If you have multiple users writing to a directory, you should be relying on groups, permissions, and sgid and not care who the owner is.

Like seriously and I’m not even intending to be racist

(Though some smarmy asshole will for sure post this unironically thinking that they’re not being racist.)

The actual answer to OP’s question is to look up cognitive biases, and to eventually realize that “black” isn’t the relevant descriptor here.

FSD option costs $199 per month

Doesn’t matter how well it performs, this guarantees I’d never, ever use it.

Gatorz are tough as hell, and have some of the best polarized optics I’ve ever worn.

They’ll do lens replacements, and can make prescriptions as well.

Careful leaving them on a car dashboard though. They’re aluminum frames and I burned my temples once.

Your edit is a bad take. It doesn’t matter if he’s also selling shirts with MLK and Ghandi quotes. Nazi shit is Nazi shit. Doing Nazi shit, no matter what his own stupid rationalization, makes literally everything else he does irrelevant.

I’m surprised no one’s mentioned the security implications. Mounting with nosuid and nodev options can undermine rootkit or privileged escalation exploits.

  1. None of your business. This is case-by-case between said minors, their parents, and their physicians.
  2. None of your business. This is case-by-case between said trans people and their physicians.
  3. It’s not a zero-sum game. You’re not making poor people’s lives worse by ensuring that trans people have rights or vice versa.

Free tier is super limited and super easy to accidentally break out of. I had a single file in S3, but because my logging settings were wrong, I broke the free tier with junk logs.

The t2 micro ec2 instances are fine, but you need to be very careful about their storage and network egress.

Best use I’ve had for AWS that has managed to stay within the free limits has been Lambda. Managed to convert a couple self hosted discord bots to a few Lambda functions, works great. Plugging it into CloudFormation and tying up CI/CD with CodePipeline and the like were overkill but good learning exp.

I don’t think there’s any ECS free tier, but you can fit a private container repository in the free S3 limits as well.

The above is accurate, and can be considered accurate for any directory below or at well.

Per /run, it’s also mounted in memory, so trying to “declutter” it won’t get you anywhere and things will return on reboot.

nottelling,

You’re going to want to look up things like symlinks, hard links, fuse filesystems, and bind mounts among other concepts. Your “whole directory” and other duplicates are artifacts of how the filesystem and process management works, and simply running fsearch or find over them is going to be confusing if you don’t know what you’re looking at.

One Unix concept that carries over to Linux is that everything is a file. Your shared memory space, process data, device driver interfaces, etc, all of it is accessible somewhere in the same virtual filesystem tree as the actual files.

Because of this, there’s very little reason to have the whole filesystem indexed from root. If you’re worried about space usage, you want to work with packages through the package manager. If you’re worried about system integrity, you’ll want package validators.

nottelling,

Don’t “declutter” manually. Use your package manager.

nottelling,

Flatpak is itself a file manager.

That duplicate of your folder in /run is due to filesystem links (or more likely a fuse mount, I’ve never actually looked into how flatpak works). But either way, they aren’t copies of the data.

Man, I use my switch all the time. But I love little metroidvania and smaller indie and single player games. Any time I see something interesting on steam, I’ll buy it on the switch if available.

I’ve also been using it to replay older stuff. The first red dead, the Arkham trilogy, currently going through Nier: Automata again.

The focus on sales and deals and shit has been an attempt to compete with first Walmart and target, and then Amazon.

Used to be that department stores were where you went when you needed stuff. At one point, it was just where you went shopping for your general life. They tended to lower prices than boutiques through volume and you’d go to more specific, more expensive stores for more specific things.

Today, yeah. Why bother? You actually can find better clothes at Macy’s and Penny’s than Walmart, but you have to dig, and realize that the real Levi 501s are going to be $30 more than the modern Levi stretch fit trash. (And $30 less than buying them at the Levi store.)

A VPN is (in a generic, high level sense) a proxy. It’s just proxying layer2 frames, vs. layer 4 protocols.

So the answer depends entirely on the traffic and the architecture you’ve built to support it.

What are the craziest misconceptions you’ve heard about programming from people not familiar with it?

