You’ll still be able to get consoles and cloud stream. The real problem is that the power to create is being taken away from regular people.

Nextcloud shouldn’t be seeing your MAC address. However, my guess is that Nextcloud has been configured to invalidate the session if the client IP changes, and randomizing the MAC address is one way that can happen.

Impeachment has lost all meaning. Trump has been impeached multiple times but remains in office. Trump loyalists in congress prevented him from seeing any consequences for those impeachments and block new impeachments. Unless something changes, the only way Hegseth is leaving is if Trump decides to remove him.

Are you looking for a VPN or are you looking for an IPv6 tunnel broker like Hurricane Electric?

Does investment fraud benefit businesses? Businesses are investors too.

Who’s on first joke names can’t be good for SEO.

An immutable distro… like NixOS? Or do you mean your root filesystem is immutable? NixOS can do that too. You could normally mount your nix store as readonly and remount rw during updates if you really care about filesystem immutability, or use some snapshot system if you’re paranoid about adding new files to the store corrupting other files already in the store during an update.

The nixpkgs VM creation module, which I’ve never seen documentation for, has a mode where it generates a kernel, initrd, kernel command line, and erofs image containing a prepopulated /nix directory and that’s enough to boot the VM.

Ansible is disappointing as an IAC tool. It’s good for doing things, but it’s not good for converging systems to a desired state. Too often you end up with playbooks that are not idempotent or rely on something that was done during a previous execution of the playbook or just don’t do something that was done by a previous version, and then unless you are constantly recreating your systems you won’t notice until it’s a problem and you can’t get your system back.

That’s what I’m saying. If you signed up to defend and then got assigned to invade DC, getting shot at in DC isn’t what you signed up for.

People don’t join the national guard to invade somewhere and get shot at. The national guard is supposed to be protecting people at home.

Most updates are a waste of time on my phone. Open a streaming media player for a closed streaming service and before it let’s you watch anything it reminds you that you can spend a minute or two updating to a new version indistinguishable from the o/d version. Who knows what they’re changing because the attack surface is basically nonexistent and bugs aren’t being fixed.

Would Wine be better with Microsoft working on it? The frequency and severity of regressions in Windows has been increasing for years now. Maybe for Wine to be a more accurate representation of Windows 11 it needs more bugs and less functionality. The Windows team is good at that.

As if older memes were all meaningful. There’s nothing wrong with 6 7 itself. What’s 9 + 10?

You can host a Proton mail bridge to use different apps running on different machines, including phones.

Self hosting e-mail, particularly SMTP, will likely require a static IP from a reputable provider. Mail servers may reject incoming mail based on the reputation of the sending server. You can avoid this by relaying through another SMTP server and configuring your DNS rules to allow that server to send mail on your behalf, but that’s not really self hosting anymore.

This is a states’ rights issue: the right of the state to do what is convenient for the states’ rights party.

Don’t worry. Next year Google will protect you from such dangerous apps by ensuring that you can only “side load” applications that they allow you to run.

It’s so user friendly. It tells you exactly what to do to solve the problem. Switch to a tty (if that even works on your system) and log in, type this long command from memory, making sure not to mistake those 0s for Os or the Unicode left single quote for back tick, restart your lockscreen, which of course you know how to do, and then come back. If that doesn’t work, start terminating some processes and praying.

It says you can return using “ctrl+alt+F[N] where N is the tty number in the top left corner.” I can’t find my F0 key.

It’s not even good. It’s just scripts for some starter Arch rice, not a serious distro.
