I remember that time I was a passenger on a bus that had to jump across something like this. Long story short we couldn’t slow down or stop because of the bomb. In the end everyone was alright except for the hostage that got shot in the leg.

candlewood suites, never had a bad experience.

Ohh, I hear TierMaker OS is really good.

Rotten to the core. “For profit” prisons didn’t save tax payer’s money. They lead to more people being incarcerated for longer.

I’d be curious to hear from the inmates about the differences.

Putin says Russia and North Korea will help each other if attacked, taking ties to a ‘new level’ (www.cnn.com)

Vladimir Putin said Russia and North Korea have ramped up ties to a “new level,” pledging to help each other if either nation is attacked in a “breakthrough” new partnership announced during the Russian president’s rare visit to the reclusive state....

Hot take, I doubt either of them would help the other out more than a symbolic gesture.

bulwark ,

That’s why I can’t ever trust what it says. No conviction. I’m like stick to your guns chatGPT.

bulwark ,

Damn, that’s scary. I hope they caught that guy. Most kidnappings are perpetrated by a family member.

bulwark ,

If it’s so wrong, why does it feel so right?

bulwark ,

Quick question, does Meta ever not lie about their products?

bulwark ,

Boeing is the industry in the military-industrial-complex. Commercial jetliners are an ancillary product for them.

bulwark ,

If they censored it like they did pornhub then how would all the right wing States get their propaganda?

bulwark ,

Well said, nothing to be ashamed of driving for a living.

bulwark ,

They should pour out a piss bottle for the warehouse employees who couldn’t attend.

bulwark ,

They really need to adjust their aim. They’re just grazing those kids.

I’m not a huge fan of milk, but if the FDA says that there’s a potential to get H5N1 from drinking it straight from the cow, they don’t have to tell me twice. Incidentally, I caught H1N1 on the Tokyo subway a few years back. It gave me a really bad fever for a couple of days. Would not recommend.

And now I’m curious how Winamp actually makes money.

**Edit

Just went to the website, it’s a subscription Spotify knock off now. Still doesn’t explain who are the people that actually pay for this.

bulwark ,

Well this makes me feel better about my stupid questions on stack overflow.

bulwark ,

Ooo, that’s the best. I got roped in on some email chain for a home association board in Scottsdale Arizona. I even voted a few times by email until they caught on.

bulwark ,

I wonder what direction the Linux kernel will go once he’s gone. Obviously it will continue to go on and Torvalds should get a statue somewhere if he doesn’t already have one.

Reminds me of when my breaks started failing on my 1990 Chrysler LeBaron so I got a job at a break repair place long enough to fix them then I quit.

bulwark ,

Lol, ya it was the breaks that I was too broke to afford brakes.

bulwark ,

Pads, calibers and new discs. That seemed like a lot of money for 17 year old kid. I worked there for a couple of months. I learned a few things, like working on brakes is not for me.

If your on the fence or missed it when it first came out, this game is amazing.

bulwark ,

Mmm, nothing like pulling a fresh tube egg out of the hamper when your cat’s been warming it up.

bulwark ,

Well the Comcast to Xfinity name change did make everyone forget what a shitty company Comcast was. So it could work.

bulwark ,

I’m a Canyonero man myself.

Ya the Cybertruck does looks straight out of a dystopian future. Maybe it’ll be popular when it’s safe to come out of the vaults in 200 years.

Audit says Arkansas governor's office potentially violated laws with $19,000 lectern purchase (apnews.com)

Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders ’ office potentially violated state laws on purchasing, state property and government records when it purchased a $19,000 lectern for the Republican governor that’s prompted nationwide attention, an audit requested by lawmakers said Monday....

Gameplay mechanics were also a lot better with more replayability. (lemmy.world)

Ignoring the lack of updates if the game is buggy, games back then were also more focused on quality and make gamers replay the game with unlockable features based on skills, not money. I can’t count the number of times I played Metal Gear Solid games over and over to unlock new features playing the hardest difficulty and with...

Dude I remember reading the original X-Com manual like it was a novel.

bulwark ,

I made bacon flavored vodka for Bloody Marys once. It wasn’t bad, but pretty niche.

bulwark ,

Personally, I do 2 separate UEFI boot partitions. Grub is the default which can select the windows boot partition. Then Windows can do whatever it wants to it’s own boot partition.

bulwark ,

Same, and I was like well if the shoe fits…

bulwark ,

Part of the issue for me was the audio is mixed so that you can barely hear the dialogue.

bulwark ,

Man home assistant is such a rabbit hole. You start with automating a smart light then three years later your soldering your own custom ESP32 with a total organic volume sensor to automatically turn on the bathroom fan.

Lineage OS user here, my banking app got an update a while ago that stopped trusting my finger scanner because I’m rooted. Luckily it still allows passwords or else that would be a deal breaker.

*Edit, now that I think about it I’m not even rooted, just an unlocked boot loader.

Funny enough I had a very similar situation happen to me and a group of friends in Rhodes Greece, except at the end of the meal the bill came and it was exorbitantly expensive. We realized it was a scam but we were drunk and the food was really good so we payed and left.

bulwark ,

Nice, number 3 is a sub branch of number 2 even if they don’t want to admit it. Your point still stands tho.

bulwark ,

Totally agree on Microsoft having a vested interest with being the US Gov main software provider and the spend a lot to keep it that way

bulwark OP ,

I’ve been married for a long time. I’mma try the chocolate and shut up method.

bulwark ,

I use a fork. Just kidding somethings actually taste better with chopsticks like ramen.

"Must Try" distros and DEs?

Hey folks! I’m getting a fresh laptop for the first time in about a decade (Framework 16) in a couple of months and am looking forward to doing some low-level tinkering both on the OS and hardware. I’m planning to convert into a “cyberdeck” with quick-release hinges for the screen since I usually use an HMD, built-in...

While I don’t have much experience using nixos as a hypervisor I do have a few years experience using Proxmox on top of Debian. Managing multiple VMs and backups are very straightforward with Proxmox. As for your daily driver VM, the skies the limit, well mostly your HDD space is the limit. I’ve realized that after trying a ton of different distros the only real difference is the package manager and the preinstalled software.
