No war but class war.

I don’t think it’s feminism at that point. It’s misandry. I know many women who don’t understand the difference, but they’re not the same.

I’m the mod. It’s partially my fault since I’ve never really done anything to promote it. I’d love for others to join the mod team if they have more experience with this stuff.

None of the things you mentioned sounds even remotely plausible though. 🥲

Yes, electoral college should be abolished. It’s probably not gonna happen though, so this is a temporary band-aid solution that many states have implemented.

Oklahoma City. It’s just a worse version of Dallas.

Nice try, FBI.

The script you provided works as expected for me. I’m on Arch, so the binary is called perl-rename, but no other modification is needed.

It’s hard to be that optimistic nowadays. I was born in India, and live in US. I’ve seen too many lunatics get elected.

One of my closest friends tried attempted suicide last year. The first thing obviously was to make sure he survived. We don’t live in the same city, so that was a very long and stressful day for me. Fortunately, we have mutual friends who I could reach. (I was the only one he texted before the attempt.)

Anyway, after he was well, I never really pressured him to talk about it. I, and others, convinced him to talk to a therapist. After I believe a week or so, he just randomly opened up and we talked for hours. This happened a few times. But I always tried to not pressure him into opening up, and kept our friendly banter and everything. I never wanted him to feel that something between us changed because he tried to take that route. I’ll still call him names and roast him, and he’ll clap back. That’s just our dynamic. I think people often overcompensate, and end up making things worse.

That paragraph turned out to be much less structured than I had hoped. It’s just hard to put into words what to do. I guess, just try to be a good friend. Whatever that means for you. Be there for them. Talk to them. Don’t pressure or guilt them into doing anything. Don’t guilt yourself into behaving differently. Be compassionate if they do open up, but don’t force them. Just be like you usually are, grab a drink maybe, and have a good time with them.

“Let everything happen to you
Beauty and terror
Just keep going
No feeling is final.”
– Rainer Maria Rilke

This was used at the end of the movie Jojo Rabbit (one of my favorite movies btw). I often remember this line when I feel like everything is going wrong. It helps me hold on to hope.

Even though it’s not as popular as the other options, parts of NetBSD are used for many usecases. Take a look at

and you’ll see many familiar names.

I don’t get this argument for practicality of classes. There shouldn’t be any budgeting, taxes related classes. You know basic math, an one hour YouTube video should be enough. For more complicated taxing situations, you’ll hire an accountant anyway. Cooking can actually be nice to learn, but definitely not in primary school. Some high schools actually do have optional cooking courses. My school called it Home Science. For job hunting, most schools do career counseling towards the end of high school. And home repair etc. should be taught by a parental figure. Not everything can be done in school. School gives you the basic tools so that you can learn whatever you need to learn to make a living.

Idk man. Homelessness will kinda suck anyway, because you have no place to rest, usually struggle to get enough food etc. Bad weather will make things much worse. Solitary is considered to be one of the worst kinds of prison sentences, unless you’re like a target for others for some reason. And high school can go either way. Mine was great, but it can definitely suck for some. But without others, how exactly is it a school? Maybe in some extreme cases of bullying, it might be better, but I think for most the loneliness will be far worse.

Ok, I guess I misinterpreted what you said. My laptop only has a DC barrel port. I want to charge it using any of the high wattage GaN chargers. To do that, I’ll need something that converts the USB-C to barrel, and does the voltage negotiations. But thanks anyway. Maybe this’ll help someone else.

Hey, I’m interested in the last thing. Can you give me some details on how to do it? I’d love not to carry around the bulky stock charger.

I took a look at it. From what I understand, some of the lines in your setup are redundant. The final product seems to do basically the same job as mine. In any case, if it works, it works.

Are there really people who will buy a new mouse rather than charging it? How long does the charging take? Also, at that point, wouldn’t they buy from any brand other than Apple?

Hey, great post. I have one request. Can you maybe add some description for what the iptables entries do? I have a similar setup with a lot less iptables rules that works well for me. But I’m not an expert in networking, and am now worried that I might be missing something that can leak my home IP.
