misophist,

Yes. This is home-made out-of-band management, like HP’s iLO, Dell’s iDRAC, or generic IPMI. Not only is it a virtual KVM (keyboard/video/mouse), you can pass the host’s power button through this device so you can remotely power on or reset a hung or powered-off system, or mount and boot from a virtual floppy or ISO to completely reinstall the remote system.

misophist,

I wish! I’ve got the hardware to support it, but neither of the two ISPs available at my house support IPv6.

War on drugs.

War on AIDS.

War on middle class.

War on unbiased news.

misophist,

If parents can eat with you on your birthday, it’s probably elementary school, and the kids probably typically sit with their class. If a parent shows up for a birthday lunch, they probably sit them at a separate 4-top from the whole class, so they can pick 2 other students to sit with the kid and their parent.

In my kids elementary school, we just sat at the long table with the whole class, but I could imagine that scenario if the kid/parent sat at a different table. If you didn’t specify a couple of kids and left it as a free-for-all, there would be chaos.

misophist,

Are you trying to buy these sound effects libraries, license them, or steal them? Just because a company goes bankrupt or out of business doesn’t mean it’s properties become a free-for-all. Somebody still owns those rights.

misophist,

My seeding rules are simple. If it comes from one of my private trackers or it contains Shia LaBeouf, I seed it forever. Everything else is auto-removed from my client when ratio reaches 2.0.

misophist,

I use transmission, but share ratios are pretty common and I’m almost positive qBittorrent had the same options when I last used that one several years ago.

Look in your settings for “Set share limit to” “ratio: x.xx”

You can set a global share limit in your settings, and you can modify the setting for specific torrents when you add them or any time by digging into the torrent’s properties.

My defaults are to seed to 2.0 ratio, and when I queue something up manually from one of my private trackers, I manually change the setting for that specific torrent to permaseed.

misophist,

I use Private Internet Access (PIA). I’m honestly not sure where it rates on the “good vpns” scale, but I get port forwarding through open VPN on Linux and my connection is still pretty fast. It does what I need it to do.

misophist,

The first frame has a cocktail glass and one character holding a non-clear drink. Obviously not a gym. The drinks would indicate that it is a bar or a party (or even a party at a bar) and two outfits of wildly different concepts would tell the story that it is most likely a fancy dress party.

So I would assume fancy dress party at a bar, house, or other venue. I guess technically it could even be a party being thrown at a gym, but there are no contextual clues that would indicate that.

This won’t be the year of the Wayland desktop for me unless I can afford to replace my Nvidia card this year. I’ll never buy one again, but I’ve still gotta suffer with the one I have a bit longer.

misophist,

Oh yeah, I’m also keeping a eye on that. Every time I see nvidia pop up in my updates, I try logging into Wayland and doing my usual tasks. If it starts working, that’ll just let me extend the life of this card. I’ll probably still strongly consider switching flavors with my next card.

misophist,

Domain naming authorities require identification for the registration of domains. You cannot purchase domains anonymously. You can pay Njalla and they own the domain, and they’ll tell you that you can control it, but you have no rights to it in any kind of dispute.

misophist,

That’s not chili, I see beans, so it appears to be a bean soup or bean stew, but I concur, a bit of cocoa and/or a touch of cinnamon can really elevate a chili or bean stew.

misophist,

Today you learned! It’s always a wonderful feeling to learn new things!

Chocolate, cocoa, and cinnamon are flavorings and spices. Those are allowed in Chile. Chili is meat, tomato, onion, and spices. And yes, you can use chili as a base for a nice veggie stew with the addition of beans or q lot of other veggies!

Cheers!

Oof, cringe af, bro. Don’t be that person.

Everything about your comment is incorrect.

Chile con carne is the Mexican dish you are referencing. Chili is a beef dish that originated in Texas and does not contain beans or other starchy vegetables. Chili con carne isn’t a thing. You are confusing two similar things.

misophist,

Yes, chili is a fantastic source of iron, but many people don’t realize that bean stew is also very irony!

misophist,

Lady, I don’t know how to break this to you, but this is a shitpost community. There’s no room here for facts and logic. Touch grass.

misophist,

Honestly, a little grass makes everything better. I’m a fan of putting grass in brownies, but still, no beans, please.

misophist,

I’m not even sure if a sandwich is a sandwich.

misophist,

No. G-d’s resolution is 80x24. Because in the beginning, there was only the CLI.

misophist,

Is it? My local grocery store in small town America has whole dragonfruit in the produce aisle and includes it in their overpriced mixed fruit tubs.

misophist,

What, in your mind, does “working hard” look like? Do you think the average lower- and middle-class adult doesn’t already work hard? Especially harder than they did 20, 40, and 60 years ago? Can you name a time when you think people worked harder than they do today to achieve the same level of comfort and happiness? Do you have to go all the way back to pre-agricultural times?

Me vs my ISP

So I was looking into getting port forwarding set up and I realized just how closed-off the internet has gotten since the early days. It’s concerning. It used to be you would buy your own router and connect it to the internet, and that router would control port-forwarding and what-have-you....

misophist,

In my country, the ISP rents you a modem and router. I told them I had my own modem and router during setup and my monthly cost is slightly less than their advertised price.

I am fortunate that my ISP gives me a routable address, but it is still only dynamic and may change a couple times a year. I would have to pay for a commercial plan if I want a static IP. Some other local ISPs use carrier grade NAT, but you can still request a publicly routable static IP with a business plan. Maybe you can ask your ISP for that?

How safe is self-hosting a public website behind Cloudflare?

I work in tech and am constantly finding solutions to problems, often on other people’s tech blogs, that I think “I should write that down somewhere” and, well, I want to actually start doing that, but I don’t want to pay someone else to host it....

misophist,

I’ve been running a script every 60 seconds for 2 months now as a cron job and it still hasn’t been able to create a VM in their US datacenter. I just have a log full of “insufficient host capacity” errors.

misophist,

That’s fair. If you decide you want to identify your religion as Pagan, you are free to do so. It is much less fitting for our beliefs, tenets, and morals than Satanism, but may be a better fit for your beliefs.
