Jerry Springer, I take it?

This got me wondering about lionising Go in films. I think I need to start a such a movement amongst directors or screen writers.

I’m hilariously bad at chess. I learned the fools gambit and never progressed.

It’s actually not that pricey for what you get from it. The problem is that they have a tendency to be closed mouthed about their plans.

I bought a 2.5 GBE router, to replace my elderly and difficult USG, and was about to buy a 2.5 GBE WAP - there was a problem with them having issues with only one chipset inside the first version, so I didn’t pull the trigger immediately. Within a month there was a 10 GBE WAP being sold. A 10 GBE Router appear soon after. Damn.

The only viable alternative, IMHO, is pfsense (mostly US users) and opensense (not US users) and you need your own hardware.

I run my Gateway without a UI login, a local account. I lose some of the features, but that’s ok with me.

I started some time ago by reading his Ethereum emissions. I have a relevant qualification but it was handed down last century.

Yeah. I need a refresher. 😳

That’s not to say that the bits which I did understand weren’t elegantly put and digestible.

I do like this man’s musings. This is one I actually understood.

You should go see Gentoo or something if ArchLinux causes you problems.

It’s my go-to rescue cum doing-backups cum new-install distribution because it’s clean (meaning low cruft), minimalist, and most importantly, rolling. I run it as a console OS. I adore it.

Have I run it as my Workstation OS? Yes. Would I again? No. It was too fragile then.

Pacman is too strange to use with the options reduced to letters and having to include the double dash every time you remember the long form. Gimme dnf, Aptitude or flatpak.

My daily driver is Fedora. Is my heart in my mouth every six months when 4,000 packages all need reinstalling? Yes.

Have I tried Debian Testing&Sid as semi-rolling? Yes, fantastic, until they did something weird with systemd instead of just doing the conf locations as intended like everyone else. And the weak-dependencies lists were unfunny. Did I mention I loved aptitude?!

Have I tried, source distros (exherbo, Gentoo, funtoo)? Yes, never got any work done. I was always compiling something for that 1% corner-case performance gain.

Don’t think I’ll try anything else save maybe openSUSE or that NixOS. The first seriously, the second for fun - NixOS smells a tiny bit like Gentoo or ArchLinux to me (sorry, not sorry).

Personally, I think bro needs an immutable Linux OS. Fedora SilverBlue, openSUSE MicroOS, the ArchLinux one.

Then someone needs to write a timer such that when he’s really concentrating hard at 2am, it stops and puts some graphical meme on the screen for three hours. Then he’ll feel at home.

Oh bless.

Biggest mistake is not repeating the wash-rinse twice. Ask a hairdresser why they do it that way.

[sorry, NFC!]

I’m in the UK. I’ll have to look it up.

UniFi seem to have dabbled with 2.5 GBE briefly and then jumped to 10. I’m guessing that 10 will be the way to go.

You’re looking at cat 6A patch leads rather than 7. 7 requires different but RJ45 compatible connectors, I believe. Yes, I’m still trying to understand what the difference is.

I have a 2.5G router, the CG Max. A 1 G switch (waiting for a reasonably priced 10 G) and a 10 G WAP. It’s a bit of a mess!

One always minimises attack surfaces and the possibility of fat fingered mistakes. The lower privileges that you grant yourself the better.

You’d think that Dave Cutler who, I believe, designed Windows NT coming from a Unix style background would have followed these principles but no. I discovered *nix late sadly.

Thank-you.

Off topic: I keep meaning to ask this; am I still able to use wallet like applications to make RFID payments with GrapheneOS?

I’m one of those strange people that spends physical cash like water but much better with electronic currency.

I think that’s the only thing that stops me bar having to get a new battery.

TIL that I’m cynical. Damn.

Looks like my next but one phone will be a iPhone. I never imagined that I would ever say that. Ever.

Google let me down when visual voicemail (or whatever they were going to call it) failed to appear!

I don’t study Japanese. I suggested the most popular app.

Are you learning japanese? You might enjoy trying. Duolingo has a free tier which is annoying but the annual sub is reasonable (c. £60) if you look for offers.

Firefox will offer translations. On both sides.

Given the choice between not knowing an answer and having to translate it (using a built-in translator) I’d prefer the answer, but you could always use the translator for them even if the output is garbage-Japanese.

Taking offence is a choice.

Does one good to be challenged (at least) occasionally.

I learned something new.

😁

Good on you.
