That's right. I sent her forces into a disorderly retreat and prevailed on the battlefield.

Route her? Well I hardly know her!

Not only did I unbrick it, I now have IPv6 which wasn't working before! 🥳

congrats on recovering the situation

One of my driving motivations to go get new glasses is it has become to difficult to read for pleasure. Reading is one of the things that makes life worth living.

does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router?

yeah, ansible works very well with raspbian, and just debian in general. openwrt uses like overlayfs and is very limited compared to a normal linux system, so although you could probably get ansible to work (it just needs ssh and python on the target system), it sounds like it'd be painful.

and why did you choose a compute module?

chip shortage, that was the only model i could get at the time. also the ethernet hat was like purpose-made for what i wanted a pi for.

i appreciate you sharing this experience!! i have been considering doing something similar with openwrt. does working on the pi offer you any automation / relief from the openwrt woes you had on the old router? and why did you choose a compute module?

it was so sad when he tthrew it out :( no chrissy believe in your dreams

MUST

When I read Eire I think of the Irish name for Ireland (Éire) so pronounced it like "air-ah" in my head but is it intended to just be like "air" or "ear" or something else?

I saw an AI generated advertisement for adult diapers and I thought it was created by an enthusiast of the diapers. It seemed oddly endearing, but I didn't understand why he was posting it in the "Aged Urine Therapy" group I'm in.

But it turns out it was created by the person who manufactures them at home and sells them exclusively on Amazon dot com.

This group isn't funny like I thought it would be, it's actually quite sad. The people drinking their urine are people who are far down a path of desperation.

So I also feel like Dr. Manhattan sometimes

you're like the dr manhattan of posting

Let me know if you find a solution. The loss of clarity of message is hard to swallow. Especially as English proficiency wanes in the population, I'm struggling between the desire to simplify my language so that people can understand me, and the desire to be Erudite and Articulated.

It might help to focus on the social aspect? "That's fucked up" might convey parts of what "that's crazy" would.

good point good point

I think it's good that you're not numb to the sight

Yea but consider this: number go up!

Yeah those seem like pretty good times. I pick running back up each springtime and it's always more like, "very slow jogging" so I don't even record my times!

i think you're wrong about this. anyway, time to read the news.

I always got the vibe that the scorn was for people who were doing it just to look good but didn't actually care or were fairweather friends. Like, if you're an ally you should be doing it because it's right, not going around bragging about how good you are to those poor, benighted trans people.

On the other hand sometimes people take it a bit far and are dismissive like you say, which I can get, i understand it, I don't think anyone should be too broken up about it. But it does suck to feel like you're trying to do the right thing for someone even though they seem not to really like you very much.

It's complicated I think. It's good to express appreciation for people being with you, but at the same time you don't want to feel like someone is lording something over you.

God willing. 🙏🏼

i am hooting and hollering for this for you hoppet

I do think the borderline scorn toward allies, in addition to just like kinda sucking, was a horrible tactical move that set things back pretty badly (and like tbc I was totally on that bandwagon back in the day, I am not immune to social trends).

I think there's been a lot of nuance lost in the sense of like.... "It is not anyone's personal responsibility to praise an ally for being an ally" is true, but that is NOT the same thing as "allies should perpetually be on thin ice and shouldn't get praise for anything short of heroism and if they want to feel good about doing small good things that's proof that deep down they suck actually"

To the extent that anyone "deserves" anything, people deserve praise for doing positive things whether that's doing the dishes or deciding to stick up for marginalized people whose circumstances they might not viscerally understand. We are all just silly little monkeys made of meat and positive feedback has really consistent effects on our little monkey brains! That tiny little tickle of reward for doing the bare minimum makes people want to do the bare minimum more, and makes it easier/more appealing to take bigger steps past that bare minimum!

The boom-bust cycle of tech is well known, and the AI one we're going through is one of the most clearly prepared for I've ever seen. Microsoft in particular is set to cash out once the bust goes through, the terms of their investment in OpenAI is such that when they bust they essentially get the whole company with no fuss. Meta is the only company that seems to be hugely exposed to failure once the bust happens (massive investment but little to show for it, the rest of their company is hurting very badly) but they're the only company I can see actually being hurt. And I'd be surprised if they actually disappear, I'm sad to say.

The only thing that could actually hurt these companies is if Chinese technology is allowed to flow freely into the US, and the government is going to step in before that happens. This will fuck over everyone but major tech companies.

I will always wish for consequences, but I'm not expecting them this time.
