The ssh key to access the private git repo is on the same yubikey as the decryption key (they are technically different GPG slots but I don’t need to care about that, just plug the key in, type in the pin, and it all works automagically)
The process then still is: check out that Git repository, except there’s another step: copy over your private key so that you can decrypt your secrets.
I store my secrets in a separate private git repo and automatically decrypt them with my hardware key (https://github.com/balsoft/nixos-config/blob/master/modules/secrets.nix) so for me it’s literally just plug in my yubikey and nixos-install github:balsoft/nixos-config#hostname
Oh yeah, AI in its current form can fuck right off.
Nah, it’s colonial settlers living in a place where they shouldn’t, and then capitalists plastering everything with heat-absorbing asphalt because it’s more profitable to force people into car-centric hellholes. If you are unfortunate enough to live in a place like that, prepare a backup power source, because it’s not feasible to build a power grid which never has blackouts.
Of course, it would be nice to have a government that would provide everyone in such regions with backup electricity sources, but that ain’t happening with capitalists in power, and recommending that grandma should lead a communist uprising is not that helpful
you’re going to have to either die when power shuts down or drop everything and move.
That’s not my opinion, that’s a sad fact of life. If you can’t move, get a backup electricity supply. Blackouts happen.
My point is that way more humans can survive a couple weeks without AC than a couple weeks without water or food.
The human species has lived through an era when the average temperature on Earth was about the same as it is now. It’s true that (very) soon it won’t be the case (it looks like the climate is truly fucked and we’ll get the hottest year since humans evolved in a decade or so, and then shoot right past that and into real hell on earth territory).
People settled there because A/C became available
Yeah, but like, don’t. Or at least cover your house with solar. If you need a literal life support system and are dependent on a centralized power grid for that with no backup, you will die.
You can’t just shut off the A/C and cackle while the elderly and infirm die of heat stroke.
I agree that in places like that AC should be among the critical systems which are the last to shut down, but it’s also important to note that the vast majority of inhabited places on earth are not like that (yet).
Yeah, I also wanted to mention that AC in critical workplaces, schools and kindergartens should also be given priority over residential AC, but the comment was already too long.
The very last electric appliances to be turned off should be residential AC units
I don’t think a mostly for-comfort utility should be the last to shut down. There is a lot of significantly more important shit, like hospitals, water treatment plants and pumping stations, coolers and freezers which are storing food, public transit, etc.
After all, our species has survived without AC for hundreds of thousands of years, but surviving without running water or safe food is much more difficult.
Even some datacenters can be more important, e.g. those predicting the weather or handling communications.
And if AC is necessary for survival in a place, then maybe we shouldn’t fuckin’ settle there (or at least shouldn’t cover the entire place with asphalt and concrete). What happens during a real blackout? Does everyone just die?
I think NVK is only for newer cards though, right?
And with no real reason
The real reason is planned obsolescence. Your old GPU working is bad for NVidia because it means you’re not buying a new one from them.
This quarrel is the usual political theater intended to distract from all the awful shit happening in the background (dismantling the remains of the welfare state and safety nets, impending environmental & climate disasters, and the ol’ favorite - insane wealth redistribution upwards).
However this time, with an actual fascist in power, all the prop guns on stage are actually real and I wouldn’t be surprised if Elon is deported or even “found dead”. He fucked around and got a fascist elected, I hope he finds out. Either way, this is not something to pay any attention to.
How is nouveau doing for those older cards these days? Are they at least still usable as a display adapter?
If it’s such an obstacle for social life, I’d just give in and make an account. Given the alternative is “exchanging phone numbers” (with the intent to text or call, presumably) I’d say Instagram is no worse privacy-wise - both offer absolutely no privacy protection. If a phone number is required to register (I don’t know if it is), I’d get a bootleg sim specifically for it. I would treat all communications on any proprietary platform (even 1-on-1) as though they are happening in public (Twitter-style). Avoid using apps if at all possible as they have more access to your device. If that’s not possible, at least do not give those apps any permissions, however hard they are trying to eek them out of you. Do not use it for anything but chatting with your acquaintances - merely looking at your feed, even without any explicit interactions like opening a post, gives Meta a lot of data about you.
If the connection moves on from “acquaintance” to “friendship”, perhaps try pushing them towards a better platform - I recommend Matrix as it is federated (unlike Signal), and has pretty nice clients/UX nowadays (unlike Tox and XMPP), and is e2e-encrypted (unlike almost everything else).
I wonder if there are any studies about general happiness and mental well-being of Parisians before and after - I’d wager it’s better now.
Don’t y’all wave flags or something like that not to be murdered by a car?
Correction: to be murdered by a car anyways, but at least with a flag in hands
Randall hasn’t bothered to name any of them so the community has given them unofficial nicknames.
Megan is actually named in multiple comics though, so is Danish (Black Hat’s girlfrenemy) (actually that was picked semi-arbitrarily by the community). Cueballs also have different names occasionally but they’re all drawn the same.
And actually I do believe that certain non-named characters are the same comic-to-comic. Black hat and Beret guy almost certainly are.
Yes, as I’ve said, this is just me getting old rather than any issue with the joke format :)
This is probably because “This app depends entirely on a certain instance of a network service” (cdn.comaps.app), and you have that hidden in your settings. So basically it has the download URL for maps hard-coded.
