I love that I open the link, get hit with a 404 error, then wait, no, the website's name is 404 media, then read just enough to learn what I already knew from the Lemmy post before I get hit with a paywall... So it might as well have been a 404 error lol

Did you then tell them "I use arch btw" and then get a confused question about architecture?

I am a historian, who even in this scenario would be one of the least useful... But I work on history of aviation, so maybe that could work out somehow lol

This podcast episode discusses this very question at length, along with a history of Pantone's pallette

This is really good, I just realized I read it a while back, and it prompted me and and a technically competent friend to at the very least be each other's bitwarden "killswitch" users - forget what it's called, the person that can take over your vault if you are dead/disappear, it is configurable in different ways, like if they request access and you don't respond by X days, they get it. We don't have the same skill set, but are both competent enough to figure it out or find someone that can access everything needed if given all the credentials stored there. I should do more and document, but this is a first good step if shit hits the fan

One neat thing about swapping the motherboard is that you can easily just 3d print a case for it and use it as a server! I saw a post on the homelab community where FW was selling older model MBs for cheap, and people snapped them up for that. Someone sells a slim case for it, but they also have a printable model for it online

Just out of sheer curiosity, do you know what might have gotten it added in the first place? Is it a substring of some obscure slur? Substring of some spam domain or something?

Anyway, thanks for the fix

Those are awesome, and so is all this architecture around this concept. I have stood under one in the summer, and as an always sweaty and always hot person, I actually felt a little chilly

I hate that, as someone who was truly on top of this 4 years ago and submitting paperwork for public service forgiveness and all, I have no fucking clue as to what is happening now or what's next. So, as someone who definitely owes money on that, and had a kid right before the pandemic hit, and is desperately adrift keeping shit together, I really hope someone has a great ELI5 coming on this thread lol

Thanks for catching that. Winners write history or something like that, I write as a drunk and lazy historian

Awesome Can't wait to have all the pieces in place for explicit sync. It will require the Nvidia 555 driver, right?

Yeah, I assumed most of the world was at least 18. I was surprised when I moved to the US at 15 and could get a learner's permit and drive with an adult, and drive by myself at 16.

You were dealing with some 3D chess problem there, especially with kids on both ends... I am a dad, and I don't even know how I would have handled that on my own even without my kid around. I know it sucks, but you can't beat yourself too much on this one

Having your partner around sure helps. We had a crazy racist Karen situation once in a parade in our neighborhood, where this woman questioned whether we belonged in that particular spot since she had been "reserving" it by putting her stuff all over the place for hours. She heard my wife's accent and started berating her about "where's she from?" (We are both immigrants but she's more obvious in terms of accent). I had our kid on my shoulders, so I just made a calmly toned comment of "we live on this exact street" and directed my kid's attention away from the racism and towards the fun parade, while my wife proceeded to call her shit out. The woman had two kids there and didn't give a fuck, proceeded to go on racist rant against my wife (who very well stood her ground) while her own kids were crying their hearts out in fear over the confrontation. End result was all the adults had a shitty time, but at least all my kid remembers is a cool parade....

And for anyone from New Orleans feeling like this sounds familiar, yeah, it was Mardi Gras, and some fancy lady from the Garden District thought we should have not had the audacity to try to get too close to St Charles for our kid to see the Muses parade

Desktop: HAL9000

laptop: HALjr

Phone: HALnano

Then HALserver, HALprinter (octoprint), HALhome (home assistant) and so on... Big fan of Stanley Kubrick haha

Tried to get the hal9.ooo domain name but it was taken...

Edit: I use Dave as the username, so that in the terminal it is dave@hal9000, which just seems appropriate
