Whooooooo caaaaaares what this fucking dipshit thinks? Sick of seeing fucking posts about it.

Rakuten, maybe? Still not super privacy respecting, but moderately moreso than Amazon perhaps?

EDIT: Check that, looks like they’re only in digital sales like Amazon in Japan, whereas they are just a cashback service in the USA.

In my experience repetition helped. Not memorization, but more like muscle memory.

Also, ensuring to never copy and paste commands but to type them in manually yourself. It’s hard to enforce this on yourself, but worth it.

I appreciate that this article started with “ways to reduce risk” because that’s an extremely valid concern and tied to why you shouldn’t ever copy and paste. The one time in my early Linux forays where I copied and pasted I wiped the wrong drive. It definitely taught me to always manually type it in and not get too lazy, because what you copied might not match what you want to do exactly.

I haven’t messed with it yet, but ddclient works with a lot of domain registrars.

ddclient even suggest these as alternatives:

Same, I still use Ubuntu, I just know how much people hate snaps.

Soon: Canonical is snapped out of existence

That’s part of why I use Xubuntu/Kubuntu mainly and Lubuntu for real low end stuff. Straight vanilla Ubuntu is… not super appealing. Ubuntu server that’s just CLI/headless though, that’s pretty tits, imho.

I agree that the backend for snaps being proprietary sucks, but I actually think snaps themselves are pretty useful in server configurations because of the sandboxing and limiting access to system resources. I get the whole argument that it’s doing what flatpak already did yadda yadda, but like… competing standards happens. It’s part of life and always will be.

I work for Meta (Facebook).
For example, the word “protest” will now get your account and activity monitored.

Suddenly Ubuntu doesn’t seem so terrible now, does it??

Ubuntu gang represent.

Out of curiosity, can pacman update flatpaks? Or do you still have to update those independent of your package manager?

My personal experience is that apt-get will absolutely miss packages that apt will capture.

I was actually surprised by that about six months ago and finally switched over to apt after years of apt-get.

I’m less excited about this truck specifically as much as the idea of affordable economy vehicles with no-frills making a comeback.

A valid complaint, but at the same time, just watching the video, the person presenting the truck, if he was hit head-on, would fly over the top of the hood because the hood would hit him square in the hips, right underneath his belly, sending his top half flying over the top of the hood, instead of dragging him under.

The issue you raise is still valid, but its way more of a problem in the giant trucks that are everywhere now. The Slate seems to be one of the smallest trucks that will be available on the market. Sure, the sloped hood would help, but the height of the hood is going to be hitting pedestrians on their hips and legs, not their major internal organs in their stomach, nor does it risk dragging them under the wheels like most big trucks.

Take the little wins, sometimes.

Slate’s electric Truck is about the size of a 1984 Toyota Truck. No, really. Both the Slate Truck and a short-bed, single-cab 1984 Toyota Truck SR5 share an overall length of 174.6 inches. A Slate Auto representative says this is purely coincidence.

Someone finally listened to me about manual roll up windows. This is tits.

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Thanks, we suffered the same fate.

It’s a really important switch for doing things like setting up wireguard, which has protected directories, you can’t actually enter the directory for wireguard setup without sudo -i

(I mean technically you probably can with sudo su, too, but this is more elegant and less redundant)

There’s also

sudo apt update

if you only want to apply the superuser permission one specific command instead of a lot of commands
