Meanwhile I applied for reimbursement on my failing Pixel 6a battery and Google keep asking for proof that I own this phone. They won’t even allow it on RCS. The trust issue goes both ways.
I do find it suspicious that governments are targeting Signal’s E2E encryption but not RCS, FB Messenger or WhatsApp. It’s clear which ones are compromised.
I remember Street Fighter II asked for page x, paragraph y word z. Once it even pointed to the German section of the manual where the word “mitten” was used. I found that clever. You can’t just copy the English part.
Also, Leisure Suit Larry did something similar, and they sold more copies of the manual than they sold of the game.
The troubleshooting section of the manual is almost always useless because it only ever covers user error.
My washer threw a drainage error and the manual suggested I blocked the outlet or had done something daft. I looked up the error code online and 90% of the time it was a failed water pump.
I had to replace the water pump. It was an easy job that required less documentation than a lego set for a 5 year old. You just had to know which screws to loosen to get to the pump. Was it documented? Of course not.
I did this a few months back.
Some things aren’t as great, but you get full control and your server idles way better on JellyFin.
RMS is the Woz of the Linux world.
I set up my postfix server so that anything after a hyphen (“-”) becomes a wildcard. It like Gmail’s “plus addressing”, but the hyphen is more subtle. It means multiple users can make infinite aliases on one domain.
So, “user@domain.com” has the same mailbox as “user-somesuffix@domain.com”.
GrapheneOS stopped working years ago. Silently.
The doc questioned why I wanted a vasectomy at 30, which he thought was young.
“I have 3 kids already.”
That’s all it took to convince him.
I think I was on a waiting list for a month, and the operation cost about $100 without insurance. No brainer.
Wow. I applied for my 6a and one of the options was a cash refund for ~$700AUD.
That’s more than I paid for it in 2023. I’ll take that.
Linus wanted to call it Freax (a bad portmanteau of “Free” and “Unix”) but people suggested he name it Linux, after himself.
The educational route I took was Hurricane Electric’s free IPv6 online course. It taught me a bunch of networking principles. When you finish the course (and get “sage” status), you get free lifetime DNS access. This includes dynamic DNS that automatically updates when your IP address changes.
Because of this, I can self-host on a basic residential plan without paying for any additional services.
I too am working on a repo that predates git.
Ctrl+Shift+Tab is Ctrl+Tab in reverse order.
Or you can Ctrl+W to close your tab and it should pop back to the last one.
The Jimny is about the 15th smallest car Suzuki makes.
If you’re brave, drive an Alto, Lapin or a Hustler around Texas.

I rock my Skechers, android phone, basic Casio watch, and drive my 2003 Suzuki.
I spend my money on stuff that works. Not stuff that’s marketed.
I sense marketing bullshit, and it’s such a strong turnoff for me.
How much did the job search burn you out?
The last time I jumped jobs, I was absolutely exhausted from the old job. The new job was perfect, but took another year before I didn’t feel exhaused 24x7.
Shoji cat is watching you…
I started on 3.5" HDDs in the 90s. I am running 3.5" HDDs today. They are still the most cost efficient.
If your reverse proxy only acknowledges jellyfin exists if the hostname is correct, you won’t get discovered by an IP scanner.
Mine’s on jellyfin.[domain].com and you get a completely different page if you hit it by IP address.
If it does get found, there’s also a fail2ban to rate-limit someone brute-forcing a login.
I’ve always exposed my home IP to the internet. Haven’t had an issue in the last 15 years. I’m running about 10 public-facing services including NTP and SMTP.
I agree. Intel or AMD doesn’t matter too much on the CPU. There’s a massive difference between AMD and NVidia on the GPU front. I hear the gap is closing, but the Steam hardware survey shows nobody on Linux prefers NVidia.
And for the love of God do not print with anything but a Brother laser. Just don’t.
