The difference is that Oppenheimer was ostensibly in a race against a fascist regime to get the bomb, with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance.
Zuck and Musk and Jeff just want to make more money.
I both hate and love that ~50s American cars are so prevalent in Cuba from my understanding. Hate because it is/was out of necessity, love the enginuity required and that those beautiful cars are still taking people out for smiles.
My dumb ass wouldn’t have known that was poison ivy and would definitely have brushed up against it. You wouldn’t think poison ivy would be so close and abundant next to a road.
"Leaves of three, let them be." But I'm much more used to seeing poison oak than ivy, so my stupid ass stands a chance as well. The worst in my opinion is poison sumac, because I'd never seen it in my life before moving 5 whole hours north and it looked to me like a regular old fern-like plant.
It was not. What it was was all over my whole face.
That sucks. Usually poison sumac only grows in very wet areas. I had a dendrology professor who said (paraphrasing) “you’ll know if it’s poison sumac if your feet are wet”. Biology never follows rules though, so who knows.
I’d imagine the sort of companies willing to advertise towards their ilk are also the types not willing to pay much for it either. Not like typical ad networks like Google’s pay much to begin with lol
I’ve spent quite a lot of time trying to get The Hell mods running on Linux. Finally today I managed it. I wrote up some instructions (below) and provided the special Wine prefix were required to get the game running. Please let me know if you have any issues or have suggestions for improvement!
It was very difficult to find a way to run this on Linux - so I wrote this guide to help others who I know have also beat their heads against the table. The trick which finally allowed me to run it was I lucked into building a Wine prefix which is apparently crucially important to running the game. I have no idea what makes this Wine prefix special, but I’ve tested it on four computers (Ubuntu 20.04, 22.04, & Pop!OS) and it works on them all.
Downloads
You need the following four files
The mod: TH3_vx.xxxx.zip, and music pack: TH3_music_vx.x.zip
Available on the game CD-ROM, a copy from GOG, etc.
Wine setup and install
We’ll create the Wine prefix, install The Hell into that prefix, and then set up Lutris to point to it. This guide will create the prefix at ~/Games/diablo-the-hell, but you can put it elsewhere if you like.
Unpack the wine prefix file diablo-the-hell-wine-prefix.tar.xz to ~/Games/diablo-the-hell
Create a Windows folder for the game. You can use the UI or the terminal: mkdir ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/
Unzip the mod file TH3_vx.xxxx.zip to ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/
Unzip the music file TH3_music_vx.x.zip to ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/
Copy diabdat.mpq to ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/
Open ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/config.ini and make the following changes:
set DDraw onVery important!!
set fps 60 Limits frames per second (optional)
set startvideo off Skips opening cinematic on startup (optional)
set screenwidth 1920 Sets resolution width (optional)
set screenheight 1080 Sets resolution height (optional)
Lutris config
Press + to add a new game, and set the following:
Name: "Diablo - The Hell"
Runner: Wine
Click Game Options, set the following:
Executable: ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/TH2.exe (for The Hell 2), or ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/drive_c/Program Files/diablo-the-hell/TH3.exe (for The Hell 3)
Wine prefix: ~/Games/diablo-the-hell/
Click Save
Optional, if the game art doesn’t auto-populate:
Right Click on “Diablo - The Hell” -> Configure
Next to “Identifier” click Change
Change text to "diablo"
Click Apply -> Save
Click Lutris under “Sources” on the left -> Community Installers
Search for “diablo”, and wait for results to populate (the search downloads the art)
Exit the community installer section
Final thoughts
Important note on running the game: the opening UI menu has a visual bug But with the mouse & arrow keys (& some patience) you can navigate the menus to create a character. Once through the initial screens the game runs perfectly fine.
The special Wine prefix was built using Bottles, however Bottles is not required to run the game (these instructions use Lutris). If anyone can learn what is special about this prefix which makes the game work please let me know!
Despite what I’ve read online this mod works fine with DXVK. I don’t recommend disabling DXVK in Lutris when running the mod (contrary to what others have).
In case anyone asks: the specific Wine version doesn’t seem to matter. I had success with: lutris-GE-Proton8-8, lutris-7.2-2, and soda-7.0-4
Zeihan mister “linear extrapolation with no adaption over decades”. So i guess you are an expert in everything too.
ps. well it could be because Putin decided to do so and noone will ever really know what happened in that head or what information he was presented at the time
Putin did it because he's an abusive dickwad who thinks it's his god-given right to control Ukraine. That's it. That's the entire explanation.
People keep trying to rationalize his actions, come up with some more respectable reason, because there's no way this much death and suffering could be happening because one guy is an entitled, controlling piece of shit, right?
But in reality, that's how fascism always works. It's always been how it works. Why'd the Nazis invade Europe? Because they were entitled, controlling pieces of shit. Why'd the Soviet Union refuse to let the countries they liberated after WWII go? Because they were entitled, controlling pieces of shit. Why does China want to annex Taiwan? Because Xi's an entitled, controlling piece of shit.
