Ezekiel 23:20

Got me through some hard times.

Check permissions on your home folder. Make sure everything is owned by your new username.

I had a separate partition mounted on /home on my old system. I remounted the same partition at /home on the new system, and got the same bootloop issue. The problem was that the old permissions were for 1001:1001, not (newuser):(newuser). Had to log into a TTY and chown (newuser):(newuser) -R /home/(newuser) to get everything working.

I think it is a testament of how bloated it is. I mean, we could get 20 Linux users together, list every package we have collectively installed, and produce a new distro with all of those packages that would serve all 20 of us without needing to add anything else. But our new distro would easily be the largest available, and none of us would use everything we’ve included.

You can create a virtual machine, running within your debian install, to serve as your router. It actually works very well.

I used a headless Debian VM as a router with Shorewall to configure iptables. If I had to do it again, I probably would have used an opensense VM.

I had a problem with my boss’s computer yesterday where Windows decided it didn’t need to load the drivers for one of the two built in USB 3.0 controllers. On boot, only one of the two controllers would work, either the one for the front ports, or the one for the rear ports, completely randomly. It would not load the driver for the other controller until I disabled and reenabled it in the hardware manager.

BIOS recognized a keyboard or mouse in any of the 2.0 or 3.0 ports at POST, but if Windows failed to load the rear 3.0 driver at boot time, it dropped the keyboard and mouse.

Workaround was to swap them to the 2.0 ports. Final solution was upgrading to Linux.

Does it do scan to FTP? For my Brother MFC device, I spun up a write-only FTP server to drop scanned documents into a network share. That made them immediately accessible to any machine on my network.

Shit just worked.

Open source with profanity in comments is statistically better than code without it

Red Star OS!

Smaller charities tend to do much better in my experience.

UBI is not charity. UBI is what the nation owes you as a shareholder of USA, Inc.

Giving people money doesn’t teach long term skills that lead to success.

Exactly. Which is why the children of rich people so often become homeless. All that money they had when they were kids kept them from learning long-term skills that lead to success. It stunted their financial growth, rendering them particularly susceptible to poverty.

The children of the impoverished, on the other hand, were forced to learn money management skills for their very survival. The superior money management skills of impoverished kids practically guarantee their future success.

This explains why self-made millionaires are so common, and generational wealth is so difficult to maintain.

Right? That’s how it works in your head, right? The people with easy access to money never learn how to manage it and ultimately squander it, right? The people who have to fight for every dime are the most successful, right?

Right?

I also think it would be better to have private organizations that have less bureaucracy.

Agreed. And an organization doesn’t get smaller or privater than a single individual. We can cut out 100% of the bullshit bureaucracy and give it straight to the individual, directly, or their caregiver if they are not qualified to maintain their own affairs. Remove everyone else, as they don’t add shareholder value.

Indeed.

Each of the issues you described is mitigated - if not cured - by steady income. And each is greatly exacerbated by a lack of such income.

What is really important is that the family and friends of the people struggling with these conditions aren’t also impoverished. The outcomes of each these conditions are vastly improved when the sufferer’s caregivers have the time and resources to attend to them.

UBI benefits everyone involved.

For the cases where the individual is not capable of managing their own money, it is still better for their caregiver to receive and manage their money on their behalf than to periodically send them crates of cauliflower and tomatoes.

Turns out that money is one of those things that the less you have of it, the harder it is to manage.

was just a standard residential setup,

The distinction is important because we are discussing IPv6. A “standard residential setup” with IPv6 would provide the user with an entire subnet rather than a single IP address. We still need a router to pass traffic from the ISP’s network to our own network, but we no longer need NAT.

It’ll take you public IP and translate those packets to use your internal one.

That is NAT, yes. But that is only one small function that a router can perform, and not all routers have NAT enabled. You only need NAT if your ISP only allows you to use a single IP address.

If your computer has an address that starts with 169, 168, or 10 there is a NAT somewhere in your network.

That’s not actually true. I can create such a network without connecting it to the internet, no NAT. I can create a second network, again, no NAT. I can then use a gateway router that allows any node on the first network to reach any node on the second. That router is still not doing any NAT. It’s just passing traffic between two networks.

Every single one of those temporary IP addresses has the same prefix, which traces back to you.

Its about as anonymous as adding an apartment number to your own street address.

i would say you want to route through as many jurisdictions as you feasibly can. For example, US investigators arent going to get any cooperation from Iran or North Korea; any trail that crosses into their borders is going to be a dead end for their investigation.

Never used plex. Finally got around to installing Jellyfin. Very happy with it.

This video provides mechanical demonstrations of impedance, SWR, and some other related concepts, making them much more intuitive: AT&T Archives: Similarities of Wave Behavior.

Pros: He never uses the term “complex conjugate”

Cons: Ancient, black and white, monotonous droning.

So, they left a bucket of water to stagnate next to a bus stop?
