Correct. They’ll usually just hold it at the front desk. Make sure it’s addressed as with something “Guest : Mr Johnson”
- Comment on Wildlife cam setups? 1 day ago:
You can get a WiFi or LTE trail cam that essentially to works the same. If you get LTE though, you’ll almost certainly need a VPN setup on your network as well to work around CGNAT issues.
- Comment on I built LinuxMate to kill post-install chaos (free repo + demo) 1 day ago:
I get that you’re aiming this at a user base of new folks and all, but I’m super confused to see Nix on there.
This is kind of…Nix’s entire identity, no?
One could also make the argument that this supercedes bootstrap tools that each distro has. Kickstart for example.
I would maybe focus on making helper scripts that do specific things for groups of users, like installing all the steam-* packages for Steam installs and not just steam itself since this is pretty opinionated on how you’re choosing to install things re: native package manager vs Flatpak and such.

Tim Walz.
He already tried California for Harris and failed miserably.

They have Open Source versions of their stack. Just run it yourself at no cost.
Am I missing something?
- Comment on I’ve hit a wall with tech. 4 days ago:
I think you’re asking the wrong question here. You should be asking “Is my tech stack doing what I need and working for me?”.
If yes, then just keep doing what you’re doing.
If not, then figure out what’s wrong, and take steps to fix it.
Trying to “compete” - as it sounds like you may be trying to do - IS futile. But what are you competing over? Why would you feel the need to compete with the things you hate? That’s not where your battle is, it sounds like.
- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 5 days ago:
Sorry, ma dude. This is 100% incorrect. Been doing this a long time, and have managed massive numbers of desktop sessions for enterprise end users.
Lookup
dconf. It’s the tool that manages the underlying configuration engine for Gnome specifically.Outside of the granularity there, you could also just lock everything to a group and exclude logged in users from that group. That’s a very simplistic way of explaining itz but achieves the exact same thing. You build a base image with only the apps the user needs, set execution to an inclusive group that user belongs, and everything else to some other groups, and there you go. Dead simple.
Of course that’s not how you’d do it for an org with thousands of users, but you get the point.
- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 5 days ago:
Uhhhh yeah there is? You can customize any user profile and centrally control it just as you can on Windows. You can even PXE boot all workstations with new images whenever you want instead of relying on individual machines to issue updates, something that Windows isn’t capable of.
Not sure where you got this idea, but you’re misinformed.
- Comment on Hosting multiple services with one IP address. 6 days ago:
For starters: Rails, PHP, and passthrough routing stacks like message handlers and anything that expects socket handling. It’s just not built for that, OR session management for such things if whatever it’s talking to isn’t doing so.
It seems like you think I’m talking smack about HAProxy, but you don’t understand it’s real origin or strengths and assume it can do anything.
It can’t. Neither can any of the other services I mentioned.
Chill out, kid.
- Comment on What was the most pregnant "Yessss..." you've ever heard? 6 days ago:
I get the vernacular, I just don’t understand what example they are referring to.
- Comment on Hosting multiple services with one IP address. 6 days ago:
HAProxy is not meant for complex routing or handling of endpoints. It’s a simple service for Load Balancing or proxying alone. All the others have better features otherwise.
- Comment on What was the most pregnant "Yessss..." you've ever heard? 6 days ago:
I have no idea what this even means. Examples might be helpful.
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 6 days ago:
Any state would have to secede first.
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 6 days ago:
I think you’re asking about secession, and at what point that becomes necessary?
Texas threatens this every decade or so. The problem is that any individual states outside of New York and California would not be able to subsist. These two states because they have massive economies and are coastal, others because they are landlocked between.
The first order of business down this road is finding legal ways to stop the flow of money from these states to the federal government and starving them, which will invariably destroy the country as a whole.
It’s complicated.
- Comment on Hosting multiple services with one IP address. 6 days ago:
I’ll be honest with you here, Nginx kind of ate httpd’s lunch 15 years ago, and with food reason.
It’s not that httpd is “bad”, or not useful, or anything like that. It’s that it’s not as efficient and fast.
The Apache DID try to address this awhile back, but it was too late. All the better features of nginx just kinda did httpd in IMO.
Apache is fine, it’s easy to learn, there’s a ton of docs around for it, but a massively diminished userbase, meaning less up to date information for new users to find in forums in the like.
- Comment on Hosting multiple services with one IP address. 6 days ago:
It’s called a Reverse Proxy. The most popular options are going to be Nginx, Caddy, Traefik, Apache (kinda dated, but easy to manage), or HAProxy if you’re just doing containers.
- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 6 days ago:
That’s not really the point though. I’m not even talking about end users. Government agencies, corporate backend services, customer service agencies and more are all abandoning Windows for Linux partially because Win11 is a horrible product, but also because the requirements just keep growing which is stupid.
There response to this is the above, which they were STAUNCHLY opposed to previously because they need to try and force AI down users throats to justify the money they have pissed away on it. They’re shoehorning Copilot bullshit into every product line they have now, and it’s WILDLY unpopular and unnecessary. If this is the best they can do to address it, they’ll continue to hemorrhage users.
When more state agencies in the US start switching, they’ll release some “Windows Lite” bullshit, but it will too late because the commitments needed for these organizations to bother switching is massive. They’ll be losing licenses for an entire generation of Windows at the very least.
- Comment on My website was down; because I didn't pay the server bill 6 days ago:
Looks like you’re hosting a mostly static frontend there. Could be hosting that for free in a number of places, and then you’d have no problem.
- Comment on Microsoft may soon allow IT admins to uninstall Copilot 6 days ago:
“Allow”
Fuck you, Microsoft. You and Apple have lost millions of users to Linux, and I’m here for it.

- Comment on After Micron's greedy decision, SK Hynix could also exit consumer DRAM and NAND business 1 week ago:
GEEEEEE, what a coincidence, eh? Almost like these companies may be coordinating some sort of market shift for some reason.
What do you call that when a bunch of companies responsible for large swathes of market share of a particular good or service use the guise of unnatural market pressure to create conditions unnaturally beneficial to themselves and not consumers?
- Comment on Cheapest way to back up a *lot* of data? 1 week ago:
First: there is no cheap way to back this amount of data up. AWS Glacier would be about $200/mo, PLUS bandwidth transfer charges, which would be something like $500. R2 would be about $750/mo, no transfer charges. So assume that most companies with some sort of whacky, competing product would be billed by either of these companies with you as a consumer, and you can figure out how this is the baseline of what you’ll be getting charged from them.
50TB of what? If it’s just readily available stuff you can download again, skip backing that up. Only keep personal effects, and see how much you can reduce this number by.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Narcan doesn’t eliminate being high in any sort of psychological or emotional way. It blocks opioid effects by flooding available receptors and preventing opioids from attaching to them.
It’s like a box of those outlet socket protectors people use to baby proof a home…on a microscopic level.
- Comment on Why does my ISP sometimes give one IPv6 and another with a different subnet? 1 week ago:
It all is if you’re getting both. You’re sharing IPs with many different devices at the same time. That’s how it works.
