i just accept that i can’t say what I want to say and forget about it

wow yeah this article is a load of bullshit. A steaming pile of journalism. Actually a bit of an insult.

Taco!🌮

I think it has something to do with KDE not killing smbnotifier processes. If I kill the Samba daemon, I notice a ton of TCP traffic as the processes try to reset connections, then eventually terminating. If I then start the daemon again, those processes disappear and I can access the share through Dolphin.

This is probably the #1 reason I started using qbit and now use it in my homelab’s docker container.

Ayyy

1337x.to was blocked for me today! Even though it doesn’t stream content. Feels like an “enshittification pincer” is happening right now.

I like flatpaks, kinda. If something is in the standard repo, I install it. If it’s a library or CLI tool, I add the repository. If it has simple build instructions, I build it. If all of those things are too complicated or they want me to run a script, I just install the flatpak.

Just saw the mentaloutlaw video. Graphene OS has a “duress pin” that wipes the phone when given a certain pin.

I’m using Thunderbird. It’s convenient for having multiple inboxes and has a subjectively nice interface without much bloat on it. It has a calendar app which is good for planning too. For email, I have a custom domain+TLD plus an account at purelymail. If purelymail goes dicks up I’m not dead in the water.

C3. I used to do these logic puzzles at work.

Both Albert and Bernard know the ball is at a certain row and at a certain column, respectively. Albert first admits two things:

1. He doesn't know where the ball is. Aka, the row containing the ball has more than one ball in it. This isn't important now, but will be re-used when he asserts it again.
2. Bernard doesn't know either. If Bernard knew where the ball was simply from the column, it'd be because that column only had one ball in it. Since he knows that Bernard doesn't know given just the row, each ball in that row is in a column that contains more than one ball.

This eliminates rows A and B, since B5 and A6 are the only balls in their columns. For this to work, Bernard now has to understand the above.

Then Bernard admits that now he knows where the ball is. Since we can eliminate or ignore each ball in A and B, it can either be balls D2, C3, and D4 and not any ball in column 1 using logic from #2.

At this point, Albert knows whether the ball is in C or D. If the madman told him the ball was in row C, then he would instantly know the ball is C3 given the elimination of C1 and D1. If he was told it was row D, then he still wouldn't know.

However, Albert admits the former, which tells us it's C3.
