timicin,

i have a single box i use for data storage; backup; wifi; router; and switch.

it runs ubuntu on the bare iron with

  • a windows 10 kvm/qemu vm with pci pass through on wifi to get 1 gig wifi speeds on intel in ap mode (intel won’t allow it using linux drivers)
  • a pfsense kvm/qemu vm for router & firewall to internet and with pci pass through on a 1 gig nic to gap the internet from the base ubuntu
  • dns & ip masquerade along with kvm/qemu based sofware defined networking for windows, pfsense and ubuntu to forward all wifi and cabled network through to internet and
  • connected via 3 gig nic and switch for much faster local data storage and backup on the ubuntu install.
  • vpn and remote backup using pfsense for access to my setup from anywhere else in the world. (eg routing traffic from the office to my home connection for personal use and access to my data)

topographically, it looks like this, but in reality it’s all one box:

the windows driver allows for full wifi-6/7 speeds in ap mode and is the only way, afaik, to get it with intel cards

there are other efforts to backwards engineer or hack the changes that disables higher speeds in ap mode for linux; but none worked when i tried about 10-ish months ago. i tired these ones:

jeffgeerling.com/…/wifi-6-gets-134-gbps-on-raspbe…gist.github.com/…/290b1b83b17f51355c63a97df7c1cc6…askubuntu.com/questions/1163145/…/1163146#1163146

and if you don’t have a windows key like me, do yourself a favor and create a windows image instead of a vm and keep re-using it to get around the windows validation setup timeout after 30 days. (i didn’t realize this until after the fact so i had to create a work around with ansible to stop/copy/paste/launch the vm every 30 days)

People from a minority/dying culture, how do you feel about it?

There are many cultures around the world that are suppressed by majoritarianism. They have to face challenges like forced assimilation, language discrimination and refusal to acknowledgement of their unique identity. In fact, many cultures have been identified by UNESCO, that will soon cease to exist - either that they’re...

timicin, (edited )

intellectual pursuits combined with recent-ish DNA test revealed to me that i’m from a very recently dead culture (american yaqui & tarahumara) whose very few aware decedents have been fighting tooth-and-nail to re-cultivate it by patterning themselves after their nearest cousins (mexican yaqui & tarahumara) along with a recent recognition from the american government for the pascua reservation in arizona.

they were literally wiped out by the pogroms carried out by colonial settlers in the american southwestern united states during the 19th and early 20th centuries and it was merely the imaginary line on the map called the mexican border that allowed anything from the culture to survive at all.

if it weren’t for people who rejected colonialist narrative of indigenous people happily becoming mestizos (or americans with Cherokee princess great grandma’s); there would be nothing but a fringe belief and, if it weren’t for DNA tests that heavily bolsters it, that fringe belief would continue to wane into nothingness.

you’d think that 2/3rds of your DNA being tied to a group of people and their genocide occurring less than 2 generations ago would ensure that something of that cultural inheritance would survive, but I’m living & breathing proof that the colonial narrative is MUCH more powerful than any heritage as the older generations of my family continue to strenuously reject both the science and the lore of their true roots.

timicin,

like kissinger, i’m sure he doesn’t give a rat’s ass about the damage he’s done

Bluesky is finally open to everyone. But will anyone come? We ask its CEO. (www.businessinsider.nl)

Graber is “optimistic about human potential, even though I’m realistic about human nature.” When Bluesky launched last year, it filled a gap that was desperately needed by people who were looking for alternatives to X, as it seemed like the ship formerly known as Twitter was possibly sinking. (Against all odds, it hasn’t...

timicin,

i’ll chose it because reddit is a cesspit and the fediverse has very little content.

timicin,

he’s always has been and will always be an establishment democrat who used to dunk on minorities for easy political points like trump currently does; but people do their best to whitewash his past to differentiate him from trump, making the farce more noticeable to people to pay the slightest bit of attention.

legalizing weed would give him an easy victory and the fact that he won’t do it proves his establishment democrat character.

timicin,

most catalonians and basque don’t think so

timicin,

both the basque and the catalonians have sought independence and were brutally pushed down by the conservative governments of the very recent past. the current left leaning government has made concessions to keep them on board; but the voting trends for the last 15 years makes it crystal clear that the conservatives will be in power again and both the catalonians and basque are well aware that the the peace will expire in the next election.

timicin,

it gives me so much pleasure to know that yours is a minority viewpoint on the fediverse; perhaps you should go back to reddit, or facebook, or whatever group think hole you crawled out from.

timicin,

it depends on what you mean by “corporate space”

end users of any type don’t use linux because of a mixture because that’s what they’re used to using; but end users can’t do shit w/o the service backbones which are dominated by linux and depended upon by end users.

timicin,

You weren’t hoping that Secure Boot saves your ass, were you?

i wonder if containerized firefox (eg snap/flatpak) will

timicin,

fwiw: you do get to hear a little bit of ferengi in this episode, before they get their translators fixed

What distro would you recommend for a 32-bit old Acer One laptop?

