god tier backup solution i promise

the amount of knowledge about UEFI and secure boot is so low among so many people who are otherwise really knowledgeable about computers (and even specifically firmware) is kinda sad
UEFI is really cool! we have drivers, a shell, standardized networking, menus that let you pick specific files to boot. your os can control your boot device and automatically enroll custom secure boot keys with a single click. it's so cool and i still have to convince people that your bootloader not needing to enable the a20 gate is a good thing, actually

I forgot how mid The Martian movie is
and am discovering how shit the 3d version looks despite apparently being natively recorded in 3d

just watched the os x tiger opening video with my subwoofer turned up to its max
fucking. transformational life experience

extra spicy take, but for anyone with a modicum of technical ability (not time, just general knowledge and willingness to type in a passphrase every few months) matrix is a far better messaging experience in every way than signal, so long as we're talking a baseline of synapse and decent clients (fluffychat, cinny, element, that sort)
server message backups, arbitrary numbers of devices, not needing a phone number, better clients, and bridges push it ahead for everything i want out of a messenger

and if you're wondering: message decryption is solved on decent servers. you can enable message backup to the server and just decrypt it with your passphrase, or you can just use device to device transfer with standard emoji verification or whatever
"waaaaa encryption is worse than signal" yeah signal is also a ripoff of whatsapp, I don't care if the nsa's quantum computer can crack stuff, I care if John ISP can steal my server's hard drives and dump my messages and if the messenger is Good

irc still mogs all btw

shoutout those kinds of math assignments where the answer to 80% of the problems is just 0

@jessew oh wow i forgot the digital miner existed i might have to try that it looks pretty easy

@jessew apotheosis might work but i can't even be bothered to setup mystical agriculture so

@jessew well yeah but i need to either actually finish my turtle code shit or build a quarry, and the quarry itself requires unobtainium which sucksssss

@jessew look this save has like 3d in it and much of that was just afk give me a break
also atm10 is a BITCH to do progression in because they felt the need to add their own ores that are required for certain stuff. normally i'd just quarry out half the mining dimension. also oregen in new versions is irritating i want my 1.12 back

i forgot how busted modded minecraft can be sometimes lmao

@nelson @0x4d6165 if C had decided instead to place a length attribute at the pointer address and then offset from there, we would probably have about 3 less CVE databases

my dream Thing to own is an openmoko freerunner with a gta04
fuck it's such a cool little gizmo

is this the ultrawide experience?

why did I do this again?

okay this goes fucking hard

this is unreasonably practical

@ezio does this work

they call me the monitor man

i think modern minecraft has taught me more about stone types than my entire geology class so far
