Huh, plasma arc cooktops for gas-like cooking without gas! Sounds really good for wok cooking and making every amateur radio user in a kilometres or so hate you!
Yesterday I learned that The Chemical Brothers’ Hey Boy Hey Girl’s lyrics aren’t “hey boys, hey girls”.
It’s a sample from The Roof is on Fire by Rock Master Scott & The Dynamic Three. The lyrics are “hey girls, b-boys, superstar DJs, here we go!”
But that song is also the basis of the song of the same name by The Bloodhound Gang. Then I realised I remember almost all the lyrics to the rap part of that song.
I don’t need to remember that! I need to remember the groceries!
I've seen a bunch of really weird "fixes" for copy.fail with strange modprobe things.
Add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/af_alg.conf or any .conf file in there you like:
blacklist algif_aead
I also disabled af_alg entirely because it's not useful on my machines:
blacklist af_alg
if lsmod | grep af_alg shows anything reboot, or use rmmod if you know how.
I keep seeing people say Mastodon is nothing like Twitter. And they’re right.
Mastodon is an echo of the old internet, it’s decentralised, chaotic. What you get depends on your sysadmin. You can’t search, everything has to be shared to you by a human. Networks split apart and rejoin. What you see is your unique connection to it.
Is this good? Maybe. But for me that’s the internet I grew up with. No algorithms, no targeted adverts, just human interaction, and it was glorious.
