Be aware that this may not be the same person as /u/poppinKREAM. That's the beauty of the fediverseā„¢

Peasant. I use slackware.

Or will, when I figure out this compiler error.

Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.

Glad to hear you're building the kernel too.

Just a little bottle?

the translation step from binary (program) -> text (SQL) -> binary (server)

Your concern about this is misguided. Inter-process communication always has to cross a barrier, by definition.

I take it http also feels wrong to you?

Binary protocols do exist, e.g. gRPC, but they incur costs of their own.

Do you think that's relevant? I don't see anything about either reddit or lemmy that makes it harder for right-wingers to join. I can tell you that America does not have a monopoly on the alt-right (AfD, Brexit, etc)

I'm keen to learn more if you've seen evidence in this topic. I wouldn't know how to investigate, tbh.

Poof! That's the sound of 20 million fundamentalists vanishing because you pointed out the existence of Brazzers

I do believe it is you, hiya! I'm being perverse as a matter of policy.

I try not to get too invested in identities anyway. I look at the user if I need the context to evaluate their frame - but usually, you know when you're reading insightful commentary.

"on the internet, no one knows I'm a dog"

The content is still on Reddit. That's why we want to grow.

His password was "daddy"

Now it's "daddy2"

Launch by hitting windows key and start typing (this is now a bullshit web search)

The taskbar was usable (fuck this app grouping)

Virtual desktops

Fast

Stable

Looked fine

Hit F8 for recovery options on boot

System rollback

On your toddler.

Because, say, you knew the other parent was about to get full custody.

Or just because you're really into Louis Vuitton.

The feds move slowly, but they have their teeth into him now.

Beau Of The Fifth Column has been pretty much nothing but diving into how fucked Trump is, finally, for a few months.

Think of the lexiconsequences

Very happy with runbox.com. Hosted in Sweden, reasonable price, and - unlike proton - you can use your own frigging mail client

Deliberately duplicate a mac address, and worse, deliberately pick a device that's definitely going to be online in the same network segment?

At first I thought you were either trolling or profoundly ignorant.

Then I remembered that wifi is CSMA, and thought, hang on... is this actually a genius idea? Has this user come up with a hack that no-one else knows about? So I tried it.

It doesn't work. I couldn't even join.

So no, you are either trolling or ignorant.

Hers some discussion and links, for anyone interested: https://superuser.com/questions/1132935/duplicate-mac-on-a-wifi-network-problems

Pi is not the only SoC, merely the best-known.

I'd earn anyone thinking of buying a Pi for a home server: ARM is widely supported, but you might regret investing in arm32. Atom is a safer choice.

Excellent - I'm about to install it for my aged mother, because windows keeps moving her cheese.

I want something that doesn't change the workflows once she's learned how to do a task, and that local techs can help her with, and that I can VNC to when I have to.

It's OK, but I'd suggest:

Atom > arm64 > arm32

I ran on a Pi 4, but switched to a PC for jellyfin. The pi can't transcode for shit. It was slow to boot and slow over SSH.

Look for a NUC - they're designed for desktop use, so they have more poke than a Pi. The N6005 CPU is a good choice, the N5105 is ok. These are x64, so you'll have the widest range of packages. 4GB will do, if its upgradeable later. NUCs usually take SODIMMs, which you can pick up on ebay for peanuts.

Bear in mind that network chipset will be your bottleneck in some use cases. If it has a "gigabit port" but only a cheap chipset, and you use it as a router, you might max out at ADSL speeds... in that case you'll wish you'd gone for a box designed for soft routing, which are a fair bit pricier.

And if you follow, there may be a tomorrow

But if the offer's shunned, you might as well be installing solar panels on the sun

Racial origins of those terms? Citation needed.

Black and white, in the sense of good and evil, have had their connotations for a fucking long time, whereas black and white to describe skin colour are relatively recent etymologies. I'm pretty sure that Romans didn't call themselves "white" or others "black", for example.

I'm willing to be taught, but this sounds like bullshit to me.

The etymology being wrong doesn't mean that we shouldn't drop freighted terminology, I just don't want false justification. Bullshit is never a valid reason to do something.

"...because if just one of those things gets down here, then all of this... bullshit, that you think is so important, well, you can kiss all that goodbye."

I'd appreciate an outside perspective.

I have an always-on vpn container and a transmission server container on my home server. Then I use transmission as a client on my laptop and I don't need to continually connect and disconnect.

Any interest in a how-to guide? I won't get to it for at least two weeks, mind.

The dust has not settled. Wait and see. And don't bet against fascism in Spain.

That's Teams. Slack used to be a CPU hog too, but Teams is a real piece of shit. And occasionally it used to just peg one core at 100% until I killed it.

I'm so glad I quit that company.

Or, better yet, an alu plate and some soldered switches and knobs

It ain't no joke?

Looks like yellow fingers and grey complexion.

If you haven't already, you might also consider a vertical mouse. That fixed my capital tunnel, trackball didn't help for me

Substitute "member of an out-group" for the bonus point

Another Kagi fan here. I pay $10 a month.

I'm a reasonably heavy search user, but have never hit the quota.

It's wonderful to have relevant results again.

The one thing it doesn't work for is shopping. From time to time I use Google. I should probably switch that to Bing, as the lesser of two evils.

Edgy shit like this is why anti-woke is a vote winner. It's repulsive to normal people.

First? BSD just chuckles to itself

Forsooth, this cipher speaketh not in tongues

Of men and servers of this era born;

Unknown and babbling, let this wretch be shunned

And do his SSL connexion scorn.

If I were a democrat pol, I'd want to keep Gaetz, and Trump, and all the nut jobs.

They are loved by their base and horrible to work with in the houses, but they are electorally toxic.

Prediction for your next presidential election: Trump will still be on trial on federal charges, he will be the nominee anyway, and he will lose badly. DeSantis will bite chunks out of him. Bullish on popcorn.

Or Trump bites chunks out of whoever they do nominate. The party either gets moderate votes, or Trump votes, or DeSantis votes, but not all three.

I found an article about artists practicing on pigs.

Agreed, although I prefer pihole on a separate device. DNS blocking is best blocking.

Adware can detect that crap isn't loaded, but it is indistinguishable from the crap server being down. Normal page blocking is a lot more detectable, so assume pages then instruct you to disable your blocker.

Also, DNS blocking saves you bandwidth.

When sawing off your head, you want a nice clean cut. You'll want a new dual-purpose hacksaw blade, probably about 24-28 tpi.

Ugh, a Magic String (I call it that whatever the type)

FACILITY_MAX_PRESSURES = {
    "Durham": 1000,
    "Ipswich": 500,
    "Calne": 750,
}

max_pressure = list(sorted(
    FACILITY_MAX_PRESSURES.values()
))[-1]

if water_pressure > max_pressure:
    blah

Obviously it should really pull from facility management, but that's a bunch of moving parts where a constant is how you'd prefer the code to work

Tbh it starts to look better to just define a constant and comment it.
