"No damn cat, and no damn cradle.”

My IT experience is fading fast so can anyone explain this bit?

block the access of users connected via VPN

I’m running a Digital Ocean droplet on the other side of the Pond with my own, static IP. How could a site detect I’m using a VPN? Imgur blocks me if it’s on. How do they know?!

“Brains are survival engines, not truth detectors. If self-deception promotes fitness, the brain lies. Stops noticing—irrelevant things. Truth never matters. Only fitness. By now you don’t experience the world as it exists at all. You experience a simulation built from assumptions. Shortcuts. Lies. Whole species is agnosiac by default.”

― Peter Watts, Blindsight

I collect Casios. Most get into my hands with dead batteries. Never had issues fixing them up, so I’m not sure what you mean by “disposable”. All standard screws, pins, etc. ?

Look, I hate pigs with all of my soul. I have suffered at their hands, many, MANY times. But that was a one-off case. A case 25 years ago.

Yes, I know, you’re so smart for digging that up. I got cookies? Want a cookie?

EDIT: No one got a rebuttal? No one can say I’m wrong here? Isn’t that something. Going on your gut instinct? Like anti-vaxxers?

So? Don’t fucking buy it! Has that never occurred to some y’all? If the rest of the world had my purchasing habits we’d already be looking at Depression 2.0.

Lemmy celebrates ANY thing not mainstream.

Also lemmy, “FUCK YOU FOR USING A WEIRD LETTER!!!”

Sxan should come out and say, “I’m a trans, queer, neurodivergent, furry, drag queen communist with Tourette’s Syndrome, ADHD and autism, so I have to replace ‘th’ with ‘þ’ or I’ll suicide. I like pictures of little girls in sexy attire. It’s ANIME, you wouldn’t understand. And if you could mix animals into my sexy anime? Perfect! Also, I have stuff up my butt 24x7.”

They’d be the most popular person in this place.

So? Lemmy?

This may not suit you, but for me and my skills, it’s a perfect Photoshop clone. All in the browser! Blows the doors off Gimp anyway.

Kinda gathered that bit. 🙁 I may install it and try to track exactly how that flow works. Anyway, seems an easy way to bypass the UK’s block without hassling with a VPN.

I’m in Florida. Fire up my VPN to surf porn. But that’s not a thing I want running 24/7, let alone just to browse lemmy.

If OP is asking such a question, y’all are probably making your answers too complicated.

Unmanaged switch: All the ports are equal. Plug anything in anywhere, it works, done.

Managed switch: There is a world of options to control how data moves in and out of those ports. You can really go nuts!

Your basic home or business user only needs an unmanaged switch, good enough.

A home user that wants to learn, build a home lab, managed switch. A business with more complex networking and security needs, managed switch.

As to the expense, managed switches are stupid cheap on eBay. If you want to experiment with networking, that’s the way to go.

One more funny note, if you end up with a managed switch, but don’t need or care about the options, reset to factory and it’s now an unmanaged switch! (You can still program it of course, but you don’t have to in order to make it fly. Just plug stuff in.)

Best is possessing both. Get. On. My. Level.

Who would have to know what? Foreign actors hardly require the administration’s permission to engage in propaganda.

Ran Linux as a daily driver, many versions, on and off, for 20-years. Over all, it’s a pain in the ass. Built several “little old lady” laptops for charity customers. Linux works a charm if all you need is FaceBook and email!

It amazes me that lemmy evangelizes Linux, then posts 100 comments about how this, that and the other Linux OS sucks, has security issues, how theirs is superior, and “why doesn’t my $peripheral work?” And the answers are always the same, "You just have to $directions.* I don’t need $directions for my shit to work on Windows.

Want to see how to collect angry downvotes? Visit a post talking about how Microsoft is doing some evil new thing or how they’ve broken a feature. Merely comment this:

“I don’t have that issue. Never seen it.”

No rebuttals, no nothing, just “fuck you for saying so”. Angry new atheists.

^ See what I mean? No one could possibly have issues with Firefox! You’re doing it wrong!

Active Directory is a monster. Got downvoted to hell the other day for saying there is nothing out there that comes close for managing a fleet of machines. Most of the idiot arguments revolved around thinking AD is fancy LDAP.

“Linux and Mac can do authentication!”

If one’s view of AD is that limited, we’re not having the same conversation. Cross connect AD with Powershell and Hyper-V, you have a robust ecosystem for enterprise. And there are zero issues with running headless Linux servers on Hyper-V.

I have an AR-15 and armor piercing green-tips. Weird enough, I only have the green tips because they were the cheapest option at the time. At 100’ they drill press a perfect hole in 1/4" steel.

They’re gonna fuck local cats, make hybrids until they’re regular house cats again. Not seeing the point?

I could make that exact comment on every single post in here.

“I’m SPECIAL! I’m NEURODIVERGENT!”
