LastYearsPumpkin,

Ehhh… I wouldn’t go so far as to call him apolitical. I used to watch his stuff, but he’s drifted pretty right over the years. His stuff used to be pretty neutral, but since he started his book publishing, and the WWSD rifle project, he’s just been slipping right wing stuff into his content.

It doesn’t show up in the mainline informational videos too much, but his ad pushes and his side projects, which also show up on his main youtube channel, definitely have slid downhill.

Damn, I was going to post this list, you beat me to it though.

I love that whole maths group, Brady Haran, Matt Parker, Hannah Fry, James Grimes, Ben Sparks, Ayliean MacDonald… (and so many more.)

As soon as I get a notification that a new Numberphile video drops, I’m watching it ASAP.

LastYearsPumpkin,

He used his power and position to take advantage of an intern. Maybe you should care.

Most people that make it to the level of a president have done really shitty things, while this one wasn’t at the top of the list, it’s still pretty bad. Sucks that most of the hate and jokes were pushed towards the victim instead of the perpetrator.

What search engine do you recommend that isn't Google or Bing?

I’m still trying to de-Google my life, little by little. I don’t trust Bing for similar reasons. DDG is feeling shady of late. What’s the search engine you all recommend that I can inject into my daily life? Is there perhaps a search engine that is focused on code, or have we just all moved on to AI for searching?...

LastYearsPumpkin,

It used to be Google search without the extras.

LastYearsPumpkin,

It’s Linus Torvalds. He invented Linux and it’s his baby. He’s doing it because it’s his legacy, and he cares.

He’s probably never not working on it 24x7x365.24

LastYearsPumpkin,

Go ask highschool teachers in 1990 what they thought. It’s the same shit every generation.

Does Less Consumer Tracking Lead to Less Fraud? (www.eff.org)

The highlight of the research is that Apple users were less likely to be victims of financial fraud after Apple implemented the App Tracking Transparency policy. The results showed a 10% increase in the share of Apple users in a particular ZIP code leads to roughly 3% reduction in financial fraud complaints....

LastYearsPumpkin,

Yeah, depending on what you use SSH for, the top two pictures are switched.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Well, with multiple users you’d need to decide what the use case is for the whole NAS and then work down from there.

Are you sharing everything in the NAS with everyone? In that case your NAS setup is fine, just a little permissive, because with RW to everything, the end users can break everything.

If it were me setting this up, I’d have different mount points for different users. 1 mount for each user that only they can read/write (not even you should be able to see it), and 1 mount that everyone can read/write, maybe if you want to go a little bonkers, 1 mount that everyone can read, but only you can write to.

Then you’d mount those three to separate mounts in your /media, and you can link them from your home directory for specific use cases.

Obviously this is completely overkill, but you can take the parts that sound appealing to you and ignore the rest.

LastYearsPumpkin,

A backup is an emergency protection, not a primary plan. This attitude is dangerously close to making the backup a critical part of their uptime.

LastYearsPumpkin,

How many users are there?

Is there a chance that the computer will boot without access to the NAS (aside from failure conditions).

Are you doing anything with ownership to prevent reading, or changing, sensitive files?

LastYearsPumpkin,

Our local garbage goes to a local landfill that’s properly maintained.

There’s a lot of problems with consumption, and plastics especially need to be phased out, but some areas do handle waste responsibly.

LastYearsPumpkin,

The original article mentioned “softcore” porn, like old school cinemax movies where it’s porn, but thinly veiled into an actual movie.

Not like hardcore 10 minute porn movies, just semi-skeevy smut that you’d rather not have other people know you’re watching. (50 shades?)

LastYearsPumpkin,

You seem to have added a comma, that changes the whole meaning.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Yeah, cause software never has a weird bug like that.

Also, it’s a joke.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Digging through the back catalog for this one.

LastYearsPumpkin,

It’s one of the last of the laugh track comedies. Wondering what kids of the future are going to think about shows like that.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Ever is a very long time. We have the technology today to build a colony on the Moon and on Mars.

When something is a science problem (i.e. - warp drive) we might never achieve it, because it might not even be possible.

When something is an engineering problem (i.e. - just bigger rockets) we ALWAYS eventually get there. It just takes a small group of people with the right motivation to get it done.

LastYearsPumpkin,

There was a time when space was not mostly empty though. That’s what the cosmic background radiation shows us.

LastYearsPumpkin,

Left. Widescreen monitors make a task bar at top or bottom take up too much real estate.

My beagle has suddenly started resource guarding random stuff. What should I do to get this behavior to stop?

I’ll start off by saying that he has a bad past life. He was obviously abused by his previous owners and straight up abandoned in the woods. He has bad anxiety that he is on Prozac for, and it seems to be helping for the most part....

LastYearsPumpkin,

You are getting some dangerous advice in this thread that can make things worse.

You already have a bite, that’s a huge sign that you have escalated past the normal behavior stuff. Talk to a professional, talk to a local organization, like the local humane society, respected training center, or your vet, and get some real advice.

Pushing back and acting violent towards a violent dog can get you hurt and the dog put down.
