Michael Bloomberg is worth an estimated $106 billion — but you won't find him on the Bloomberg rich list (finance.yahoo.com)

His wealth has roughly tripled from $35.5 billion in 2015, making him one of only 14 people worth more than $100 billion by Forbes’ reckoning. Excluding his fortune leaves a sizable hole in the Bloomberg index.

I wish Bloomberg would stop spamming anti marijuana propaganda all the time on his website and passing it off as “news”. Fuck that asshat. What companies does he own so I can boycott them all?

MyNamesNotRobert ,

His commentary of police chases can be entertaining but meh.

I had a “good” job at one point. I didn’t put money into a 401k because I knew I wouldn’t be employed there forever.

Let’s say you’re 25 and you put 6% of $50k/yr into a 401k and then get fired 4 years later but then the best job you can find afterwards pays only a bit more than half of what you were making. You don’t get that back that until you’re 65 or whatever. That would have been $12k that’s just gone. I want to actually live to be 65. I needed that money. I’m glad I didn’t do that.

I won’t have a retirement but at least I’ve (so far) never been homeless or had to live in my car.

I think Endeavour OS is like that too. I have 2 “unfixable” bugs on my arch installation that can never be removed. I have to manually do 2 annoying workaround tasks every time I turn on my computer before I can use it and this will likely never go away. I’ve been told both these issues can’t be fixed without a complete os reinstall and even then it might not go away. I booted into an Endeavour OS live usb and what do you know, both those bugs were fixed out of the box. Endeavour is based on Arch. The kernel it was running was a kernel number release after my installation developed both of these “forever” bugs.

Arch is great and all but holy fuck I’m sick and tired of this fucking bullshit all the time. One of these times I’m going to type sudo pacman -Syu and it will develop yet a third unfixable forever bug. This is the same shit that drove me away from Windows: uncontrollable degradation over time that can’t be fixed without os reinstall. Even Gentoo isn’t this unforgiving.

It’ll happen some day. There will eventually be “Illegal” wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they’ll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there’s just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

Anonymous users are dominating right-wing discussions online. They also spread false information (apnews.com)

The reposts and expressions of shock from public figures followed quickly after a user on the social platform X who uses a pseudonym claimed that a government website had revealed “skyrocketing” rates of voters registering without a photo ID in three states this year — two of them crucial to the presidential contest....

I pirate too much stuff because monthly fees and everything as a service are eating everyone alive. Hard pass.

I hope she at least died immediately, that sounds like a terrible way to go.

YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat

I was talking about hygiene with my partner who is a nurse and they were telling me that a lot of people remark that their armpits are smelling worse than normal and they are using more and more deodorant and people just think it is normal....

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Huh, I’m going to try shaving my armpits. I’m a smelly guy and I seem to need to use a lot of deodorant to keep it under control.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Fuck yes now I can lose 120tb of data and they’ll still refuse to replace the drive despite it being under warranty because apparently 1399235195 bad reads + the drive being unusable isn’t considered broken enough to get a replacement.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for a lot of my “googling” because modern day search results are fucking worthless now.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

llamacpp. Remember to modify the launch script to use multiple cores. Go to hugging face io and look for GGUF compatible models.

If its not working on your phone, here is an alternate link

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don’t comment if I have nothing to add.

I hate Java because whenever people make games or performance sensitive applications with it, performance is always complete ass shit. On top of that, it seems I always have to cave in and use Windows because when I’m trying to compile a Java project, there’s some obscure dependency can only be acquired and installed correctly on windows.

Try compiling Freerouting in anything other than Windows for example. It’s a good fucking thing Java apps are cross platform.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

When it gets impossible to find tvs that stay out of your way, I’m going to become obsessed with crt monitors. Learning how to maintain them to keep them running literally forever seems like a more achievable goal than doing that same thing with normal unshittified flat-screen tvs.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I liked it when people were posting ai pictures of Jesus stealing ipads and shoplifting and stuff.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

How to go from only being able to compile the project on a Windows machine (due to obscure dependencies that every other Java project has for some reason) to not being able to compile on anyone’s machine in just 1 simple step.

