  • What are some drugs you think will make a comeback like qualewds or thai sticks or window pane? Does history always repeats itself apply to drugs?

  • Thai Sticks are probably still available in Thailand and still probably amazing. And in the 70s when Mexican ditchweed was all you'd find in North America, it was worth the peril to import the amazing stuff.

    Nowadays, anyone with a light can grow equally amazing stuff. I would love to taste some real Thai herb, but it won't get me more stoned than my homegrown. Thai smugglers are welcome to come to Manitoba and call my bluff, DM me baby.

    Windowpane was more or less a marketing label on the same Shakedown Street sheets that made their way around the country in the wake of the Dead. They arrived up here via letters sent home. You can still get sheets but I have no idea who's making em, probably dodgy Russian chemists whose families are held hostage...

    I know almost nothing about ludes.

  • what's a good protest song for anti-war, anti-ice, and anti-oligarchy?

    Jump

  • If it's punk yer wantin, you'll want Dead Kennedys and MDC - both old bands (MDC is still kicking as I understand it, tho) but lots and lots of highly relevant stuff.

    Notable: on their first LP, Millions Of Dead Cops, which came out in 1984 if I recall correctly, there is a trans-positive tune called America's So Straight. You wanna talk ahead of the curve...

  • This is the guy who wrote "867-5309" and "Perfect World" by Huey Lewis. He's also a friend of sorts, I got my dog from him and his wife. It's not famous but it's a decent tune, and anti-ICE as shit.

  • The sacrifice of staying on Linux after 20 years

    Jump

  • It's rather deliberate at this point. They are at war with general purpose computers, because we depend on those in order to have GNU/Linux, just as we depend on a free and open Internet to have this platform. If they can get the herd to fully embrace these locked-down infernal machines, that will be it, on a certain level. We will have RISC-V and the ability to deploy to FPGAs, but the voice of Little Brother will be heard only on their whim.

  • "we are exploring the possibility of bringing you full episodes" [to YouTube]

    Jump

  • I was reminded the other day that JMS was involved in Sense8, and a full five-year arc was planned, and I am angry all over again.

  • Learning Linux via AI

    Jump

  • Why not rsync directly? Why insert a network share to muddy the process?

    Anyways, this is pretty much the "good" use of AI, as I see it. Indeed, if models are more tightly trained to focus on one specific bit of data, such as the manual for an application, a locally-run LLM could transform the help menu into a chatbot that teaches you the app.

    This could be the future reality, if the "throw a firehose of money and a bunch of horrible code at it and hope we can charge people who have no money a lot of money to rent our bullshit" brigade are guillotined.

  • Someday, everyone will have always been against this.

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • It's a question of people caring. Many do not.

  • My response was clearly addressed to people who give a shit, which by your own words, you do not. Why are you bothering me?

  • "FOSS" and "GNU Linux" do not automatically mean "for the community" or "for human rights"

    Jump

  • "FOSS" is itself Newspeak.

    RMS created the concept of Free Software, which has an ethical basis regarding freedom, community, and your ability to use your hardware in any way you like.

    "Open Source" was invented by a corporate scumbag who noticed that Free Software was taking over all the server rooms and desperately needed to keep things on a profit-seeking basis. So he lifted the methodology and jettisoned the ethics, and called it Open Source.

    If you give a shit, don't go along with the gaslight. Never say FOSS - software is either Free as in speech, or Open as in corporate bullshit.

  • What decision was reached regarding the Manjaro 2.0 Manifesto?

    Jump

  • The video linked in another comment is just a guy with an annoying voice reading the manifesto, which you can do yourself here. You can even follow down the thread and get a sense of where things are going. It looks to me like a fork is in the offing.

  • Email 101 Book?

    Jump

  • This: https://mwl.link/run-your-own-mail-server.html

    I don't have this book by MWL, but, when I got my first Sysadmin job in 2015, I took over a network almost entirely run on FreeBSD, and I was gifted a couple of other books of his, in particular his ZFS volumes with Allan Jude, and I can say that his work is easy to read and good at giving you the most basic raw facts of the matter. If you really want to understand email, read this book and I guarantee you will get all the information you need.

    I am not his marketer, just a person who was helped immensely by his work. He's on the Fedi as well, you can search in Mastodon.

  • They're not handing over private crypto keys here. It's a database entry that the person installing the system can put whatever they like in.

  • What to study to be able to host a site?

    Jump

  • Understand what a Reverse Proxy is, because you will not escape reading that phrase.

    Host things with Docker for now. If you don't start hosting until you understand everything, you won't start for a long time and that is silly.

    Use Cloudflare for now, because they handle a lot of security stuff for you that you definitely don't want to screw up. If you don't know what Cloudflare is, read up on CDNs and why they exist. Their Zero Trust Tunnel is the easiest and safest way to go, as long as you don't plan to do anarchy or sedition on it, just talk about your household plants and dogs and what not and you're fine.

  • California sets emissions standards for cars, which US manufacturers then follow everywhere, because their market is so huge, it is most cost-effective to build for their standards, which are the toughest. What Cali does tends to spread.
