I just wanted to confirm from our meeting just now, did you want me to (some crazy shit that could cause problems)?

[help] I think I messed something up in the router settings but cannot understand what... now I have no internet connection

Hello! I (tried, at least) converted an old laptop to a Debian home server, and I was trying to set up duckdns.org and to enable port forwarding on my router. internet connection was working, I installed packages, docker, immich, etc, and then suddenly (I don’t know exactly when) it refuses to connect to the internet. It does...

Does ping 8.8.8.8 work? (To check if it's DNS)

What's ip route show say? (Just to try to narrow down whether it's an issue with the server's config or the router's)

What's traceroute 8.8.8.8 display?

Is it possible to use Google Drive reliably?

I’ve been using Google Drive in Windows for about a decade and have a good workflow. I recently transitioned to Linux but cannot seem to reliably connect my drive to the filesystem. My work provides unlimited Drive space and since it’s for work I have shared directories with coworkers that I need access to every day. Hence,...

Is gcs-fuse not suitable? I haven't used this but I would guess that it works fairly well.

My bad, you are correct. For some reason I misread.

There is google-drive-ocamlfuse. Personally, even though the article recommends rclone, I would have started with ocamlfuse; something about the whole interaction with rclone seems flaky-sounding to me (the fact that it's not just fuse commands, but this whole other tool you have to interact with for doing stuff like 'ls' just seems weird). But like I say I have no real experience to be sharing; this is just me searching + sending to you.

I kept looking at that too. It's crazy to me that there are only 2 cycles in the graph and one is the big accidental one. It honestly makes me think that either something must be wrong with the data, or it's reflective of some deep principle of math or sexuality (e.g. that people won't fuck around within their close social grouping nearly as readily as they will with people on the outskirts of it).

Aaaahhh got it. So the whole issue was my lack of paying attention. Makes sense.

Red Hat was the corporate distro, Fedora is the casual version of it

Yeah. I spend a majority of my working time on a slightly-unreliable Wifi network, and getting irritated that my keystrokes are lagging by some seconds and making it hard to e.g., edit the line I'm editing, is a daily occurrence. I literally had never heard of mosh before today, and when I tried it it was like the heavens opened up.

When you push up, up, Ctrl-A right right right, you don't have to sit there for 5 seconds and wait for the machine to decide it feels like fulfilling your request and showing you where the cursor is now so you can get on with what you were doing.

If you're not on flaky wireless networks a lot it might not be a huge difference, but from my experience today it was a big difference.

I still remember the professor in my networks class explaining how TCP worked, and then saying more or less:

Why doesn't it send a detailed mapping of which sections of the stream have been received and which haven't, allowing retransmission of only the dropped packets instead of what it does which is just backing up and blasting a whole new window's worth every time a single packet is dropped? Well, I don't know. It'd be a little more complex but the improvement in functionality would be so obviously worth it that it should. Don't know what to tell you. Anyway, this is how it works...

Haha no problem. Yeah, Ctrl-A, Ctrl-R, Ctrl-K, and Ctrl-right/left are godsends for mucking around in the terminal, in case there were others of those you didn't know. Probably there are lots more but those are the ones I use all the time.

74 characters, but 203 bytes when they're UTF-8 encoded. My guess is that someone wasn't careful with (or had some technical reasons for) counting UTF-8 characters versus counting bytes, and taking away the last character brings it to 199/200 bytes and it fits into the field again.
