But I’ve never played smash. What does that mean? Oh! Oh.

Instructions unclear, VPN’d into my own home network.

I have auto redirect to 443. But --nginx works fine. I think it overrides stuff for whatever the specific url used is.

There’s a certbot addon which uses nginx directly to renew the certificate (so you don’t need to stop the web server to renew). If you install the addon you just use the same certbot commands but with --nginx instead and it will perform the actions without interfering with web server operation.

You just then make sure the cron job to renew also includes --nginx and you’re done.

It makes sense that they issue short certificates, though. The sole verification is that you own the domain. If you sell/let the domain lapse and someone else takes it over, there’s only a limited time you would hold a valid certificate for it.

An array?

var turtles = new Turtle[] { new Turtle(), new Turtle() };

Don’t do this :P

You realize there’s 8 billion people on the planet? The majority of people either didn’t (or luckily for them still don’t) know who this guy is.

Nothing to do with pets, but in Korea there are places that serve dog. At least it was the case when I was there 20+ years ago. But, of course they’re not pets, they’re farmed like any other livestock I would expect, and these places were not exactly commonplace even then, so maybe now they’re just not a thing? I’ve not really looked into it.

Now, saying “x” people eat pets is likely just what others have said, a slur used against whichever subset of people is the target of the month. Maybe it once had roots in facts like those I’ve mentioned, but they’re far removed from them now.

No, I did not partake in eating dog.

Now I’ll upset some people here, I’m sure but…

Here in the UK, you can see how decent an area is using this method.

Go to the nearest Tesco Extra. If they have the coin traps on the trolleys, probably a dodgy area. If they don’t, not so dodgy area.

In both cases, you’re going to find the trolleys are generally not left lying around. Read into it what you will.

I only use Tesco extra as an example because from my experience other supermarkets either have the coin traps, or don’t. It seems only Tesco (correct me if I’m wrong) vary the behaviour by area.

Can you post a picture of yourself here so we all know to just leave you to die, if we ever see you in medical distress.

TIA.

I think this overall is a better idea. I’m going to say this because, I thought I’d look into rust today. So I installed it, setup vscode to work with it etc. And it’s all up and running. I thought I would port over a “fairly simple” C# project I wrote recently as a bit of a test.

While I’ve generally had success (albeit with 30+ tabs open to solve questions I had about how to do certain things, and only making it about 20% into the task) I’m going to say that it’s different enough from C, C++ and C# (all of which I can work with) that I really don’t think it is fair to expect C developers that have day jobs and work on the kernel in their spare time to learn this. It’s fundamentally different in my opinion.

Now, I don’t condone any bad attitude and pushing away of rust developers from the project. But there’s no way they’re going to want to do anything to help which involves learning a new language. It’s just not going to happen.

Likewise, C is not a language most new developers are learning. So, I feel like over time there won’t be so much of an influx of new kernel developers and any Rust based kernel could find itself with more contributors over time and taking over as the de-facto kernel.

In terms of Redox (not looked into it yet). So long as there’s a different team working on the userspace tools. I would say the main task should be getting a solid kernel with drivers for most popular hardware etc in place. The existing GNU tools will do until there’s a kernel that is able to compete with the C one. But that’s just my opinion.

Here’s what I think. Both opinions are correct.

Rust is sufficiently different that you cannot expect C developers to learn rust to the level they have mastered C in order to be working at the kernel level. It’s not going to happen.

I don’t really know too much about rust. Maybe one day I’ll actually mess around with it. But the one time I looked at a rust git repo I couldn’t even find where the code to do a thing was. It’s just different enough to be problematic that way.

So I think probably, the best way IS to go the way linus did. Just go ahead and write a very basic working kernel in rust. If the project is popular it will gain momentum.

Trying to slowly adapt parts of the kernel to rust and then complain when long term C developers don’t want to learn a new language in order to help isn’t going to make many friends on that team.

I would agree, but there’s been at least two updates in the last six months that restarted my machine before I even got to see the pending restart warning. I use it every day and shutdown if I won’t be. So the restart happened less than 24 hours after any warning if there even was a warning.

That has the potential to lose things I’m working on. Windows pathetic attempt to bring things back falls woefully short of functional.

Flash up alerts to say there’s critical updates, but the action to actually restart should be a human interaction.

That’s got to be extremely rare. Not much you can do in that case. But they will hit many problems with that approach.

That’s weird. I’m getting to the age where I wouldn’t see the point in 4k, I’d need to have my head on top of the screen to see it. But refresh rate can be felt in fluid scrolling etc and definitely even if only on the unconcious level, improves awareness in games too.

Lithium batteries have a very high energy density. When that’s released all at once with a short circuit or very high current draw resulting in thermal runaway, that’s when these fires start. The great news is, they’re self fuelling fires too!

But, most reputable manufacturers, create charging/protection circuits that protect the batteries against such situations. Making them far less likely (but still possible) to happen.

The problem you’re going to get is when there’s disreputable companies, operating in countries with less stringent safety laws that are operating the production, processing and shipping entirely outside of the sight of countries with safety rules. Well, then you get a product with a fake FCC/CE sticker on it, that is very dangerous indeed.

I will not buy electronics from those sites for this very reason. Batteries, chargers and power supplies are usually very shoddy from these companies.

It’s not to say don’t buy stuff made by country X. Because there’s plenty of stuff I have bought made in, these countries but sold by companies that DO make sure there’s some testing done, and they’re not fake stickering everything. But, we all know the companies I’m talking about I think. Also, ebay (because private sellers buy in bulk from these places and then resell them) is something to be careful of too.

When you post in a thread you get an ID for that thread. When you post in a different thread you get a different id.

That’s what I said. You don’t need any ID to federate the messages. If you reply to a comment the nesting is based on the comment/post ID and not the usernames.

You couldn’t track a users posts after the fact, and I think that’s kinda the point.

Not so sure that’s true though. If you look at a 4chan threads in some boards, you can recognize the individual anonymous’ from the ID next to them.

I suspect it’s using either a cookie, or the IP address to track a user and while not storing that info, generating an ID hash from perhaps a unique ID for the thread + their details.

No reason you couldn’t federate using the same. But, even without that, each post and comment has a post ID and replies would be tracked that way. Just, you’d need to remember which replies were your own.

The home instance could store for a thread some info about posts/comments from an IP or cookie too and highlight them. But that info wouldn’t be federated.

I actually don’t think it’d be a problem, really. But, is this something missing from our lives? I’m not so sure.

I mean, while they can block most things, to give people a usable experience they’re going to allow http and https traffic through, and they can’t really proxy https because of the TLS layer.

So for universal chance of success, running openvpn tcp over port 443 is the most likely to get past this level of bad. I guess they could block suspicious traffic in the session before TLS is established (in order to block certain domains). OpenVPN does support traversing a proxy, but it might only work if you specify it. If their network sets a proxy via DHCP, maybe you could see that and work around it.

I did have fun working around an ex gf’s university network many years ago to get a VPN running over it. They were very, very serious about blocking non-standard services. A similar “through” the proxy method was the last resort they didn’t seem to bother trying to stop.

I expect the soyboy stuff originated on 4chan. But I would believe the “evidence” for other people commenting about it is also on Facebook.

I mean on Facebook it kinda makes sense that the crazy rises to the top. The normal people limit their posts to friends only. You can spot the crazies. They have all posts set to world visible.
