I've had some problems with mounting disks in my user home folder. I can't recall the details, but it did cause me a headache at some point.
I don't know, but I wonder the same. I'm in the US and work for a guy that has tens of millions of dollars. He still spends all day in the office 6 days a week. To be fair, I don't think he does it for the money, exactly, but I can't understand why he keeps working at all.
Literally anything that anyone can ever imagine, is not all equally probable.
Beer, or if I don't want beer then I order a tequila tonic. It's easy for the bartender and it's like a light margarita.
That's cool. I went in 2017.
We aren't in such a nice timeline.
In Thai, the number '5' is pronounced like "haa", so Thai people write 555 to signify laughter, similar to 'lol'.
I quit smoking when Marlboros went over $2/pack lol. Airports had these awful rooms where all the smokers would cram in and hotbox. Other countries are still like it used to be here in the US. Japan comes to mind as one such bad example. If you ask for a non-smoking table in a restaurant, they just sit you at any random table and put a little "no smoking" sign on it!
The FBI is never going to save you from rightwing violence.
Batteries for longer shelf life supposedly. Paintbrushes with paint on them that they were gonna use again? Idk
We all hope it doesn't come to that, but please arm yourselves and train with your weapons. Get a cheap AR in 5.56/.223, and a pistol in 9mm. These are very common calibers. At least as important as that, make sure you know some people you can trust in your community. Do it now while you can. Guns and ammo will get more expensive as we get closer to the election.
Not everyone needs to fight cops in the streets (respect and support to those that do!). There are other ways to fight as well: organizing strikes, sabotage, [redacted]. I think the main problem is that the fascism pot has been simmering for so long, that people are mostly used to it, and can no longer really imagine the alternative. We're so isolated from each other, and desperate to survive that too many of us will "keep calm and carry on" as long as it isn't our necks on the chopping block.
Projecting strength and confidence!
Just want to say how much I appreciate "my sibling in misery". I really fucking hate "my brother in Christ".
I guess, but this just kind of redefines how most people think of egoism/selfishness/altruism etc. Where does it lead? If making people happy is selfish, and making people happy is 'good', does that mean any selfish act is 'good'? Does it really take away from 'good' acts if the performer derives happiness from them?
Boiling the oceans to make scamcoins and deepfake porn.
I take the same precautions crossing a Chinese border as I do crossing a US one.
I currently use a Hetzner VPS in conjunction with a Hetzner storage box. Generally I'm very happy with this setup, but I recently had a VPN failure which resulted in a very stern email from Hetzner. What I would like to do is keep the storage box, but move my torrenting/jellyfin server to a different company. I'm worried about them deleting my ~12TB of media if I slip up again!
Basically I want a comparable value to Hetzner, with a US based server. Who's got recs?
I like used Thinkpads. I bought a T430s off eBay and used it for several years. Recently I got a T570 from work. It had a screen issue, so I bought a new screen. That didn't fix it so I bought a new mobo, but it has a loose drive connector so won't boot. Just now I killed it for good by putting an nvme in a sata slot lol.
Anyway, I need another laptop and I don't want to buy something new. The t570 did everything I needed it to, but I'm concerned about the design/build quality. What Thinkpads are people running these days that aren't very old but still solid?
I use LOS with microg on my OnePlus 8T. I have been running rooted with Kitsune (magisk fork), and I always follow the process to maintain root when upgrading LOS. Today I updated but somehow lost root. So I went through the process of rooting again: downloaded the boot.IMG, patched it on device, moved it to PC, booted into fastboot, flashed patched.IMG to current slot. Kitsune still says N/A. Anyone else having similar trouble? Or maybe just care to point out something obvious I'm missing?
I just got a comment deleted and my account banned from noncredibledefense@shitjustworks (or however they parse that out). It was a shitty meme fantasizing about Japan getting to do more murdering in China, in the event of a war over Taiwan. I got called a tankie and banned for questioning whether Japan had any appetite for a war with China, and that I thought S Korea would be kept out of the conflict by the threat from N Korea.
