I just did the thing YOU NEVER, EVER DO.

I repeated a dd command (under doas to root) WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE DEVICE NAME.

FORTUNATELY, the only collateral damage was an unneeded 4GB file under /dev/.

PHEW!!!

P.S... do files created in /dev somehow make it to /, even though it's its own mountpoint? How does that work?

@RL_Dane Good habit: type hash and space, then paste the command line.

You'll be forced to edit it anyway.

@RL_Dane The space is optional, of course 🤷‍♂️ it helps readability.

I am loving this wholesale attack on Musk's X by continuing to call it Twitter.

I've been sucked into listening to cable news all day every day as background noise for the past 10 weeks.

Well, very rarely do people call it X.

This breakdown feels right about what people call it:

97% Twitter
2% X, the company formerly known as Twitter
1% X

Generally speaking, at least when talking about hobbies, I will be much more positive to your point of view, even if I mostly disagree with you, if you are coming forth with what you want to see than if you are complaining about what already exists. Regardless of your intent, the latter is yucking someone else’s yum almost certainly (and if not, you are attacking a straw man), which is a bad habit from other social media that we need to end.

@linnaeus It's easier to describe the sharp edges one wishes to avoid, than the space left between them.

Would you rather be alone in a Space Ship with Darth Vader or the Queen Alien from Alien?

Please support the your answer if you feel like it.

@RickiTarr Alien Queen.

It boils down to preferring a horrible end to horror without end.

There's a chance I can trap her in a cargo hold and let her starve or kick her into space with a power lifter.

Vader could mind control me to do whatever he wants until he tires of me, including not kicking him into space.

@yurnidiot I live close to this place.

Fun fact, the owner is a massive nerd and inside it's just plastered with photos of him at cons with various actors from SF&F films, including of course, most of the main Star Wars cast.

jens,
@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de avatar

@irina @yurnidiot It does, actually! The guy and his brother (I think) run it only for lunch hours, and it's so busy you have to order ahead. He preps in the morning, cook at lunch, you pick it up. Around 2 they close for the day. They provide a limited range, but what they provide is pretty good! Certainly beats the other lunch places in the vicinity.

You get to sentence Trump for falsifying documents in an attempt to hide his affair during a presidential election. Which is sentence is fair?

Normally first offenders do not serve any time for this crime. But those same first offenders normally plead out, and this may be why their sentences are light.

jens,
@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de avatar

@futurebird Irrespective of how reprehensible his politics are, I think faith in a justice system can only be granted if the most powerful are held to the highest standards. It is irritating how all too often, the most powerful receive the most leniency.

So he should get the maximum possible sentence.

That thing where your publisher sends you a congrats card for making an award shortlist. And it comes with a gift box full of amazing artisanal macaroons.

Which would be great if not for the fact that (a) I'm diabetic and (b) my spouse is vegan (hint: macaroons contain eggs, which are not vegan) and (c) spouse is also allergic to eggs.

(This is a subset of the "my aunt always sends me a pair of socks she knitted for Christmas, and they don't fit" etiquette problem!)

It's unnerving when you encounter car drivers that give more space to a cyclist carrying a propane tank than the one carrying a tiny human. 😞

I wish I knew how to fix this. 😩

@Pepijn Put a propane tank on the side of the child trailer.

I'm kidding.

But until things get better, I'm not. Go all mad max on your vehicle.

@aral@mastodon.ar.al avatar

I love that a multi-billion-dollar corporation like RedHat/IBM can ship an operating system with a broken screen reader in 2024 (it’s not just them, it’s true for basically every major Linux distribution today) and, when you point it out, the response is “it’s no one’s fault… it’s all free labour… it’s FOSS, man”. And then: oh, and this charity is paying for one person to work on accessibility support to be implemented now… Anyone else see how fucked up that is?

jens,
@jens@social.finkhaeuser.de avatar

@jalcine @kravemir @aral Well, I've had very different but equally shitty remarks from RH employees, so by now I'm assuming the entire place is a toxic shitpile.

I know that's not fair, FWIW, because I also had decent interactions, but as a company, they don't give a fuck. I complained in like five different ways, and nothing.

My complaint wasn't even that important, but it does prove a point.

@OutofPrintArchive It was a surprisingly great multiplayer game! The networking code sucked, but pitting teams of humans, aliens and predators against each other was excellent.

I loved in particular that as an alien, you could creep out of a dark overhead tunnel, and kill some lights. I had friends playing human marines that absolutely shat themselves when the lights around them turned dark one by one, until I bit their head off.

Consuming news has ceased to be something that can be done passively in order to be informed of the goings-on in the world. You have to watch your emotions closely. What phrase made me feel that way? What about it triggered that emotion? What other phrases were used to a similar - or different - effect? Who benefits from me feeling this way? Stripped of those particular words, what other ways can the events be described in?

Welcome to 2024, where news is a full contact martial art.

@meena Yeah, it's a much older game for sure. It just seems particularly bad this year.

One actor that ruins every movie for me is Shia LaBeouf. He finds out which cinema I'm going to and walks in, wacks the popcorn out of my hand down the aisle, starts screaming about an IMDB review I left on an Indiana Jones movie in 2008. One time I wore a hoodie and shades, bought the tickets at an internet cafe with a friend's card, made sure I wasn't being followed, got into the cinema, he was already there in the next seat waiting. He is a meticulous stubborn son of a bitch that Shia LaBeouf
