Pride (2014), maybe? So hard to pick one. But I do love this one. Two very different communities comming together and supporting each other in the worst of times. Filled with love and laughs.

I was always “This movie is such a typical Terry Gilliam piece” thinking the book would be so different. But nope! Terry Gilliam was just the perfect match for that book.

There is a Swedish film on this subject. As described on imdb:

A German business man, Volkswagner, comes to Österlen in the south of Sweden to build Deutschneyland, a gigantic amusement park for German tourists. The local councilors and the member of parliament are all in favor of the idea, although it will turn vast areas into parking lots for cars. The Lindberg family does not like the idea and with the help of a little magic, they start scheming against it.

There are scenes where they are walking around in the middle of nature going

Can you imagine a better place for a popcorn stand?

And stuff like that. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068025/

Ah, thanks, that makes sense

What is the sequence suppose to illustrate?

My speech on me not being a sex trafficker has people asking a lot of questions already answered by my speech on how I’m not a sex trafficker

I always use check.torproject.org. If I’m not on Tor, it gives me my IP, if I am on Tor it verifies that. Good for both.

Such presidential language. *chefs kiss*

Damn, I’m looking for the other direction, chicken soup to hdmi. Can’t find that anywhere.

Shit, I’m still waiting for the day macos (I assume that is what we are actually talking about here) is usable.

Ok. What exactly is not working with the network? Are you on wired or wireless? If you do run ip a, does your interfaces show up?

Another thing to look at is journalctl -b. Look for errors, lines in red, anything about the network. If you can roll back to a functioning boot (or run journalctl -b -1 should show the previous boot) and compare to that is probably a good idea, journald (displayed by that command) may contain errors that are not relevant, so comparing to a functioning boot may be good.

Also, depending on how old your computer it, there may be another hdmi output which uses the GPU integrated to your CPU. If that is the case, you could switch to it if the nvidia card stops working just to troubleshoot, take a look at journalctl -b and look for errors again. If the screen just goes black, and does not boot, this may also give you some messages as to why the nvidia graphics is not coming up.

To the menu to the left, there is one item called “secure boot”, and sometimes “fast boot” is there. However, if your computer is booting at all, I’m not sure this is it. But try it, it will not hurt.

GTX 580? Maybe you have to install an older driver, like the 470-series of the driver appears to support it: https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/unix/legacy-gpu/ Ubuntu has a bunch of older series of nvidia driver you can install for this purpose.

That would not explain your networking though. Unless that is also some older hardware too… But, a common thing to do as a new user in linux may be to find posts which answer “how do I install x in ubuntu” and they usually involve editing files under /etc/apt/sources.d/. This can wreck your system in this kind of way, so: have you done that? Or this is pure ubuntu, just regular apt update/upgrade and some apt installs?

Those penguins appear to be Gentoo penguins, so in a way only one belongs

Maybe dropbear and unlock really fast from another device where the monitor is already on?

Works really great if you compile sudo with insults enabled: https://github.com/sudo-project/sudo/blob/70c1ee4b44f5b15822919c05ffbde857fa879e48/plugins/sudoers/ins_classic.h

JBPs guide to mental health

To an enormous extent are todays data centers, cloud providers, and all the techology the whole world use today based on open source. Without linux, curl, ffmpeg, and so on nothing in todays high tech society would work. Google, as it is today, would not exist if it was for all the open source they leech of.

Hell yeah, schizo-chad!

Yeah! I forgot about revdep-rebuild! Now that you remind me I do remember being worried about having to rebuild modules, forgetting about it, having to boot frlm live and chroot, and what not going back to Gentoo. I had almsot completely forgotten about it because it is so smooth sailing now.
