That’s fair though. I mostly made my comment to be irritating/silly. Vim is not for everyone. It took me quite some time to achieve productivity gains, but I was encouraged to keep trying because I was doing a shitload of text editing over SSH. All text editors are valid, provided they’re FOSS.

neovim to the rescue.

Arch Linux, on an old Compaq pizza box server when I was 16. It took me 3 months to install Arch because there was a DIP switch on the motherboard that somehow prevented you from updating the MBR or some shit.

I basically never used it and didn’t touch Linux again until 7 years later, when I used SLES 11 SP2 at a job.

ooh ooh I know about this because of this silly thing:

In the short term? Grey rock your “friend.” This person is an enabling shit who does not have your best interests at heart. You are being physically abused. What you describe isn’t corporal punishment (which I personally consider to still be physical abuse), it is abuse. Starving someone to punish them is abuse. Anyone who takes part in, or enables said abuse is not someone you want in your life.

Do you have anyone safe in your life that you could go to? Other friends that would not condone what you are experiencing? An estranged parent? Even a trustworthy teacher? I’d recommend trying to build up a support network of people who actually care for your well being before pushing this enabling piece of trash out of your life.

I think you’ll enjoy this if you haven’t already seen it.

imo, hardware raid is irrelevant for most small-scale use-cases and can be a liability for homelabbers. In a professional context, I’ve had a raid card shit itself causing temporary data loss and downtime because my idiot bosses didn’t buy a spare card back when they set up their system. If you’re doing hardware RAID, you must buy two cards, and they MUST be on the same firmware version. Software RAID is basically just as fast, is far more flexible, has one less SPOF, and is cheaper (a cheap HBA being all you need hardware-wise). About the only other thing some RAID cards have is a battery backup unit to get around write hole issues, but good filesystems can help with that too.

Hardware RAID isn’t necessarily obsolete, but I’d say it’s like mainframes—the applications for it are highly specialized.

Wireguard was written with the explicit goal of having sane, secure defaults. I totally feel you w.r.t. openvpn or ipsec, since it’s easy to do something wrong. Wireguard is much easier because it simply refuses to give you the choice to do things incorrectly.

w.r.t. the certificate thing, you could set up a reverse proxy and do HSTS to ensure nobody can load up a rogue CA on your devices. HSTS has the issue that SSH has (trust on first use or whatever it’s called), but you just need to make sure nobody is MITM you for that first connecting and then you’ll be good to go. This would let you use a self-signed certificate if you do desired.

I was concerned about what happens when someone accidentally throws away a device with a fresh battery, but this:

The BV100 harnesses energy from the radioactive decay of its nickel-63 core. The two-micron thick core, sandwiched between two 10-micron thick diamond semiconductors

makes me feel a bit better. That really isn’t much radioactive material. Still, it’d be good to see some environmental impact studies done in some worst case scenarios.

Yeah, I could see it being from an antitheist if it was more along of the lines of “fuck all gods” or something along those lines. That’s operating under the assumption that all antitheists are atheists, which may not be true.

… Someone who is a theistic antitheist sounds like an interesting person.

He boot too big for he got damn feet!

I miss /r/boottoobig. Thanks for posting some poetry here.

Huh, sounds like a neat twist on the accelerator driven subcritical reactor. I’ve no idea what the viability will be, but it also seems like a nice way to generate useful isotopes for nuclear medicine and shit.

EDIT: ah, it’s actually a pretty old idea, it predates the accelerator reactor concept by quite a bit.

I’m on my early thrities. I scored 1, I believe. I don’t think I’ve ever recorded music off of the radio. I had CDs as a child, and then Napster, Limewire, and Limewire’s degen cousin Bearshare came along and made recording shit off of the radio unnecessary. I’m pretty sure I’ve used a portable cassette player, although I doubt it was a Walkman. It was probably some cheap Chinese shit.

Also, this is very Facebook and I feel weird for responding. I’ll blame it on being half awake.

EDIT: oh, the rules have changed. If we’re only counting the past 12 months, then 18, I think? I own a physical dictionary and encyclopedia, although I’ve no idea where they are.

Possibly incorrect summary: Android is moving from a bazaar development style to a cathedral development style if I understand it correctly.

This is my father. Like, I’m happy that he doesn’t hate me because I’m bi and poly. He’s pretty open about how he thinks the Republican party is cruel and shitty.

His problem is that he associates fiscally progressive policies with California’s creaking and inefficient bureaucracy. In his career, he spent a lot of time interacting with various CA governmental departments and he grew to loathe them intensely. Whenever I discuss progressive policies with him, he always relates it back to his experiences living and working in California and then just shrugs and says “I hate both parties for different reasons.”

It’s funny, because like, shit man, I kinda agree with him on a superficial level. California’s state and local governments sucks at their jobs in a lot of ways (see the notorious San Francisco public bathroom). I agree that unions (of which there are many in California) can sometimes impede quick and efficient work (although I don’t fucking care, I just chill out and am patient with folks and the shit gets done eventually. The process would be more efficient if the company tried to have a more harmonious relationship with the union).

He just doesn’t seem to understand that as far as progressive polities go, California is a terrible example. There are plenty of places around the world that that have implemented progressive and socialist policies while still preserving the things he cares about (efficiency and relative frugality), but he’s never been to those places. He hasn’t engaged with those governments. All he can think of is the “progressive” state that caused him so much anger.

So basically, I think most people like this are fundamentally nice and decent, but they’re ignorant and are blind to the underlying dissonance between their social and fiscal philosophies. My dad has never voted for Trump (he wrote in a friend’s name which was basically a vote for Trump, but fuck man, it’s at least a little better), but I don’t believe he’ll ever accept that voting according to his fiscal philosophy directly contradicts his social philosophy.

EDIT: apologies if this is rambling or poorly written. I’m sleep deprived and distracted and very stressed, and I probably shouldn’t have commented at all.

I believe you can force pycharm to launch using Wayland. There’s some option you can pass to it when you launch it.

The noble interrobang will one day shine like the star it is.

For people like me who lack context:

Authelia is an open-source authentication and authorization server and portal fulfilling the identity and access management (IAM) role of information security in providing multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your applications via a web portal. It acts as a companion for common reverse proxies.

I love rust and projects rewritten in Rust, but I’ve felt pretty mixed about this particular project. The strong copyleft on GNU coreutils is part of what keeps many Linux distros truly free. There’s stuff like BusyBox or BSD coreutils if you need something you can make non-free, but GNU coreutils are just so nice. I wish this reimplementation in rust had been licensed with GPL or a similar copyleft license. At least there’s no CLA with copyright transfer.
