One of the fun parts of being a #Linux mirror operator is that you get to deal with China Mobile using ISO download mirrors to fix their traffic ratios with other ISPs at peering points.
Looks like they've moved to using Slackware now...
@kwf I know quite a few mirrors who’ve already noticed this and taken action to ban the IPs as of 12 or so hours ago. Was slowing things down for many users of these services.
@passthejoe I had half setup Hugo and started using it for a hot minute, never migrated site to it but it’s still on my agenda, some day. I just read about TinaCMS the other day, and I can’t even look at it, because I don’t want any ideas. Ideas are bad news. 😂
@ernie I was today years old when I realized not only is Winamp still developed, but it’s also available for iOS. But does it work with the NSF plugin I’d so dearly love to use with it? Probably not. But I’m not nearly enticed enough to download… 😂
@ernie I seem to be the only iOS user, but my Home Screen is pretty plain, if anything moves, I lose my mind. There’s 3 more pages of apps tucked into folders, but we won’t show that absolute nightmare fuel of disorganization. 😂
So, when I was growing up, students at my high school described the devil horns hand gesture—i.e. 🤟or 🤘, sometimes 🤙—using the word “boggs.” It was used essentially the entire time I was in school by most of the male student body, and I have no idea why they described it with this word. I have never heard it beyond my high school days.
Does anyone know why “boggs” was associated with this symbol?
Incredibly often, it seems that Safari fails to load a website. It happens both on my Mac and iPhone and has been happening for a long time. I think this has to do with my WiFi, but I fail to see anything unusual in my Ubiquiti setup.
Anyone seeing similar issues with Safari, or is this some issue in my Internet setup?
@simonbs I rarely use Safari in my Mac but this hasn’t happened to me on iOS. But this does happen constantly to me on Epiphany on Linux using WebKit-gtk and it drives me crazy. Generally I stick to Firefox unless it’s iOS because this issue happens far too often and I hate losing my place or work flow over WebKit issues.
#Xfce never let me down. The stability and usability really is from another world.
You can throw any workflow at it and it will not stutter, hang or crash.
Just the right thing for any Sysadmin doing work. 🙂
Combine this with #Debian or any #BSD and you got a match made in heaven 😎
If I wanted to re-live an alternate childhood and experience the SNES/TurboGrafx/Neo Geo classics, on the couch, which way should I go? Analogue Pocket or Steam Deck OLED?
I like the idea of FPGA emulation but that screen looks so tiny…
@Fleedar@paul portable sure. He asked for things he could play “on the couch”. Buying the attachment to enjoy a Pocket on the couch is another cost. Plus games, flash carts, controllers, and all that. MiSTer also has these extra costs but all these things depend on what you already might own. In the end, they are both expensive toys marketed with tons of ways to spend more money on them.
About a month into my daily-driving Linux experience and I gotta say I’m quite happy. I have made a few changes with my setup that have made it a really good fit for my needs.
@ernie aren’t we all? ;) what Linux distro have you fallen for? I’ve always been a Slackware guy, but dabble in CRUX as well (when I’m not using a Mac anyway).
