If you really need one take white list approach. Block everything you don’t need and only open what you need. Have fun finding out what you need.

Westworld (Season 1). The other seasons are good and have great moments but season 1 is special.

I’ve watched it too many times now. I still recommend it to everyone, I just can’t watch it myself anymore. Maybe when I retire.

Me too. I enjoy the @myservername thing as it lets me have one file to maintain lots of servers (Minecraft in my case). I’m sure someone will say other init systems can do the same, but I learnt this one and I like it.

My server has been on Endeavour OS (arch with a gui installer) for at least 18 months. I run updates roughly every 10 days (basically whenever I remember). Never had a problem with it. I dare say it could go horribly wrong at some point so I keep the LTS kernel installed as well just as a fall back.

My main pc is also running Endeavour OS (dual boot with windows 11). Other than having to keep Bluetooth downgraded to support the ps5 dual sense controller, it runs great.

My only gripe is that updates often contain something that forces the kernel rebuild process and so it needs a reboot afterwards.

Every other Linux I’ve run has had some sort of “rebuild to fix” type issue at some point, or had been hard to find good support information for. Endeavour OS has been the most reliable and the easiest to fix and find support for.

I’ve had the Billie Eilish’s new album on loop recently. But before that I’d usually have some Floyd or god machine on.

Never have I ever done none of the things posted so far.

Edit; ok maybe not the animal sex ones. Who shoots a deer then fucks it?

Isn’t that used for marketing ?

I have a problem with the basic terms of political alignment. Every political view is placed on a line between far left and far right, and centrist views are in constant flux. This seems to foster devotion over unity.

We need a set of 3 dimensional terms because the 1 dimensional “left/right” terms are to simplistic. Perfectly reasonable ideas that essentially everyone would support become points of division purely because those ideas are strongly aligned to either the left or right.

I strongly believe the next evolutionary step we must take is to re-engineer politics and government. Freedom, shared resources, reasonable controls, balanced towards the needs of the public, all seem like dreams right now. Fuck knows how we get there without bloodshed, but get there we must.

Indeed. Steam on Linux does cause issues with filenames. I keep games I run on Linux on an ext4 drive. There isn’t any other choice unfortunately.

Just from an environmental standpoint anything that reduces the expansion of AI farms is desirable.

Giving LLMs a free pass on abusing copyright and fair use rules is such a double standard. YouTubers who use a snippet of music get the earnings from their video stolen by rights trolls.

For me, the dream is every AI result coming with a citation list showing what sources were used.

Zombie apocalypse. Anyone left over is either immune from the cause or smart enough to avoid it.

Just me but I like the idea of a peaceful world.

I have separate disks so I’m good on the front. The main reasoning is to make Linux my daily as it covers most stuff including my main games. The reason for windows is some video editing in davinci, music stuff which means VSTs, and some games that have anti-cheat. That windows stuff is really only about 15% of my time. I have a windows VM for office when I occasionally must have office, rather than an alternative.

This supports my thinking that ntfs3 is the way to go, or at least worth testing for a while.

Didn’t know about ntfs3 so did some reading about it. There are some reports of corruptions, they were all fixed by letting windows do a chkdsk, and making sure the windows_names parameter when mounting the disk helped prevent problems.

I’m going to live with ntfs3 for a while as see what happens.

sounds like my worries about NTFS reliability in Linux are more about historic reputation so I can probably relax on that front. The other issue with NTFS is performance in Linux is not great. FAT32 and exFat don’t like some filename characters from linux from what I read.

WinBTRFS is tempting. I have frequent backups so I might just give it a try and see what happens.

This was something I developed when I first started learning the drums. I struggled with my left hand so my instructor told me to switch everyday tasks to my left hand. Simple things like putting change in your left pocket, pouring with your left hand, etc. I never stopped doing this and now, I’m not fully ambidextrous, but ambi-useful.

Essentially we just did a copy / paste. There have been some tweaks but nothing huge so far.

Power is only part of it. Concrete production is a huge greenhouse gas source.

Why is an HOA looking after the building and public spaces? That should be either the landlord/building owner and the local council responsibility. HOA are bullshit which ever way you look at them.
