Super Thunder Blade did this, same era too.

CGNAT is good. One more layer of obfuscation between me and the internet.

Sucks for those wanting to run services from home I guess.

Yes, this link has been disabled as per (dumb) organisation policy.

Ok. Did a quick read. And I think I mixed my words a little.

Yes, Active Directory supports TOTP fine.

But my understanding is rollouts can disable TOTP, and instead force the use of the proprietary scheme requiring the MS Authenticator app (which also supports TOTP) that uses push notifications to the device.

As is the case with my employer. They didn’t enable TOTP, and I am unable to use the provided MFA QR code with 1Password.

Afaik, Microsoft’s OTP implementation is proprietary and not TOTP.

But also, my understanding is you can select which MFA schemes you can use, and allow SMS, MS MFA, and TOTP.

Source: employer used to allow sms, locked it down, and totp apps can’t parse the MS authenticator QR codes.

If you ignore the mildly abusive familial relationship. Sure.

Yes, because my imported car tunes to a foreign radio station that doesn’t exist when you first turn it on, the “source” button cycles through all 27 of the pre-programmed foreign radio stations then moves onto digital radio then CD and then Bluetooth, but picks my wife’s phone first, and needs to fai before allowing you to move onto the next phone.

Honestly, I just drive in silence most of the time.

I’m old, I have other shit to do, and I don’t have the time. If I’m writing code, I’m doing it because there is a problem that needs a solution. Either solving someone else’s ‘problems’ for $$$, or an actual problem at home.

If it’s a short term problem like “reorganising some folders” I’m not going to (re)learn another language. I’m going to smash it out in 30mins with whatever will get the job done the quickest, then get back to doing something more important.

If it’s an ongoing problem, I’m going to solve it in the most sustainable way possible. I might fix the problem now but 100% someone’s going to drop support or change an API in 2 years time and it’ll break. Sure, doing it in Chicken would be fun. But the odds are, I won’t remember half the shit I learned 2 years later. It’ll be unmaintainable. A forever grind of learning, fixing, forgetting.

So without a commercial driver to actively invest in Lisps, there’s no point. It’s not profitable and It doesn’t solve any problems other tools can. Without the freedom youth brings, I don’t have the time to do it “for fun”.

I love lisp. Well, scheme and less so clojure. I don’t know why. Is it macros? Is it the simplicity? Or is it just nostalgia from learning it during a time in my life.

But I just can’t find a place for it in my life.

It’s not job material, effectively nobody uses it. It doesn’t solve basic problems with ease like Python does.

And because of this, anything I do in it is nothing more than a toy. As soon as i put it down, I have no hope of picking it up or maintaining it in 6,12,24 months later.

A toy I spend 2 weeks in absolute joy, but as soon as life gets in the way it is dead.

Move to NZ. It’s nearly all c# here.

My brother behaves weird with Linux (fedora 39 silverblue).

When doing multiple copies of double sided printing, it’ll print [1|2] [1|1] [2|2] [1|1] [2|2] and then repeat until you realise you now have onen copy of what you want and 10 pages of one side, and 10 pages of the other side.

It’ll also randomly refuse jobs, and then print them 30 minutes later (lmao if you printed multiple copies, gave up and went for a walk)

My Panasonic I replaced it with was better, but you had to download binary blobs to make it work.

But, Linux has gotten more and more complicated in the last 20 years I really can’t be fucked working out if it’s the printer, cups, flatpacks, the app that’s printing, or all of the above.

Now I just email myself a PDF and print from my phone. Fucking stupid but it works.

Do state cases stay state cases?

Could “someone” leak some evidence that would make the case a federal one, and then pardon himself?

The host was stable. And I was compiling the kernel for hardware and vfio reasons anyway, so why not compile everything and it’s not like there was a lot to compile.

Tips: don’t

Performance was ok. Lots of fiddling required on both host and guest to get performance close to native.

I used to have Gentoo running a Libvirt hypervisor, which would then run multiple short lived isolated windows and Linux machines with GPU passthrough for all the different companies and projects I was working on.

Spent far too much time keeping the guest machine images up to date, and all the configs and stuff managed and synchronised.

Then my laptop died that I was using to manage everything so I gave up.

It never gets read, but your account gets a “does not follow instructions” counter added to it.

The staff then laugh about you on their smoke break.

A splash of milk (probably any dairy?) in stews and meat based sauces just before serving.

If I were building it, I’d do the watermarking on the individual assets & textures.

Your asset pipeline would publish these to the solution, which would pack it up ready for distribution.

Except, each beta tester logs into the game and the publishing system gives them a personalised set of assets with a unique noise filter thrown over the top.

Mr leaky beta player publishes a video or screenshot of the gameplay, and then the studio can just reverse the noise algorithm to get their unique ID.

Absolutely terrible for large scale content delivery. But for a small closed beta, probably not an issue.

Ditto… ish.

In my dream I mixed up some constraints of the real-world system. I still came up with an elegant solution that would have worked if the dreams constraints were true. Except they weren’t and the solution was useless.

Bonus was the dream-solution exposed a “front door” so to speak on the real problem and I felt dumb that I even spent 5 minutes thinking about it.
