I think Tesla. I want to ask him about a bunch of the rumors and conspiracy theories about him. I’m sure almost all of them are bogus, but I’d love to know.
My son picked Einstein. He’s curious what his last words were.

- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 2 weeks ago:
systemd’s networkd has a built-in DHCP server; check option ‘DHCPServer’ and section ‘DHCPServer’ for that (same man page as above).
Is that true in Debian? If so, cool. I did not know that.

I’m happy to answer specific questions as you dig into it. :) Good luck.
- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 2 weeks ago:
This is extremely possible and I have done a lot of stuff like it (I set up my first home built Linux firewall over 20 years ago). You do want to get some kind of multiport network card (or multiple network cards… usb -> ethernet adapters can do OK filling in in a pinch). It also gives you a lot of power if you want to do specific stuff with specific connections (sub netting, isolation of specific hosts, etc).
There’s a lot of ways to do it, but the one I’m most familiar with is just to use IP tables.
The very first thing you want to do is open up /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward and change the 0 to a 1 to turn on network forwarding.
You want to install bridge-utils and isc-dhcp-server (or some other DHCP server). Google or get help from an LLM to configure them, because they’re powerful and there’s a lot of configs.
Your basic iptables rule is going to be something like
iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o enp1s0 -j MASQUERADE, but again there’s lots of possible IP tables rules so read up on those.

That reputation has entirely been created by the media frenzy over busting the worst kinds of criminals.
Oh they’re all using the same technology? Yeah of course they are, because that’s the technology that works the best. It has so many fucking use cases.
Funny that the media frenzy is hitting a fever pitch just as we most desperately need powerful tools for opposing fascism. Almost like that’s not really a coincidence.
- Comment on What's the story in your field? Here's mine 5 weeks ago:
TBH, 98% security problems in the Python ecosystem boil down to mission critical projects using old versions of libraries or straight up unmaintained libraries, where the library in question is 100+ megabytes of who knows what, but the project only imports one function, the utility of which the devs could have recreated themselves in 15 minutes without needing to use the library, especially lately when everyone just imports what the AI tells them to import.

Is there actually any biologic mechanism to generat and conduct electricity at a high enough voltage and current that it can ionize air over a distance as large as that (looks like at least 1/2m) without damaging the actual animal doing it?
Midichlorians. The ability to cause an extinction level event is insignificant next to the power of the Force.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 2 months ago:
I agree with basically everything you said, although I’ve found more things than just the Gorn in SNW to be cranky about. While TNG era never TRIED to get science and engineering right… they tried WAY harder than SNW, which is saying something and NOT a good something. It’s like TNG’s attitude was “We know we’re goofy, but we DO have techno bable consultants, and we try to link some of what we’re doing to real physics and engineering” while SNW is like “We don’t even care, rule of cool in a hollywood hipstery writer way, we don’t really know what we’re talking about, nor do we care.” Major pet peeve of mine.
Also, I love Carol Kane as an actress, but she’s just Lillian in space, and honestly, I really didn’t ever need that.
Certainly, some of my joy in the show also just has to do with it just being better than Discovery (for which I’m like…oh thank god).
Lower Decks was a better show.
- Comment on Dear Kevin 2 months ago:
Having worked with a bunch of Boomer and older Gen X EEs, it is a fucking misogynistic boys club of white ass old men with undiagnosed autism. I have never heard so many racist and sexist jokes in the workplace.
So this surprises me not at all (in fact, I think I’ve heard it before, but as “Black Boys * * *”).

Many of my self hosted solutions are just DIY cludges. I was talking to a friend of a friend on Saturday about media streaming and he told me all about his Jellyfin setup and then asked about mine and I was just like “I just store MP4s on an SSHFS drive and play them in VLC on my TV (which runs Linux Mint).” When the survey asked about the various types of software I was like “No… I don’t use anything like that… wait… yes I do! I just don’t use a prebuilt solution!”

- Comment on Why does Lemmy use "@" instead of ":" like Matrix does? 3 months ago:
Because Lemmy is like social media and Matrix is like Slack and Discord and they both followed the conventions of their predecessors. You’re welcome to go take it up with the devs on Lemmy.ml.

And honestly, my sourness with the 32nd century is sourness with Disco. It remains the only Trek series I haven’t seen every single episode of.
So I’ll give Academy a chance.
- Comment on Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ 4 months ago:
I’ll watch it, but I’m already skeptical because it’s set in the 32nd century. That’s like setting Star Wars stuff in the Sequels Era (don’t do it).