Friends, I did not glorify communism, nor did I take any position on the disposition of Taiwan. Basically my sin seems to have been pointing out the "non-credibility" of the meme.
Anyway, I just didn't know where else to post about this (can't even message the mod that banned me!). I know hexbears shun that whole server, so I guess I'm really finding out why.
Hi Mx. Chapo,
I'm looking for advice about reporting labor law violations in California, USA. A good friend of mine works in the medical field, and they (and their coworkers) are routinely victims of wage theft. "Overtime" is policed to the extent that it is normal for them to clock out at exactly 8 hours, but continue working for 10-15 minutes.
My friend is annoyed by this, but is afraid of retaliation, and generally likes the job. Can anyone tell me how to report this anonymously? Cursory internet searches make it seem like the reporting party has to be identifiable.
I am looking for books/movies/graphic novels about ::adventure time:: I have fantasized for years about a dope graphic novel along these lines. Something like the "Children of Kali" from Ministry for the Future. Just looking for some escapist thrills. Please share what you've got.
Also, I've already seen How to Blow up a Pipeline and enjoyed it.
Does anyone else vacillate between feeling hot (attractive) and repellant?
Some days I feel like all the women around me find me desirable, and other days I feel like none of them do. I rarely feel 'in between'.
I don't really like feeling either extreme. For one thing, I don't trust either feeling! Feeling unattractive is obviously a bad feeling, but feeling ultra attractive is also bad. It leads me to uncomfortable fantasies and an inability to distinguish normal interactions from flirtation.
Does anyone else feel like this?
I am having some trouble with a Nextcloud server. I set up a digitalocean droplet to test contact syncing for work. I went with the setup that I use at home, which is Yunohost and Nextcloud. This was/is working fine to sync contacts with iOS using the built-in support for CardDav accounts in iOS.
I made a snapshot of the server and rebuilt it on a work account (also Digital ocean). I reconfigured it for a new domain name, and got a letsencrypt cert. I can login and manage the admin and user accounts.
I set up an iPad to use the new server, and it seemed to work fine. However, I subsequently tried a couple other iPhones, and it won't connect to the account.
It isn't a fail2ban thing, because on the same apple devices that I can't connect to the accounts on, I can go login to Nextcloud in their browser.
What is happening?
Edit: I seem to have fixed it by reinstalling the server from scratch. I wanted to eliminate any problems that may have been caused by restoring from a snapshot previously linked to another domain. Everything is working at least for now.
I'm looking for a good, reliable way to download embedded YouTube videos. These videos are not always accessible on YouTube.com, so the method can't be specific to that site. Thanks for any recommendations!
I'm new to Windows deployments, and I need some help. I've gotten as far as setting up a new system from a Windows 11 image downloaded from MS, configuring it/installing software, and then running sysprep. I made a WinPE boot thumbdrive, but I'm stuck at capturing the Windows image part. Part of my problem is that I'm trying to make this in a VM. Is that more trouble than it's worth?
Is there an easier way to do this? I've seen people saying I can use Linux tools like Clonezilla, which sounds good to me, since I'm very comfortable with Linux-- but I read that might cause problems. One thing mentioned was licensing.
I would be deploying these images 100% onto Lenovo machines that we purchase from CDW, so I'm not sure how licensing would work. Is the license tied to the MAC? Will they auto-register once I boot them with the new image?
Thanks for anyone that takes the time to help me understand this :)
How can I allow a user/s to edit/update shared contacts in Exchange/Outlook 365?
Hells Angels are moving into my area for the first time. I have a generally negative view of them, but have some friends who feel otherwise. I would love to hear your experiences related to the Angels specifically, but "1%" clubs as well.
The phone number field on the Verizon website has increment/decrement by 1 buttons, so you can select your phone number the long way, I guess!
Hi, Linux! I've been using Linux for many years now, but haven't moved distros in awhile. I'm considering it now, and I really would like to migrate over all my customized system and software settings. So far, I am thinking of backing up everything that begins with a dot in my home folder, all of my systemd service files, and user/root crontabs. I know this is missing some things, but I'm not sure what. Any advice/warnings/examples people care to share?
