Just a geek, finding my way in the fediverse.

  • I need a savoury, summery drink as an alternative to beer

    Jump

  • Not sure about availability or price in AU, but I like "hoplark" non alcoholic beer. Their IPAs are awesome.

  • what do you use to add weight?

    Jump

  • You're creating a time capsule that someone will later discover and say "o shit, remember pennies?"

  • Elon Musk’s Grok Goes Haywire, Boasts About Billionaire’s Pee-Drinking Skills and ‘Blowjob Prowess’

    Jump

  • Grok here: computers are fine, humans were a mistake

  • First snake to be covered in vegan butter?!?

    Jump

  • They got really REALLY good at a particular niche. They suck at everything else.

    I say this as a loving python parent.

    Jump

  • This tracks with my experience. "get really high... Fall off"

    Lil goobers.

  • Years later, Arkane’s Dishonored is still a modern stealth classic

    Jump

  • First 30 seconds of every mission : "I'm going to be soooo sneaky"

    The rest of the mission: "Guess I have to kill everybody now"

  • Happy Birthday, Cara Gee! --> The Expanse: Drummer Speech

    Jump

  • I've been working through the books (just finished Babylon's Ashes) and I was astounded at how small Drummer's role was. In the show her character covers Bull, Pa, and probably others I've forgotten by now.

  • What do you want to be when you grow up? USA vs UK vs China

    Jump

  • Not an engineer but I took calculus 1, 2, 3, discrete math, linear algebra, statics, dynamics, and probably others I'm forgetting.

    Since school, I needed one trig function for calculating distance between lat/long coordinates that I looked up on Wikipedia and plugged in to a program.

    ... Statics was fucking cool though.

  • Americans with six-figure incomes are in 'survival mode'

    Jump

  • I woke up early today so I snuck out of bed quietly and decided to read lemmy on my phone so I don't wake up the spouse... And then this comment made me snort.

    Well played, well played.

  • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 is about to change massively, gets enormous backlash - Neowin

    Jump

  • I still type ifconfig by habit. Some kid the other day told me that you can judge a person's age and Linux experience by whether they expect ifconfig and netstat vs ip and ss.

    ... I'm just glad they kept the parameters the same in ss

  • The Linux Kernel Looks To "Bite The Bullet" In Enabling Microsoft C Extensions

    Jump

  • behavior that doesn’t align with the C standard ... but was introduced by MS

    Yep, that tracks. I'm still pissed off about microsoft's non-standard implementation of HTTP 1.1 from however long ago it was that I had to conditionally work around it on the server side. They believe standards don't apply to them and it seems like they're right.

  • My friend got hacked and of course microsoft will not even try to help

    Jump

  • They will, however, ask you for the account info/receipt to recover it. When you reply, a different help desk person will reply asking for that info you just sent. When you reply, a different help desk person will reply asking for that info you just sent. When you reply, a different help desk person will reply asking for that info you just sent.

    ... I got to five replies (in a chain, with history and all requested info attached) before I gave up. Just another reason I hate microsoft

  • Not stupid if it works

    Jump

  • I'm with you...

    Cut the lock shackle, remove lock from brake and ring... Nothing happens??

    Or if you're paranoid, cut the grenade ring first, then cut the lock.

  • What went wrong with Pizza Hut?

    Jump

  • It's a "deal" they always have, if you find it on their site, but any large 2 topping pizza for $9 doesn't seem bad... As many as you want.

  • [DONE] LUKS decrypt at boot over SSH!

    Jump

  • I am not a smart person and it wasn't the right tool for my job so I didn't research it further once that was established. Maybe if somebody told me one more time it'd stick.

    EDIT : In case anyone is curious : https://github.com/latchset/clevis

  • [DONE] LUKS decrypt at boot over SSH!

    Jump

  • I hadn't heard of Dropbear until I started researching this... cool project. That seems to be the ticket if you're wanting manual intervention to unlock the disk. If you want automatic unlock via another server on the network, sounds like Clevis may be the thing.

  • The average price paid for a new car last month topped $50,000 for the first time ever

    Jump

  • I occasionally drive past a place that is some type of "wealth boot camp". I guess you give them money and they tell you how to make money?

    Point is, every time I pass it there are multiple identical model Mercedes parked out front and all I can think is "I don't think you're doing this right"

  • AWS is having a bad day

    Jump

  • One of our client support people told an angry client to open a Jira with urgent priority and we'd get right on it.

    ... the client support person knew full well that Jira was down too : D

    At least, I think they knew. Either way, not shit we could do about it for that particular region until AWS fixed things.

  • Printers leave a watermark on each page indicating the exact printer that it came from. Are there any other examples of these privacy violations that aren't common knowledge?
