Uhh wait, but Vader is younger than Padme!

Well, to be honest the ruble has been sucking for a while:

However, it now sucks more.

I have wireguard for other purposes but I also have ssh open on a different port. I don’t much understand the argument of exchanging ssh for wireguard. In the end, we’re just trading an attack vector for another.

My ssh only allows connections from my user. If I’m using password auth, I also request a 2FA.

Tail scale is also a good idea but I don’t like having my control plane under someone else’s control.

Holy shit, came here to say that. Nothing compares to the pain of having a tube inserted in your urethra all the way down to the bladder, and as the tube is turned (it’s a camera) it hits the sides of the bladder and it starts to bleed, and it burns like nothing I’ve felt before.

Go

It’s like C with better syntax and without memory management annoyances. It also comes with a decent standard library and making concurrent programs is a breeze. As a bonus it generates static binaries which, granted, are big but in most cases can be copied to any other Linux workstation and executed directly.

I’m not a Biden superfan either but I think people need to be aware of the reality. I have kids that don’t feel like voting because “Biden does not excite them”. While he doesn’t excite me either, it’s important to understand that not voting for Biden is essentially a step in the direction of the “other guy”, which happens to me MUCH MUCH WORSE than Biden.

It’s naive to think that you can go from a to z without going through b, c, d, etc… We don’t vote for the ideal candidate, we vote for one that at least seems to be pointing in the right direction and has a chance to win.

Also remember that this whole “both sides are the same shit, so why vote” idea was spread around exactly to discourage people from voting. It’s key to be mindful of that.

Ask around the table who has fast reflexes. Get a $10 bill, scrunch it a bit and put it on the table (a bit like a ball). Ask the person to position their hand some 4 inches above the bill, palm down. Then, position your hand much higher (1.5ft) also face down and bet that person that you can grab that bill before they do.

It’s misleading because of the distance but if you’re just normal fast by the time they react you’ll already have the bill in your hands.

With blue eyes or else…

In fact most countries with names starting with “Democratic” or “People’s” are not democratic at all…a true democratic country does not need to advertise it in its name.

Same goes for human titles like “Honorable” for instance.

I have some intelligent and caring friends and it boggles my mind how they still think Musk is a “net positive”. Every day we hear some new example of his recklessness, support of extremist regimes, double standards and generally making the lives of people around him worse.

He probably has but Elon only uses the Tesla standard plug.