As someone who spends time programming, I of course find myself in conversations with people who aren’t as familiar with it. It doesn’t happen all the time, but these discussions can lead to people coming up with some pretty wild misconceptions about what programming is and what programmers do....

nottelling,

Function/class/variables are bricks, you stack those bricks together and you are a programmer.

I just hired a team to work on a bunch of Power platform stuff, and this “low/no-code” SaaS platform paradigm has made the mentality almost literal.

nottelling,

Or how about, rather than your narrow, specific 3 definitions, a fourth thing, such as how it’s phrased in the wiki:

Misogyny is hatred of, contempt for, or prejudice against women or girls. It is a form of sexism that can keep women at a lower social status than men.

The emphasis there is why you’re being called names on the internet. If you’re advocating systems or societal norms of gender oppression, you’re being misogynist. This remains true even if you’re not doing it intentionally.

The world we live in is deeply patriarchal, so it can be hard to see these problems, because the views and opinions you’ve got are just “normal”. Something being the norm doesn’t mean it isn’t oppressive, and having an opinion doesn’t mean you shouldn’t consider the impacts of that opinion.

Generally, if someone calls you a misogynist, and you go “bUt I rEsPeCt wOmEn”, you might want to take a little time to figure out where it’s coming from. It can certainly be real without fitting in your 3 tidy little self-serving definitions.

I’ll also point out that you can replace nearly every instance of misogyny in this thread with racism, and replace women with black, and it would be the same discussion. Or you could swap misogyny/women with misandry/men. Oppression is oppression, no matter who holds the power.

lol, yeah that went reeeeally well. “Banning” anything is the stupidest, least effective way of stopping a thing from happening.

en.wikipedia.org/…/Prohibition_in_the_United_Stat…

nottelling,

That’s literally what happened throughout the US in the 1920s.

I can make alcohol in a bowl on my counter with sugar, yeast, water, potatoes, and a couple weeks waiting. I can do it much faster and more effectively with a little copper tubing and some heat.

nottelling,

You should read your links.

The tl;Dr on that article is that the government is enacting a ban of some specific packaging under a lot of speculation that it’ll reduce kids access to alcohol and reduce underage drinking.

  • This ban is targeted at a specific target, focused on a specific demographic.
  • This ban hasn’t even been implemented, there’s no evidence of it being effective. Just "the government says it’ll work"
  • We have similar bans and controls on vaping and tobacco in the U.S. and it barely dents underage vaping and smoking. That’s pretty good evidence that this is gonna fail for the same reasons.
nottelling,

The word should is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Where’s the data? Right. There’s isn’t any. Revisit this 5 years after it’s implemented.

nottelling, (edited )

Seriously pal, read up on what happened in the US when we tried prohibition. Read up on prison economics. Alcohol is severely restricted in prisons all over he world, and most prisoners have no problems getting alcohol. The only thing that happened when we tried it nationally was we created massive crime rings, and the more of those that shut down, the more popped up.

How much can I make? I can get 55 gallon drums on Amazon. So 55 gallons, at least. I can fit probably 15 of those in my basement. So that’s 725 gallons at one time. Read up on bathtub gin. I’ve got two bathtubs. They’re probably around 20 gallons each.

If I was an addict? You literally cannot limit alcohol from people who want it, because it’s very easy to produce in very large quantities with very simple equipment. See also the wAr oN dRuGs and how well that limited access to pretty much every narcotic they attempted to control.

e: > If you are a addict you cannot go to the bar for drink.

Lol. Go look up what a speakeasy is. “Illegal” and “unavailable” are two entirely separate and unrelated concepts.

It just seems like cross-posting with more confusing terms for normal people.

What I’d really like is one single sign-on for everything that was federated to my original Fediverse service instance. I should be able to just go to some Pixelfed/Mastodon/Lemmy/etc instance, log in with @nottelling and I’m just magically makes me a user there. (Assuming instance permissions and federation settings and such, of course.)

I get it, account management and implied trust is hard to do. But that’s what this feature should be.

nottelling,

Yup. Treating VMs similar to containers. The alternative, older-school method is cold snapshots of the VM, apply patches/updates (after pre-prod testing & validation), usually in an A/B or red/green phased rollout, and roll back snaps when things go tits up.
