My immediate thought is a cron job that tests the user account's last login time and fires a script if it is exceeded.

Pretty sure most squirrels are also terrible drivers.

You can use basically any HTTP server to achieve that, like Apache or Nginx. If the directory (specified by the path in the URL) doesn't contain a file that matches the default file in the config (index.html and such), the server will list the directory contents instead.

What do you suggest they should've done instead in that situation? Assault him and get arrested? Report him to the police or airport security and miss the flight while getting the bureaucratic run-around?

God doesn't play dice with the universe because the universe got fed up with his 24-sided d20s.

Normalizing a 2D vector is not part of the scripture, apparently.

(edit) I fucked up with my math. Normalizing either kind of Jesus would result in a being that is ~0.707 part divine and human. But if we assume that Jesus is both fully divine and fully human, that would make his magnitude sqrt(2), which means that Christian beliefs are based on something that is completely irrational, which I've found to be true.

Lempo isn't a fertility god, though. His areas are erotic love, sex, and sexual prowess. He is also known by the feminine name Lemmätär or Lemmetär (-tar and -tär being feminizing suffixes). It's not surprising that Christian revisionists turned him into one of the chief demons.

Only a Genius could come up with a scheme that offloads the cost of their own laziness to the customer. Exactly the kind of innovation that Steve Jobs stood for.

"I'll pray for you" but it's a prayer to Lempo, god of fucking from Finnish mythology.

Get yourself a pocket president to legitimize everything you do and crime becomes legal.

 

Minecraft and Factorio ain't shit next to Conway's Game Of Life.

Low effort meme while flatpak update finishes.

I understand why having eight very specific versions of the same library is important. Doesn't mean it isn't annoying.

TranscriptFLATPAK EMPLOYEE: what would u like?
ME: one flatpak update please
FPE: so u want "a whole bag of updates?"
ME: no, just a "flatp-"
FPE: I definitely heard "more updates than u could ever handle"
ME: please, no--
FPE: JERRY, FOIST UPON THIS MAN "A FUCKASS LOAD AMOUNT OF UPDATES"

It's a Creative Zen Stone that I got as a Christmas gift in 2008. I just found it in a drawer, and it's still holding charge. The last thing I put on it was The Life And Times Of Scrooge by Tuomas Holopainen, in 2015 -- I don't know why, at that time I definitely had a smartphone.

It has a headphone jack, which immediately makes it better than every smartphone produced in the last several years, and it can easily drive my 80-ohm Beyerdynamic. The audio quality is as good as one can expect. The only drawback is that it only holds 1GB... my old CD rips had to be compressed to hell and back.

Let me reiterate that this has been sitting untouched for a decade and was immediately ready for action. No login, no annoying software updates, expired subscription, or remote bricking by the manufacturer. Eat my shorts, Spotify Car Thing.

P.s. A Lifetime Of Adventure is a banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWwSVOo5K_k

 

LED lights are great, but I miss having a mini hot plate on my desk to mindlessly touch and burn my hand.

(Do kids even watch cartoons these days, or do they go into scrolling withdrawal before the first commercial break?)

 

I just tossed a fistful of pistachio shells into my mouth.

 

INTERFACING [Trivial: failed] - The umbrella bounces off the side of the bin with a clang and a clatter. It comes to rest on the cold concrete, in the middle of a puddle of trash juice. It is no more pitiful a sight than before.

Philip Rebohle, DXVK's founding developer, stated in an interview that he started the project "to get one specific game to work". Later, he explained in a forum post that he was a bit of a Nier fanboy, and that it was a relatively simple game to use as a test subject for DXVK.

Rebohle was later contacted and hired by Valve. Wine already had a D3D11 compatibility layer, but it wasn't nearly as far ahead as DXVK at the time. It's fair to say that Linux gaming wouldn't exist in its current form if not for one guy's appreciation for Nier Automata. Rebohle still works at Valve, currently conributing to VKD3D-Proton.

 

re: this article.

The title is a joke. "Free, but you have to make an EGS account" is a bit too rich for me.

 

About half a year ago I bought a used UPS. It didn't have enough output to power my main PC, but it's perfect for my home server and network.

Starting on Christmas eve and continuing even today, my neighbourhood has been getting intermittent brownouts. It's only affecting one phase (house is on a three-phase 240V connection), which happens to be the one powering my network (also all of the light fixtures, stupid Soviet house), and the UPS works beautifully. I didn't lose any of my services even once. Without it, I would probably be reinstalling Proxmox and praying to the RAID gods to restore my hard drives.

"It pays for itself as soon as it is needed" is proven true once again.
