Look man some people, like me, are just bad at staying in touch, and greatly appreciate friends that reach out every now and then.

It should be easier to tell if people dislike you by whether or not they agree to hang out or not.

If you feel a friend should be texting you back more, just go ahead and ask why they aren't.

I mean I would take Minecraft, I have easily 1000 hrs in that game. Really doesn't belong in the pile tho

Good point. As long as those panties comprise roughly a cubic meter of volume, that should work

If you'll allow me to pedantically nerd out, they wouldn't sink but float on liquid mercury since its density is like 14x that of our body

Yeah don't shit on the people buying this, shit on the companies over-charging for it.

okay while typing this @thorhop@sopuli.xyz wrote a much better reply that also debunks the OP. Read that one

SSH (Secure SHell) is a protocol that allows remote shell access from other computers over network. It's quite secure, but not everybody may want sshd (SSH daemon) running in the background automatically.

systemd, by far the most common init system (first program that the kernel runs, which starts and stops your other programs), however, does run it in the background automatically now.

The way to disable this is neither through a simple command, nor configured in a simple config file somewhere in /etc/systemd/... , but instead in your boot options. Understandably, this feels dumb.

It's not really something to worry about for average users.

Denmark, like much of Europe, helped further US interests and imperialism, also in Iraq.

Imperialism doesn't require annexation.

It's neither, it's anti-imperial and anti-colonial. We don't need to establish moral purity before the global south gets to have basic international rights.

For me it clicked when I realized I don't like reading for fun/entertainment anymore. I can't put myself through a fantasy novel anymore, despite my love for the genre. On the other hand, I discovered that I love reading theory and non-fiction. I read more this year than the last five years. Naomi Klein, David Graeber, Ha-Joon Chang. I read while travelling, in the gym between sets, and before bed. Funny enough, most of the book rats I know don't enjoy these books at all lol

 

My parents are looking into getting their own NAS to replace iCloud. I don't really have much experience with that, and zero experience with apple stuff. They are also not very techy, but at least enthusiastic.

Can sombody recommend easy NAS products where you basically just buy a device, do some basic setup, and then it functions as your at-home cloud? I don't want to get roped into doing too much admin for them, but they do already have DDNS for some other smart home crap. Bonus if it's non-US tech.

Personally I run a nextcloud server on a VPS that I could expand, that's not quite selfhosted, I don't know if that integrates well with apple though, are they better off if I just onboard them onto that?

Cheers in advance

Hi, so I usually use the US/International keyboard layout (mobile/android,heliboard) However this doesn't let me write many European languages, even those using the latin script. It's honestly terrible. How do I get the Polish L and the C and S with an upside down ^ type thing on it from slovenian? halp

 
 
 

Hey, I've been hearing a LOT about the xz backdoor. Crazy story, but rather than reading 10 different articles about it from 3 days ago when the story was quite new, does anybody know a high quality write-up that has all the juicy details and facts? I really like in-depth guides that cover every aspect of the story.

Thanks in advance guys!
