Yeah, and the toys sold at bad-dragon.com are plenty firm

The future is getting a QR code tattooed on your forehead so the link bubble blocks your face, and machine learning thinks you’re an avocado. I’m getting mine done tomorrow.

Hell yeah. Every one of these threads makes me more inclined to read man pages

How does that work for broadcasts from your device, designed to prompt beacons from dorman aps you might have joined before? Once you join it provides a random mac, but before then?

ketchup, mustard and relish, mixed in a 3:2:1 ratio is a fair faximilie of the sauce on an A&W’s Mama burger.

It’s my go to now for every burger!

Buster’s slightly concerned he’s about to be replaced with bookworm

Let me introduce you to an interesting theory.

My friend and I tried this with sevtech ages. Too heavy, too much, too slow.

We switched to life in the village with iris shaders, and we’re much happier!

They were thinking the same thing the same thing the cable execs were thinking.

“If they have to buy both our service and others, then other service are not my competition.”

”We’re going to rape these motherfuckers”

So I’ve implemented Obsidian Git, and it works really well. The only trouble I’ve had is on iOS (I’ve got m it on android, fedora, debian and windows) where it’s bot supporting merge changes.

I’m considering moving to logseq and implementing the same.

The other alternative to self hosting is ‘SyncThing’. After I introduced my dad to obsidian, I saw how he did his synchronization with it, and it looks like a lot less overhead - fairly compelling

Happy to share some notes on my setup and his if you like

It changes up two to four days.

Currently it’s Witness (Hope 1), by Roots Manuva.

Last week it was The Caves of Altamira, by Steely Dan

This is also true for UDP and ICMP connections, in case anyone reading wasn’t sure. This is how you’re able to ping stream and browse from behind your regular firewalls

Ubuntu GUI/apt fail

Back when I used ubuntu, Unity was stuck with old gnome packages. This meant that the version gnome-terminal packaged with ubuntu (up to at least 18.04) didn’t have text reflow on window size changes.

You could add the upstream sources, upgrade the specific text reflow package only, and then disable the sources.

I forgot to disable the sources, or typed dist-upgrade (this happened multiple times…). Broke the whole desktop/lightdm setup with half upgraded packages, and half removed packages (for preparation to install new versions). Way easier to reinstall the os than to disentangle. Unity was a mess then anyway.

Moral: Actually read the package change summaries when doing updates/removes/installs, and [ y/N ] means actually check what the fuck you think you’re agreeing to.

BtrFS snapshots for idiots

I’ve also run automated snapshots on my btrfs partition, then run out of space doing multi-hop system upgrade on fedora (dnf has a plugin that creates a snapshot every time it kicks in.

You can imagine there were many changes happenning per snapshot, and I effectively could have rolled back 4 major fedora versions… Til I ran out of space.

I couldn’t get a replacement drive in time, and I had an hour to rebuild my laptop before needing to be on a customer site, so sadly I couldn’t preserve my drive for later investigation. My best guess is the high-water-mark was configured incorrectly, and somehow it was able to ‘write’ data past the extents of the filesystem.

Rollback did work for my home partition, but I had to mount it from another OS to get it to work - so no data loss!

By that time I’d already reinstalled the os to the root partition/subvolume however, so I couldn’t determine the exact cause of failure :(

Moral: Snapshots are not backups, and ‘working’ is not ‘tested’

Your feeds look like my feeds. I approve

No, that’s handled by ARP requests. In this case, it’s likely that the DHCP server is on the gateway, as that’s a pretty common setup for home ISP router arrangements.

Gateway refers to a router that has access to other networks. In this case, the default gateway, which will be the router that has access to the internet.

DNS or name servers are a separate option in DHCP leases, as are the IP addresses for DHCP servers, which are more of a windows thing generally.

In this case this comment is probably an accurate description of what’s happened:

You might check your BIOS clock time too, if the certs are ‘expired’, it might be the future, or more likely, the past. Certs have validity timers that specify start and end.

It’s more likely that your BIOS is just old, and you’ll have to keep secure boot disabled from now on.

I’d hesitate to call it truly enterprise, but I’ve used the 24 port/10Gbe version of these in a datacenter. Not many issues to write home about - seems to handle vlanning pretty well.

Has 10Gbe uplinks, US power, and PoE+. Probably access to a fancy dashboard too.

$1600 is probably as cheap as you’re getting.

Edit: Oh yeah, they’re probably not dual attached, and the ‘redundant power supply’ (RPS) is a separate appliance, which I consider kinda bullshit, that takes up another U.

I’ve had no trouble with actual switching performance though fwiw.

Edit 2: They’re probably compatible with the AR mobile app, which is hella cool, and somewhat useful in customer sites.

48 port Ubiquiti

Same. There is also a handicap rail through my sternum.

Do not forget to log out and log back in after you add yourself to a new group. Your desktop environment is a program, and it won’t know about the update until you spawn a new graphical shell with the updated permissions.

I’ve been eying up this one. Have you used other ereaders before? Have you got anything to compare it to?

I hear that having a screen that isn’t flush with the touch surface really improves the word clarity. I’m not really enjoying my paperwhite 5 because it’s has a weird blurred effect on the screen because it’s flush
