and hang about in, so don't worry too much about being overwhelmed by a crowded space. If you do end up getting tickets and want to be grouped with other specific people, just put the same guild name as them on the form.
