Can do full disk encryption of root and auto-unlock with tpm, the auto-login is a separate thing and not necessarily the same password

I haven’t switched to it full time, still happy with KDE… but niri is really nice too

Speed run getting elected as a Democrat this cycle, get arrested or indicted by the Trump regime.

It’s the Michael Scott meme, “I’m going to vote for her even harder”

I stumbled across this sort of fascinating area of doomsday prepping a few weeks back.

A nice addition to that, don’t just make it a USB, but a raspberry pi. So you’d have a reasonably low-powered computer you could easily take with you.

Not suggesting this one as it seems a bit expensive to me, but https://www.prepperdisk.com/products/prepper-disk-premium-over-512gb-of-survival-content?view=sl-8978CA41

Thanks for that suggestion, I had a passing thought a while back I should look into something like this.

Any problems in your experience? I imagine apps will fail if you’re slow to approve the outbound connection and something times out, so I get all of that, looking more for broader issues this might cause? Specifically wondering about the docker containers I run, all the development nonsense.

I liked googles response statement that they disagree with the ruling and are considering their next steps. You could hear the champagne bottles popping open in the background… and it was a written statement.

I just bought some UniFi gear for the first time. Cloud gateway fiber, u7 pro xgs and u7 long range.

Really like the dashboard, configuration, vlan.

Really dislike the WiFi APs, they’re AWFUL on range/speed. Updated, tweaked settings, Ethernet backhaul… I had better and more reliable coverage with a single ASUS router (but the asus firmware was terrible). A synology mesh worked pretty reliably too but no >2.5gbps wan port.

I also wish their DNS was more full featured. I haven’t dug into this much, maybe it is something I can do by SSHing into router, been too busy trying to get the WiFi improved.

Not annoyed enough to return the gear but really disappointed with WiFi performance.

There are some good videos by Vegas locals talking about how ridiculous the resort fees and restaurant fees on the strip have become.

I’ve been to Vegas a bunch of times. It’s a fun place to lose some money, but it’s all slot machines with worse payouts and tons of resort fees now.

The first episode was great, but the PSA was really something. 49 more PSAs and I’m definitely tuning in to see them.

If kids want to be protected they need to get some better lobbyists. /s

guillotine and chill?

Free rice, not ok Free jumbo jets, all good

Let me be unequivocal: No DNC officer should ever attempt to influence the outcome of a primary election, whether on behalf of an incumbent or a challenger

Hah, right. The more accurate statement would be something like

As a DNC officer It’s only acceptable to put your thumb on the RIGHT side of the scale

Shithole Country, Failed State. These are understating just how fucked up the US is right now.

The amount of harm Trump has done and will do to this country (in the name of trying to harm the entire rest of the world) is going to last for decades. And when he’s done, he’s so dumb that he will think he won bigly and his supporters will continue to repeat idiotic statements about how much better off the US is, and most of them will believe it.

This country is fucked.

I AM an apple guy but tend to get a galaxy A* tablet. Often on sale, reasonably well supported with updates. The A9+ has been pretty good.

Jury nullification? What’s that?

No one can code with a horse, of course. That is of course, unless the horse is the famous mr Ed.

Having been a firefox user for a few years now, Screw Mozilla. What a mismanaged shit-show they’ve become.

I get that browser development costs a ton, and that they’re in a shitty position. But to make this ode to stockholm syndrome blog post… what on EARTH?

Best case, Chrome gets split off into a separate organization free of meddling and they can fund themselves with reasonable donations / investments. In reality, I’m sure Google and other advertising companies will try to get into it and buy the behavior they want, like special-interest groups in US politics.

But if Chrome ended up under any organization with reasonable management who wasn’t completely beholden to advertisers, I’d switch back to Chrome pretty quickly (assuming the whole Manifest V2/V3 thing got un-fucked).
