I hate what the hacker ethos of “routing around bad legislation” has become “routing around all legislation.”

A lot of self esteem really does just come down to being willing to build yourself up and see the best in yourself

you know you could also just let people use what works for them

Hastings also was asked about Netflix’s decision to remove an episode of “Patriot Act With Hasan Minhaj” in Saudi Arabia after the government threatened the company over a segment in which the comedian criticized Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (aka MBS) and the regime’s role in the murder of dissident journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

“We’re not in the news business,” Hastings said. “We’re not trying to do ‘truth to power.’ We’re trying to entertain… We don’t feel bad about [pulling the ‘Patriot Act’ episode in Saudi Arabia] at all.”

it means the CLI has about 70% of the same stuff that Linux has in its CLI

i personally find it very useful as it makes scripting for macos easier since its so much closer to bash

first time in my life I was relieved to see a site down for maintenance

I didn’t mean to be evil, what’s wrong with the sweet n sour??? I mean I understand what’s wrong with mayo and ranch but I’m still a white people so you know, it’s part of muh culture.

“When people think you’re dying, they really, really listen to you,”

My main takeaway is always going to be that the people who are actually suffering are the only ones really willing to listen to others who are suffering. He thinks this, but he’s proof of otherwise, he isn’t really listening to any of them.

Ask me how I know after three years of cancer proving to me people could give fuck all about listening. Sorry, just grinds my gears, because the people “really, really listening to you” are the people who are fucking dying.

still certified Unix, tho.

I wouldn’t buy that for a dollar!

Yep, my Firefox mobile hasn’t updated yet either, gonna see if there’s an update I can grab.

That just dawned on me.

Oh of course, I’m not speaking about the average jabroni’s interpretation. Pretty sure Chuck Palahniuk didn’t intend Tyler to be read as a hero. Yet, here we are.

…while management did fuck all.

They even tap Peter for management material when he stops giving a shit, like it’s an expectation that you stop caring about things to be in charge.

I thought the whole point of Fight Club was the narrator realizing he was a terrible person, with or without Tyler.

I mean the film starts with him exploiting dying people so they will listen to him. Not recognizing that the only people open to listen are those dying, and he’s exploiting their openness to lie to them and get the “crying” he needs. He doesn’t give one flying fuck about what is happening to any of those dying people, he only barely stands up for Bob.

Sometimes, though, they make more sense than they used to.

When I originally saw the Matrix in theaters, I fucking hated Cypher and his willingness to exchange the comforts of the Matrix over reality.

Now… Fuck, give me that steak, Agent Smith. I’m with Cypher, I’m not wasting my life saving all these jagoffs who would rather live in the fucking Matrix anyway. Can’t beat em, join em.

It doesn’t even need to be enterprise, honestly.

I run a rather significant local network with off the shelf consumer stuff and OpenWrt.

Ah yes I’m sure the author intended for it to be clear that she’s just being an asshole and the guy definitely wasn’t listening to music. She’s not the main character of the strip or anything. Jesus christ. It’s a comic strip, it’s not that serious, grow up.

A lot of managed switches, a lot of ethernet cable, maybe some point-to-point WiFi connections for longer distances, and local DNS and DHCP servers that have failovers for redundancy. You technically don’t need a router because routers are for connecting different networks, and if it’s not connected to the internet, as long as you have local DHCP and DNS, you’re kind of golden for local services. You can even have internal TLS for local security. I do that with Caddy, it’s dead simple, and the certificates are locally generated for a 10 year period. I’m connected to the internet but I don’t expose any of these services to the internet, just my local network.

With a little more work, you could set up a VoIP server too so people could connect their phones that don’t have cellular service and use a VoIP app to be able to call anyone in the neighborhood by their VoIP number.
