  • Given the story about OP’s exam, I read the “F-“ & “B-“ as grades and thought:

    • “F-“ as a verb. I like it.
    • “B-“ as a noun? Given the “F-“, it fits.
    • ”B-“ for OP’s ex is… generous.
  • Right, but what did you do?

  • We’re too stupid a country to be fascist. We’re a popularity contest made up almost entirely of mean girls.

  • Non-voter: “but 1 didn’t vOtE!”

    Everyone else: “Yeah you did. You’re just too stupid to understand what you voted for. Or make any effort to.”

  • NGL, it’s scary! I still haven’t put anything of consequence on the VPS. Right now, I have everything on 1 system going through swag. I’ve long been a proponent of not fixing what isn’t broken, so I might look for a way to scale my current setup to more than the one system.

    I host a couple of small services for more than just me, but I have no plans to provide any cloud services to anyone else but my wife (if she wants).

    Thanks for the story, though. Sorry you went through that. I’ve been lucky so far. I’m hoping things stay that way, but obviously trying to plan for when they don’t!

  • That N Korea story was wild!

  • Hadn’t heard of voidauth. Will check it out. Thanks!

  • I think we are at the point where Americans just need to make this their profile pic on all their social media accounts.

  • Fuck him too.

  • I mean, I know I did.

  • Careful, I had a post like this locked almost a month ago.

    FWIW, I went with purelymail, and it’s been pretty good. Basic, but solid.

  • I am shocked. Shocked, I say. Shocked.

  • One of these days they’ll realize that putting restrictions on the weapons given to Ukraine is playing into Putins hands. They’re so fearful of “escalation” when Putin’s already escalated.

    Putin knows opening up a second front by attacking another former SSR would force the rest of the world to acknowledge what they already know - that he has no interest in any peace he hasn’t solely dictated - and actually respond to the obvious threat. So, he’ll play the war of attrition against Ukraine, Trump will fellate him, Europe will do little, he’ll rebuild his army and go after the next former SSR. Rinse, repeat. Modern leaders have no stomach for dealing with a bully like Putin. Or even a stupid Billy like Trump.

  • Reminder that Citizens United was 2010. Just before the bump in the graph. Hard to argue it’s had any effect! /s

  • I need to go back to Electric Dreams. I’m not sure I finished it, but I remember liking it. Thanks for reminding me!

  • Well, not really po-tay-toh/po-tah-toh. They’re 2 different utilities that do 2 different things. If you ask the wrong question, you’re not going to get the answer you’re looking for.

    What you’re asking about is an antivirus. It’s been awhile since I messed with this on my Linux systems, but last I looked, ClamAV was most commonly recommended. You can probably search for “Linux antivirus” and find some recommendations.

    Generally speaking, the earlier recommendations to stick with official repos is excellent. When you venture outside of that, you increase your administrative overhead because those manually installed apps won’t stay patched with a simple “apt upgrade.” That said, a well written cron job could keep them up to date for you.

    As for where to install things, it’s personal preference. I prefer using my home directory. If that doesn’t work, my fallback in /usr/local, which is either its own partition or symlinked to the /home partition). I mention the partitions because having separate /home and possibly /usr/local makes it easy for these customizations you install to survive a reinstall. Backups will also help with this.

    You have to ask yourself what this system will be used for. If it’s a daily driver that you want to “just work” I would stick to official repos, and minimize customizations. Windows makes a lot of choices for you. Linux expects you to know what you want to do.

  • What about KDE Fedora?

  • I actually liked the series better than the book. And I generally like PKD.

  • Just plain delusions. All kinds. Basically her brand.
