KDE since 2002. KDE 4 lyfe.

Another big part is learning how to set it up in a way that it’s functional and productive the first time and then STOP FUCKING WITH IT.

have lost GPUs before, but not yet to mining.

I have. Power rails on GPU shorted due to failed MOSFET, blew the PSU as well as the card. The mini-explosion woke the whole family at 2am. I was also running it just under what was considered the high end of tolerable for the card, with a huge box fan attached to the side of the open case.

And if it survives until then will have a couple months of gaming out of it before a dried out capacitor or overstressed MOSFET blows. Ask me how I know.

I can relate. I can emphasize with someone who’s learned every nuance of a language, and after 30-40 years suddenly these kids come in with their strange hieroglyphics slowly replacing everything you’ve worked on.

it feels sucky to see all my hours of hard work getting trashed without a second thought.

I’m an electronic security installer. You know how many times I’ve done stuff like install a complete 40+ camera CCTV system at a new store under construction only to be back at the same store a year later ripping it all out when it goes out of business? I know what that feels like.

Worst is when you come around for a regular store equipment refresh and recognize something you installed at that store ten years ago and start feeling real old…

Good luck wherever life takes you now.

Yeah this may have fooled people before Trump and the Charlottesville NC rally and the rest of the world embracing hate, but they ain’t fooling anyone anymore. Stuff it. We know and you know what TF “far right” means. Stop the concern-trolling bullshit.

Haven’t you heard? The masks are off. You don’t need to justify it anymore or hide it. Just come out and say what you really believe.

This stuff isn’t magic. It’s tech. These things can be proved by analyzing network traffic.

“Why TF is this one-page document half a gigabyte?”

Open source the planet.

I remember the USAF handing me an M16 at 18 years old where all I’ve ever handled before that was even close was the NES zapper.

I wa going to suggest tape drives for long term archiving, but after looking, holy shit are they expensive for some reason. I’ve used them at work but I guess I’ve never actually seen the price tag.

I got like five bottles of the stuff laying around my house.

Simply removing the two-factor auth element which does nothing to access the main page underneath. I do that shit with newspaper paywalls. That is wild.

Also having a script in there that just resets a password no questions asked. WTF is going on with modern software development? It isn’t just Subaru. It’s almost everything in the last 15 years. Behind all the pretty lipstick, IT systems are jankier than ever.

For any aspiring programmers, remember, never ever assume the user is rational, expecting them to follow the rules. At least half of your user data-handling code should be validation and sanity checks. Code defensively.

Aren’t a lot of poor Republican parents’ kids on Medicaid? Poverty doesn’t care about politics.

Leopards and faces, I guess.
