  • Mega corporations like nestle get their money from us normal civilians not caring about what we consumes impact on the environment.

    Like if you literally disbanded nestle over night, not even splitting them up or selling things off but somehow just got rid of them and all their product’s… does the negative impact on the environment go away? or do new companies grow to meet the unmet demand and all that’s changed is what company is providing cheap goods at the expense of the environment?



  • You’re not wrong, but in my case and presumably others there already are USB ports and relevant drivers for both playback of media files, and funny enough for applying security patches or other updates.

    In practice I think the concern becomes most USB storage devices are not intended to be constantly written to, while vibrating from the car, and it would definitely destroy data and cause support complaints. But it’s still annoying all the hardware and most of the software I want is there and wouldn’t take that much more to do what i want… but instead if they ever do decide to let us use the built in cameras as a dashcam, I expect it will require replacing my entire car with a new model


  • same but that also just brings up another rant about modern cars. mine has surround view cameras -so you can see a birds eye view when parking. it’s really nice. but then why do I have to suction cup a dash cam right next to the built in camera and run a USB cable around my car? please just let us plug in a USB storage device and use the built in cameras as a dash cam.


  • growing it like a garden is a perfect phrase imo

    because on windows or Mac it may have just worked. …until it doesn’t, or leaves your windows scaled wrong or placed on monitors that don’t exist or some other failure condition. at which point you reboot and hope for the best.

    when it doesn’t work on Linux I’d check logs, actual configuration, and even the source if I need to.and then I’d hopefully improve things and make it work the way I want it to.

    it sounds like you understand the value of using water to clean your butthole after you poop… so why not spend the $30 on a bidet just in case you ever do have a poop and don’t want to shower? or hell just so you don’t use as much TP before hopping in the shower. or for anyone else using your toilet and not wanting to hop in the shower…




  • If adopt systems then the question is easy to answer: no, journald does everything you need.

    without adopting systemd… well. Are you evaluating going without any log handling at all and maybe just dumping logs ephemerally to tty0? DIYing all log stuff like your init scripts DIY things?

    Personally if I had to go without journald I’d probably go back to using syslog-ng. But I guess there’s an argument for shipping straight into something like opentelemetry-collector if you’re willing to put in a lot of work.






  • You should look into IPMI console access, that’s usually the real ‘only way out of this’

    SSH has a lot of complexity but it’s still the happy path with a lot of dependencies that can get in your way- is it waiting to do a reverse dns lookup on your IP? Trying to read files like your auth key from a saturated or failing disk? syncing logs?

    With that said i am surprised people are having responsiveness issues under full load, are you sure you weren’t running out of memory and relying heavily on swapping?



  • There was the original quake/quake world team fortress, ported reasonably accurately to halflife as TFC officially

    Unofficially pretty much every game that was moddable at the time had some variant of fortress. unreal fortress, quake 3 fortress, enemy territory fortress(basically q3f but made free by porting to a free game)… and even when halflife2 came out that trend continued and the community made Fortress’s Forever.

    All of those games feel very much the same, some with slight additions, but all clearly the same ‘DNA’.

    And then there’s TF2 which released with a last minute decision to remove both grenades and the class specific utility grenade. And RNG crits. And then over time they even added ways you could majorly change how each character played as cosmetic only hats were replaced with things like turning the demonan into a melee knight…

    I’m not saying all of this to still be rehashing complaints about TF2 in 2024… but just to add some context when I say that TF2 was a huge departure from the DNA of Team Forteess, and it’s totally okay for TF3 to change things up yet again.

    Many TF2 diehards will consider it disrespectful and complain, just as I made these same complaints when TF2 released. But it will be okay. TF3 would get its own audience and get a new generation loving it the way you love TF2 and I loved TF
