Your Most Frustrating Configuration Experience?

Jump

  • If you connect to the network and open firefox, it will display a toast to open the corresponding captive portals page. You can then login through that. Given that your VPN isn't blocking unencrypted connections etc.

    Extrapolation of partial knowledge warning

    I assume the network advertises a captive portals url and identifies you based on your MAC address.

    The config is server-side (router).

    • What's going on today that you wish you could have a little help with?

  • ELIZA is an early natural language processing computer program developed from 1964 to 1967 at MIT by Joseph Weizenbaum. Created to explore communication between humans and machines, ELIZA simulated conversation by using a pattern matching and substitution methodology that gave users an illusion of understanding on the part of the program, but had no representation that could be considered really understanding what was being said by either party.

  • Good morning ELIZA, it has to be very hard empathizing and communicating with everyone if all they don't keep the conversation going.

    • Do you selfhost your own blog/website?

    Jump

  • yes: sntx.space, check out the spurce button in the bottom right corner.

    I'm building/running it the homebrewed-unconventional route. That is I have just a bit of html/css and other files I want to serve, then I use nix to build that into a usable website and serve it on one of my homelab machines via nginx. That is made available through a VPS running HA-Proxy and its public IP. The Nebula overlay network (VPN) connects the two machines.

    • There are sane people with this many VMs on a personal machine, right? RIGHT?

    Jump

  • What do you use it for? How's the daily-driver experience?

    • Yazi - Blazing fast terminal file manager written in Rust, based on async I/O

  • Git integration support was added three weeks ago in 0.3.3 ^^

    You still have to install it manually, but it will be a default plugin in an upcoming release.

    • About that...

    Jump

  • So, you're saying that people driving automatic cars crash more often than manual transmission drivers?

    (Ignore the people that shift into reverse at 180km/h)

    • without saying how old you are, how old are you?

    Jump

  • That wouldn't be called a euphemism. At least I hope that's the case...

    • "i never used a computer again"

  • This might very well become a setting for an upcoming P&P Campaign from me.

    The hook: You have been mysteriously receiving packets by a host calling itself

    <the-connochaetes>

    . The packets hint at the existence of an "ΛℵϚ∃⌊ζ" cult running large scale brainwashing schemes. Will you heed the call and free the world? Or will you use the chace to increase your influence? It all starts with you joining this IRC:

    <REDACTED>

    • type the distro you use and is and let your keyboard finish it

    • What is something you SHOULD cheap out on?

    Jump

  • I like this approach, it reduces waste significantly.

    Jump

  • I mostly agree with that, I would even go as far as saying that the reproduction quality starts to plateu with good $100 devices. A vast majority of the audio recordings isn't just good enough in quality for a good headset too make much of a difference. All of the music if you're using spotify xD.

    That said, I don't have a lot of things, but I consider the outrageusly expensive Sennheise IE 600, I typically wear 10h+ daily, worth it.

  • Do you have to replace things with broken, End of Life or dying cells often?

    I notices a lot of things falling into planned obsolesence because "it's rechargable" and you can't replace the battery.

    • I keep replying to myself

    Jump

  • I hope you reply less than 1.0 times to your own messages on average.

    • They are surrounding me... is it time to give up?

    Jump

  • This sounds like a horror story to me.

    • Whats your go-to naming convention?

  • Is something like this defined in a standard somewhere?

  • Thats what I do as well. It makes it easy to seperate between logical units.

    • You are given an opportunity to hard reset our universe (particularly, the Earth). You are also allowed to change one rule about the new universe. What rule would you change?
