WTF I love big brother now

Have you read Unix: A History and a Memoir? I only started it, but the first chapter or two is just Kernighan talking about Bell Labs.

Caveat emptor

If you had a question about C, you would just consult K&R, and I don’t mean the book

Yea I thought about having ‘for better for worse’ in the post, but I lived in NJ so I’ll let them have a little glory for once

It’s actually really easy when you get to make everything up as you go along. Like the transistor, and C, and Unix. That place was something else. The modern world was born in NJ

Yea Lemmy is a little too full featured and network heavy to be really usable on a slow network like i2p

It’s smart. Not every company has a clueless rich guy to hand all the money to

Gnome Devs: No, you are wrong

The current leadership in the US is, uh, less than equipped to handle day to day functions, let alone a real crisis. It will be quite bad.

Yea, the best thing for bubbles is to pop early and often before they start snowballing. These companies have negative net revenue and are burning billions. The tech is neat, but I don’t think text generators are going to completely revolutionize industries the way the industry is presenting them. NVIDIA giving OpenAI money to give to Oracle to give back to NVIDIA just screams house of cards.

Not really. My home network doesn’t have any port forwarding so nothing is exposed. I have a VPS, but nothing really important is on there, and I pretty much exclusively use it from home. Anyway all those failed logins were just trying defaults like user admin password admin. If you have a strong password or ssh key it really doesn’t matter, but I just hated knowing people were trying to get in, even if it was just half-assed attempts to find a unsecured machine.

If I really needed to use IP4 to get in, I could always just log onto Vultr’s web console and enable IP4 again.

If you can disable IPv4 on sshd then it really isn’t an issue. I know, security through obscurity isn’t robust, but when I had sshd with IPv4 enabled, I was getting around 6 - 10 failed login attempts a minute. People iterate through all the IPv4 addresses since there are only 4,294,967,296 possible addresses. There are 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 possible IPv6 addresses, so the chance of someone randomly stumbling upon your address is fucking astronomically tiny. When I disabled IPv4 a couple years ago I’ve had exactly zero failed logins that weren’t me being a sloppy typist.

They probably just hinted. These companies are eager to please Trump. Remember the trophy Tim Apple gave Trump? Capitalists love fascism.

Until it starts pulling data from nonexistent worksheets

His origin story is too on the nose for a movie. Like a rich, gay, foreigner who grew up on an Apartheid uranium mine?!

I think that just like Elon with Twitter, the value is not in revenue but controlling the narrative.

Yea a lot of people didn’t like the new bland logo, but conservatives were going on about how it’s an attack on their culture and heritage. To go that far about a truck stop restaurant was not an organic happening. This is why it doesn’t matter that Charlie Kirk was shot. If it wasn’t that, the outrage machine would have turned to something else.
