whimper was a dovecot and postfix machine. Email isn’t very fun

I don’t have many now, just minstrel (it plays music) but previously they’ve always just be sounds. Rawr, groan, whimper, bark, moan, growl etc.

Except minstrel (it plays music) :p

Weird, I suppose you could also VM it but it tends to have a performance hit without optimised hardware. I wonder how they check the environment it runs in and if you can just lie to the checks.

Which ones don’t? I don’t play many MP games but non of the ones I have played have issues. Easy anticheat works for example, and you can run it in ring 3 and lie which is nice.

Basically every steam game just works, most other stuff just works with lutris, all retroarch emulators I’ve tried just work, there are obviously oodles of native linux games particularly Indies. Nvidia drivers mostly just work if you install proprietary (blurgh).

What doesn’t work?

if only we all found it as easy to find horny people IRL as on the net XD

Idk about you but I am so staggeringly beautiful that in order to walk amongst mere mortals without spreading insanity and obsession I must adopt a glamour.

My favoured form is a moderately athletic slightly be-tummied greying spinster.

The factorio devs are sexist, reactionary, arseholes :(

downvoted why? am I wrong? or are you just mad that they’re not as good as their game?

What are the odds of that working? You think I’d leave myself open to a simple brute force collision attack?

Also all sysadmins share a hive mind.

Having been a sysadmin you would be surprised at both the amount of times I had to explain why we couldn’t just put an unprotected endpoint outside the firewall and also how much alcohol I drank to cope with the former.

It is like being builder to architects that think you can have a second story just floating in midair. I am baffled by how ignorant of the basics of infrastructure many developers are.

Obviously I don’t expect a website dev to know the details of like iptables configs for load balancing with failover or whatever. Or even be terribly familiar with how to set up a production web server. I do expect people to know stuff like every computer on the internet is under constant attack from scripts. Or that taking advantage of peoples’ trust and leaking their data is bad actually.

Yeah so there are still young nerds, they’re just all trans women now.

If you think it is acceptable to lash out at someone you’re mean and if you can’t find ways to communicate clearly without lashing out you’re a bad communicator.

Linux/open source has a massive problem with finding maintainers and contributors for critical projects and a significant contributor is just how awful the communication culture of programmers is.

Linus doesn’t love that, he literally got therapy to not be like that. Maybe there’s a lesson there for you.

In fact, in a more recent talk he mentioned being horrified at the sort of people who liked how he spoke and the way they assumed he shared their political opinions as a significant motivator.

you should always check the date of anything you see online before forming any thoughts about it.

To his credit he undertook sensitivity training and is a much, much, better communicator now.

He used to channel the whole juvenile angry-but-gifted programmer crap, accepted (eventually) the criticisms and did the right thing: changed.

You probably should learn the basics of your car, or develop a relationship with someone who is good at/knows cars and pick a few things up from them.

You rely on it working correctly to not die and the company that makes it would happily let you die if they calculated it was more profitable that way.

Like it’s a good thing to have basic knowledge of the stuff we rely on. You don’t need to be an expert but total ignorance is a very vulnerable position.

You’ll be old one day!

Missing programmer socks.
