Anarchy Easter Eggs
  • Ok, I guess this is a matter of opinion, but 'cops going around asking people about some purple rocks' just doesn't pass the sniff test for me

  • Anarchy Easter Eggs
  • Surely the point is that the OP couldn't possibly have known what the authority thought about their painted stones, unless:

    1. they had a personal contact, which is quite the omission

    or

    1. the authorities were putting up posters around town, interviewing door-to-door etc
  • Adding storage - Best options? (External USB drives, automatic decryption, media, etc.)
  • +1 for borg + hetzner storage box, though externals do give pretty good value for some uses. I have all my movies/tv on a 6tb external and it would have cost so much more to do it any other way

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?
  • I'm trying out Arch on my laptop atm, and tbh the only real advantage (at least for me) is that the packages tend to be a lot fresher than on Debian-based distros. The question is how many of your packages you really need to be that fresh.

    I think a lot of Arch users feel like wizards because they connected to the home wifi using the command line, but if you've tinkered with (/broken then had to fix lol) other distros, you will have done all this stuff before

  • TIL that his museum says that "Roald Dahl’s racism is undeniable and indelible"
  • Jonathan Pryce received a fair bit of criticism in the nineties for his "politically correct" (read, not explicitly antisemitic) portrayal of Fagin in the musical Oliver!. Listening back to the cast recording, it's actually a revelation — Reviewing the Situation, which had always been played for antisemitic laughs, is suddenly revealed as an incredibly powerful song, brimming with pathos.

  • Help me on my (rule)ablurary
  • If you can't see the tankie in the room...

  • Help me on my (rule)ablurary
  • So many tankies in this thread smdh

  • Venezuela election: Maduro declared winner in disputed vote
  • Yes I agree 100%. There's no other way to do it.

  • Venezuela election: Maduro declared winner in disputed vote
  • For 'pro-business' read 'swingeing privatisation' but yeah the whole thing is a mess, and I'm not sure it's possible to have 'free and fair' (whatever that means) elections under such conditions.

    Wrt reasons to doubt the result, electronic vote counting/voting machines are reason enough imho — but that throws a load of other democracies into question 🤷

  • Venezuela election: Maduro declared winner in disputed vote
  • Not saying that nothing fishy has gone down, but that 'exit poll' was conducted by the opposition, and that margin seems ridiculous considering the crowds that Maduro has been drawing

  • The More You Know
  • I honestly hadn't given it this much thought lol, but there are muscles and elasticity involved which I imagine has something to do with it? I'm just relaying the advice of doctors tbh!

  • The More You Know
  • It's not my job to explain hydraulics to you

  • The More You Know
  • 👮 FUN POLICE HERE 👮 you should actually be careful doing this, because it can cause backflow into your bladder, leading to infections

  • Let's bring back the webring.
  • Yeah I remember very clearly — they introduced advertising and the whole thing went immediately to shit 🤷

  • Let's bring back the webring.
  • Gonna add my voice to those calling for a foss stumbleupon

  • Always try sudo
  • Top-tier endangerment bait lmao

  • how easy is it to install arch?
  • Yes, but what if you need to download additional drivers for your wireless card

  • Stay Mad, Tankies
  • I'd vote for a candidate who only communicates via ouija board over Trump.

    Give it a few months

  • how easy is it to install arch?
  • It's not rocket science. You might need a wired connection to begin with though

  • "In fact, let me take a few pages to describe how much I can't describe this"
  • Also, I feel like both Howard and Lovecraft were prone to incredibly lengthy descriptions of things
