There was a star trek novel dealing with it. I read it but don’t remember any details. My favorite along those lines was the ringworld books.

If the trouble shooters are all artless students then what do expect from whoever is running that website?

Another thing you can do under certain circumstances which I’m sure someone on here will point out is depreciated is use TCP Wrappers. If you are only connecting to ssh from known IP addresses or IP address ranges then you can effectively block the rest of the world from accessing you. I used a combination of ipset list, fail2ban and tcp wrappers along with my firewall which like is also something old called iptables-persistent. I’ve also moved my ssh port up high and created several other fake ports that keep anyone port scanning my IP guessing.

These days I have all ports closed except for my wireguard port and access all of my hosted services through it.

I suppose after he gets done there he will come after people like me who have blocked every musk related business from my network.

There’s a chance ad blockers are eating up the ‘Skip’ button while also failing to block the ad.

A CHANCE?

I’ll keep it in mind but will probably just keep doing what I do. I only reload every three or four years.

Haters are weird in the maga way.

Its probably fixed now but for years vlc suffered from several bugs on ubuntu the worst being it launching multiple windows despite having that disabled in settings. I started using the PPA and now I just skip ubuntu maintained versions.

I’ll use one if it is something more obscure. I do however replace things like firefox and vlc with the source repo.

I don’t care what some distro snob thinks… I use ubuntu and have few problems. I replace the snaps and move on. I’ve been using Linux longer than most of them have been alive. They can pretend that makes me behind the times but somehow I always seem to be ahead of them. Having made my stance clear.

I don’t care what distro they use. Why would I?

KSP 2 is a little better than its first release. I still main play KSP 1 in sandbox mode. If you have a problem with parts counts get a part fusion mod and combine parts to increase your FPS.

I’ve been playing since alpha. I bought it the first day it was on sale. I bought it on steam a second time. When the expansions came out they gave me them on the first purchase. I will do a career run every now and then but most of my games are sandbox games with huge multi launch space stations. I’ve been playing this go round for a about three months and when I get bored I’ll park it on a drive for several months then I’m back at it. I still get a kick out of manual(No Mech Jeb) mun landing and returns.

The only game I currently play is KSP. I’ve grown so tired of all the crap out there.

I’m not a dev exactly. But I got my Linux skills using Slackware and I still have no problem compiling something if there is no package for it. In some cases I will use a appimage(Cura) but for the most part I just install natively. I use ubuntu but always start eliminating snaps on any install and it really doesn’t take that long.

Its pretty standard thing to say to someone who thinks projects their emotional state onto someone else. Nothing about my statement suggested I ‘woke up on the wrong side of the bed’ It does however suggest you can’t take a rebuff and act childish about it.

Except for this one Debian machine I have to maintain. They will still disappear on ever restart. They will still be turned on in tweaks and the only way to get them to appear is to switch them from right to left. Luckily I don’t have to use it much.

Don’t push your emotional state onto me.

So the solution is I change my decades long habits. Sounds kinda like microsoft.
