I take my shitposts very seriously.

rtxn,

But how will people know I use arch btw?

rtxn,

If you are an arch user, like myself, you must announce it at every opportunity.

Also, mandatory GNOME hate.

rtxn,

The end boss is swallowing your pride and installing Debian.

rtxn,

I had dual boot with Win10, which I used for almost everything, and Arch, for SSH-able stuff for work and university. One day Windows decided to nuke both the EFI partition and Arch, which made Windows itself unbootable, so I just wiped the entire disk and installed Manjaro. Now I’m a sysadmin and I don’t think I could do my job if I had to use Windows.

Fuck Winget. It’s a GUI-only person’s idea of what a CLI package manager should be. The only positive value I can think of is that it’s better than not having one at all.

I manage about 500 Windows machines in a university. When teachers started complaining that they are unfamiliar with the paid version of an IDE, and we’d have to install the free community edition, I was delighted to learn that it was available through Winget. But privilege escalation on Windows is a fucking joke, so trying to install it remotely through Ansible/WinRM just popped the UAC anyway. I had to VNC into every single machine to click the fucking button. As an additional middle finger, winget.exe was not even in PATH when I tried WinRMing as the local admin.

Winget is the absolute nadir of package managers, and it should be doused in acid, burned, chucked in the dumpster where it belongs, and forgotten. Choco and Scoop all the way.

The worst parts of the animal that can’t be used in other meat products, covered in raw carbs, and of course, deep fried in oil. America.

(edit) I looked up some pictures, why is the bread so fucking thick? Is it supposed to absorb the oil or is that just a happy coincidence? Absolutely disgusting.

rtxn,

The two are not mutually exclusive.

rtxn,

You say that like grinding up and selling it as a meat-adjacent is the only possible use of animal remains.

You’ve missed a perfect opportunity for “through the magic of making two of them”

Deadly, horrible waste product that is processed and made so safe you can literally kiss it. But don’t let me get in the way of fearmongering.

If I’ve learned anything from Stargate, such knowledge leads directly to the ability to build self-propelled autonomous space mines.

rtxn,

My ancestors are smiling at me, imperial!

rtxn,

I love EAS messages. The first part is actually three bursts of machine-readable data encoded as audio, and it’s completely incidental that it’s such a freaky sound.

There have been incidents of EAS-equipped devices triggering an alarm because an otherwise benign broadcast transmitted a valid EAS message without the short end-of-message bursts.

rtxn,

I like the Thunderbolt 1000T, mostly because of LOCAL 58’s Skywatching.

Why didn't anyone remind me the dual booting exists?

I was talking to my dad yesterday and he talked about how he dual booted windows and Linux in his college days. I immediately left to download Ubuntu, I feel so dumb for forgetting it’s an option. I literally only use windows so I can play Fortnite with friends. PSA: you can have both Linux and Windows, or you can use a vm in...

rtxn,

Taskmgr will literally list that the OS is running in a VM. You don’t need a rootkit to detect it.

rtxn,

Be aware that Windows will snitch on you if you run it in a VM. I don’t know about Forkknife in particular, but if a game’s TOS prohibits it, or the anti-cheat is having a bad day, it might get you banned. There are ways to trick Windows into thinking it’s running on metal, but it’s always a risk.

rtxn,

please explain

If anything, it is the bicycle. No taxes, no license, no expensive vendor-locked repairs, all features perpetually unlocked, basically all-terrain, runs on breakfast and determination.

rtxn,

Take a look at the Pioneer spacecrafts’ plaques. NASA scientists have broken down our abstract expression of distance to language-agnostic universal constants. I refuse to believe that a space-faring civilization with friendly intentions wouldn’t do everything in its power to find a common language, no matter how far removed from their spoken language.

“Our communication happens through references to well-documented historical events and figures, but still uses the same vocabulary and grammar as the federation and most of the galaxy’s civilizations. Maybe we should share a short summary with the captain, to assist in establishing relations.”

“No! I wanna wrassle the monster like Darmok and Jalad!”

I gained a lot of respect for furries when they bombarded the twitter accounts of conservative dickheads with their presence. Not anything aggressive or directly harmful, just furries being themselves.

rtxn,

I’d trust an orangutan with a gun more than the NRA’s idea of a good guy with a gun.

rtxn,

This is what I use for switching: pastebin.com/J5VT03eq
It uses pactl (should work with both Pulse and pipewire-pulse) and KDialog to list available sinks.

rtxn,

If you open Emacs in daemon+client mode (run emacs --daemon once, then emacsclient to open the window), buffers that you open in one client will be available on all other clients, even concurrently. Judging from a quick test (on hyprland), it also seems to open the file in the client located on the focused screen, but does not automatically open a new client if there is one already running on any screen.
