A real pain in the ass. It was still worth it to use for the experience, especially if you had an actual reason to use it. Other than that it was just an exercise in futility most of the time.

be alpine linux

copy bootloader from the installer to ESP usb drive

load entire OS from bootloader to RAM

lbu commit, save changes to bootloader

378mb fully loaded to RAM

Linux. Hard disk optional.

Lots of things are improved with a GUI. IMO this is one of them.

Having a no-nonsense and predictable folder structure to store documents makes sense for those who are organized. For those who aren’t, you can still use projects like this to sort data so they’re retrievable by everyone, not just those who know and understand your folder structure.

The intake emails are particularly interesting. Receive email with attachment and save it automatically. Excellent for repetitively collecting data without setting anything extra up. Just create an email alias for your intake, and distribute it. Wait for people to email shit to you.

Great idea, IMO.

There’s no particularly smart way to accomplish this in the exact way that you want. I don’t like the solution which searches your $PATH because now you’re adding latency to search your entire $PATH for every command to add this functionality. It’s a singularly better solution to tell the CLI what you want versus the CLI attempting (using logic) to figure it out.

The easiest solution here is to create your own command which calls the target application with --help;

#!/bin/bash
$1 --help | bat --language=help

Then run it;

$ script_name docker

and it will run docker --help | bat --language=help. If you use this solution a lot you can try to use bash function which you call at the end of commands if they error;

helpfunc() {
  $1 --help | bat --language=help
}

trap 'helpfunc' ERR

But now you have to run logic to truncate previous commands to only return the first word of a command from history and it becomes a real PITA…

Long story short, if you want to hack your console experience like this, you’re looking for a functional shell scripting language, like Elvish shell and not bash.

Your statement about this benefiting Americans is stupid beyond all possible belief. But your statement about DHL is accurate. Every time I get a package from DHL (maybe once every few years) it’s always delivered to the next town over with no explanation.

It sucks, because all things considered, they’re great little devices. I really like mine.

Author should look up what the word “condemn” means. They don’t seem to know. I love Bernie just as much as the next guy, but if you don’t condemn Israel, then you don’t condemn genocide. Period.

I, personally, don’t care at all for the politics of another region. I just plain don’t care. If they want to kill each other until no one is left, then that’s their own prerogative and I don’t care. But that’s not what’s happening. Israel is systematically expunging an entire group of people from the face of the earth, a group of people who don’t have the means to protect themselves. That’s genocide, and there is only one valid moral stance when it comes to that, and it’s to be against it. If you’re not against it, you’re complicit in it. Period. There’s no moral wiggle room when it comes to genocide.

The Jews of that region are totally fucking insane. In many ways far more insane than even the Germans during WWII. Unlike with Germans, Israel believes that the extermination of Palestinians is ordained by God and not just a national point of pride, and that’s why they won’t stop. It’s like they all huffed too much Glue and now they’re all just fucking crazy.

It’s interesting because they think all Palestinians are terrorists and like most developed nations, they created their own terrorists. They pushed this group of people to the breaking point to where their only outlet for resistance was terrorism. It’s such an obvious parallel with the US and the middle-east. It’s crazy.

But whatever. Bernie doesn’t score any brownie points with anyone for his stance on Israel. If anything, it hurts him significantly. It’s going to stop a lot of people supporting him than he would otherwise have.

1. Not open source doesn’t mean “non-safe”–that’s a pretty dangerous and completely incorrect characterization
2. The apps you list are literally the most non-safe services you could have possibly listed
3. That’s not what a wrapper is, I think you mean front-end
4. Using the services at all means your data isn’t protected, no matter which front-end you use the service collects your data, not the application you use

If you want to take your privacy seriously, then stop using these services. It’s the service themselves that aren’t privacy respecting, not the application in which you use to interface with them…

They absolutely do. But it’s a symptom of capitalism. They must seek higher and higher profits each year. And this is one of their ideas to seek higher profits…

If only we had a body of elected representatives that were able to do something about the situation…

They’re reputable, but focus in cloud based management solutions, so your data will 100% be taken/used if you choose to use those services.

