  • Article author struggles with clean links

    The pioneers of this dirty business were overwhelmingly founded by ex-Israeli signals intelligence personnel,

    That's interesting. Must be a coincidence.

    and related Clinton-era initiatives, like the failed Clipper Chip program, which would have put a spy chip in every computer, and, eventually, every phone and gadget:

    "Don't worry, guys we tried to backdoor all devices but failed, see?"

    Meanwhile, Intel ME, AMD "Secure Processor", and ARM "TrustZone":

  • Just traveling between the different megaregions in the US often feels like traveling internationally, but without the hassle of passports and borders. They speak the same language and literally inhabit the same country, but everything just feels different. I can't quite place it.

  • Running software designed and compiled only for XYZ system is always going to incur overhead when translating or emulating to ABC system.

    Game authors and publishers who only build for Windows are giving users a big middle finger and essentially saying "You must suffer through Windows in order to enjoy our product hassle-free lol".

    What worked for me (which may or may not work for others) was to wean myself away, at first with only playing games that were built natively for linux.

    Then moving the line in the sand to only DRM-free native linux builds.

    Then advancing to only open source games.

    These days, I just don't even play games and I find that it really frees up what kinds of things I want to do on my computers, such as daily driving exotic CPU architectures (and also I have so much more free time for actual meaningful pursuits like learning new skills).

  • WafflePwn's brother (the kid who tried shoving a remote up his ass because of Warcraft account cancellation) actually documented a true and genuine freakout. The parents forced the older brother to produce subsequent videos as a means of making it look like they were just making candid freakout videos all along, in order to protect the younger bother's shattered public image (and probably social life).

  • Super simple.

    pass list existing passphrase pairs

    pass insert $SERVICE add new passphrase pair, substituting $SERVICE for whatever resource you're saving a passphrase for

    pass $SERVICE print stored passphrase for $SERVICE to stdout

    You will need to configure gnupg key pair before using pass, if you haven't already.

  • There comes a point where one realizes that those around you cannot be relied upon to leverage solutions. Psychopaths get ahead because they're willing to play dirty. So much of the world can be summed up as large swaths of population being induced to behave or think certain ways by psychopathic manipulators.
