I call it IBS Preparedness

Well SOMEBODY shouldn’t have put it there

Thats so fucking funny, this came up a few days ago for me after I came across this:

Haven’t tried the other two, but I would say yes if you do roguelikes. The physics and reactions are the half of it, the wandbuilding mechanics let you build some completely bizzare and powerful wands, and with a little luck can start getting a godrun fairly quick… but you’re always vulnerable.

Highly recommend going in blind, there are a lot of secrets to find, different sidequests, etc, winning the game once is a milestone.

Rage-inducing Noita is my cup of tea ☕

+1 for Proxmox, has been a fun experience as there are plenty of resources and helper scripts to get you off the ground, jellyfin was the first thing I migrated from my PC, hardware encoding may give you a bit of a tussle but nothing unsolveable. Also note Proxmox is Debian under the hood, so you may find it easy to work with. I looked into unraid, it seems great if all you’re doing for the most part is storage, if you want Linux containers and virtual machines, proxmox js your bet.

I got a small 4 bay 2U server from a friend on the cheap, 1000$ should get you relatively nice new or slightly older used hardware. Even just a PC with a nice amount of drive bays will get you started. And drives are cheap, a raid 1 setup was one of the things I did.

In the end I’ll likely get a separate NAS rack server just to segregate functions, but as of now I simply have a Proxmox LXC mounted to my NAS drives and runs samba to expose them.

Tailscale is a nice set and forget solution for VPN access, I ended up going the route of getting an SSL certified domain and beefing up my firewall a bit. The bit I’ve messed with it it certainly has a learning curve greater than openvpn, but is much more hardened and versatile.

As for pihole, I’ve found AdGuard Home to be just about a suitable replacement, and can be installed along openwrt, though I have a bit of an unconventional router with 512MB of RAM so YMMV

Don’t forget that its much more effort than teaching a child, sometimes no matter your words, the machine can be stubborn. It is a very difficult and misunderstood profession, sometimes my head aches a little from typing the same thing over again, expecting a different result. But together we will hallucinate the future, engineering one word at a time.

We see you liked getting dicked down by your employer, and we also have a new compensation package for you

Well that means they havent shoved it down your throat… yet. Just waiting for copilot windows explorer AI to automatically post what porn you’re watching to LinkedIn for better networking

That means you’re a normal person who does not actively engage on LinkedIn, wear it as a badge of honor.

On the contrary, use that shortcut and see how long your brain can last scrolling through upper management feelsgood and ragebait post, it can be a fun drinking game

Oh dont even get me started on modded Minecraft, I’m really not sure what makes it worse for alt tabbing over just older versions, maybe its just selection bias, but it’s like one mod can decide that it no longer wants to go fullscreen, and I don’t think its fabric/forge

KSP was another one that was just kinda finicky, I think it got better with patches

Make sure to check LinkedIn daily using Ctrl+shift+alt+win+L for better job opportunities! Keep using chatGPT and you may just win an unpaid internship at microsoft!

You may find the need for 3 different aspect ratios, just to be sure you’re doing the whole user interface thing right. Judge if you like but here I still need to have multiple workspaces and stacked windows, so clearly the extra retail space works. Or its obnoxious and I’m merely coping.

Also fuck games that still dont work with alt tab in this day and age

I got a 1U 32GB and a 4 core Xeon for 20$, you just have to make at least 3 more posts

Gramps needed his excel icon - on the monitor I might add - or else. Debloat and activation scripts got him his windows 7 and office 2007 experience back, he was very appreciative of my “hack”, merely for the same experience he paid for back some 15 years.

He doesn’t know what a “Linux” is, but I am greatful that people are still invested enough to make utilities to return back to a more user centric experience in windows - even if I certainly don’t care to go back

Appreciate the further reading! It’s been a fun rabbit hole and as I see it just keeps going.

Being newer to all this, I’m very hesitant to fully open to the public, especially security wise, as I don’t think too cautious is a thing. What are maybe a few things you had wished you’d known from the start? And pardon me if you have a good read I haven’t gotten to yet 😅

Edit: just read your importance of security post, that’s quite a fright! Thank you for posting of such an incident, it’s invaluable to have mistakes to learn from

Just getting started in my first year of having a homelab running, I really appreciate little insights like these as I am still fairly without direction in the field.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on activitypub and how that may affect personal networking and connectivity in the future, as I see you have your blog tied to your instance, maybe a general guide for some footsteps to follow. Cheers!

Tl;dr : yes they are limited in their access to the rest of your PC… mostly

From what I understand, when such anticheats are configured for Linux, they’re still running in the user space and is why some developers go as far to disable support for Linux entirely.

You, the privileged user, unless logged into the root user (not recommended), are part of the “sudoers” group, which allows you to execute commands on behalf of the root user using the “sudo” command which requires your password. Games should never need this to play.

This however doesn’t mean the AC is sandboxed, its honestly beyond my knowledge exactly what it does have access to, but I can say it is far less than what Windows kernel AC has. And again why developers feeling the need for such intrusion simply pull away from linux

Don’t forget AdGuard for all those pesky smart devices!

It alone is blocking almost a 3rd of outbound traffic from TVs and such that unfortunately can’t use ublock

Ah that sounds interesting, I took a full stack web development one. We just blazed through the fundamentals of JS before landing on MERN architecture the last couple weeks of class, my class of 28 was reduced to 15 by the halfway point, then 10 by the end.

I certainly dont feel ready for the field by any means but I’m still yet to send it. I would honestly consider a class over managing a freelance business, but I’d be afraid it would pan out how yours did
