Haha same! Also mine are christofascist hypocrites and I haven’t spoken to either one of them in 25 years

For us Linux users (BTW), this wtfismyip script just dumps a text string. Just save it to /usr/local/bin or some other location in your path and make it executable, and install the lynx text www browser if you don’t have it installed already.

There are a lot of ways to do this, but this works and I’m lazy…

root@tux:~# cat $(which wtfismyip)
#!/bin/bash

printf "%s\n" "Your fucking IP address is $(lynx -dump -nolist http://wtfismyip.com/text)."

root@tux:~# wtfismyip
Your fucking IP address is 13.107.226.41.

Not claiming it’s the reason since it clearly isn’t, only that it will help drive traffic to commercial AI products.

If RAM and GPUs were cheap people like us would be more likely to set up local LLMs to prevent our data from being productized by power-grabbing corporations.

Why should the rest of us suffer because RFK Jr is an idiot?

Don’t forget Trump.

Of course I agree that Trump is an idiot, but he’s also a belligerent narcissist. From what I’ve read his staff didn’t know the tariffs were coming until he started imposing them on random countries via social media.

Myself, I know Trump is sicker than his handlers have let on so I’m just waiting for him to die.

Can confirm. I upgraded from a 6-bay to an 8-bay enclosure and added two more drives without issue.

What a bunch of clowns

Honestly wondering if this was done deliberately by DOJ tech folks who weren’t on board with the cover-up.

Apalrd’s Adventures did a video on setting up a nginx server to cache Debian/Ubuntu updates. As it happened I had an old, brittle apt-cache server that was taking up a massive amount of space. This guy did all of the heavy lifting and I had his solution running in like 10 minutes. I have a proxmox cluster with about two dozen VMs running Debian and Ubuntu, so this was perfect.

Any of you other Linux weenies out there should give this guy a subscribe. He’s the real deal.

That’s what I did when they banned 3rd party APIs. I remember when Reddit was great, but I have no interest in the sewer it has turned into.

116 million visits per day, minus all the bots and other garbage, is… half that number as real, actual visitors? Less than half?

Good.

As long as I can disable it idgaf

Honestly, I’m fine with that. I was in university back in the early 90’s, and the majority of folks on Usenet were either in university, or worked for large businesses or the government. The level of discourse was surprisingly high, especially compared to the sewer that is the modern internet. I dumped reddit a couple of years ago when it closed off access to 3rd-party apps, and I’m happy to leave it for the karma farmers, bots, and AI slop. I much prefer Lemmy.

I won some Tupperware at bingo in the church basement when I was nine years old.

I have a similar one as well for debian-based operating systems…

dist-upgrade() {
    sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove
}

To get this to work without a password, i dropped a file in /etc/sudoers.d that allows anyone in the sudo group to sudo apt without a password.

root@tux:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/apt

# Cmnd alias specification
Cmnd_Alias COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg

# Use apt commands without a password
%sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: COMMANDS
