This group's activism is so tone-deaf that I'm starting to think this is actually the oil companies pretending to be terrible activists.

30 years in prison for a bong with water in it. Vs what for Trump? ( news.yahoo.com )

Let's see, avoiding taxes for more than a decade, paid a porn star to keep her quiet during an election to win the presidency, tried to off Mike, Organized an insurrection....hmmm time served sir. Good thing they only found classified documents all over his public house and not a bong.... because a bong, that's 30 to life!...

pHr34kY ,

What's the lesson here? Clean your bongs?

Imagine facing 30 years for not emptying out an old coffee cup.

I host my own mail. When it's down, the mail just gets delivered after I get online again. Almost all mail servers are configured to retry over a period of several days before giving up.

Once my health insurer sent me mail by post to tell me that my mail server was down. That was kinda funny.

The longest outage I've had in a decade is when my primary SSD died a 2 months ago and I had to reinstall using config backups. It was down for around a day.

I've thrown a UPS on it and flown overseas for a week or two. It's basically just email for me and the kids.

I've had longer outages on hosted services, TBH.

TightVNC. Use TightVNC.

My company has build scripts that practically pull half an OS from an update mirror every time someone commits a code change.

It's maddening how inefficient CI/CD setups are.

The FDA waltzed in and shut everything down without due cause.

My kitchen has a solid ban on any product with the word "maker" in the name. They're all junk that take up space and do a worse job than conventional methods.

An air fryer though. That was money well spent.

Seven out of 10 Europeans believe their country takes in too many immigrants ( english.elpais.com )

Europeans view immigration with increasing suspicion. Seven out of 10 Europeans believe that their country takes in too many migrants, according to a survey carried out by BVA Xsight for ARTE Europe Weekly, a project led by the French-German TV channel ARTE GEIE and which EL PAÍS has participated in, as part of the countdown to...

...So, 30% of EU are immigrants?

I did have LUKS and a USB flash drive with a key to be inserted on boot. It was definitely difficult and caused performance issues. It was particularly difficult to add/remove drives from the array. These days I only encrypt my off-site backups that sit at the office where my coworkers potentially have physical access.

There have been recent advancements in TPM so disk encryption is easier to maintain and doesn't affect performance. I'll need to investigate this one day. My server/NAS is a 4th-gen i5, so it may not support the functions I would need. Full disk encryption will land in Ubuntu soon. I'm hanging out for that.

pHr34kY ,

Yeah, and I have to practice mental arithmetic because I won't always have a calculator in my pocket.

It's maddening that my telco will negotiate a roaming rate on my behalf, and it's 100x worse than what a random dude in a supermarket can sell me.

pHr34kY ,

I haven't bought a new car since 2004. How fucked am I when I need a new one?

pHr34kY ,

Shipping five separate executables to avoid CLI arguments is the most Windowsy thing ever.

pHr34kY ,

Haha I gota new head gasket in 2021. It was a $2K job. Still cheaper than getting a new car.

I personally would flick through the OpenWRT supported devices and pick the best supported device with 802.11ax.

That graph is trash. The baseline needs to be at zero.

Everything about this just defies logic. I could improve my driving score by not braking for anything. Flat-out through roundabouts and high-speed cornering. Yellow light? Just keep rolling. The most dangerous driving I've ever seen has been from slow, inattentive drivers. This just rewards them.

I'm now having second thoughts about even using a phone for GPS navigation. Perhaps I should use a dedicated phone that's not logged in, or on a dedicated unlinked account.

I'm probably never buying a car with a transmitter.

pHr34kY ,

I do have that as an offline backup. I've never used it for driving though.

20 years ago, a friend said "Windows does whatever you don't tell it not to do". It is as true now as it was then.

90% of configuring Windows is disabling shit.

My 6a on GrapheneOS stopped working months ago and I've spent hours trying to figure out what I had changed in an attempt to fix it.

Google broke it at their end? For no reason but spite? What cunts.

pHr34kY ,

Everything exposed except NFS, CUPS and Samba. They absolutely cannot be exposed.

Like, even my DNS server is public because I use DoT for AdBlock on my phone.

Nextcloud, IMAP, SMTP, Plex, SSH, NTP, WordPress, ZoneMinder are all public facing (and mostly passworded).

A fun note: All of it is dual-stacked except SSH. Fail2Ban comparatively picks up almost zero activity on IPv6.

pHr34kY ,

Australia has a DNS based solution and it's fantastic.

And I say it's fantastic because I'm a pirate.

pHr34kY ,

Testdisk and photorec? It's saved me heaps of times.

pHr34kY ,

I'm digging it. It reminds of reddit when it was good, which was like digg when it was good, which was like /b/ when... wait, /b/ was never good.

I can handle the Linux fanboys because it's been my daily driver OS since 2003.

I do miss the driversity of topics. Yeah, I'm mostly about my computers and cars, but I like maintaining a surface knowledge of pretty much everything.

pHr34kY ,

I'd argue that you could ban anything that you don't have to manually pack gunpowder into.

That's what was available when the constitution was penned.

You don't even need to ban the guns. Just ban bullets.

Ironically, it's the innocent-looking white boxes that are hellspawn devices of pure evil that will wiretap your house, force you into a subscription service and have a 2-year planned obsolescence timebomb in it.

Meanwhile anything that resembles an arachnid will let you do whatever you want, support every imaginable open standard, and work with community firmware that will still be supported a decade later.

It's 11 lines of trash code too.

The way the function reallocates memory would bring your computer to a crawl on a large string.

Imagine buying a piece of hardware and actually owning it.

pHr34kY ,

I'm an app developer. My company makes an iOS version, and it's damn near impossible to deal with Apple's shit.

pHr34kY ,

Go to hardware store

Buy LED replacement bulb

You can get one in "cool white"

Checkmate retards.

You could tell they'd sold out to Audible when "Grapes of Wrath" came out.

Having level-headed social opinions is not a requirement for being a good software dev. We need to stop judging these people for having opinions that have absolutely nothing to do with their purpose.

These people are better than you.

Get fucked.

Sincerely,

Notch, Richard Stallman, Linus Torvalds, John Carmack, Hans Reiser and every other programmer who puts their code in front of your feelings.

I feel called-out.

30s software engineer / linux user here.

We are exactly who you want as the "primer" user group. We will collectively make sure the whole thing works before the load really rams up.

Host all the things!

Wordpress, SMTP/IMAP, tor, bittorrent, Nextcloud, Plex, NTP, photo galleries, DoT...

I even started hosting the website for my local Italian restaurant and they haven't even realised it yet.

pHr34kY ,

OK, here's how it happened.

I was hungry, and I wanted to see the menu for my local pizza joint. I couldn't find it anywhere.

I discovered that all their socials linked to a website that wouldn't load. When I checked, the domain had lapsed.

Out of frustration, I purchased the domain and pulled the last snapshot of their website off archive.org. It had their full menu as a PDF.

6 months later and it's still getting visitors from their facebook page, who are viewing the menu. They haven't even realised.
