Can someone help, i have been having trouble connected with my home universities vpn, for past 15-20days, it is an openvpn connection, so i have been using networkmanager-openvpn to import my config files, and they have worked previously, but for last 15-20 days i get connection timed out, all certificates used are correct, i...
Your phone is fine with the new certificates but Linux on the desktop is not. #showerthought Would it be possible that both Arch Linux and Linux Mint have software upgraded that is causing the connection failure ? Could it still work if you would use an older LTS Linux version as live USB stick ? Or would the new certificates actually require newer software, like OpenSSL (which is I think a build dependency for OpenVPN) on the desktop ? EDIT: I guess the latter is not the case since Arch Linux is a rolling distribution. But you could ask your IT persons at the university whether they upgraded something ?
@mrcompletely
this was a #ShowerThought inspired by the observation that some people are drawn to correcting others in online forums.
Those same people may lean extra hard into it if the incorrect opinion-haver is of the same cultural background.
Tribes of people have origin stories.
Everyone has a cultural origin.
I think mine is sufficiently curious, emergent, and integrative that it enables me to empathize with more than most, including ruthlessly shitposting bad opinion-havers.

Imagine a social platform randomly and without any explanation assigned every user to a group, say group 1 to 4. I'm 99% sure it would take less than a week until the groups actually begin to develop distinct identities even though their members are random. Do you think meta would give me instagram for a few weeks to test this if I asked nicely? :blobcatgiggle:
#showerthought Wondering if generative art complaints about copyright infringement are not somewhat partially analogous to the complaints of the reuse of audio samples in the music industry.
In most cases (there are exceptions) I wouldn't be nonconformist by choice. Most of times I am too lazy and/or not organized, I am from lazy and not organized environment and maybe didn't have a chance to develop better personality. And I feel it especially in everyday life, small things. For example I try too keep shorter and shorter hair with time passing, to reduce "maintenance". And I like very much my small apartment, because cleaning is easier and faster. Yay minimalism! :blobcatmlem:
Last time I saw videos about gender nonconformity and read some conversations in this topic. I think I rather don't do "typical feminine things" especially related to "expression", outfits, etc. And it could be partially because I don't like doing things not making sense to me personally only because other people do them. And more important - I wouldn't do "standard" thing if that thing would require active effort from me. Most times I feel I don't even have enough energy and time for things I really want to do!

Probably this made me gender nonconforming to some degree as side effect I think. At least in "nonconformity by lack of interest" way. And for me this is similar for other #lifestyle choices, free time activity etc. Oh, and anti-consumerism is partially built-in :blobcat_amused:
No, I’m working on it since a week from scratch. Had a #showerThought idea and since also had some time I immediately started to realise it and here I am now :D Waiting for 300K pages to be crawled so I can add more sources there :D
What if we had an #ActivityPub federated app to take care of the social aspects of serving packages from self-hosted registries? And used a mechanism like #WebTorrent which #Peertube also uses, to distribute the packages?
#ShowerThought: Comparing #London's chaotic industrial revolution slums where #Marx wrote, to today's East Berlin urban #Communist utopias and its endless rows of public housing, it's evident that #Marxism isn't so much about "Power to the People" or wealth redistribution, as much as the deep German pursuit of orderliness
If it's called #X and the logo is an X, won’t people confuse it with a close button everywhere the logo shows up? And the other way round? 🤔 I wonder how many accidental closes there will be because people tried to “share something on X”. 🤣
Like Wikipedia now, but matter-of-factly describing things we take for granted now, that in the near future will no longer be.
Like #Space exploration and #Astronomy. Made impossible by greedy billionaires whose legacy is the #Junkosphere. A now familiar concept, has its own page..
Then VALVe would let them "use the SteamOS Devices Branding" and build a Steam Devices Ecosystem. Yes, it's basically the Steam Consoles all over again, but now that they've proven there:
is a bloody market
is a functioning market ripe for investment
is an appetite for SteamOS
They are in a FAR BETTER PLACE than, uh, "last time".
#ShowerThought. WhatsApp's concept of disappearing messages should really be the standard for emails in the workplace.
Granted, I'm not in this week and am missing the gentle flow of rubbish about missing students, who's not where and so forth, but on a daily basis, the vast majority of messages are irrelevant the next day. Even if 24 hours is perhaps not a wise yardstick, 3 days or a week would go a looooong way to clearing up people's inboxes.
If you have your “head in the clouds” you’re fanciful and out of touch, but if you “reach for the stars,” which are impossibly far away, you’re an ambitious go-getter.
#ShowerThought from my rigorous Moral Philosophy education (watching The Good Place) I am recognizing that video games encourage and rely on the desire for Moral Dessert. You can see the most basic form of this in XP rewards for completing quests or defeating foes, but also, here's where it gets weird, things like "visiting a room."
Is anyone working on incorporating #FuzzyLogic into #LLMs? There was a brief period in the early 90s where “#Neurofuzzy” aimed for relevance, but nets were still shallow and fuzzy logic fizzled (AI Winter? Used but no longer called AI? Not competitive with existing control system formalities?). My #ShowerThought is that FL feels like it’s differentiable (continuous truth/belief values). If true, might be suited for integration with statistical machine learning. #ML
