- Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake? 6 hours ago:
Is there ice cream on it or in it? Spoon. Otherwise, fork.
- Comment on Would you ever call your son a disappointment? 6 hours ago:
No. “Being a disappointing,” yes. “A disappointment,” no.
The difference is one is a fixable behaviour, and the other is an identity.
- Comment on Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options? 1 day ago:
For sure. And their bumbling has made it harder to deactivate all the useless bloat and get the good web-editor back. And a host of other mind-numbingly short-sighted decisions that show they’re fully run by LostBoy coders who were never mentored and just don’t know better.
But tuning can come after. And their CI is way fucking better than forgejo’s facepalm of a GitHub clone. And that’s a thin reason, but, yeah.
- Comment on Firefox's beta feature "Smart Window" shared browsing and search history to AI models without prompting 2 days ago:
The geo-exfiltration of personal information needs to be in great big banner lights; and not just because you’re outside America, or China, or wherever the bot happens to be where Firefox is exfitrating your history as queries.
Exfil is bad; geo-exfiltration is next-level bad.
- Comment on Easy-to-use solar panels are coming, but utilities are trying to delay them 4 days ago:
If your business is critical for modern human living, it should be non-profit. It should be guided by the best management plan of the time, debated and approved by the majority of shareholders. It should open its books and stay open.
Really, it should be government.
- Comment on Considering self hosting my own git repositories. What are some options? 5 days ago:
It’s monstrous, but gitlab installs from one big RPM on a base box; and with one config file you’re up.
- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 5 days ago:
Do you think they’d actually bring back the draft?
The important question is whether THEY think they’ll bring back the draft; and the answer is yes, they are thinking of that very thing. Young men - they’ll bar women - will go and die, just to keep the Epstein files sealed by any distraction possible. Any fight, any time, anything big and bloody.
(Because if you listen to the one witness, it’s just eve such more more heinous than even this)
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 6 days ago:
Yay! More places where devs will just say you can’t run their stuff.
I’m pretty sure I don’t need to use anything built by a company so preoccupied with my birthday.
- Comment on New York Bill Would Force Age ID Checks at the Device Level 6 days ago:
… And based on usage, it’ll be run by a religious group. They consume the most porn, after all, and I bet this kind of bill is virtue-signaling or offloading of responsibility.

most of the world have Android
Heck, most of the Known Universe.
- Comment on Do you stick to the same linux distro across your devices? 1 week ago:
It’s called the universal operating system for a reason.
If they call themselves that, it really doesn’t count. It’s like how trump ended like 10 wars to get his FIFA peace medal.

You say “sorry, I’ll correct that now and be more careful. Nice catch” a little weird.

At least the banks are figuring out what we knew long ago.

I don’t need to read further. If you can’t pluralize OS, I don’t trust you to speak on it.

No jack? Send it back.
- Comment on LLMs can unmask pseudonymous users at scale with surprising accuracy 1 week ago:
I kinda think I want it to try. I make little effort to hide my location or identity, and I think I’d kike to see the results.
…just without saying who I am before I get those results. And my desire to stay anonymous-ish and not give it a chance to cheat means I can’t satisfy I have the right to the identify of myself if it finds who I am.
Quite seriously, I cannot prove I have the right to make it search for me, for myself, without giving it too much information or without risking the leak of private info to a so-far unidentified stranger if it finds anything.
Catch-22

More gear into the second market. Nice.

Sometimes the Lennart Poetterings fuck up
Dude. That guy has single-handedly ruined two decades of bulletproof, fast, reliable booting. I can’t wait until we all wise up and it’s more than PCLinuxOS that avoids this mess. It’s a metastatic kudzu/poison-ivy hybrid with a taste for flesh.
- Comment on Dark patterns killed my wife’s Windows 11 installation – OSnews 2 weeks ago:
2 weeks to set everything up (lamp stack, K3S, crowdsec, openappsec, wireguard, etc)
If you’re pushing kubes onto a normie or a noob, the fault’s partially yours. Single-box apache, maybe samba xor git, depending on the workflow, and some audio hints in /etc/profile.d to remind them how to restart various pieces if they can putty in.

If you only knew how fortified an AWS DC would be in that area. It’s gonna fail-secure, and getting in will require leverage.

- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
What’s the big deal? For 20 years in the enterprise space it’s been.
yum upgrade -y && rebootinto cron and no issues. At the day job I even had satellite (5 and that shitball 6) cronned up to do my promotion automatically (even when 6 had shit for scheduling and I had to cron-parallel-xargs a better one). All cron.Hell, I barely pay attention to the email reports now. It’s been that long. Okay, prod updates on Friday night only; but that’s our only nod to risk. Because even after the metastatic fatberg that is Systemd, it’s still barely reliable.
What’s the added risk for Debian packages? Imperfect replacement? No signed manifest to compare against? What?
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 2 weeks ago:
I wish it was only double. You saw where I said it was 4x? 4x is really close to 5x ; 80% of the way, you know.
- Comment on Is the Memory Shortage Intentional? 2 weeks ago:
Not if they sell it on the surge.
They may have millions extra, and that just means they’ve now become a shitty version of best buy as they schlepp it at surge pricing to make back the bank.

- Comment on (XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW 2 weeks ago:
- Self-hosting guide appears missing
- Other guides have crazy writing errors
- Setup looks convoluted.
What I’ve seen makes me bet I could be dragging iso27002 out and marking all the rules it breaks. …and the devs won’t know what that means.
- Comment on (XMPP Setup Guide) Discord Was Never the End Game - TonyBTW 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. It sucks that the protocol works and everyone can use it. It’s the worst.
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 2 weeks ago:
The RAM I just bought last week was 4 times the identical purchase 14 months ago.
You sure it’s not part of the shortage? Who’s making new ddr4?
