I take my shitposts very seriously.

  • TORVALDS is a powerful Great Prince of Hell who has 618 legions of demons under his command. He gives true answers of all things past, present, and yet to come; he reveals the secrets and source of the kernel if asked; and he grants to the conjurer power and authority over devices and binds them to the conjurer's will.

  • His name was Ozymandias, King of Kings.

  • I guess I forgot to point out (six months ago, well done) that these are free loaners provided by the university. Usually high-end, current-generation hardware. They can be smart on their own devices, that's neither my concern nor my responsibility, but these are not theirs to disembowel.

  • I'd love to know what an actual moderator would think if you imposed your idea on them.

  • report bad faith posts

    You're supposed to report posts that break instance or community rules, not whatever you happen to consider to be "bad faith". You can't moderate based on intent, only actions, otherwise you're asking for a thought police where only the popular opinion is permitted to exist.

    Besides, even if your instance has disabled downvotes, other instances can still see them.

  • Depending on your sorting method, downvoted posts will be featured less favorably in list views. You will immediately know that a heavily downvoted post is not worth your attention. Some clients might let you filter displayed posts based on vote counts or up/down ratio.

  • Downvote and move on. Mute accounts and communities you don't want to see. Curate your own feed. Simple as.

  • The issue was ARP-related after all. Since all computers were cloned from the same image, the VMs ended up having the same MAC address, which caused collisions.

  • I think you need four distinct MAC addresses for this setup, are they all different?

    We have a winner!

    The classroom computers were mass-deployed using Clonezilla, from a disk image that already had the VM pre-configured. As a result, every VM had the same MAC address. Bridged networking put both hosts and both VMs in the same broadcast domain, which caused collisions in the ARP tables. I randomized the MAC address of one VM and everything suddenly started working.

    It's never been an issue since we've never needed to use anything other than the default NAT adapter, so I've never even questioned it. I found the solution after plugging the computers directly into an access switch without success, and cross-checking show mac address-table with the MAC reported by the VMs revealed that they were identical.

  • I checked ip neighbour (it also shows the ARP table, so I assume they're identical), and it showed REACHABLE and STALE for addresses I could ping, but FAILED for the remote VM's address. I will check arp -a when I get the chance, though.

  • I'll give it a try tomorrow, thanks.

    Although I'd still prefer to know why the VMs won't talk over simple Ethernet.

  • Selfhosted @lemmy.world

    (SOLVED) I need help with networking for VirtualBox guests running on Windows hosts.

  • You're saying that like it's some new revelation, but anyone who's gone to high school should know that. It's also an incomplete statement.

    Money doesn't have intrinsic value beyond its material, but it has extrinsic value given to it by the people and society that use it. Peanuts have no monetary value, but if you and your friends all agree to exchange it for goods and services between the members of the circle, peanuts suddenly gain monetary value.

  • The player is shown a lot of disturbing imagery, but there is zero tension and no threat. It's similar to early Chinese Room titles: a pretentious and superficial experience comparable to A Machine For Pigs, without the pigs. Evaluated as a horror game, its horror is ruined by the game. 4/10, the experience isn't worth the time. Just watch someone else play it.

    Forget that, I was mixing up which game I remembered. I thought LOF2 was the one with the insane painter. I know I've played both, though (plus Observer), but can't recall a single damn detail about the second game. I guess the experience was too bland to even retain.

  • Like saying that a Dockerfile or compose.yaml is "containerless" because you don't have to manually provision a container?

    The future is fucking stupid.

  • Okay.