It's an old model (Acer One D257) Processor is Intel Atom. Memory is 1GB DDR3 with 320 GB of HDD. I currently Have MX 21 running on it, but I need to reinstall because I forgot the root password. Since I'm reinstalling the OS, I thought I'd ask here for recommendations for an OS that makes the most of this oldie.

timicin,

either that or damn small linux

timicin,

checkout out the treball channel on youtube; they did an entire one hour episode on the differences. tldr: they’re all extremely minor and there’s lots of them.

Holy fuck Culber… Hot damn.

i almost ran into the actor in new york back in 2008 on my bike while crossing the roosevelt bridge because he was shirtless and i was too busy staring at his very prominent pecs to watch where i was going; so agreed, he could definitely get it. lol

i think he looked back at me too; but i suspect it was to wonder wtf was wrong with the fat guy on the bike. lol

timicin,

i always felt that one of the awesome things about the show was how ftl was considered antiquated technology and that, besides the military, only the older and the nicer ships had them; while the newer and much more common average ships didn’t

something about a society that is both capable of traveling through the stars and has collectively forgotten where it had originated from in the galaxy; but widely considers both unimportant is super fascinating to me.

Cheney: We're Sleepwalking Into A Trump Dictatorship - Joe.My.God. (www.joemygod.com)

“He’s told us what he will do. It’s very easy to see the steps that he will take. People who say, ‘Well, if he’s elected, it’s not that dangerous because we have all of these checks and balances,’ don’t fully understand the extent to which the Republicans in Congress today have been co-opted. One of the things...

timicin,

You are probably right.

Definitely right; she didn’t start criticizing trump until January 6th; well after he lost the election in the previous November

Made the switch to KDE

I’ve been using Fedora for a couple of months now, and have been loving it. Very soon after I jumped into this community (among other Linux communities) and started laughing at all the people saying “KDE rules, GNOME drools,” and “GNOME is better, KDE is for babies.” But then I thought, “Why not give KDE a try? The...

timicin,

i started using kde once personal computers became beefy enough to handle it well around 2002 but switched to gnome because gnome felt more polished at the time and i recently switched back and, you’re right, the customize-ability is impressive after using gnome for the last 15-ish years.

it’s also daunting/frustrating at times too.

timicin,

Bester was actually simply evil

evil with the friendliest smile and demeanor; pleasant evil like biden. lol

The Washington Post is very worried that American women don't want to marry Trump supporters (www.dailykos.com)

In an editorial published last week titled, “If Attitudes Don’t Shift, A Political Dating Mismatch Will Threaten Marriage,” The Washington Post’s editorial board points out that political polarization in this country has reached the point where it is now a prominent, often decisive factor in determining who Americans...

timicin,

white women are probably the largest group of women and since a majority voted for trump; there’s at least one group of women that’s okay with trump supporters.

timicin,

in the fall of 2002 the windows millennium installation on my computer broke, trapping an entire semester’s worth of work on the hard drive and i was a starving college student with less than $20 to my name, so i couldn’t afford to buy windows xp and didn’t know anyone where i could get a pirate copy from.

i bought a mandrake linux cd pack for $8 from circuit city and used google in the computer laboratory to learn how to mount the hard drive, install drivers for ntfs and copy my all my work to a usb drive and i’ve been using linux ever since. i switch to 100% only linux both professionally and personally sometime around 2010.

timicin,

if you’re referring to this templos; it’s still linux

timicin,

i’ve seen others try, but the fediverse lacks reddit’s niche groups so the content seems to get ignored by the general/generic loving fediverse crowd.

timicin,

my idle time is the 10/15 mins between tasks and i retain less than 5% of anything i read within 15 minutes of reading it.

timicin,

as i mentioned earlier: that content gets ignored on the fediverse, not a single upvote
