No most millennials are also too lazy because they stopped giving a shit about computers when it stopped being a requirement to use the internet like 10-15 years ago because smartphones.

Most who did haven’t in at least a decade, and wouldn’t unless you put a gun to their head.

For some reason the vast majority of people seem to just want to ignore the machines that literally run our society, and its fucking maddening.

FFS the amount of people who I work with in IT and even then don’t really give a shit about their daily computing is absolutely fucking baffling.

Its really just a smattering of people from all ages who actually know how to use a computer because they’re actually interested in doing so.

To be fair I do the same shit. Cock.li is useful for burner emails. They can eat shit if they think they’re getting my money for hosting though.

Same with DWM, good window manager, asshole devs.

Just don’t give them money or code.

On one hand what’s going on is a travesty, on another we already tried this. It didn’t work. We fucked up by meddling with the middle east in the first place.

I don’t really know there’s a solution for the west at this point, more than just a lesson to learn about minding your own fucking business next time.

How do you fix an oppressive society when half of its citizens seem more than willing to oppress the other half?

Well that’s an assumption…

Also what’s the point of being anti-ai when you’re already anti-cpyright?

The issue isn’t generative AI, its capitalism. The AI just makes capitalism’s bad parts more efficient, or is at least supposed to.

Next time use matrix.

Sure but you’re also specifically telling it direct instructions which it will follow every time to the T, based on predetermined logic.

That is no where near how an LLM works. Furthermore, most programming languages require effort to learn. They night not be machine language, or even an assambler, but its still a skill you actually have to learn beyond speaking your native tongue.

Also one could make the argument that machine code is a “description” of what you want the CPU to do.

Yeah I’m leaving this one here as a reminder on how to read sarcasm, because I’m bad at that over text. Though I probably shoulda known better considering the sub we’re in.

Pfsense is a lot more feature rich than openWRT, especially when it comes to firewall features. Personally I just use openwrt to run my access points.

I would replace that eero unit with an old dell optiplex with pfsense, and forego trying to virtualize PFSense.

Not sure what hardware is in that eero, but if you wanted to keep it as just a basic AP, that isn’t a bad plan.

After that get a second optiplex for publicly hosted stuff. Keep that on a separate port on your PFSense machine, completely firewalled off from the rest of your network via pfsense, only allowing traffic from LAN to your server.

Physically separating your internal network, and publicly hosted services, as much as possible is the goal.

If you can only afford one new piece of hardware, I’d get the pfsense box, and set it up as a wireguard VPN server, disabling the direct port forwards to the VM running Minecraft. Though your friends would need to install a VPN client, and youd have to provide config files.

A used optiplex on eBay usually isn’t much more money to get up and running than most Linux SoC’s after all the adapters and kit is purchased, and they’re usually specced out way better.

Actually if you wanted to do physical DMZ separation, and wireguard you’d really be doing good, but that’s probably a little paranoid.

Teach the animals respect for authority.

People like you are why I own guns.

You’re adding attack surface by keeping them separated only by vlan. VLAN hopping exploits exist, especially in older firmware, ESPECIALLY on EoL units.

Pfsense is a proper router/firewall built on one of the most hardened networking stacks on the planet. Plus it catches regular software updates, no matter how old your hardware is. You can run it on an old PC with a cheap quad gigabit nic card from eBay if you’d like.

If I might ask, what do you have handling your inter-vlan routing/firewall? Is it the same box you use to handle the firewall/routing between your WAN and LAN?

Is this machine sitting in your LAN, or on its own firewalled off network with a DMZ? No matter how secure it is, you don’t want it on the same network as the machine you do your taxes on.

A good poor mans option is to get a pfsense box with 3 NIC’s. One for WAN, one for LAN, and one for the machine you publicly host with.

Setup firewall rules so that LAN can reach the MC host on needed ports, but not the other way around.

Yes and no, if you have large-scale projects that require a ton of people, donations can be necessary.

Just because you take donations doesn’t mean you have a profit motive.

What makes you think its not both?

Also the difference, its not conflating if its an actual issue.

Catholic Priests and Republican Senators are statistically a lot more likely to diddle your kids than a transwoman.

That’s why its conflation when they do it. Because they’re making up an issue to take away front he real ones.

On one hand I don’t trust random cracks not to have miners in them.

On the other I wouldn’t run a proprietary video game outside of a sandboxed VM any who.

being asked to give it up in the first place. Kik explained to him that they have to fight this or lose their tradmark because thats how trademark law works.

I’m not a lawyer but from what I know that’s a load of shit. There’s nothing stopping a trademark holder from granting licensing rights to third parties, without charge, to use their trademark in specific ways.

They chose not to because its easier, and most people won’t know better, so they roll over.

His response was basically “haha fuck you”. He probably could’ve asked for a couple thousand and just changed the name of his project and everything would’ve been fine.

This is the correct response, even if Kik would’ve given him money. It’s his package, he got the name first. Corpos can eat shit, just because its not the easy choice, or the choice you would’ve made doesn’t mean it was wrong. That package should’ve stayed down on principal.

Azer did nothing wrong.

Laurie Voss made a bad call and should feel bad.

The principals of free software was, is, and always will be more important than every single dollar in silicon valley combined.

She said slut referring to herself, and within the context of being a slut for something that isn’t inherently sexual.

Edit: Nope misread that. Either way there are a lot more contexts where one can use slut and not be shitty.

Well one of those is ableist while the other ones are just fun.
