From what I understand, “whispers” were what private messages were called on twitch. And it’s “then existing,” I don’t use twitch, but I guess it doesn’t exist anymore, that’s what they mean. Pretty poor wording though, don’t blame you for not knowing what the hell they mean.

The trending page is horrible on mastodon. I wish they’d implement some better discovery features, but the devs seem to think that a better user experience would mean they’re just as bad as twitter or something. I’m so rarely tempted to use it.

Whatever

Okay?

Windows for a long time before I knew what OSes were. I never liked how locked down MacOS is so I’ve never used that. Then I tried Ubuntu in college, mostly to play with. Then tried Arch, fucked up my system a couple times and reinstalled, then tried Manjaro because I’d heard it was more stable and less fuss. And now I’m back on Arch. I think I’ve finally mostly figured it out over the last decade lol, I haven’t had a problem with my install in years.

How about a discount for crossing their fingers and loading us up on a Boeing?

Great band though, you’ve got good taste

Well gee wiz, I sure hope you’re ensuring any and all of your electricity is coming from renewable sources without emissions. That coal stuff is pretty nasty! Otherwise you’d be a bit of a hypocrite every time you posted something here, wouldn’t you?

Traveled across the US by bus?! Sorry, I’m not interested in the opinions of mass murderers. I weep for your victims. Somebody bring out the guillotine.

And that’s a “no” on the full-time job, then?

Oh gee I wonder what the fucking answer might be

By the way, busses create greenhouse gasses. If we need to get carbon emissions to zero, and you take the bus, by your own logic, you are a murderer. Stew on that for a bit.

Bike trip would take weeks, bus trip several days, have you heard of the train system in the US? And if it’s across land, well, guess I can’t take a boat! Guess what that leaves?

What would you suggest in this case, o’ paragon of virtue?

Do you have a job? Is it feasible for you to ride your bike for weeks to get to commitments? Or are you, as the other commenter said, speaking from a very, very privileged position?

No shit, Sherlock. What are you actively doing to accomplish that?

This is you, by the way. Really helping the cause by being a toxic ass on the internet. What a visionary. I’m not taking responsibility for the structure of society that got rolling years and years before I was born. I’m also not going to cut ties with family and friends and ruin my own life for the sake of preventing the very, very little that I’m actually contributing to greenhouse gasses. Fucking cope, and find a new angle. You’ve got the wrong guy. You’re lucky I’m not the type to associate your behavior with all environmentalists. People seem to be agreeing with me that this misdirected virtuous hero act isn’t working for you.

Way to dodge everything I said, hyperbolic virtue signaler. I hope you’ve never been a passenger in a car or a plane, else you’re a massive hypocrite too.

Holy shit the melodrama. Focus this energy on somebody who actually doesn’t give a shit about the environment. Maybe not, y’know, someone who just has to get to a couple fucking weddings and flies coach. Would you like me to refuse to go to the weddings on the grounds of the climate? I’m terribly sorry that my entire family and everyone I know doesn’t live within walkable distance, that’s really my mistake. If you think I’m a murderer, then how about you act like it and come get me. Act on the terrible crime you apparently think I’m committing instead of this virtue signaling garbage. Moron.

I’ve got both Samba and NFS set up. I’d say Samba is the most versatile, just because more devices are bound to be compatible with it out of the box. I have an app on my phone I can use to connect to it, for example. And it obviously works with Windows machines. NFS is very simple to set up and nice and speedy. But I only use it for a couple permanent shares for specific things between Linux machines. You could always use a mix. I have a directory that’s shared with both.

I’ve never configured Kerberos I think, might’ve tried once in the past. From what I understand it’s a pain to set up and really more useful for enterprise environments. But could be fun to configure if you’re into tinkering with that sort of thing.

I said “this year”, and I’m flying 4 times. Lots of people who need to travel for work do more than that in a month. Relax.

God dammit dude why did this have to be the year that I’m doing a lot of flying

90% of the time when I see someone swerving in traffic because they’re blatantly staring at their phone, it’s somebody 50+ years old
