I would like to publicly curse the person who recommended that I try the Sim Settlements 2 mod for FO4.
You suck. I should have never met you.
Also, I do *not* have a problem and can stop any time I want to. Which is usually way too late at night.

@ljs True. But, equally true is that in space, nobody can hear someone play bagpipes, so I find this balances things out.

I like that post-space-travel quote by Shatner as much as the next guy, but I find it goes too far when contrasting the "deadly space" with "life-nurturing Earth."
Earth is where things are constantly trying to kill you. Space is where things kill you without even trying.

@wyatt8740 see, my experience predates CDROM drives. :) Back when I used DOS last, even 3.5 inch floppies were a rarity. I remember loading up Star Control 2 and being amazed that it actually played music through the PC speaker (my mom's Amstrad 286-compatible didn't have a real sound card).

@wyatt8740 I don't recall needing more than 2, tbh. One for my mom's work, one for playing games. :)

@wyatt8740 you just had a CONFIG.SY1, .SY2, etc, and copied the one you wanted over. Sometimes also a matching AUTOEXEC.BA1.

@williampietri the way to brute-force your way out of this confusion is to always end directory paths with '/.':
rsync -avP source/. target/.
rsync -avP source/. target/.

@kkarhan I'm happy that it works in your head, but in my head linkname is not destination, it's a shortcut *to* the destination.

I appreciate people saying that it's like `cp` or `mount`, but in my head the natural order of thinking about this operation is reversed: it's "create a link to this file" not "make this file also known as this link." Hence two competing "gut feelings" about which should come first. It also doesn't help that commands like "alias" work the opposite direction ("make a new command that is actually this another command").
Anyway, it was really just an observation that I confuse this all the time, and I'm not the greenest Linux admin around. :)

I've been admining Linux systems for 25 years, and I still have to check which one it is every time.

Her goal at the event is charitable . This is a collection for a sports prosthesis for the seriously injured defender #Oleksandr_Ryasny, a patient of the "#Unbroken" centre, who lost his right leg in the war.

Finally got power back at home. Thinking of people in Kharkiv who have been without power for days and who still don't know if and when they will get it back.

@Ertain vehicle-to-grid is becoming more common, thankfully. Our next car purchase will take that into consideration for sure.

Periodic lamentation about how stupid it is to have 80kWh sitting in my driveway and no way to use it for the rest of the house in emergencies.

@kernellogger because today is 4.04 :)
(Greg didn't tag the change, which is why it didn't trigger a rebuild. It should be updated shortly.)

gwire@mastodon.socialClosed source software doesn’t have backdoors.
It does have “undocumented administrative features” and “development tools mistakenly enabled in production”, but not backdoors.
