Yes. This is home-made out-of-band management, like HP’s iLO, Dell’s iDRAC, or generic IPMI. Not only is it a virtual KVM (keyboard/video/mouse), you can pass the host’s power button through this device so you can remotely power on or reset a hung or powered-off system, or mount and boot from a virtual floppy or ISO to completely reinstall the remote system.

I wish! I’ve got the hardware to support it, but neither of the two ISPs available at my house support IPv6.

Oh yeah, I’m also keeping a eye on that. Every time I see nvidia pop up in my updates, I try logging into Wayland and doing my usual tasks. If it starts working, that’ll just let me extend the life of this card. I’ll probably still strongly consider switching flavors with my next card.

This won’t be the year of the Wayland desktop for me unless I can afford to replace my Nvidia card this year. I’ll never buy one again, but I’ve still gotta suffer with the one I have a bit longer.

Israel is trading money for arms. We allow the president to authorize those sales. Ukraine is requesting that we give them shit. Financial appropriations require congress to approve. I don’t think it’s a matter of committing war crimes. If Ukraine wants to buy arms, I think Biden can bypass congress for those sales, too.

Do you deny that there has been a massive growth in the worldwide popularity of “avocado toast” in the past few decades?

Domain naming authorities require identification for the registration of domains. You cannot purchase domains anonymously. You can pay Njalla and they own the domain, and they’ll tell you that you can control it, but you have no rights to it in any kind of dispute.

I’ve been running a script every 60 seconds for 2 months now as a cron job and it still hasn’t been able to create a VM in their US datacenter. I just have a log full of “insufficient host capacity” errors.

“This software is not licensed for use in the EU. Any use therein is expressly prohibited by this license.”

Problem solved.

I edit everything in my local copy of the repository and then push the changes to my devices with ansible.

Same way.

(Also, antipope is a subjective word, like heretic. From the perspective of various sects, the Pope Francis is the antipope.)

I thought the Church claimed an unbroken line of popes going back to the apostle Peter.

Wouldn’t any competitor only have a legitimate claim if they named their first pope during the brief downtime between popes? Otherwise they’re just another protestant sect.

xjack is one of my all-time favorite programs.

Shit, it’d be good money for the US weapons suppliers to fund those cheap drones that generate multimillion dollar sales for them.

Did you really fucking say that to a wheelchair user?!

I only back up things that would make me sad if I lost it or cause me a lot of time-sensitive work. Personal data files and configuration files. Media? I wouldn’t sweat it if my media drive got corrupted by malware or a hack or a lightning strike. I’d just live with a smaller library until I get things re-download again. And I’d be ok if I can’t find a handful of the rarer things. Pictures of my family? Backed up locally and on a remote server with immutable backups. Configuration files? Synced with a remote git repository.

Didn’t they basically take all the slow bits and rewrite them in not electron?

Next time you’re in front of the comment box about to add some pointless snark to the world, don’t. Then sit back and reflect on how you made the world a better place through inaction.

The West checking in. I’ve lived in the US and various European nations. While we have vastly different ideas of how to run our own countries, we’re still generally of one mind when it comes to our thoughts on North Korea, PRC, etc. So I’m ok with lumping us all into one big moniker.
