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.

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,

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.

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,

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,

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?

misophist,

Marc Shaiman, composer for South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut, along with a whole lot of other great shit.

misophist,

It’s odd that people migrated from Firefox to Chrome in the first place.

I migrated from Firefox to Chrome years and years ago when Chrome was lightning fast with a bazillion tabs open and Firefox had some memory leak that forced me to reload a couple times a day. I have since moved back and realized all my old problems are no longer a thing, but I can definitely see why some would have made the switch and never tried moving back.

Do you mount an embedded Linux file system to the workstation and use your host scripts or do you SSH/SCP and deal with the limited shell commands?

I’m playing with a couple of routers and comparing proprietary to open source on the same hardware. I miss my .bashrc functions and aliases… and compgen, tree, manpages, detailed help, etc; the little things that get annoying when they are missing....

misophist,

I edit everything in my local copy of the repository and then push the changes to my devices with ansible.

misophist,

Making some prison hooch?

The cone is the logo for their most popular project (VLC media player), but this is a message from the organization as a whole, which has the logo you currently see. It is not specifically about that one project.

misophist,

I don’t think they were complaining about the design. It invoked a memory of a beloved video game studio from the past that had a similar logo (Westwood Studios) and they are a bit heartbroken. I didn’t take their comment as an actual complaint against VideoLAN’s logo.

misophist,

xjack is one of my all-time favorite programs.

misophist,

These down votes are lame. I disagree with you completely, but your opinion is still valid. I think after the original author is long dead, I’d like to see new perspectives breathing new life into old fictional characters. Otherwise, are you saying we can’t make new stories about Hercules, Odysseus, Jesus, etc?

misophist,

imply about their roll in the story.

The DragonBalls probably roll infinitely better than the lamp.

misophist,

Do you understand how averages work?

If there are 8 billion people on this world and each one has one skeleton in them, then the average number of skeletons is one. If even one of those 8 billion people have two skeletons in them, then the average is slightly more than one.

So the average is more than one for pregnant people, but also for all people as a whole.

misophist,

Easy way to remember: an alligator’s snout is rounded like the C in Crocodile, and a crocodile’s snout is pointed like the A in Alligator.

misophist,

Reminiscent of the old saying

when you sit down on a toilet, you’re connecting your butthole up to a city-wide network of connected buttholes.

misophist,

There are lots of tankies in the West. I interpreted the use of the Canadian flag in the comic to just indicate that it was one of those over-enthusiastic tankaboos rather than an actual Russian defending their own military strength. It could have just as easily been a US or Euro flag to get the point across. I don’t think it’s a commentary on Canadians specifically.

The Bechdel test is a famous test of film to measure whether a movie represents women as more than just accessories for the male cast. Specifically, the test is passed if a film features two women who have a conversation about something other than a man. Surprisingly, a lot of films fail this test.

The Ulvaeus test is a fictional test in the same vein named after Bjorn Ulvaeus, a prominent member of the band ABBA. Presumably, this test might be passed if a film contains a musical segment featuring the works of the band ABBA. This would be a clever pairing for this film, as ABBA has a song called Waterloo and the Napoleonic Wars ended with the Battle of Waterloo.

misophist,

But git is literally a word (and it’s pronounced with a hard G).

misophist,

Have you gone back to reddit since this summer? It’s noticeably worse. If we got the bad side, the other side is just as bad or worse.

misophist,

I’m surprised you don’t lose Unix certification with crap like case insensitive filesystem defaults.