I will be very surprised if China can’t make their own competitive AI chips soon.

That’s exactly the only thing this is going to do. They have the manufacturing to do it, it’ll just take a bit of time. So we cut them off, they slump for a little bit, but then they become non-dependent on us because they’ve developed their own chip.

And now we can’t compete at all.

lmao

Required? That’s quite a commitment. Is this a Cloudflare thing?

There are specific TLD which are required at the DNS level to be served over HTTPS. .dev is an example. The browser will physically not load a .dev domain over anything but HTTPS.

I self-host on a .dev domain. It’s extremely simple with Caddy, as its HTTPS by default. Anything else is kind of a pain in the ass sometimes.

I also know of those who’ve had great success with Lego although I’ve never personally used it.

They said “useful,” they didn’t say “relevant.”

I’m really tired of this narrative. Far be it from me to defend a billion dollar company, but I’ve been using Google since its inception. For literally as long as its been available, and the issue people have with Google is that as a company they changed the way they do search over a decade ago, and people tend to not realize it.

Google went from returning information about “restaurants” when searched, because it was relevant to the search, to assuming you likely want to know what restaurants are in your area when you search for it. Therefore it pivoted from a relevancy based search engine to a contextual based search engine. Google attempts to interpret what you mean when searching for something and provides results based on the context of that search rather than just throwing results at you simply because they’re relevant to the search terms used. And people are so fucking mad at them for trying to make search better.

Have they done a good job? Not really. Should they be literally crucified at the fucking cross for attempting to interpret results rather than just throw a bunch of shit at you and rely on the users technical ability to filter data? Not really…

Long story short, people need to take a fuckin’ chill pill when it comes at least to Google search results.

It’s evident to me that you’re either stupid, or lack the ability to read. You make up your mind on which is which.

It’s not possible for a company, no matter where they are in the world to permit users to do things which are illegal. Period. Proton cannot allow their users to use their VPN to use the torrent network to download IP. As with any company anywhere in the world. To live in some state of reality to be unable to acknowledge this is the most insane shit I’ve ever seen in my life. You literally are living outside of reality here… The sheer level of stupidity here is fucking insane to me, so I’ll try one last time to put it into perspective for you;

I’ve said “Murder is illegal, no matter where you are. You can’t just kill people” and you’ve said quite unironically “GLOCK allows their customers to kill people, they’ve made murder legal.”

Do you genuinely not see how fucking idiotic and stupid you sound?

Many countries don’t even acknowledge DMCA.

This also has nothing to do with DMCA–which is a US law and cannot be enforced in other parts of the world. As I’ve said from the very beginning, theft of IP (torrent or otherwise) is individually illegal in all but less than 5 countries on this planet… It doesn’t matter how you do it, or where you do it. It’s always going to be illegal because all of the countries from which these VPN providers originate, it’s illegal in those countries.

I’ve done my very best to explain this very simple concept to you–that you can’t break the law just because you’re behind a VPN and they don’t actively pursue you for every little infraction–but if you still don’t understand it after all this, then do us both a favor and just take a vow of silence for the rest of your pitiable life.

I mean Jesus Christ.

I guess at least someone has a little bit of backbone–though I doubt it will do any good whatsoever.

With TLS certificates being close to free, or free, it seems like a good direction to go. Sure, nobody loves dealing with certs, but short expires help in safeguarding critical infrastructure identities. Seems like an overall positive change.

Using a VPN for accessing your private, home or company network is the literal reason for which it was created and designed.

It’s in the fucking name, virtual private network. I don’t have to mention it like it’s somehow tangential or some kind of secondary and unused function of the technology. It is it’s literal primary focus.

I’m having a conversation with a literal child trying to explain to them the purpose of a network software that is self-evident in the fucking name of the software itself, and you have the balls to say that I’m insufferable? This community is fucking insufferable–filled to the brim with 12-year-olds that don’t know their ass from their elbow and assert with absolutisms without reading or understanding anything at all. It quite literally brings bile to the recesses of my mouth.
