Short and missing the end?

Rofl... I'm a patient person and even I don't have the patience for that

Edit: I take it back, as @schmidtgenetics suggested, I tried it in my current book, that was annoyingly closing itself all the time, at around 10 pages a go, and it does work really really well, and only toook 1 or 2 minutes.

So, thanks for the tip, I'll be doing this going forward!

Whatever you decide. If other peoples behaviour is making you question living (e.g. corrupt politicians) I'd recommend stopping having other people's behaviour be part of your reason to live.

Find your own reason, anything, collecting every stamp ever printed in 1954, whatever! We all die in the end, the important thing is to figure out what you like doing while you're here and then do that for as long as you're enjoying it.

I mean, the reason can be bringing about political change if you want, just bring that inside you and your control and act on it, the reason should not involve other people (although it can if they consent, e.g. my wife and I currently have the project of raising our son and buying a house, and that's our mutual project at the moment).

I could be wrong, but I think OP wants to connect from his terminal to avoid suspicion

I grew up playing a mud called discworldmud, it's an entire multiplayer world that's still really active and entirely text based and entirely free. You should check that out. Plus Tintin++ to connect from your terminal ;)

Though I read that study was skewed by the average age of people that can afford to live near a golf course. They didn't compare like for like in terms of health (as I recall anyway, open to correction!)

I feel like frame 3 should be clean shaven and frame 4 captioned "everything, right?"

Ah, interesting. Thanks

Unless I'm missing something here... The attacker needs to be running some sort of executable in your network with permissions to:

  • dig the records and assemble the strings
  • write the decoded result to a file
  • make that file executable
  • execute that file

You've got bigger problems than hexadecimal txt records in this scenario...

The only difference between this and a GitHub gist appears to be that security software doesn't scan traffic in port 53... It easily could be configured for that though surely... It's just UDP traffic like any other.

Someone tell me what I'm missing!

Native English speaker here. This is incorrect, the "n" is added for phonetic help "a elephant" involves an awkward break between the two words, so enter "n" to help mouth muscles work around that.

This is the same reason for weird artifacts like: "a unicorn" because unicorn starts with. "Yoo" sound and so mouths don't need the help of the "n" to break up the awkwardness.

 

Hey everyone,

I have a gaming laptop with fedora installed and in general have no problems with it. However I would like to play some games on it from Steam.

So I installed the Nvidia drivers and when the laptop is not using an external monitor it's great, the games performance are 10/10.

However I most often use my laptop plugged into an ultrawide monitor and when I do that with the Nvidia driver active all sorts of strangle artifacts show up on the screen and the edges go blue and shudder, this slowly gets worse over the course of about 15 minutes until I cannot use the laptop at all and need to reboot.

Using the built in drivers the ultrawide monitor is completely fine, but games run very poorly.

Does any one have any experience with this, and any idea if there's something I can do to correct it?
