When you are allowed into the vicinity of this kind of equipment, you should be able to identify matching shapes without circles in the first place…

Maybe a theatre is interested in it as requisite for a play.

Same reason you wear your socks the whole day but once you remove them they become eww. Human brain is weird in that regard. Probably has evolutionary reasons but from an entirely rational POV it’s weird.

But who determines its lifespan?

The RTC battery, obviously.

Why is my system broken? :O

You wouldn’t enjoy regular sand either. It’s coarse and rough and gets everywhere.

You have probably heard it a lot already, but use an ad blocker. I can recommend Firefox + ublock Origin, even on Mobile

In general, I try to stick to ThinkPads. They come with a bit of a price, but well worth in my experience.

It’s a bit dated already, but still going strong for my workload: theT530

Thanks to Spider-Man: Far from home, I knew of the glass floor decks :D

(And it was just plausible enough to be not ruled out as “the glass is just in the movie so it can shatter”)

Not an answer, but I have to say you have a way with words.

Weak copy pasta, would not copy again, 3/10, maybe 4/10 with rice.

If I put a gallon of 10% cider vinegar in a shallow pan and let 1/2 gallon evaporate, will that make it double its strength?

I have plant trays I use in the spring and they get lime deposits from my water. I was looking at cleaning vinegar at lowes last night and it was $27+ a gallon. Regular vinegar is about $4 a gallon. The cleaning vinegar is only around 25%.

dbx12 ,

Citric acid is also a pretty solid choice to remove lime deposits. It comes in a small bag and has a texture like really coarse salt. I prefer it over vinegar since it has basically no after taste. Not that would matter in your case.

dbx12 ,

Unused variable is an error which fails to compile.

dbx12 ,

I for my part prefer it that way. Makes sure the code stays clean and nobody can just silence the warnings and be done with it. Because why would you accept useless variables that clutter the code in production builds? Imagine coming back after some time and try to understand the code again. At least you have the guarantee the variable is used somehow and not just “hmm, what does this do? … ah, it’s unused”

dbx12 ,

Oh, that makes warnings errors and does not mean “ignore errors”. I’m not too familiar with compiler flags. You could do some mental gymnastics to argue that the unused variable causes the compiler to exit and thus the code is not functioning and thus the unused variable is not a warning but an error :^)

a match is never 100%

But but but, the CSI series catches murders with 100% matches! (Ok, they also hack in VBA)

Yeah, my brain pulled a fuck you on me. I tried to read something in a dream (as technique to attempt lucid dreaming). My brain constructed the dream to have that text written in non-Latin alphabet.

Is it immoral, unethical, or illegal to use movie prop money for collection plates, tip jars, beggars, and strip clubs?

If I’m paying for my goods and services with actual money, but using prop money for tips, is that bad? In my understanding, tips are given of one’s own free will and would be considered a gift to the recipient, the same as if I gave flowers or cookies as a tip. I’ve also seen fake money passed off by religious people that...

You’re just returning their property ^^

dbx12 ,

But if they are not citizen of any nation, wouldn’t that make them illegal immigrants in any country?

dbx12 ,

But then the country you are in needs to recognize the country you’re a diplomat of and want those diplomats in their country. Diplomatic status is not a “I can go where I please” status. But it’s that way to sovereign citizens, I guess.

Is it actually dangerous to run Firefox as root?

I have a few Linux servers at home that I regularly remote into in order to manage, usually logged into KDE Plasma as root. Usually they just have several command line windows and a file manager open (I personally just find it more convenient to use the command line from a remote desktop instead of directly SSH-ing into the...

dbx12 ,

Without any judgement: why are your servers running X11? Just because you dislike SSH’ing to them?

dbx12 ,

Hmm, I see. The perfectionist in me would want to shed that processor load though ^^

And yes, word is the word.

It seems like you are one of the twelve Americans who is unaware that the bird is the word.

The hell happened to the feet in the second panel?

The stalebot is most times useless. The only scenario where I can see use of it is a maintainer waiting for the reporter to add information. But closing issues because no maintainer checked on them? That’s garbage and discourages bug reports.

absolute galaxy brain moment

I made it to Linux! What is your must-have FOSS or Free Software for linux?

Thank you so much, comrades! I am feeling pretty comfortable with linux mint, and now would like some suggestions for some absolutely necessary FOSS or free license software for the OS. So far I have the standard, Firefox, ThunderBird, LibreOffice, yada yada. Thank you again to everyone on the linux comm! sankara-salute

You forgot the package hollywood.

If you have the iso image, you can write it with the command dd to your stick / sdcard

I like how it is cheaper to buy it upfront. Like they can load an extra bag or two full of internet if they know you need it.

Summary of some Minecraft game cheat commands

For those who do not have much experience and skills in playing Minecraft, it is also very normal for them to help themselves by using some cheat codes and cheat commands. The following article will guide you through some Minecraft game cheat commands for convenience during the initial gameplay. Minecraft is one of the few games...

dbx12 ,

What is this? Did you ask chatgpt to write an essay about Minecraft?

dbx12 ,

Do we have a Beetlejuicing community already?

dbx12 ,

I would recommend key based authentication for SSH connections. For the normal connection, the key pair is enough, if you want admin (root) access, you would use the command sudo which in turn requires a password. For creating a default admin account: Linux does this for you, it’s called root. You should create a personal user to work with in daily business and add it to the sudoers group (permits using the sudo command)

dbx12 ,

If all of those servers are yours (which they likely are, since you get ssh access), you can use one key for all. Using different keys would make one compromised key less problematic. But if someone was able to copy one file of your system, they can copy multiple files.

That resolves keeping track of things as well 😄

Gardening with Maurice was nice. Actually all the shows on WCTR.

That’s the garbage in part of the GIGO process.

I finally made a full backup of my system. I guess be happy about that.

I’m a sucker for jetbrains Mono when I need a monospaced font. It just looks nice to me.

Hey Linux devs - Build a GUI or gtfo

Not everything actually requires a GUI, obviously. But anything that requires configuration, especially for controlling a hardware device, should have a fully functional GUI. I know Linux is all about being in control, and users should not be afraid to use the command line, but if you have to learn another bespoke command syntax...

dbx12 ,

I’m fine with config files, as long as they are where you expect them (~/.config/tool or ~/.tool). What I dislike is yet another funny config syntax because the dev couldn’t settle on an established standard. Command line syntax is ok, if you give me sensible completions.

dbx12 ,

If the package comes from the repo, you can uninstall it by the same name you used to install it. If it came from a .deb file (in case of debian), you can find out how the package calls itself and use that name to uninstall. Usually the package name is quite identical to the file name. And dpkg -L shows you which files came from the package and where they were installed.

Recommendations for a Linux system backup tool

I am currently using EndeavourOS for my laptop. Is there a backup solution that is easy to use, and can be run from the EndeavourOS install media without internet? (RSync is included, but no other backup tools are included, to my knowledge.) I don’t want to use another ISO due to space constraints on my USB.

dbx12 ,

Not a recommendation per se, but you can use any backup software as long as you can edit your live iso. For example puting the restic binary into /opt

Why would I want to sync accounts across instances? Isn’t my content automatically federated?

dbx12 ,

I guess that’s the life of an ad owner. Just like the dude handing out free samples in the mall. Most of the people don’t buy the sampled product and effectively waste the dude’s money (out his employer’s money).

I use an adblocker, so you’re safe from me clicking your links :P

dbx12 ,

I’m curious how well these things keep the smell under control. Especially since cats have a better sense of smell than humans. For us it maybe clean but for them?
