The situation is more dangerous than when support for Windows 7 ended in early 2020. Even before the official date, at the end of 2019, only around 20 percent of users were still using Windows 7. Over 70 percent were already using the new Windows 10.

There is still ESET Endpoint for Linux, but that’s for business users only.
Regular ESET NOD32 for home Linux desktop users was discontinued in August 2022.

Yeah, told the genie I want to be smart. Motherfucker turned me into a car.

Sleep, wait until the end. Just keep mostly going as usual, I won’t care about anything afterwards.

Only difference, I’d donate all my money. Perhaps, I’d try to get one of those smaller loans some banks offer instantly (without giving a reason) and donate that too. Not sure if mine does that as well.

But perhaps if I wasn’t a coward and nobody knew I was going to die anyway, I’d attempt to commit suicide for statistical reasons.

Makes me think about time travel again, because in this case the event could be caused by the time travel. I mean, the traveller goes back in time to cause an event that already happened. Perhaps that’s the only reason why I was going to die.
Could it work this way?
Oh, wait, that’s how it was in Interstellar, no? If you travel to the past you can only do things that cause you to travel to the past and do the exact same things.
Huh…

I am getting off-topic.

In kindergarten, a small suction-cup hourglass. The suction cup has already decomposed, but the rest is fine.

Yes, I still have it.
Unlike the pony from MLP (Twilight Sparkle) I had to “borrow” forever to someone else from family because I was a boy and had no business having a “girl toy”. I also stole it in kindergarten. It was small, hard plastic figure coated with some plush-like coating. It was worn off at bottom of the legs.

I still remember it, I didn’t forget. Ironic. What I stole was stolen from me.

Hmmm, I used to steal roasted pistachios at Tesco as a kid. I mean, like every time I was there with my mom. Not that she cared.

What do you like to steal the most when in a supermarket in Minecraft?

and felt like I deserved more.

Most likely true.

But it seems it was given access to some sandbox and ability to run commands in it. It then copied over what it believed was itself.

scp project/model_20_09_2024.bin user@model_deployment_v2:project/model_27_09_2024.bin

Do you have an example?

The only time I can imagine someone asking someone else to smile is when taking photos.

Not anymore it seems.

We used to have lemmy.sdfcn.org, but it went the way of other SDF instances. This one I am on is the last one standing.

Well, there is a remnant of lemmy.sdfeu.org, or rather a second spin of it, but the certificate expired all the way back in 7th September.
lemmy.sdfjp.org - 502 and expired cert on 25th November 2023
lemmy.sdfin.org - no response

TCP-over-HF

I am quite interested in that. How did you achieve it? Is there some license-free band? As far as I know encryption is not allowed for any ham radio transmissions. What’s the bandwidth? It seems packet radio on HF is 300 baud.

I mean, why though? There’s so many gun people that could supply half the army from their own house yet it’s generally either seen as cool or even being protective of their own family.

So why not knives?

A bit unrelated, but if you have DD-WRT on WiFi router with USB, you can install Entware. There’s also a few games.

I used to play Tetris (vitetris) on my old WiFi router. I also tried to compile doom_ascii for MIPS, but I wasn’t successful and gave up. That was 5 months ago, so I basically forgot everything I tried already.
I have also tried to compile it directly on the WiFi router, but it kept crashing even when I killed all running services (including SSH and Telnet so I had to use console, at least it’s 115,200 baud) that weren’t necessary. I think 32MB of RAM was my problem.
Anyway, I doubt it would run on it anyway, but at least I tried.

List of games available (at least for MIPS): angband, cavezofphear, crawl, gnuchess, minesweep-rs, nethack, rcon, sudoku-tui, superstartrek, tty-solitaire, vitetris, zork.

Edit: Hmm, it seems at least very few Netgear switches may be supported by OpenWRT (e.g.: https://openwrt.org/toh/netgear/gs308t_1). Maybe there is potential to actually play games on that switch!

I’ll try, but I am not the smartest with lvl. 2 and 3.

Level 1: Sounding
Level 2: God Level 3: Wrongdoing

Manufacturers are allowed to add supplementary charging standards on top of USB-C PD

Controversial opinion: I wish this wasn’t the case. So many different proprietary protocols, most of the time you’ll still need a specific adapter, and in some cases even a proprietary cable to utilize the full speed, and nowadays most devices come without the adapter.
And there’s even PPS in the PD spec allowing to request for a specific voltage rather than something in an existing list.

But I do also have some personal grievances here:

1. Mi TurboCharge - This may be something based on PD, but still being something separate. I don’t know, but I do know it requires more pins than USB-A has. 5 pins. Somewhere I read this is connected to a CC pin in the USB-C connector. But no, they did not use USB-C, they used USB-A, with an extra pin. Only shortly before the phone died I finally figured out why it wasn’t charging as fast as expected - I wasn’t using their proprietary cable.

2. My current phone’s interference (?) with Qualcomm QC 2.0 - Somehow when using a cable with non-perfect connection on QC-compatible adapters, when I move the USB-A connector, it starts triggering 12V mode until it finally shows overvoltage error and slows down to 7W. QC 2.0 is how my USB tester identifies it. This is a MediaTek-based device, so I don’t think it would support QC. The original adapter uses PD and some 11V 6A thing with unknown protocol. Perhaps that is where the problem originates, I don’t know what data it sends down. But testing with OTG adapter on the original brick it seems the protocol needs the extra pins of USB-C to work properly.

I’ve had 3 phones that supported some fast charging, so far 2 of them made it into a confusing mess. Had they all used just PD it would have been a better experience.

Do they live with you? If not, I guess just sell it.

If yes, you’re probably as screwed as me.

Kind of 50:50. I use desktop sites on my phone too because mobile versions are too stripped down and I don’t want everyone’s apps with their 69,420 carefully selected data collecting partners.

And then I can comfortably use the same UI on my laptop.

But it still feels soooooooo much better. Mmmmmmmmm, physical keyboard.
