No, no, first you need to reroute, to be able to patch it through, and THEN you can override the command sequence in order to exploit parallelisms at the core root interface.

rtxn, (edited ) to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Get a chest freezer. It’s much more efficient for long-term storage than an upright fridge with a freezer because the cold air doesn’t spill out when you open it.

Toss your incandescent and fluorescent lights. Get LED bulbs (not smart lights, just white LEDs). Where applicable, install timer switches.

Fuck cars, get a bike. A simple, sturdy one, like an onafiets. They run on toast and determination.

Understand the difference between having enough money to buy something and being able to afford something.

Unsubscribe from music/video streaming services. Return to the seven seas.

Maybe engage in some light tax evasion.

rtxn, (edited ) to piracy in It seems so strange to me that we are locked in battle with providers mining our lives for whatever, and we have to work our asses off trying to stay anonymous, to the point of being denied service

Did you lose your ability to recognise sarcasm, or did it never develop in the first place?

Of course that’s not what he said, but the issue of web ads is much deeper than the ad revenue or no ad revenue question he is taking a stand on. It has been discussed ad nauseum by more technically minded people than him.

rtxn, (edited ) to memes in Standards shouldn't be behind a paywall

You’ve just become the nemesis of the entire unix-like userbase for praising the space.

rtxn, to linux in What's your favorite music player on Linux?

VLC when I’m listening to local files, ncspot for Spotify.

rtxn, to linuxmemes in Your ads dont work here, brand!

Privacy Badger, if you want to try to reduce your tracking data.

Privacy Possum, if you want to send bullshit tracking data to cost companies money.

rtxn, to lemmyshitpost in the weirdest part of the year

We currently exist outside time itself. No gods, no sins.

rtxn, to programmer_humor in Good luck web devs

Because It’s There.

To ensure the Unix-like standard of maximum backwards compatibility. Vi (the original, before Vim) was made in an age where computer keyboards might not have had luxury features like arrow keys, but did have alphanumeric keys and minimally competent users. It has worked for almost half a century, so unless you’re Microsoft, why would you change it?

Even today, many people prefer it because you don’t have to move your hand far away from the home row while typing or navigating, and the modality gives the user a much greater toolkit (seriously, I just about nutted when I discovered d i "). Not having to rely on modifiers and the arrow keys also reduces the risk of the repeated stress injury known as Emacs pinky.

rtxn, to selfhosted in Can I build a NAS out of a desktop? [Request]

Absolutely anything can be turned into a NAS, as long as you’re aware of your own needs and the hardware’s capabilities. A NAS is just a computer with some specific requirements.

When I first built my NAS, it only used parts that I got for free. A cheap micro ATX board with only two RAM slots, an i3-4160 CPU, 2x2G RAM, a worn-out SSD, and a 1T HDD. It couldn’t run something like TrueNAS, but it was enough for Proxmox and some Alpine containers running services like Samba, Transmission, Wireguard, and a small Debian VM for me to fuck around with. The single storage disk means there is no redundancy, so I only store replaceable data on it, like TV shows and installers.

There are many hardware-focused channels on video platforms that offer guides for budget home servers. Wolfgang’s Channel is good, and Hardware Haven and Raid Owl just finished a competition of building a sub-$200 home lab.

rtxn, to privacy in Dropbox is sharing users' files with OpenAI, here's how to opt out

Yes, it’s licensed under GNU AGPL 3.0.

rtxn, to piracy in Fuck Subscriptions. Here is how to setup Streamio like a pro

Don’t use the triple-backtick code block markdown if the text doesn’t contain code. Most markdown renderers don’t wrap overflowing lines and it becomes a pain in the ass to read. Use the > quote block markdown instead.

rtxn, to linux in LXD now re-licensed and under a CLA

I hate Red Hat as much as anyone, but X11 is dying even without them.
