Self Help
  • I get the joke, and certainly not all self-help books are good, but also people are unique and at different places in their lives. With just a little introspection one can probably tell which book would be better for them. Maybe they say yes too much and would benefit from learning how and when to say no; or they say no to everything and would benefit from learning to embrace new experiences.

    Or, you know, pick one up and thumb through a few pages.

  • the rule of patriarchy inflicts all
  • I highly recommend reading the rest of the book. bell hooks acknowledges the roles that women play in inflicting the harms on boys and men. Reading that book was the most understood I had ever felt as a cis man who until then didn't really know what feminism was about.

  • Files [Admiral Wonderboat]
  • I don't know what those flags mean, but from context I think this is a command I've needed a bunch of times but haven't had the time or energy to learn about yet. So thanks! I can't wait to try it!

  • People in New York trying to help the cops find the shooter
  • I did, but then my family had this movie on VHS when I was younger and I've probably watched it like 100 times. It came on TV once when I was on the phone with my friend and I quoted all the lines just ahead of the TV. I bet that annoyed the shit out of her.

  • Being an adult
  • I just moved to a place with a well last year. I'm generally pretty handy but the whole well system is basically a black box to me at this point.

    I'd ask you questions but frankly I'm not ready to absorb the information, but I know I'm gonna need to sooner or later. Probably sooner, it's still the original pump from 1977.

  • History repeats
  • Until the literature and media ran out.

    Man, I easily completely forget shit from 10 or 20 years ago, I bet if you just keep creating you could entertain yourself for a lot longer!

  • rule
  • In addition to what the other person said, (in the US) if the connection was made between sockets on different circuits, the voltage potential between the two hots could be 240v, making the hot wire a huge heating element, thus the fires.

    As I understand it, one typical use case for these things is Christmas lights, and getting confused by a big tangle of light strings makes plugging in both ends in very different places an easy mistake to make.

    Also I wouldn't take for granted that your outlets are wired correctly.

  • The last temptation of Donald Trump: How he lured evangelicals to follow Satan
  • Ohh, Trump is the antichrist. End times confirmed?

    Growing up Bible-literalist religious and reading Revelations, I always had trouble with the idea that so many people would follow the antichrist, but that part seems so much more believable now.

  • Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)
  • Just a note on the "toxic" thing - when folks talk about "toxic masculinity" they're generally not talking about men being toxic or claiming that masculinity is always toxic. Toxic masculinity refers to the perversions of masculinity; things like "I must commit violence to defend my honor" or "I must never express 'soft' emotions". Men and masculinity are good things that can and should be celebrated as much as all other identities.

  • Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions)
  • That was exactly my reasoning when I switched to sitting every time. Sometimes the stream just decides to pick some unpredictable direction to start, if I sit down I've got a hemisphere of protection and no need to clean my piss off the floor (or worse, leave that for someone else).

  • "In a first, cryptographic keys protecting SSH connections stolen in new attack"

    An error as small as a single flipped memory bit is all it takes to expose a private key.

    In a first, cryptographic keys protecting SSH connections stolen in new attack

    I read most of this article trying to determine if I was impacted, so to save you the trouble:

    > The researchers traced the keys they compromised to devices that used custom, closed-source SSH implementations that didn’t implement the countermeasures found in OpenSSH and other widely used open source code libraries.
