Yep. This guy thought he was fighting a righteous battle against the evil of white replacement. Brainwashed, but not insane by any clinical definition any more than any soldier is.

I use a Turquoise Turtle knot. My shoes don't come untied by accident.

Several flies will seek you out to bite you. Horse flies, for example. Not to mention ticks & lice & mites & other parasites.

Baud rate is the maximum number of transitions per second of the state of a transmission medium. Hz is the actual number of cycles per second, so it varies degending on the data transmitted. Bitrate is the number of bits transmitted per second.

Usually bits are transmitted in groups with some redundancy to allow errors to be corrected. E.g. early Ethernet used 8b/10b encoding; 8 bits of data were transmitted as a 10 bit "symbol".

With a 1b/1b encoding baud rate would equal bit rate, but in practice that was essentially never used so the numbers woud diverge. Bitrate is more meaningful to the user.

SI and binary prefixes can be applied to baud, so kilobaud is certainly a word.

It's especially funny because systemd isn't one program any more than GNU is. It's a project. systemd-initd handles init. systemd-journald handles journal logs. systemd-resolved handles DNS resolution. Etc. Each systemd daemon has one area of responsibility!

Yip. Everything is always going to shit, but manure makes good fertilizer.

Depends on how it's pronounced IMO. Hard "t" American style it's a very rude word. With a stop instead of the "t" like the British & Australians use it it's far less offensive, sort of becomes their all-purpose casual company pronoun.

Don't forget the chocolate-flavored food grade wax.

Too much room for confusion with ACAB.

Terok Nand had better data storage.

I'll add Matiz's "Flor de Garum" to the list of good fish sauces. The herbs used give it some extra flavor. It's a lot pricier in the US though!

Asafoetida. When uncooked, the smell fits the hype of the various names from around the world: stinking gum, devil's dirt, devil shit, satan's shit, etc. Cooked, it tastes and smells like a very umami cross between garlic & leeks. Common in Indian cuisine, particularly vegetarian dishes.

Yes, or if you override something you'll compile that thing and anything depending on it. If you override glibc, you'll recompile pretty much the entire system!

KeePass + Syncthing is pretty convenient.

Buttercup looks to be using AES-CBC with PBKDF2 and no authentication, but I only took a very brief look so I may have missed important details. That's not secure if an attacker can alter the vault file, and PBKDF2 isn't a great KDF to use. If you use this, you definitely need a 128-bit or higher entropy passphrase (10 Diceware words). You usually want that anyway, but using a weaker string for your master password will be less secure than you expect compared to something using a modern KDF.

But he will have chicken.

Even better is when you restrict merges to trunk/main/master/develop (or whatever you call it) to only happen from the CI bot *after all tests (including builds for all supported platforms) pass. Nobody else breaks the CI pipiline, because breaking changes just don't merge. The CI pipeline can test itself!

Same, except ZFS instead of BTRFS for me.

And / is tmpfs, /home is tmpfs, /nix, /etc/nixos, /var/log, /home/$username/downloads, /home/$username/documents, and some other directories are ZFS subvolumes bind-mounted at boot. That's only an option for NixOS or Guix though, so don't worry about opt-in state on other distros.

Also Photoshop, along with DxO PureRaw.

My camera supports 10 bit/channel color. My monitor does too. GIMP only supports sRGB, so 8-bit color. It's unsuitable for editing, and even worse for printing.

This is only the case if you buy a phone from your carrier (that they've customized to disable hotspot without you paying extra) instead of from a phone manufacturer directly. Carriers doing that isn't as common outside the US, but it's not an inherently location-based thing. I'm in the US and (due to buying phones from the manufacturer) I can use mobile hotspot without paying any extra even though my carrier would normally require that.

Encrypt then sign. Always authenticate before any other operations like decryption. Don't violate the cryptographic doom principle.
