Palantir, which the US gov is now (let’s not kid ourselves, has been for some time illegally) contracting, probably already has your face either from street cams, security cams in various company buildings, or from social media at this point, so letting you ‘opt out’ is probably just theatre to avoid angering people at airports.

You’re such a cute chocolate bunny!

Now who’s that glum one on the left?

There’s a dedicated tool named sshguard which works nicely.

Madagascar’s always the hardest to wipe out in that Pandemic game, if that helps :P

If you go to New Zealand, you’ll have to deal with the shithead billionaires there who will have moved there a few days ahead of you, (since they’ll get extra warning of course), who will have moved already into the fortress-bunkers they’ve been making for a decade or so there.

It should be a life mission of anyone in New Zealand, when the time comes, to find out where their air systems reach the surface and throw a few grenades down the ducts. For the good of humanity (whatever’s left).

I had not heard of Jackett and to be honest haven’t really looked into aggregators. Will look into it, thank you.

1337x.to has good torrents/magnets in my experience, but def. use ad blocking. On mobile clicking almost anything tries to redirect or pop something up.

Dunno about docker setup, but I mirror github repos I worry may disappear automatically using my self-hosted gogs instance. (Gitea/Forgejo likely also can do it). It’s point-and-click, you just specify the github URL and check a box “this is a mirror”.

Neat, will try it out.

Has anyone written an android desktop search widget for it? A quick search only foumd one veeery old experimental project.

Absolutely – I hate how we’ve been raised to think of time in monetary terms; I have to remind myself on days off that “No, I do not need to do anything it’s my day off! I can sleep in… no need to be productive …”

Imagine the reduction in e-waste if everyone in high school took a short course in how to use a soldering iron, solder-sucker/braid and heat-gun to replace common bits in consumer electronics. So many things could be saved that get thrown out only due to a bad microswitch or cracked solder joint to a USB or headphone connector …

True. It isn’t always about a cost/labour analysis. Sometimes I want to repair something to learn how to do it. Sometimes I want to repair something because even though ‘my time is valuable’, I hate the idea of throwing out something I know will rot in the landfill for a thousand years. Sometimes I’m just attached to the thing and afraid I won’t find a replacement that is as good (which is often the case).

I hate our throwaway culture, it’s good to know how to fix things even if it isn’t technically ‘cost effective’ to do so.

If you can, add a 1-star review in Play Store for Google Maps while you’re at it. And a comment why.

Gulf of Mexico.

Oh, they know exactly what they’re doing. They are attempting (and apparently succeeding) to bulldoze their way through an administrative coup.

Your comment prompted me to search and I found this util: https://github.com/fumiyas/qrc

Obviously results in a larger ASCII blob than a shortened URL, but would allow use on any terminal.

Duh. yes my bad :)

I have a vague memory of that Flash TV series way back in 1990 or so, where Barry Allen has to eat like a dozen pizzas after using his super speed. It was a funny nod to the implausibility of superhero powers. How many burgers would Superman need to eat to maintain his metabolism?

I’ll look into those, thank you!

(I currently set up my APL keymap via .Xmodmap with xmodmap, and setxkbmap for X11 terms, and with ‘loadkeys’ for console.)
