@timbray@cosocial.ca this link has documentation on what is likely a more comprehensive solution...

@cwebber@social.coop so do I run DOS3.1 on my desktop behind a router based on Gentoo with a 7.2 kernel, or a DOS router and Gentoo desktop?
Some days being at the same company for a long time can be hard on your ego.
I just found a mistake I made like ten years ago and missed until now...
Wait a minute...
>> A single carefully crafted UDP packet to ... port 389 overflows a stack buffer inside the LSASS process, corrupts the memory, and crashes the process. The server reboots about 60 seconds later.
Like, how hadn't this been found in the decade plus before this?

Eldest spawn's significant other came along with us on our last vacation, so I asked for their vacation photos so I could make one master album. It's cool that we went on the same trip, and yet they took some completely different photos. They saw things we didn't.
Oh, and they took some cat pictures too :-)
Seems like a keeper!

The parts are bought by the OEMs as assemblies, and installed as assemblies. They aren't interested in fixing them as it's cheaper to use whole units that robots assemble.
No attempt to kill the aftermarket - the aftermarket is happy to sell whole wiper motors instead of almost zero profit bushings springs and brushes, and one part instead of 1000 per car.
Lots of things have changed, and may be anti consumer, not arguing that, but it's driven by costs and requirements.

@graydon @cstross again, wasn't the intention.
Modern headlights throw a lot more light than any old headlamp, and aerodynamic styling and mileage drives custom swept shapes that aren't standard
We used to replace bulbs often, now it's only when defective or damaged.
There was no conspiracy to kill the aftermarket

GM supplied them for my truck a good nine months after purchase, along with the seat warmer controller computer.
Gave me a discount for it at least.

@nazgul@infosec.exchange I wonder how the heck they verify accuracy? I mean if you're expecting ancient Greek and you get ancient Greek, because it's been trained on ancient Greek, that's not proving it's not mostly "hallucinating"
Interesting stuff!

@jmaris@eupolicy.social @kde@floss.social nice!
I wonder if there's some way I could help as an individual, rather than a 'repair collective' or user group

@b0rk@social.jvns.ca Does that mean they should be called 'paths' not 'branches' ?
I guess path gets confused with file path...

I tried Nirsoft's Monitor Info View
On my desktop LG montiors they both show a blank for serial number in #EDID info.
A random Acer monitor I had handy clearly showed a serial #.
So yeah, looks like the monitors themselves are to blame.
Still wish something like XRandR was possible in #Windows...

@eternaltyro@mastodon.social playing with this.
looks like
sudo -u otherUser journalctl -e --user --unit other.service works, but you have to specify the user
I would have thought niavely that sudo journalctl -e --user --user-unit other.service would work, but it doesn't

@philiph@hachyderm.io at work I have two identical monitors that windows cannot tell apart. It's 50-50 whether they are correct or not every single time....
And you can't script flip the monitors left-right...
Sigh

@dlakelan@mastodon.sdf.org way over simplified, and misleading.
Works fine against the guy that stole your laptop at the coffee shop, and you can choose to not give ms the key.
It's not perfect, but it does what it should for most people
