Someone out there probably had a whole lot of fun with this and only needed to “make it an ad” to justify someone else putting the money into printing and publishing.

Oh, reading a manual is a very involved process for me. First, I’ll put the task in my bullet journal, then I’ll postpone it to the next week, then to the month, then to the next month. And then, if I feel lucky, I’ll bring it back into my daily log, and postpone it a few more days before getting annoyed with writing it down so many times that it could fill a full page, and finally reading it.

All those safety warnings are useless nonsense, until:

This vacuum is not water resistant and no part of it shall come into contact with water. Do not operate this vacuum on wet floors.

Wash the infuser with water or coffee machine cleaning powder only. Do not wash with soap. Every 6 months, relubricate the seals with food and water safe silicone grease certified with NSF/ANSI/CAN 61 and NSF/ANSI 51.

Well, good to know.

Yup.

What even is your problem that you’ll get worked up enough to spend energy spreading misery over some tiny annoyance from some internet stranger? Do you get pleasure out of that? If so, for shame.

When I get annoyed by some internet stranger’s conduct online, I don’t engage. I disengage. Life’s too short to get worked up over the little things I find, and we’ll all feel better when we don’t engage in that negativity.

Yes, I’ve blocked people without ever saying a single word. Sometimes while lurking, I’ll find some conduct (not beliefs, conduct) that I disagree with. I don’t then go on and admonish them, I make them “disappear” from my life, then go on thinking about what I should eat for dinner.

Yes, deleting all the old backup Linux kernels was something I had done before in a 128GB SSD. I then had to delete the Time shift entries as well to actually get that space back.

Yes daddy!

Yeah, I really have put too much time into replying to all these based solely on a hypothetical. But I did learn something from all these comments (technical something, not me being an idiot), so it’s all good.

Cool. My mesh doesn’t have that though (I think?). But admittedly that’s a tangent. If IPv4 ever depreciates, I’ll have to toss my mesh anyway.

Or I could also just edit /etc/hosts if I’m just accessing stuff from my computer. I mean, I understand there are ways around this pain point. But, on IPv4, I wouldn’t have to do anything? Can’t really beat that, right?

Happy birthday! 🥳🎂🍥

… Can’t believe this thing is literally older than me…

No. But if this is true (which I do doubt completely, Linus can’t be this dumb to singlehandedly cripple his OS), this should also affect every intranet address.

The current description of IPv6 intranet is just ridiculously dumb anyway. Should I want to ssh into a local device, I’ll have to type in for example fd9e:9aa0:c00f:1::a, with only the fd part being the same for all intranets rather than 192.168.1.10 with 192.168 generally always being the same.

Edit: wait… Are you telling me to set DNS redirects on all my local devices? Yeah, that’ll work, but why the even…

Well I’m not going to switch away my perfectly functional mesh routers that uses IPv4 as using IPv6 on a local net that I may sometimes need to type in manually is rather stupid. And that would also bin my routers, so I’m not doing that either.

Oh well, I guess it’s been fun guys, no more Linux for me due to potential future security issues.

Leave me alone. I have enough drama from my job already, I don’t need more outside work hours.

It’s been so long ago, how I missed Tokyo.

You too LadyButterfly.

You’re doing great work @LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone! Keep it up!

For me, it’s less about spending money to “pay to win” your way to a higher skill level in a sport via “equipment doping” and more about how much more enjoyment you can get out of it. Below a certain grade and quality, equipment starts to actively get in your way compared to a comparable fairly priced alternative. I’m not going to completely overspend on it, but if I’m not otherwise strapped for cash, I’m not going to grit my teeth and bare it. You can always earn more money, but you can never get your time back. And life is just too short to be cheapening out your experiences like that.
