Linus’ apathy may keep ten different competing security ideas from each being mainlined, but it’s not impossible for them to continue and prove their worth out of tree until some sort of coherent best practices are established.

Meanwhile, actual security issues will continue to be patched as needed and Linux remains the most analyzed and targeted kernel in the world.

Reminds me of old Mad Magazine, when they’d parody something they’d draw famous faces in detail but on a much more cartoony body. Definitely a bit jarring, but I’d take it over another stick figure any day.

To be clear, I just mean release as in B42 becoming available as default. Their long term plans are great though, I look forward to playing them in 2030 haha.

I haven’t played multiplayer, but Build 42 is really shaping up. Game is getting more survival-y in that you can make a lot more stuff from components (ore, clay etc.) and there is real wildlife/ livestock to make more food craftable from renewable post-apocalyptic sources. The lighting has been overhauled, some older areas have been revamped to be more realistic, buildings can be much taller. They even added a bit of randomness to the map with random basements. I’m really hopeful this patch gets guns right too, they’ve improved previously but still take way too long to become viable IMO.

They must be pretty close to official release, it’s really getting there.

Eh, I dunno. The opening seasons are usually weak (TOS is an exception) but looking at Encounter at Farpoint/Emissary/Caretaker and even Broken Bow they all do a pretty good job introducing the show even if the cast hasn’t found its feet yet.

Honestly, Vulcan Hello / Battle of the Binary Stars is spot on for how the rest of Discovery behaves. Pay lip service to science and exploration and, at the first opportunity, trash that and turn into an action drama.

Look on my works Sim Mayor and

Yeah, I got started in silicon thinking cheaper, faster, more power efficient chips would be a net benefit to the world… Then we became a social media surveillance state and AI dogshit is just the icing on the cake.

Now I drink to forget we’re boiling the oceans to ruin society. One day this capitalist hellscape will end.

So traditional it’s like a Norman Rockwell painting.

I agree, but I can envision scenarios where you are integrating into someone else’s workflow/machine and they (or their build system etc.) are expecting a shell script. Python is ubiquitous but sometimes you just want to work like everything else.

Speak for Yourself by Imogen Heap is a damn solid album.

I am also interested in this, but don’t have good examples.

Ultimately, a lot of anarchist texts are describing anarcho-communist societies, but historically when communists and anarchists disagree, the communists ignore/fight them, or the revolution gets crushed before either really get a say.

That is literally the best outcome. The worse it gets the longer the chapter on this era gets, until eventually there is no textbook at all.

Disappointed it’s Amazon but since they own MGM it was never going to happen any other way.

Otherwise, totally hyped. Love to see what SG looks like with modern effects and budget. Hope it can retain some of the campiness and understatement (like Jack O’Neil’s stubborn refusal to give Picardesque speeches and just relying on his people knowing the plan).

I mean, anything is possible, but that seems farfetched to me. The router is typically a hard target for malware unless you have physical or at least LAN access. They are generally pretty locked down and don’t execute anything from remote access, they examine packet headers and send them on their way. If it was compromised I’d expect something more nefarious than ruining file transfers too.

The biggest strike against this being a network hardware/driver issue is that normal browsing works. If packets were being screwed up in transit, connections would drop, text and images would be corrupt as well (which the browser would probably choke on). It seems to have an issue only when the disk is involved, when data is being saved.

No sweat, I hope that’s enlightening. Another thing that may be interesting is checking dmesg after you trigger the input/output error (or just generally since you are seeing silent corruption). Bad errors there are usually signs of hardware issues, and may also give you something more specific to search with.

Huh, storage or RAM problems would be evident in your file tests (and elsewhere). Can you visit websites normally? Stream YouTube etc.? It would be very strange for a broken network device to corrupt files.

Also, since you didn’t mention where the downloads are coming from… No chance of corruption at the source?

The input/output error makes me think disk issue (since it should copy corrupt files just fine, it’s just data) but that should also be triggered by copying from a separate device. A more thorough disk check may be in order, like a badblock run or something.

Haha, anarchists opposing buildings because they are structures. People really have no idea.

Like the other propagandized terms it’s usually so much easier to find support when talking about concrete solutions to specific problems that align with your ideology than to admit being part of a larger project.

Definitely agree. Had a couple of them and loved some of the ideas (touchpad sticks, gyro to mouse aim, all of the Steam Input flexibility) but they never really eclipsed my rechargeable Dualshocks in terms of feeling right. Taking some of the Deck’s refinements and giving it another spin is welcome.

I put this on expecting a trainwreck and a cash grab too, but it still had me laughing my ass off. It really felt like they understood why the originals were so funny.

Yeah, my parents are still basically the same liberal Democrats they were when I was a kid. Meanwhile I’ve gone farther left and the rest of the family mutated into a virulent strain of fascist.