If you get even 1 thing wrong, the entire program stops working and you don’t get any information about it. Turns out those cryptic errors like “error: object reference not set to instance of an object at address 0x007e00” are kind of important information to have. Unless you specifically know where it’s crashing, finding the source of the problem is like finding a needle in a haystack. If it’s your own code it’s borderline manageable but you’ll regret every decision that led you up to that point. If it’s someone else’s code such as an old project from 9 years ago that doesn’t work anymore, absolutely forget about it.

The only advantage of php is that it’s incredibly lightweight. I was running an Athlon XP home server on Gentoo as late as 2022 and still had php running despite only having the SSE1 instruction set and a cpu less powerful than whats probably on a modern led lightbulb.

But ACKTCHUALLY I think django and python bottles can be run on even shittier computers than php can since it uses python and python has been demonstrated to be runnable on a pentium 1. So there is no reason to use php.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Then all the additional scammers will receive more shock pics. Hell, I’d even try to fish their pii and do all kinds of evil things with it. All it takes is for them to reveal their real phone number (as many text scammers do) or a website with whois information.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I swear to fuck, in 2030 we’re going to be spinning our own homebrew crts. 640x480 is better than ads.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

It won’t be long now before all Microsoft products need a monthly fee. Now people will actually have to switch to Linux due to cost instead of switching to Linux just because they want to.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

To the average person, putting that much thought and effort into it is for elite hackers only. I know a guy that does cybersecurity and still has smart everything in his house.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I know how to use git pull, git push, git commit, git status and git add *. I don’t even know how git commit and git push works I just know you run them in that order. Whenever I break everything I give up and go outside.

Is there a list of banks that do this? Some don’t ban root users. Or at least some don’t do as good a job as others at detecting it. Magisk has at least some kind of root hiding stuff in it.

MyNamesNotRobert , (edited )

I know the costs of living in California are so far out of control it’s barely livable but considering the job opportunities in my area I kind of want to move there just to get a fast food job. I even have a degree in IT yet I have to compete with people more qualified and experienced than me just for a $15/hr job.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I’m going to try this with some dirt and see if I can identify what the dirt is made of that easily or not.

MyNamesNotRobert , (edited )

Thank fuck. This won’t be the last attempt at this level of surveillance. Pay attention to open source games because some day things will be so enshittified that avoiding AAA games and only playing regular indie games still won’t be enough.

Open source games never need the same gpu requirements that indie games need, just food for thought. Unity is respectably efficient but it’s no where near as efficient as for example Tux Kart. They really have 3d performance figured out on some of those open source rendering engines.

MyNamesNotRobert , (edited )

Go play any modern indie game. You’ll need at least a 1050ti for it to run well. The graphics are good, sure. Now go play something that runs on an open source 3d engine such as Ogre or irrlicht. Tux Kart is a good example of a modernized open source game and Xonotic gets mentioned a lot too (I don’t know/didn’t research what 3d engine Xonotic uses). You’ll get playable performance even if your gpu is trash and the graphics are actually pretty good. If the game you picked has potato ass shit graphics then congratulations you only need a pc that’s 20 years old or newer to run it. Gpu prices are eating gamers alive and it’s getting to the point where the common person isn’t going to be able to play modern pc games anymore if system requirements in games just keep getting higher and higher. They can’t even figure out how to supply more electricity to graphics cards without the wires melting from all the current. Wtf even is their end game?

If professional game developers don’t start making performance a priority the Linux nerds will start developing games the same way they made foss replacements for all the unfair paid software. I’m tired of buying computer parts. Video game graphics are already as good as they’re going to get (photorealism for fuck sake), they aren’t getting better but system requirements are getting higher. If this trend continues it will radicalize more people into supporting open source projects instead.

I don’t think anyone is putting bitcoin miners in their games. I just think it’s unfair that system requirements for everything seem to be getting higher, gpu prices are always getting higher but the graphics we actually get for it all aren’t even a worth it.

MyNamesNotRobert , (edited )

Is jellyfin good? Several years ago I wrote a very basic php search system and then made another php script to generate a clickable list of every video file in a directory. These 2 put together makes a better than nothing media server that I can use with confidence knowing it’s probably really secure and not sending any data to anyone on the internet.

