The paranoia in me wants to think that this an effort to make people forget that there are, in fact, a whole lot of people capable and willing to audit any kind of open source project at any scale. Like a new AI or similar…

Right after Wikipedia, it would be the Arch Linux wiki.

Holy shit. That is nutjob central.

My dryer is a Kenmore from the 80s. It is incredibly loud, and I have to push it back in place after every load. It has never broken, though.

That isn’t just some random ip, it looks like tucows.com but it’s kinda hard to read on my phone.

Totally unbodacious

You want a chair that makes it look like you’re about to lay off the bottom 10% performers.

I heard a piece on Here And Now today about a group of single issue voters in Dearborn that is actively working to disrupt and damage the Harris campaign. They are trying to get dems to vote for Stein.

Not software. Actual hardware hardware button.

I wish laptops were a practical thing when I was in school. I had a PDA and it was useless.

I learned to not have critical files anywhere but external storage. Completely wipe the OS, and the stuff I absolutely need is unharmed. Then again, there isn’t much at all that I have to keep.

This is a fantastic idea. Keep a config diary. I can imagine a teenager doing this and eventually getting in trouble with the law. Parents open the diary only to discover scribbled bash scripts in confusion.

For real, though, I’m going to journal it all and upload to NextCloud.

instructions unclear: hooked the power button circuits up to a car battery and caused 2 battery fires

I mean, snapper did its job. My hardware failed. I managed to get it going again by hammering the button with my finger.

How much did it cost? This laptop needs other repairs.

I can’t do the lid shutdown thing because the built-in screen also has serious issues. It is very finicky. I just use either the terminal or KDE’s built-in feature to do it. I’ve really put this poor machine through hell.

I did, by pushing really hard in random directions =/ I’m going to have to take it apart and clean things with a hope that it gets fixed. Until then, I’m going to have to only use sleep and not turn it off for real.

I still love the particular way that Garuda configures some things from the get go. I always knew it was Arch based and might break eventually. What I didn’t expect was the stupid power button deciding that it doesn’t want to work anymore.
