Don’t forget Trump.

Of course I agree that Trump is an idiot, but he’s also a belligerent narcissist. From what I’ve read his staff didn’t know the tariffs were coming until he started imposing them on random countries via social media.

Myself, I know Trump is sicker than his handlers have let on so I’m just waiting for him to die.

Can confirm. I upgraded from a 6-bay to an 8-bay enclosure and added two more drives without issue.

What a bunch of clowns

Honestly wondering if this was done deliberately by DOJ tech folks who weren’t on board with the cover-up.

Apalrd’s Adventures did a video on setting up a nginx server to cache Debian/Ubuntu updates. As it happened I had an old, brittle apt-cache server that was taking up a massive amount of space. This guy did all of the heavy lifting and I had his solution running in like 10 minutes. I have a proxmox cluster with about two dozen VMs running Debian and Ubuntu, so this was perfect.

Any of you other Linux weenies out there should give this guy a subscribe. He’s the real deal.

That’s what I did when they banned 3rd party APIs. I remember when Reddit was great, but I have no interest in the sewer it has turned into.

116 million visits per day, minus all the bots and other garbage, is… half that number as real, actual visitors? Less than half?

Good.

As long as I can disable it idgaf

Honestly, I’m fine with that. I was in university back in the early 90’s, and the majority of folks on Usenet were either in university, or worked for large businesses or the government. The level of discourse was surprisingly high, especially compared to the sewer that is the modern internet. I dumped reddit a couple of years ago when it closed off access to 3rd-party apps, and I’m happy to leave it for the karma farmers, bots, and AI slop. I much prefer Lemmy.

I won some Tupperware at bingo in the church basement when I was nine years old.

I have a similar one as well for debian-based operating systems…

dist-upgrade() {
    sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove
}

To get this to work without a password, i dropped a file in /etc/sudoers.d that allows anyone in the sudo group to sudo apt without a password.

root@tux:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/apt

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg

# Use apt commands without a password
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: COMMANDS

Same for me using Boost on Android. It looks like Reddit only without the bots and AI slop.

Same. I used it for so long on reddit that I jumped as soon as the Lemmy version was available.

I am a network engineer and have used Linux as my primary desktop os since 2000 or so. With the bona fides out of the way, I picked up an Acer Chromebook Plus from Costco for $250 and I think it’s a great deal for the money (it’s currently on sale for $200). It has 8 gb memory, 512 gb storage, 8 cores, etc. Most important, it has a native linux environment that lets me install Linux apps, including GUI apps in case you prefer other browsers like Librewolf over Chrome.

Is it the best laptop on the planet? No. Is it the best laptop you can buy new for $200? Probably.

“DOT EXEPT”

I got my license in the early 80’s, and at that time the cheapest cars were older american beaters with utterly terrible 2 and 3-speed slushbox automatics. The alternative were Japanese cars like Honda Civics, small, reliable, manual transmission cars that got great gas mileage and were way more fun to drive. All these years later I’m still driving a manual, currently a 2021 Toyota Corolla. It’s paid for, it gets around 35 mpg, and with regular maintenance it will run until the end of time.

I know American cars have improved a lot since the malaise era but you generally can’t get them with manual transmissions, so I’ll stick with the imports for now.

I have a Yahoo email account from the mid-late 90’s…