My setups lan transfer speed is slow all the time for reasons beyond my understanding so I have to find a way to fix that first before I can think about changing my media server software anyway. My 1mb/s download/1.2mb/s upload speed on my server and 4-7mb/s for each other pc is good enough to watch some stuff but it really sucks that after overhead and performance losses, that’s all that’s left of my 400mbits/sec wifi connection. I barely even use it and don’t have any non Linux pcs on my network so it’s not like it’s slow due to actual traffic. Router and wifi card manufacturers are scamming us all. Divide any advertizered wireless network speed by 64 and that’s the maximum you can expect in my experience.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I am trying to use wifi for “everything”. I know it’s bad but there is no honest to goodness way I can get ethernet to anything except the router and modem. It’s complicated. Even a 60hz ac to ethernet wall plug transceiver has to go through enough breakers and stuff it’s not worth trying.

I forgot which exact router I have but it’s basically the highest end Cisco home router that works with dd wrt. It usually costs $300 on amazon. My internet connection is dsl but I’m not trying to get higher internet speeds, just higher lan speeds.

If my low effort network setup only yields me a maximum of 7mbytes/sec I’m fine with it I just want to be able to get more than 1 meg per second on the one system that needs it the most.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Maybe stop treating the common person like utter dogshit? Play stupid games win stupid prizes.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Instead of a regular backpack can I just bring a parachute as my carryon?

MyNamesNotRobert ,

I want to rent one of those airport mall storefronts and sell parachutes to 737 max customers.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

One zillion dollars

Do you want the government to commit genocide or do you want to government to commit genocide but also to some of the American people? Shit sucks either way but I can’t vote for someone who might send members of my family to camps.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

My cats are friends with the opossums and skunks. Fuck the coons though they’re jackasses.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

That’s bullshit I just pissed my pants and it went everywhere. It wasnt even hard to do. I’m sitting in a pool of my own piss so you sound really dumb right now.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

They are loud. Try getting some sleep when there’s an entire gangbang of locusts going EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEoooooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEoooooooEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEuuuuuuu outside from all directions all night.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

What actually are the advantages of system rc over systemd?

The police are going to be very busy. There are a lot of cows in Tennessee. They fart a lot.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Wow I didn’t realize they also allowed home cultivation. It’s good to see lawmakers at least somewhere in the world just doing good stuff for once. Some faith in humanity restored.

ELI5: The Linux xz backdoor situation

PLEASE. I keep seeing it in memes. As I understand it the latest version of the xz package (present in rolling release distros like Arch and SUSE Tumbleweed) has “a backdoor”, but I have no earthly clue what can be done by malicious folks with access to that backdoor or if I should be afraid or how to check if my distro is...

MyNamesNotRobert ,

My system is too broken for this malware to work. I use Arch btw.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Linux is too much bloat. BSD is also too much bloat. Switch to Temple OS. Actually, Temple OS is too much bloat. Uuh. Did you know that it’s possible to use gcc to compile a c or c++ program in such a way that it’s bootable? You can make your own shitty command line os in like 100kb that way and still have access to most of the easy QOL libraries and namespaces. That’s still too much fucking bloat for me though. The way I do my “computing” is I just draw on my monitor with a dry erase marker instead of plugging it into a pc.

MyNamesNotRobert , (edited )

In reality, only some Pentium 1 compatible motherboards can support enough ram for you to actually run Linux on a Pentium 1. Even if you don’t run into ram problems, you’ll run into bios related problems. I would suggest anyone trying this in 2024 to not even attempt it unless you can get a socket 7, and preferably a later socket 7 motherboard at that. The closest thing I can come up with to a reason not to drop support for 486 (the cpu before the Pentium 1) is that a 486 is a lot more possible to put on a custom pcb than a Pentium 1. Some of the more basic arm cpus aren’t even as powerful as an upper tier 486 (but better arm cpus aren’t that hard for hobbyists to get). Anyone die-hard enough to want to try to run Linux on a fully custom made computer like that would have better results using an arm or risc-V chip instead.

I am curious why they’re dropping support for 486 but not Pentium 1, pentium 2 and anything not capable of SSE1 or later. mmx isn’t even that good but I guess gcc does technically support it.

I wonder if they’re going to drop 486 support in gcc as well. It can still compile for 386. You have to seriously strip down the kernel to run Linux on anything that old. Maybe 486 users (all 2 of them) should switch to Temple OS.

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Still cheaper than prescription medication

MyNamesNotRobert ,

Some motherboards in 2024 still don’t work if you put the ram in the wrong ram slots. I ran into that problem on an am5 board recently.

Shrinkflation came for the imperial system, I’m afraid. 10 inches is the new metric foot.
