Manor Lords has been one of the most beautiful and innovative games I’ve ever played, and whenever I pop in to play it I end up spending half the time just zoomed a bit out, watching my little towns live and breathe. It’s lovely.

Dwarf Fortress and the OG Cities Skylines are the only other games I play these days, and I think with those I’m set for life.

I love this generation so much, I have a CX and it’s a dream.

I’d always imagined servicing and balancing 6 carburetors on the CBX would be a nightmare, but also imagined it’d be worth it haha

They might have valid concerns, but when the writeup includes stuff like

the developer of Signal wants us all to beLIEve

it’s hard not to imagine the whole thing hand-painted on the side of a van.

Courts have ruled that cops can damage property in the course of their duties with no accountability or compensation required, so they’d probably just bulldoze it out of the way and destroy it. And then insurance would say they don’t cover official acts of cops, and then the cops would send a bill for damaging their bulldozer.

There’s probably more fun and effective ways to go bankrupt obstructing ICE.

Being sequestered into the oil sounds pretty nice at this point.

“Sir, the people are not standing for our shit anymore. They’re holding a laser rave. The police state is crumbling as we speak.”

Bunch of spineless sycophants.

The desktop is like the inbox of files, inbox-zero it and it’s a tidy place to keep things in focus until they’re sorted and filed away or deleted.

Dying horribly is fun!

I throw dust jackets away immediately, because I think they’re an abomination and books look and feel better without them. And then I dog-ear the pages because it gives them character.

I must be extra chaotic extra evil.

Yogthos is the kind of piece of shit that “critically supports” bombing Ukrainian kindergartens and maternity wards as long as, somewhere in the world, at least one Western tear is shed over it. Blocking them makes the fediverse far less unpleasant.

Unless “read-only” is being enforced by hardware (reading from optical media, etc), a compromised sudo user can circumvent anything, and write anywhere. A read-only flag or the root filesystem being mounted from somehwere else are just trivial extra steps in the way.

Improved security != extremely secure, is all I’m saying. There are a lot of things that go into making a system extremely secure, and while an immutable root filesystem may be one of them, it doesn’t do the job all on its own as advertised in this post.

The root filesystem is being read from somewhere, and if it’s being read from, it can be written to. Having an extra step or two in the way doesn’t make it “extremely secure”.

But what does Ja Rule think about all of this? Where is Ja?

A Raspberry Pi 3b is about as plug-and-play with wifi and audio out as you can get, for $35 usd. 64-bit, Arch ARM has an image for it, the support and community are the absolute best you can get in an SBC, pretty much anything you could possibly want to do with it will have a blog writeup guide that sonebody’s already done. If a 4-core 1GHz processor and 1GiB of memory are suitable for the software you want to run, that’d be my go-to.

Looks fantastic, great job 🎄✨

Hell yeah, cross-cluster migrations through the ui now!

Men are always interrupting women while they’re loading 1,500 pounds of gravel into their cars, and I’m sick of it.

I think the Danish word Hygge contains this coziness-to-exterior-inhospitability quotient
