Legend says he can identify the usable IP range before witnessing the subnet mask.

Three notifications on the hour and one five minutes ago, sounds like he’s a two pump chump and on round 2.

Pound-seconds, I believe. Good ol’ LM giving imperial numbers to NASA.

No, this is how we discovered fusion.

Still Beans face is 99% of the reason for even using the meme. Without it the image just looks like two people sitting side by side instead of the cheating.

He used to be a straight up IT support style channel that had a bunch of useful information about troubleshooting and configuration.

Now it’s just “watch us build our 5,837th gaming PC from Wish.com!” He’s officially gotten to the point where he has more money than ideas.

If you ever go into the desktop to do anything at all I’d say you’re getting the Arch Linux experience.

Exactly, people don’t seem to understand that our intelligence/problem solving ability is based on two major factors.

1. Our evolutionary lineage, pattern recognition and instinct, etc.

2. Our nurtured upbringing which creates the “training data” we need to accomplish specific tasks. Even if that upbringing isn’t holistic it would still require a significant amount of training to do anything programming-wise that the “three minutes and a coffee” side of the panel is completely ignoring.

Without these a human is useless, we have training data as well, it’s just organic and learned over a lifetime in addition to the billions of years of life evolving on this planet.

Growing will also bring an increased attack surface and justification for writing malware for Linux due to market adoption.

It’s not all good, there is going to be an increased security vulnerability along with it.

Shouldn’t be forgetting for one off scripts either, if that’s the logic you want to go with.

The tool exists, either you do it or you don’t and end up getting an error until the interpreter hits that line. It’s just the nature of being compiled at runtime.

ProtonUpQ hell yeah

In the military when learning ORM we called this the “swiss cheese” theory.

The more layers of sliced swiss cheese, the fewer holes that go all the way through.

Yeah like JFC the most insecure way to access the Internet let’s just open it up to the whole world.

Sir, this is Lemmy. People treat the applications and hardware you use with ethical alignment and switching to FOSS literally has approval on the level of religious conversion.

It’s no wonder people around here care so much about random people’s opinions, the place practically filters for it.

I didn’t say group 2 did it accidentally, I said they pretend that the specific skillset required to install Arch via terminal somehow means they’re certified professional IT.

All you know is how to use a CLI specifically with Linux syntax, that’s a good start but it’s somewhat like pretending you’re a mechanic because you know how to change a tire.

The issue is if you tune them out what’s left? It’s most of the content here.

Hell just the other day there was a “what new tech thing have you done this year?” And 95% of the responses were just some variation of “Installed Mint/PopOS!/Endeavour and started using Firefox.”

Like it’s great that you’re making the transition, but I was hoping to hear what new self hosting service people got working on their home server, some new residential network installs for security platforms, etc.

Not just “I changed browsers.”

Fabric friction creates static charge, so it would be worse.

Would they? Arch users strike me as coming in two flavors.

1. Competent users who have a significant amount of IT knowledge, that happen to enjoy an incredibly lightweight Linux distro which is fully configurable. This group is akin to a racecar driver with a project car in their garage.

2. Random people who lack basic knowledge but drink whatever Kool aid they’re given, and just happened to fall into a FOSS community where that Kool aid was Linux. They install Arch because someone said it’s the best, and their ability to do so gives them an air of superiority and the belief that they’re competent like group 1. This group is more like a teenager with a KIA, who believes their glued-on hood scoop gives them more horsepower.

Due to social media the second group far outpaces the first. So I’d wager most of them don’t even know what the acronym ESD stands for, let alone how grounding works in basic electrical theory.

Department of the Delta Quadrant?

Anti cheat is the biggest obstacle now, can’t overcome that and if you and your friends enjoy playing together on a game that doesn’t support it then you’re SoL. Unfortunately only 75% or so of the games my friend group plays are compatible.
