I just have my Xfinity modem in bridge mode. They looked at me like I had two heads when I asked if they could tell me how to do it at the counter but it was trivial by searching the model number.

*our shit, comrade

Sure looks like I can get an Uber in Minneapolis today. I can’t get past the login page to see if I can actually request a ride but the web page is still there, indicating that Uber is still in Minneapolis

Debian testing on a MacBook Air 6,2 (2013). I guess that’s kinda weird. Works fine as a netbook: Firefox, Thunderbird, TigerVNC (handles the low resolution well) and SSH. That’s all I ask of the thing and it works fine. The only hardware that doesn’t work is the webcam, everything else is 100%

It was a free hand-me-down and I put a $45 battery in it so I can use it on the couch. I think what will kill it is when the proprietary charger dies, they cost more used on ebay than the battery did.

The OS is in between the service and the bare metal. Something like OPNsense can be said to be running on bare metal because the OS and the firewall service are so intertwined. However, something like firewalld isn’t running on the bare metal because it’s just a service of the operating system.

That’s how I understand it anyway, I’m not a pro

but the UI is substantially better than Android

For children and drunks, maybe.

For someone in Russia, the impermanence might be a desirable feature. I mean, there’s always still IRC but Discord is all the rage these days.

Get off my lawn.

I would loathe permanent DST.

I work construction and for the past decade or so the General Contractors have only been paying the electricians to install “life safety” lighting. Basically, it’s enough light to navigate the hallways and especially the stairways. We are on our own to light any other areas. This is why nearly all construction workers now wear headlamps, it’s dark as shit in most of the site.

So, we just had the DST change obviously and now I have to use my headlamp for about an hour every morning even if I’m next to a window. The latest sunrise in Denver would be something like 0815 if we were on permanent DST. That’s two full hours every morning for at least a week stumbling around with a damn headlamp.

Detroit’s latest sunrise would be 0850, I think. That’s insanity. I feel for the people that are stuck in the 8-5 office grind and want to walk their dog after work but damn it would be a huge PITA for anyone who works at 0600. I don’t know if I could take it.

“As funny as this sounds, several years ago, I was walking in a Veterans Day parade, and a veteran … that was watching the parade, an older gentleman, gets up from his lawn chair – he actually walks into the parade route, shook my hand and said: ‘Before I die, would you end daylight savings time?’” Lankford recounted.
“He said: ‘I hate it. I’m in my 80s. I want you to get rid of daylight savings time before I die.’”

…

Lankford’s bill would eliminate the time change by making daylight savings time apply year-round in the US.

So basically Lankford is bragging that he wants to do exactly the opposite of this (probably fictional) constituent actually wants. They don’t grow 'em too smart in Oklahoma.

Colorado House Bill 21-1229 is law here now, maybe your state can pass a bill like it too?

I’m all-in on trying to ratfuck Trump so I’ll be voting in the ® primary

Know what else is ridiculous about it? The Trump administration banned bump stocks in December 2018. Not Congress, the ATF did it. Under Trump.

Biggest federal gun control move since Clinton’s assault rifle ban which was done through legislation.

Not the bump stocks though, Trump took those from the ammosexuals and you don’t hear shit about it anymore.

They are (I) voters that are likely to vote (D) in the general and there is a serious attempt to ratfuck Trump in NH by getting these left leaning (I) voters to vote Haley in the ® primary.

So… this fake robocall is an Uno reverse card ratfuck trying to get those people to stay home.

So a poorly wrapped burrito is sushi but a properly wrapped one is a calzone. th’fuck?

Or Coloradans shooting Texans at the Oklahoma border.

That little panhandle that Texas had to cede in order to join the union as a slave state could be the DMZ.

A boy can dream, I suppose.

OK, but only if it’s like May or June. No one needs that shit in February.

Yes, food hole and air hole should be separate

Saying the quiet part out loud again. Forced relocation through either terror or expatriation is Ethnic Cleansing. Ethnic Cleansing may fall under the Genocide Convention.

WTF?

I’m all for spreading the load of handling these migrants around the country, Texas cities shouldn’t have to do all the work and they certainly cannot do much of the work without government support in TX.

So… now we have migrants all over the country but are they expected to return to TX for their immigration hearings? The US govt. needs to figure this shit out ASAP and have the hearings transferred to where these people are.

Zionism has had a long and troubled history by this point, and I don’t even know much below the surface. I’ll tell you right up front I view Israel as an apartheid state and I’m not even a leftist. It’s just right out there in the open, for anyone to see.

Here in the US, we have a Christian Nationalism movement that would love to set up exactly what Israel has in “The American Redoubt”, also known as “Greater Idaho”.

Fucking terrifies me and my property isn’t even in their sights for conquest. Building a nation state along ethnic or religious boundaries is wrong in my opinion. I hold that opinion because I’m an American who believes in immigration, mixing of races, and freedom for all. Just the phrase “Jewish nation” makes my skin crawl.

quick edit: of course, all the ethnostates surrounding Israel are immoral in my view also.
