Welcome to the garden 🎢
Please respect the rules 🎢
There are no dogs or ball games here 🎢
And especially no barbecues 🎢

neidu2,

Jail is where you’re held after being arrested.

Prison is where you serve your sentence.

Right?

neidu2,

Ah, OK. I thought Jail was basically just the holding cell at the police station. Can one go to jail even if it’s a conviction on a felony?

neidu2,

Obligatory: You should ditch windows and install Linux instead

Now, with that out of the way:
Sounds like a hardware problem. Is this a stationary or a laptop? How have you ruled out overheating? Keep in mind that there are more things than the CPU that can overheat.

neidu2,

Bring an emotional support clown

Technically no. He’s convicted, but not a felon yet, as that part enters your record on July 11th when the judgement is being made. So in the mean time, here are some correct titles we can all use:

Felon Elect
Presumptive Felon Nominee
Felony Frontrunner

neidu2,

I’ve used that type you see on the left there. They’re awful and dangerous.

It’s better to bring an adapter specifically made for the plug you have and the sockets where you’re headed.

When flat They’re mostly fine, but those β€œuniversal” ones have so little grip in them to cater to all plug types, that when wall mounted, the plug usually is left hanging half-inserted, exposing the live conductors.

Into the forest/mountain that is literally right outside my house. Harsh terrain that foreign agents won’t be able to traverse easily without local knowledge. With a five minute head start they’d have no way of finding me without dogs and helicopters. And even they would have difficulty navigating the terrain and local climate.

neidu2,

From what I understand, there’s nothing preventing him from running, or even winning, or even serving time while being president.

Politics aside, it’d be funny as shit if secret service had to undergo special training with shivs to protect him from prison gangs.

I never did the pledge. In fact, I never bothered to learn it.

PS: Never went to school in US

β€œExpecting vacancies” could be interpreted as an axe-related threat against some of the more conservative judges. I’m not 100% opposed to the idea.

neidu2,

neidu2,

Are there anyone who’s exempt from jury duty, for example because of their profession?
Would it be possible to have Judge Judy sitting in a jury?

Can I refuse MS Authenticator?

So my company decided to migrate office suite and email etc to Microsoft365. Whatever. But for 2FA login they decided to disable the option to choose β€œany authenticator” and force Microsoft Authenticator on the (private) phones of both employees and volunteers. Is there any valid reason why they would do this, like it’s...

neidu2, (edited )

Can you claim that you don’t have a smartphone? Then they’d either have to provide an alternative authentication method, or provide you with a phone.

I’ve been part of the Microsoft Bad crowd for well over 25 years now, but there are a few things that I will concede that MS has done well. Authenticator is one of them. I haven’t looked much into the privacy aspect of it, though.

neidu2,

Here I was thinking β€œoh please tell me she didn’t lose to a regressive GOP tool” but seing who she actually lost to absolutely made my day.

neidu2,

Every night before sleep when the existential dread kicks in.

neidu2,

Then Mother Theresa shouldn’t have falsified business records

neidu2,

Not with the anti-trans legislation the regressives are pushing through

neidu2,

Is gaming the main use case? If so, I think the distro won’t be the biggest performance factor.

If gaming is not the case, I would ask myself this question: Is a desktop environment a must? Because you’d be surprised by how much you’re still able to do without one.

neidu2, (edited )

In that case I’d go for something very barebone. Get a minimalistic debian up and running, and see how that works. There are plenty of lightweight desktop environments (to the extent some of them count as desktop environments), where TWM is an extreme example.

neidu2, (edited )

Same. I used mIRC back in the 90’s, but ever since I started dabbling with servers I preferred to have an irssi client running inside a screen session somewhere. Allowed me to catch up on things that happened while I was AFK, as well as provide some continuity while I was on the move and/or on a dodgy connection.

neidu2, (edited )

When I write important work-related emails, after I’ve finished writing I leave it open without hitting send, then go make myself a coffee or something completely unrelated to clear my head.

When I return, I re-read what I wrote and often find things that were written ambiguously, incorrectly, or outright weirdly. And with a myriad of spelling and grammar mistakes. Often I find that I forgot to include important points or information.

This gives me an opportunity to proofread before hitting send with semi-fresh eyes.

On lemmy, on the other hand, I find myself editing my own comment right after posting.

neidu2,

The latter. Damn autocorrect.

neidu2,

Last week I was peer pressured into trying out Helldivers 2 (yes, this is relevant, trust me), so I downloaded it, installed it, and fired it up with no issues. Set up my preferred control schema with no issues. Played the torturial with no issues.

Then came time for joining my friends in multiplayer. Issues! No matter what I did, I couldn’t seem to join them. Nor could they join me.

I verified the installed files, I tried to connect via my phone to rule out ISP issues, and I tried all of the different versions of proton, but the result remained the same. I simply couldn’t join my friends.

I don’t remember what caused me to go down the right path of troubleshooting, but I’ve always dosabled IPv6 on my linux installs. So I re-enabled it. The problem remained. Then I realized that I had it disabled in the kernel via grub command line flags, so I cuanged that and gave my PC a reboot. Success!

So, despite networking being a large (maybe even the largest) part of my vocation for the past two decades, last week was the first time ever I actually NEEDED IPv6.
