Yeah, but I don't want the DCM to be powered/running when the car is running either because of the data privacy concerns.
I'm weird and I study U.S. intellectual property law for fun and this free textbook is awesome. I've got the previous edition printed on dead trees and even the print edition was only $40, which is ridiculously cheap for a college textbook.
I'm pretty sure my 2021 Crosstrek isn't in scope of that recall (at least as far as Subaru is concerned), but I'll do some more research. Thanks!
It's just the most advanced autocorrect ever implemented.
That's generous.
Thank you for this. I haven't been any sort of sysadmin in a good long time and when I was, I didn't manage more than three or four servers. But I am fed up enough with SystemD to finally go to the trouble of switching back from Arch to the Gentoo I used to run and love. And it's a breath of fresh air dealing with OpenRC (and generally the whole Gentoo ecosystem) again.
Unit files are a pain to deal with. I love that with init scripts, if I can write Bash scripts, I can write init scripts without having to look up every little thing in Google and in man pages.
That's the state of vehicles these days. I bought the Subaru I'm driving now because my 2005 Saturn was getting harder and harder to maintain. (And because I wanted more than 1,000 cubic centimeters of cargo space. (Yes, I'm being hyperbolic, but yeah.))
Subaru is hardly the worst offender on privacy. I don't know that I could have gotten a less "smart" car without getting an older vehicle, and the one I was selling was harder to maintain specifically because it was old.
I think the best we can hope for is hackable devices. Being able to just remove the DCM fuse is "hackable" in my book. I got a robot vacuum cleaner, but I got the model that's best for running Valetudo. I got a smartphone with an unlocked bootloader so I could run LineageOS. I didn't get a Nintendo Switch until the Fusee Gilee vulnerability was discovered. I didn't really shop around for a "hackable" car before I bought this Subaru. But I'm satisfied with the "just unplug the DCM fuse" solution.
Everyone needs a Paul Stamets on speed dial for emergency mycological classification.
It's a well-known problem with Subarus. There's a class action suit about it. My Subaru supposedly isn't from one of the affected model years, so it may well be a long shot hoping this is the DCM. But I guess I'll find out for sure if the problem with my particular Subaru is the DCM.
Another thing I've heard from a random Reddit post is that the alternator's firmware might not allow the battery to fully charge.
And, of course, anything else might pull current for no reason. Or the batter might be fucked. Who knows. I'll figure it out eventually.
I just removed the fuse for the DCM in my Subaru earlier today. Both because I don't trust Subaru with my data (the privacy policy says basically by existing in the cabin, you consent to being audio recorded and the recordings sent back to Suburu for any use Subaru might want to use them for) and because my car apparently can't go four days without being driven without the battery dying. I'm hoping the problem is parasitic draw from the Starlink DCM module thing that I just disabled.
If it's not that, I'll have to do more diagnostics.
If you get this joke without looking it up, 10 internet points to you.
The U.S. has always been bullies, fundamentalists, militant, entitled. All the things you don't want in an ally. Yes, the U.S. is worse now. (I'm American, by the way.) But I hope U.S. allies have kindof seen this coming and made arrangements to weather this sort of thing, even if it lasts forever. Myabe that was kindof the point of the E.U., for instance.
The U.S. isn't the only country going off the rails, though. Think of Brexit, for instance. I'm not saying the U.K. government is anywhere near as... quite frankly openly fascist as the U.S.'s is right now, but at least the U.K. isn't immune. Unfortunately no country is.
More like Papa Smurf.
I'm definitely excited for this technology to start getting into slicers. In the meantime, I might have occasion to want so much strength in a part that I'd go to the trouble of using a script.
I currently use Cura, but I'm disgusted with Cura and looking to switch to PrusaSlicer. Cura's a great slicer, but a terrible program. I use Raspberry Pis as desktop systems frequently. Cura used to work on ARM, but doesn't any more. I'm also switching my main x86_64 box to Gentoo. It seems like they've added just tons of ridiculous libraries as dependencies to Cura that make it so hard to build Cura, the Gentoo devs have given up trying. Cura also doesn't play nice with Wayland. And it will only run on an old version of Python, which makes getting it to run on a modern system challenging. In short, the slicing isn't the problem. It's getting it installed and running on your system of choice.
So, given that I'm probably switching to PrusaSlicer soon anyway, I'll be in just the right place to start using scripts for PrusaSlicer/Orca/etc like this one. Hopefully this feature makes it into PrusaSlicer upstream soon as well.
(I do say I'm probably switching to PrusaSlicer. I don't really have a good grasp on what features I've depended on in Cura are absent in Prusaslicer. Like, does it have tree supports? Support blocking? Top surface ironing? Not that all of those things are deal breakers, but some might end up being a big deal to me. And if so, I might have to go to the trouble of wrangling building Cura or holding off on switching to Gentoo or running Cura in Docker or something. We'll see.)
Final thought:
Advertising? Even if only word-of-mouth.
It would have to be pretty secretive. But it's not like there aren't other services out there that do similar things illegally under cover of anonymity. (Silk Road, anyone?)
Text without the "rule":
Macaroni and Cheese
Yeah, I got that.
"Have a 4chan?" Isn't 4chan loginless?
This was introduced as a joke, right? It was introduced by a Democrat. This has to just be an elaborate, rhetorical statement.
I would have thought there would have been a continuous train of successors to Silk Road since the "first one" was shut down.
Just wait until the JS fanboys hear about the section 3, paragraph 7, subsection ii prohibition on JS in the build process.
I tried farting in the bread isle, but I have yet to find true love. Am I doing it wrong? Maybe I need to eat more garlic for extra fragrance?
