It’s turtles next guys all the way down I guess.

Right now the only thing I genuinely feel is missing that would increase my happiness, is an exercise routine.

I’ll put in a plug for cycling. You can nerd out over the latest bike gear, restore vintage bikes, or just pay the nice folks at your local bike shop to set you up and focus on the riding, it’s up to you!

You can also ride “unplugged,” or you can measure speed, cadence, heart rate, even power output (if you spend $$$)—again, something for everyone!

Good luck!

I hate meta as much as the next guy, but according to this they are the #3 organization in terms of kernel contributions, behind only Intel and Red Hat…

I got a lot of problems with you people! And now you’re gonna hear about it!

As another person commented, we can hope it’s intentional defiance.

13, without the pillow, is kinda how babies/toddlers sometimes sleep (once they can roll over).

Resistors.

Yeah, one of the issues I was having with running VPN on router is that you need a somewhat beefy router if you want to use your full bandwidth—my router maxes out at about 90Mbps with WireGuard, even though it can NAT around 1Gbps (which is our service).

I implemented two workarounds, one was to use my access point as a VPN router since it had a beefier CPU, and the other was to just use an ARM SBC with Linux to handle that task. (I ended up with the latter, as the former ended up maxing out at around 400Mbps, and introduced some additional headaches.)

I also have an SSID that doesn’t get VPN’d, though my DNS is always VPN’d.

As for accessing JellyFin, etc., I think we have somewhat different setups. My self hosted services are by default accessible without a VPN (SSID is on a VLAN with e.g. 192.168.0.0/24, servers are on 192.168.1.0/24, router routes between them). For the blanket VPN’d SSID I have a routing rule that routes over the main, not VPN, table, so local services can be accessed.

So: local traffic has a rule to route without VPN, reddit routes with a specific VPN, and general traffic routes with a different VPN.

There are lots of VLANs involved in my setup, and I’m sure it’s overly complicated and has gaping security issues, but it’s just a home network and it’s kinda fun :(

How does the 2016 slaying of Harambe affect the gorilla bdsm market, and specifically, what’s the impact on Go-spank’s value? Do I need to diversify before 2016, or do I double down?

Sorry for such a newb question.

I have this set up on my router. My wifi is blanket tunneled through a VPN. For annoying sites that restrict access like reddit, my router routes through a specific VPN server that doesn’t (yet) get blocked (I don’t post/comment/browse, but occasionally find a post that answers a question). That way it works on my whole home network, regardless of device.

Same could be done for YouTube presumably, but maybe a little more complicated (reddit seems to work with a single /32 address).

Plus, it’s fun to set up—MikroTik router, Mullvad, and an ARM SBC doing the VPN duties for me, but myriad ways to get it working for other configurations.

But once you got that XFree86 config dialed in, life was awesome.

(Ok looks like Xorg has been around for 21 years, so maybe you were running it instead.)

That works for linear motion but not for rotation—that requires acceleration (provided by gravity).

(I know, it’s a meme comment and I’m being pedantic…)

Per the Linux kernel coding style:

Tabs are 8 characters, and thus indentations are also 8 characters. There are heretic movements that try to make indentations 4 (or even 2!) characters deep, and that is akin to trying to define the value of PI to be 3.

Mac at work. Yabai+sketchybar is no i3wm replacement, but it works ok.

My .zshrc is basically the same as I use on my personal computers, and aside from a few coreutils differences it…kinda just works. I have apt aliased to brew so I can feel more at home.

Stock terminal works fine—I use xterm on Linux, so I’m used to relying on tmux for nice features anyway.

Basically, I miss the window manager, but practically speaking that’s a about it. (I obviously have xscreensaver installed!)

Slack got me through college on an ancient (even at the time) ThinkPad 600e. Good times!

I had a suite of scripts to log in to the university Linux cluster, download the kernel source and out-of-tree modules (required for the PCMCIA WiFi adapter), compile it, and rsync it back to my laptop.

nc is useful. For example: if you have a disk image downloaded on computer A but want to write it to an SD card on computer B, you can run something like

user@B: nc -l 1234 | pv > /dev/$sdcard

And

user@A: nc B.local 1234 < /path/to/image.img

(I may have syntax messed up–also don’t transfer sensitive information this way!)

Similarly, no need to store a compressed file if you’re going to uncompress it as soon as you download it—just pipe wget or curl to tar or xz or whatever.

I once burnt a CD of a Linux ISO by wgeting directly to cdrecord. It was actually kinda useful because it was on a laptop that was running out of HD space. Luckily the University Internet was fast and the CD was successfully burnt :)

A dishwasher is a total quality of life thing for us.

It sucks that some places don’t offer them. They’re not even very expensive, it’s just the kitchen real estate/installation that sucks.

A place I loved in after college had a full size unit on wheels that you hooked up to sink to use—worked fine, just took up space. They also make countertop units, but I have no idea how well those work.
