  • Actually there were seven kings prior to the establishment of the republic, at which point they expelled the rulers... a reg-ex if you will.

  • Right, loans and stock market shenanigans are different animals. I assumed you were talking about the former given the context of "how did OpenAI find the money to pay AMD $78bn".

    In retrospect, I suppose options could have played a factor... but then again this level of ratfuckery is well beyond my understanding, so you could tell me Santa gave them the money and it'd make just as much sense.

  • Your collateral is now useless, give me more collateral or pay me back

    I'm no economist, but I'm pretty sure that's not how loan contracts work. The lender is taking a risk and is agreeing to accept the offered collateral as insurance against the debt. They can't just decide they don't like the collateral any more and unilaterally change the terms.

    That'd be like if you took out a mortgage to buy a $300K house for a $250K sale price, and then a flood comes through and damages the property to the point that it's only worth $200K, and the bank came knocking and said "pay it back or at least fork over another $100K so we feel comfy again."

  • You didn't break him, the Tylenol and circumcisions did! It's all in the article. Try to keep up, bud.

  • Also known as "if you ain't storing cents, you ain't making sense."

  • I am a sysadmin with over 30 years of experience managing servers and networks for businesses of all sizes as well as for myself, friends, and family.

    The FUTO guide is extremely detailed, accurate, and accessible. It does not always follow best practices, and it's not a comprehensive guide to all of the possibilities for self-hosting. It's not trying to be. It is a guide for someone with no technical expertise (but with basic technical ability) to degoogle/deapple themselves at a reasonable level of cost and effort.

    You do not have to do everything in the list, you can pick and choose the parts you're interested in. That said, I would recommend reading through the whole article as you have time, because it does a very good job of explaining the concepts involved in building a self-hosted setup, and understanding how everything works is the biggest step toward being able to effectively troubleshoot problems when they inevitably crop up.

    If you have specific questions about things that aren't answered in the guide or via a quick web search, post them here.

  • VScode is certainly a heck of a lot easier to get LSPs working than e.g. vim.

    If someone made it actually easy to set up neovim with lsp support that works as well as with vscode, there'd be no reason to give Microsoft any attention at all

  • No, no, John Ennis was the guy who wrote the play Boys Boys Boys after working as a roadie for Mötley Crüe. You're thinking of Jed Ennis, who published the first blog called The Boys back in 1848 before the web even existed.

  • Sleep mode is a thing. My PC gulps down a massive 1.8W when napping.

  • Imagine having to run three separate third-party applications just to stop your OS vendor from stealing your information, selling your data to third parties, removing control of your machine, and otherwise just pissing you off.

  • Found the nvidia user 😅

  • Or ctrl+r and start typing what you're searching for, and repeat ctrl+r to find the next newest match.

    For example, [C-r] ssh [C-r] [C-r] will auto fill the 3rd most recent ssh command you've run. Try it, your life will be filled with rainbows and unicorns.

  • I had the same problem trying to use a Windows 11 laptop after running linux at home for years. Turns out the "looking stuff up" part is how you learn how to use it better.

  • I've been using nala for a long time anyway

    Does Simba know about this?

  • I just click the "Install Updates" notification when it pops up.

  • I always found this argument funny because how would you use pronouns for someone whose gender you do not know? They. It's they. E.g. you are given the sentence: Jordan went to the store to buy apples. And you want to ask a followup question regarding how many, you reply: How many apples did they buy?

    And that's not how English was taught to me or 99℅ of the population (including English as a second or third language) 20+ years ago. Singular they was only used for situations where the gender (read as superficially visible sex) was factually unknown. You see a forgotten umbrella and never saw who forgot it: "Somebody forgot their umbrella." As soon as you only got a glimpse on the person forgetting it you would make a guess about he/she.

    You're contradicting yourself here. You're saying you were taught to use singular they when gender is unknown, yet claim that "How may apples did they buy" is wrong based on how you were taught English.

    Does it matter whether gender is unknown or just unresolved? Not really, singular they is clearly intended to be a gender neutral pronoun and works in any situation where gender is ambiguous. It's not wrong for people to adopt it as a pronoun to refer to themselves any more than it is for a trans man to adopt "he/his" or a trans woman to adopt "she/hers."

    At best your refusal to use it makes you sound like one of those people who gets offended at the word "literally" gaining a colloquial meaning that differs from its original definition. At worst, it presents as transphobia to claim "language purity" as the reason to be so adamantly against something that the trans community has largely adopted.

  • Thank you for the detailed write up. I'm going to give this a shot and see if I can save myself some space.

  • lmao gottem
