  • Those are pretty good examples. They are still not great places to go but they certainly suck a whole lot less than the others. Hell, even the weather is now being reported as entertainment.

  • Why couldn't a piece of space detritus hit Elon Musk? 😜

  • Hey! My first venture into the Unix-like world was on a Pentium 133 gifted to me by my 2nd cousin. He introduced me to the open source world via OpenBSD. OpenBSD will always hold a special place in my heart but I absolutely eat up anything and everything open source.

  • More to the point: where does anybody go for any reliable news? It seems like most news is now using hyperbole to make it entertainment. We have old man Rupert to thank for basically destroying a respected profession. That's my 0.02 anyhow.

  • I think people to the left of Democratic Socialists need to start reading up on anarchy and anarchism. It's not about lawlessness and disorder but about horizontally focused civilization. It's about anti-authoritarianism.

  • I think you will probably need more power than that. Would it be possible for you to host it on your desktop PC in a VM?

  • My memory was hazy. It's actually a CO2 trap. Propane trap would be no bueno! 😹

  • Ah that's right! It is CO2. My mind remembered it as propane for some reason.

  • Mosquitoes are attracted by propane gas or so I remember reading. There's a propane-based mosquito trap that might work. That said, I must be filet mignon to them because they will bite me even through deet.

  • That will work fine so long as you don't need services like Avahi and mDNS.

  • Yes, it does look stupid. I'd rather .lan just be reserved for private networks.

  • Ah that's a really good point. I will have to Google this so I can learn how it is done in iptables because I've only ever done it with pf on OpenBSD.

  • I agree on WireGuard. It's clearly the winner in terms of speed for point to point VPN.

  • Ah yes, I hadn't read quite closely enough. Still good that by adding a proper GPU, you extended the life of your system!

  • I haven't experienced issues with my Ryzen 7 5700 with the integrated GPU. I play Grand Theft Auto via Proton on Arch and it works well.

  • I don't like the walled garden that constutes the Apple way of doing things. I like to side load apps.

  • I'm not s fan of ranking distros. Choice in the GNU Linux ecosystem is a good thing. What works for one person does not necessarily work for all.

  • I actually use .lan for an internal domain but I guess I could use a real domain with the DNS-01 challenge and have real internal certificates. I had not thought about that until just now.
