“The Theory and Practice of Oligarchical Collectivism” is a hell of read, as well as “The Navidson Record”.

But “The Necronomicon” is my favorite fictional book, I think.

Only reserve IPs that are outside of the DHCP range you’ve configured.

I buy multiplayer games on steam since that’s where my friends are. I pirate almost everything else unless I want to support the developer (typically small indie games or high quality stuff like FromSoft). If I buy a game, I do prefer GOG but steam can be convenient, especially on Linux.

There are huge archives of flash animations and you can install a safe “emulator” for playing flash that even runs in your browser. Look up Ruffle. I can’t remember the name of the big archive site I used, but it didn’t take much googling. I know I was able to find Homestar, Larry Carlson, Adam Phillips (bitey), joe cartoon and salad fingers as well as a ton of games from back in the day.

I’m honestly fine just being a brain in a jar. Give me access to books and film and video games and I don’t think I need a body. Is there a name for what’s wrong with me?

If you’re doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.

That said, I’m a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I’m missing something from the dev experience… But I love containers.

Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.

So what would happen if a lot of us liberal minded folks bought up all this worthless stock on the cheap? Would maga fucks pay us (by buying back our interest at a healthy margin) not to influence the trump media group with demands for “woke” media to profit on our investments? 🤔

Fuck. I hate this. Stop it.

Yeah me too. She’s become what they said she was it seems.

Nah, it’s Zelda. That creepy bitch haunted me for years.

“raaaaaaaachellllllll…”

Fuck that.

I have one word for you, OP: Racism.

The marijuana tax stamp law was put in place because American politicians and voters didn’t like black and Mexican people. At the time, it was primarily used by those demographics. Now, of course, it’s used pretty equally by everyone.

This is only possible if you get your phone from the carrier, right? They wouldn’t be able to differentiate if you were using an unlocked phone you got from Google or Amazon?

It’s not just right wing media, all media does this because it drives profits.

Fuck Fox News though, they are terrible for a multitude of reasons.

You must be in an area like SF or NYC. Or this is a luxury space.

Turns out the dude was likely involved with CSAM, as his brother was arrested for it almost immediately after the shooting.

From what I’ve seen, his brother was one of the only people still in touch with him during his last days.

It’s because of what you said: no motive. Crime like this is only sensational when the motive can be applied to some fictional stereotype of villain that could be stopped by new legislation or a war or whatever.

Also I think a big reason we don’t discuss this specific event is the caliber of rifle used. Contrary to popular belief, non “assault” weapons can do a shocking amount of damage in an environment where the targets can’t retaliate. See the Virginia Tech shooting.

Long story short: if it ain’t political and can’t be made political, people in the US won’t care for long.

I wonder if you have read/heard the things Rowling has actually said about trans issues.

I also find it ironic that you liken her to a chrisofachist, when in the early 00s she was basically crucified by those people.

I certainly don’t agree with everything she has said. But some of her points are genuine “maybe this is something that deserves conversation and contemplating”, which are immediately construed as transphobic or hateful by many people who haven’t personally read/heard what she said. People jump to screaming online instead of trying to refute her points.

Again, I do NOT agree with her on many, many things!

Microsoft Windows. I used to be a sysadmin. New job is 100% Linux. Now I never touch Windows unless it’s to play a game.

Yeah it was the first one
