  • Yeah I’m thinking my SD card is failing… I know it’s slow but I tried to do a fresh install in recovery 7 hours ago and it’s still initialing the “noob” installer.

    Supposedly I was thinking to small, I was thinking like trying to use nmap to discover all ip addresses on my lan or load vim to practice vim motions (I get the idea but I’m still too slow put in alot of commands cause I’m like ok… Up 10 lines, ok, up is… Look on cheat sheet… I… then number of lines… That was 10…look on cheat sheet… Oh just enter 10…it didn’t work… Figure out because it’s not ingrained in my head the time looking at a cheat sheet is making commands time out).


  • Yeah, I tried virtual box on my main system and kept running into odd problems with every distro. For example Debian had a full second of input lag, with 2 cores of a 13th Gen i5 and 16 gb of ram dedicated to it. Kali would install and I ejected the “installation medium” aka the iso and reboot and the virtual box couldn’t see any bootable drive. I tried fedora and it kept freezing on installing(sat at like 35% for over 3 hours)





  • You know if somebody did this with an encrypted data but only like every 50th frame on a video like that old “smiling man” videos or they “watch Ian sleep” videos then someone saw it and posted it either here or Mastodon or one of the forbidden companies it could generate a new conspiracy.

    Would be great if a bunch of people did like a full deep dive. Getting the raw videos, figuring out the frames to extract, determining the encryption method, find a method to decrypt it, combine all the fragments back together, figure out its in some obscure latex format, write a custom interpreter for that format which hasn’t been used since the early 90s…people online thinking it’s some state actor or like a command and control module for some bot net… They finally crack it all and access the raw data and it’s just a backup of pornographic slashfic from usenet back in the day.

    Especially if breaking the encryption was like a novel and new approach. Imagine like a talk at defcon “how I found about Harry Potter’s sex with Gwen from Spiderman…and broke aes256 in the process”

    OP - I’m not saying this is what you are backing up but the idea of this was so funny to me.





  • I honestly feel very similar. The closest I can kinda understand is like a guy at birth wanting to wear a skirt, in which case I say go rock that skirt. Or maybe a girl at birth wanting to feel accepted in certain male dominated activities in which case it’s a problem with those activities and not the girl.

    I’m a guy at birth, I guess I identify as a guy but it’s meh. If I was misgendered at most I would make a overly dramatic joke but it wouldn’t effect my physiologicaly.








  • I “tried” Linux but never got it usable. I initially decided to run a vm on virtualbox to experiment. I tried Debian, arch, kali, Ubuntu and all ended up having an input lag of 1-2 seconds. Windows the system was fine. But I found my self unable to do basic tasks it was no bad. I don’t mean I didn’t know a command or unwilling to find a foss software equivalent, I mean it took several tries to get the mouse over the X to close a program due to input lag.

    OK I then decided to try a docker container with Linux. It got so messed up if I open docker desktop it displays an error that the container was unable to start, if you close the error to edit settings or create a new container it closes docker desktop, no way to fix it.

    I was able to get a wsl command line working but all I found it able to do is add 5 steps to everything due to having to start the command, start wsl, log on, elevate permissions etc.