Well thank you i really dont give a f*ck what you think the explanation is. You see my entire point is that you cannot know because you do not have access to his thoughts and frankly i dont care. It seems you are the same quality of person as Zaihnan someone that proclaims stuff with a tone of authority just expecting others to swollow your crap without reason.
Well i actually dont mean that as an insult but if someone shows no epistemic humility at all and then offers me the truth bomb “well hes a cunt” which will never lead to anything interresting or relevant i really just dont give a fuck for that persons oipinion on a matter and i think that is justified.
I'm sorry if I came off as confrontational or insulting, that couldn't have been further from my intentions. Absolutely did not mean to start any kind of drama / flame war, just sharing my opinion in what I thought was a friendly way. Hope you're having a lovely day, wherever in the world you may be! :)
Some are online, but encrypted, with options to export the passwords in case the service goes down.
“Why should I trust them?”
Well, the software is open source, and regularly audited by people using it. Many password managers, such as Bitwarden (not sponsored, although I’d like to get a sponsorship) uses end-to-end encryption to secure the passwords so someone hacking the servers or a rogue employee can’t access anything, It would just look like random noise. You don’t have to know coding, you just have to trust that someone in the world will have the knowledge to inspect the code and report any suspicious code. Just regularly back up the passwords to a local file so you still have them in case they shut down.
Trying to remember passwords made me constantly stressed trying to remember them. A password made life much easier. Better than a single point of failure like your brain. One password is much easier to remember, and that one password can be as complex as you want, because that’s the only one you’d have to worry about.
Sincerely,
Someone who’s depressed af and constantly forget passwords
Encryption can be decrypted. A password manager encrypting your passwords is like saying your car has working brakes. It’s totally unsafe to even consider operating without but it doesn’t say much when it is there.
It’s not a matter of “why should I trust them” but “why should I trust them more than the system that already exists”. I get the appeal, but the hole is big.
If I forget a password I reset it. If I forget my manager’s password can it be reset? Is the reset option, if extent, susceptible to attack?
If an account gets compromised it could have moderate repercussions, but probably minimal depending on the account, with maybe a couple exceptions. If managed passwords get compromised that’s potentially everything. There has not, and likely never will be, an impenetrable system, so it is a possibility if not a concern.
Heres a novel I wrote since some may see this as a reason not to use password managers. There are several steps to mitigate all of these concerns. For instance, using a hardware security key for cloud based managers in order to basically stop the biggest threat to you which is phishing. For forgetting your master password, the solution is an emergency sheet, have at least one backup offsite. Arguably the best thing you can do to keep yourself safe is having multiple backups of your vault, just follow the 3,2,1 rule like how you should be doing to begin with other important documents. Its true that theres no absolutes in this world but “cracking” the encryption and bypassing any other security obstacles put in place by an actual reputable manager or yourself should be the very least of your concerns. Companies recognize that people dont practice good security thats why 2fa is pushed on to them but that shouldnt be a replacement for good security practices especially if the 2fa is weak to begin with. Thank god we will be using passkeys soon tho. Also to answer the question the password managers I used dont allow the vaults password to be reset as a security measure but do allow the vault to be deleted so keep your email at the very least protected as much as you can, as you should be doing already, since if that gets overtaken youre shit out of luck with all the accounts tied to that email which brings up the topic of email masking/alias but thats a different burrito altogether.
By “emergency sheet” are you suggesting writing the access-to-everything password down somewhere? If so I’m hard pressed to think of many things less secure. If not I’m genuinely curious what it is.
I can’t imagine a scenario in which I wouldn’t have backups, but I appreciate the mention.
I also am generally not concerned with someone pickpocketing my house keys, but that’s not to say it isn’t a possibility. Awareness is the first step to mitigation.
Email has to be the most protected, I absolutely agree. But I definitely wouldn’t be comfortable with the possibility of needing to reset everything else if I lost my master password. But I don’t know that I’m more comfortable with the ability to reset. It really kinda feels lose-lose to me.
I don’t think we’ll move to passkeys any quicker or easier than we moved to 2FA. I’m glad we’re getting better options but we’re bound by the weakest links and they don’t like change.
Your usage of “secure” is very vague so I’ll clarify thats its the safest and most secure way to still be able to access your master password physically without it being leaked digitally thats the purpose of the physical emergency sheet. I’m suggesting this since I agree the weakest link is always the person first (memory and injury being the main culprits) then actual threats, but it should be stated your masterpassword should be something like a 6+ word, randomly generated passphrase so memorization shouldnt be a problem for the healthy, average joe imo. Keep the emergency sheet in a bolted down safe and/or somewhere offsite like a trusted one’s bolted down safe or a safety deposit box as a means to protect against burglary and fires. You can always limit what you want to put on the emergency sheet or even obscure it if thats a concern however, I would avoid that in case something happens to you and your loved ones need access to your account credentials, like your death for example. All your other point I agree with especially about the passkeys I really hope that takes off. Happy trails
