This is my temporary potato holder. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My temporary potato holder is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. Without me, my temporary potato holder is useless. Without my temporary potato holder, I am useless. I must fire my temporary potato holder true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will … My temporary potato holder and I know that what counts in war is not the potatoes we launch, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit … My temporary potato holder is human, even as I [am human], because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my temporary potato holder clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will … Before God, I swear this creed. My temporary potato holder and I are the defenders of my yard. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is America’s and there is no enemy, but peace!

Grammar Nazi chiming in:
Too meaning ‘also’
We can use too to mean ‘also’. It is more common than also in informal situations. We normally use it at the end of the clause.
In short answers in informal situations, we normally say me too, not I too.
In more formal situations, we can use too immediately after the subject.

- Comment on End of 10 - Windows ten is ending. Microsoft wants you to buy a new computer. But what if you could make your current one fast and secure again? 1 week ago:
As I said over and over again: my biggest pet peeve with Linux is that there are often several ways to accomplish something but many are somewhat distribution specific and not really standardized.
Who doesn’t love to find a tool that has install instructions like:
Start by installing all required packages with
sudo apt get package1, package2,…then clone this repository and…Just to realize that a) you’re not running anything Debian based and b) you first step is now to find out how these packages are named in your package manager.
Or tutorials that tell you to do X and you only find out, that they’re assuming (but not telling you) you’re using Debian and some old package versions that now have a completely new syntax in their configuration, so that either the tutorial doesn’t work or you maybe even f up something by changing values that you shouldn’t touch.
Best is, of you find help in a distribution specific forum/wiki/… But not all problems can be found there

Also Discord 2: Your communities are suddenly 18% smaller, everyone is forced to a specific role in the community, most announced features for the release get cancelled and there’s heavy monetization with grindy battle passes.

You state that you did use the install script, but also that you want to run it with docker. Did you follow the instructions in their docker repository? It’s quite easy to get it running - they included a complete docker-compose, a Caddyfile and all you need.

- Comment on He has risen 3 weeks ago:
Last time I did this, I put the inserted elements into new layers and put some filters to generate some noise on these new layers (w/o applying it to the original picture) until it looked somewhat convincing. You might want to experiment with several methods to generate noise and their parameters (or even combine several of them). Also it can be handy to apply these effects to new effect layers on top of the layer(s) you want to adjust and then play around how you mix them.

And a blockchain helps to solve which part of the problem? Some were working on mirroring all data to a git repository. In theory, that allows for easy access on all the data, versioning (with commits) and - through forks and merge requests - collaboration and distribution. Also git is a distributed repository that clones the whole history to your local drive.
github.com/…/mitre-cve-database
But with the announcement of the cve foundation, I don’t know whether they will really import all the data in this git repository.
- Comment on PyPi tariff 4 weeks ago:
I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…
I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.

IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 5 weeks ago:
I read this as they’re even generating the frames with AI:
The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo
While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 5 weeks ago:
“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”
No, I don’t think that you’re talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You’re talking about game hallucination.
- Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale 1 month ago:
At least we’re constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.
Depending on the system you’re working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the “problematic” systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.
So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in “my” systems… I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there’s always something that doesn’t go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well… Good luck. You’ll need it.

Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^Just asking for a friend^
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 1 month ago:
I also got this survey and I had the same feeling. It felt more like a patron for their game preservation program with possible features like a members-only-community, interviews or documentation about the preserved games, their publishers/studios and the efforts to keep them running or some kind of loyalty rewards/discount coupons. Maybe even ‘special builds’ like ‘experience the OG version 1.0 of $game’.
There was one option, that I interpreted like ‘maybe we will put future compatibility updates after purchase (e.g. supporting Windows 12 or whatever) behind the membership’ - but that’s purely my interpretation of a single bullet point style line in that whole several page long survey

- Comment on How to configure UFW rules for podman 1 month ago:
I’m currently experimenting if I can convert my stack to rootless podman.
I found in my notes, that
A user-mode networking tool for unprivileged network namespaces must be installed on the machine in order for Podman to run in a rootless environment.
Podman supports two rootless networking tools: pasta (provided by passt) and slirp4netns.
Could this be your problem?
