Why would you buy a new car if you are dead broke?

Nobody considers the risk of them going up in flames at night. They have a temp trip safety, but there is still some risk left. Especially for cheap Chinese power blocks.

Gosh. Normal people get an education and learn how these things work. And now you don’t have to trust the government or anybody for that matter because it makes sense and it works.
You don’t have to be a car specialist to know that is you put gasoline in it, it goes if you need it.

- Comment on Why Do Sovereign Citizens Keep Pursuing Unsuccessful Legal Defenses? 4 weeks ago:
An interesting addendum to your question: this is not a exclusively US based phenomenon. In Germany there are the Reichsbürgers they have similar ideas.
They think legally the state has no claim to rule and most people just don’t know they still live in the German Reich still.
So they have their own king selling them passports and they have pretty aggressive group think to try and enforce their claims.
My wife’s dad is one of them. The main thing I recognize comes from a pathological need to know better than everybody else. It’s very tightly coupled to their sense of worth and identity. They are better than everybody else because they have seen the light.
Pretty culty behavior and just enough pseudo truth to keep simple minds saying “yeah there might be something there”. Like “vaccination causes autism, they just don’t want you to know”.
Makes a loser in societies eyes, but a superhuman in their eyes. And yes, they still run into a wall and just keep trying to adjust their angle to hit that sacred sweet spot. Because now they need to prove how they are better and as they already have sacrificed so much they can’t be wrong to continue. (Just like a gambler who already lost a lot.)
So it’s a few psychological dynamics that grip into each other like gears and that ratchet them ever so tightly to their belief until there is no turning back.

Funnily enough I have written a system to do exactly that as a bachelor’s theses for IT security.
Places client certificates and a client inside the initrd and requests securely the key to unlock.
The sever waits for you to approve the request before providing the key. The key is only held in memory during boot.
I had a version that included for a hidden key provider and planned for a version that included time based auto unlocks etc.
I was planning to package that and release it as open source.
Still might do that.

Sometimes that’s regional. Are you located in Bavaria? I don’t know any German man that use makeup at all.

Reminds me of the dead sailors that would be sewn into their hammock and thrown overboard. And just to make sure they were really dead, they would sew one stitch through the nose.

As you already said, it’s caused by parents that don’t give you a safe and living emotional environment in early childhood.

Don’t forget about material wear due to UV radiation. ASA is good for outdoors projects, rugged, not as toxic and UV degradation is minimal.

- Comment on CalDAV Server Without Exposing Server? 2 months ago:
If you want sync to your phone, just set up a VPN. Now your phone and mobile computer can always access your services. I use SoGO, it has calendar hosting, authenticated sync which you can use with davx on android and the web interface is basic but usable. You can also enable mail, tasks and contact sync all in one.

Im gonna shit on your self hosting journey here for a bit. I’m sorry.
There is a reason sick people are in a location where people are close by to be able to react fast if shit hits the fan. What are you gonna do when you see your cat not moving at her favorite spot for too long? When are you gonna be sure she needs help? Then you call someone close by that needs 20 min to get there? And then another 30 to get to a vet? Does someone have a key to you apartment? Are they authorized to spend whatever at the vet?
Keep your ass at home and save the money until your cat is healthy again. Or give her into care so she is safe and not alone like any social animal like cats should not be for extended periods of time.
- Comment on Linux's Sole Wireless/WiFi Driver Maintainer Is Stepping Down - Phoronix 3 months ago:
The future of Foss is in corporate time donations for projects that are useful for them. Open software collaboration is one hell of an efficiency gain. Whenever me or my colleagues have dead time I ask them to work on improving open source projects. It’s just a few days every few months but it adds up. Also we like to fix bugs in Foss software that affects our customers as we usually fix and upstream them and can bill that to the customer. So the company gets played, the worker gets payed and open source gets funding. No more sole maintainers for life that don’t have money to heat their homes because nobody donates. :)
