Same. Got some leftover Fortinet from work that I’m using. Could be better, but my Fortigate 101E works miles better than my ISP default router. All I had to do was assign upstream wan to VLAN 10 and spoof the MAC address.

I wouldn’t say the 2nd season is bad per say… just that the plot kinda drifted, so there’s nothing wrong with watching it.

Norway: “Beforeigners” started great, but I think they didn’t really have much of a plan beyond the 1st season.

Interesting setting/premise. It’s fun to see an area I used to walk several times per day having become a hangout spot for Neolithic people.

I don’t know. It wasn’t a true collective, but it was shorter to write than: I knew someone with a house and a room to let, and there were three others who also rented a room.

I don’t have experience with hosting lemmy specifically, but from what I hear it doesn’t require much other than being a bit RAM-hungry. Add some swap space, use the instance primarily for yourself, and you should be good.

Hosting does not attract CSAM on its own. Anonymous uploads do. Only host services that you find useful yourself, and maybe sharing it with friends, and that’s a reasonably safe start.

Two approaches that basically amount to the same thing:

1. Join some sort of organized activity.
2. Force yourself to be social.

About the latter: In early 2007 I realized that my life was pretty lacking at the age of 24, mostly stemming from the fact that I enjoyed solitude a bit too much. Sure, people would come around from time to time (I lived Ina collective), but beyond that not much was happening.

So I decided that I would be more outgoing, in the literal sense. Every day I would do something, anything, in an effort to be the “instigator” for anything social. This could be pretty much anything from visiting someone I knew across town, to just phoning someone up to hang out.

The collective nature of my housing situation usually meant that I happened to be there when a party happened. However, after a month of just trying to be more outgoing I was actively invited places. This was all new to me. Suddenly people were phoning me to see if I wanted to do something.

I kept at it for a month. It was fucking exhausting. But it proved to me that it doesn’t really take much effort - all you have to do is to reach out.

In retrospect I think doing it every day is kind of extreme, at least for my personality type. But my anecdotal evidence stands clear: make an effort, take the initiative, and things will happen organically.

Where did xmms go, by the way?

Does sshd count?

Beyond the “default” stuff, I always seem to end up with a setup that involves linux + apache + mod_perl + postgresql for various purposes. And by the way, that’s the only proper LAMP stack in my book, and I will die on this hill.

Sounds like the name of a colab album between Weird Al and HIM

The only difference I’ve noticed between left and right is whether that place is officially referred to as Majorstuen or Majorstua. As a state certified bygdetulling who used to live there, it is my firm belief that the latter is correct. This is a hill I will certainly not die on, so whatever…

I’m seriously interested. Where can I learn more about this?
Is there somewhere online where I can play this?

I like both chess and variation…

Yes, the meeting might result in the same plan you made forever ago. But now everyone knows what, how, and why. The meeting wasn’t called because your idea was shit, it was to bring everyone up to speed.

I’ve done some very dodgy things with VGA cables in an effort to route the cables through narrow bulkheads. For normal computer-to-monitor-lengths this is probably fine.

I haven’t noticed much signal degradation below 4m-ish.

At 12m, you better solder properly and wrap some extra shielding around your splice.

Source: I’ve ran plenty of VGA cables between bridge computers and a deck monitor on ships.

Normally it doesn’t matter. The only restrictions is in terms of who can buy domains of that country to begin with (some countries have restrictions on that), and what sort of content is allowed in such domains. Other than that, it’s OK.

Jeg bestilte mine fra rakwireless.com. De er kjent for å være trege til å levere, men jeg er en tolmodig gubbe.

Norway: Pretty chill, at least in my corner of the country; squeezed in between three mountains and a fjord.

My biggest concern these days is that I was supposed to go down to Saudi Arabia for some work stuff, but that’s been put on hold due to… stuff you may have heard of…

The news cycle is kind of repetitive because of a douchebag who is related to royalty is on trial. Nobody cares, lock him up if he’s found guilty, that’s all. I guess it’s a sign that there’s not much newsworthy happening.

On a more personal level, I’m waiting for my meshtastic radios to arrive so I can put up some routers on nearby summits and see if I can reach the next tiny town over. No reason other than toying around with it, really.

With geology like this, I have no idea how they manage to supply gigabit internet to my house. But I guess once you’re used to digging tunnels for basic infrastructure, running a fiber isn’t that big of a deal. My basement homelab enjoys the results either way.

Day-to-day life isn’t exciting. But it’s safe and secure; the good kind of boring.

Used to do this in payphones as a kid. The numpads were disabled when no coins were inserted, effectively disabling tone dialing. But pulse dialing still worked.
