Whaddya need that for, Dude?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_console

Right, that's what the & exit is supposed to prevent, since it's already logged out.

I did all of grad school with i3wm. And I spent a very, very long time in grad school...

I always ran startx & exit to prevent someone from VT switching to a logged in console if my screen was locked :)

Been a while but isn't that very insecure? Gotta run startx & exit ;)

I'll push back on that a little. Peloton has, from the beginning, been a very closed ecosystem.

Contrast this to the smart trainer I have which is marketed to cyclists (a Wahoo KICKR). It uses standard protocols to talk, and while they have some software available, it works independent of their ecosystem on standards compliant equipment (ANT+ and BLE). You can even talk to it using the open source GoldenCheetah software.

I would say I own this device. Sure I can't necessarily hack the firmware easily, but I can't hack the firmware on my microwave easily either, but I'd say I own that, too.

Right, you can control that behavior in bash with the HISTCONTROL variable, and in zsh with setopt HIST_IGNORE_SPACE :)

For 2., I think it's useful to put the origin at the status quo/current conditions.

For me, this helps to clarify my voting choices: if the candidate pushes you in the correct direction --- even if only a little --- then that's a good thing!

Linux is just as bad though --- .zsh_history records every command you run!

(/s, obviously...)

Honest question, are there any reasons why a private citizen performing this sort of thing would be legally less of a problem than the state?

From a philosphical perspective I'm all for catching mail thieves. But I would get a little twitchy hearing that the police are mailing tracking devices. And I would be more or less ok with a private citizen helping to "catch the bad guy" with their security camera, but I do not want police surveillance cameras on my street, thank you very much.

What's really neat linguistically is that "helicopter" isn't a compound of "heli" and "copter," but rather "helico" (as in helix, helical) and "pter" (as in pterodactyl).

"Rebracketing" is when this happens (i.e., the split in the word is moved in colloquial language).

Yeah, it's possible/probable that it was a dick move by some planning committee. But if I were wheelchair bound, I could imagine that being a) acknowledged and b) in the middle --- instead of always off to the side --- could be nice.

Does the stock necessarily get liquidated for these sorts of transactions though?

Obviously if I owe the bank $100, they will want that in cash, not in $SPY or whatever. But for the Twitter levels of debt could stock just be transferred without being sold first? (Not a rhetorical question, I don't know how this works.)

Where does $25M come from? ~260 work days in a year, and using the full 18k each way, is a little under $10M: $18,000×2×260 = $9,360,000

Still a ridiculous transportation bill, of course...

Edit: I think you increased the 18k by a factor of two instead of decreased, and used all 360 days instead of weekdays: $18,000×2×2×360 =$25.92M

Any chance you have a DMZ set up on your router?

On your router, are there any settings specific to any host (other than the server maybe)? For example, a static IP or a port forwarded rule.

Do you have a VPN on the phones? Can you traceroute from your phone to the server and post that? (I like PingTools for Android.) You should have 1 hop (you -> server, nothing in between).

Can you verify that you are on the same wifi including same wifi channel? Phone on 5GHz but Linux box on 2.4GHz, for example.

PingTools has been useful for me (though I mostly just use it for iperf).

Anybody want a peanut?

People need to stop buying the thinnest thing

Yeah, I think one of the problems is that thin is a familiar and commonly reported spec for a display. If MTTF were reported --- and it should be! --- then I think the problem would sort itself out.

Would a Buddhist bluff at poker?

(They say yes, bluffing in poker is fine, but false shit talking/"you should fold because my hand is so much better trust me!" is perhaps to be avoided.)
