yes, but you really don’t want to nat if you dont have to - gets too messy too quickly when direct IP connectivity is right there.

@shadowintheday2@lemmy.world parent comment is correct. check routes on device C. make there is either a default route or a specific route back to A via B.

they are. props, however, for system76 branching out into their in-house hardware.

wow! this must be the most “fuck you in particular” moment ever.

all good.points. my only retort is that its ineffective until its not. this direcyaction has an effect on a small number of people and I think the blowback is likely minimal - net positive? the people involved may geninely not ever engage in any other way on this issue. and if the marketing people are right, engagement is vital.

good question. it seems to work on me, but I don’t think I count.

I can say that when people in my orbit start talking about the direct action they have heard about (a few do), it is a possible entry point into a personal discussion on climate change. I don’t often pursue these openings, but I have gotten into 2 or 3 good conversations - apply exponential growth and …?

“excuse me, but do you have a moment to talk about our lord and saviour bringer of war and famine?”

so, I don’t know. but it feels like its a net positive.

respectfully disagree. its way too easy to normalize every disaster, every lie, every little “we’re all going to die anyway”.

I may be a sick minded outlier, but I am ok with this action and others. there is no damage done (soup on glass and cornflour on rock don’t count) and these people are putting their bodies and freedom on the line to keep people talking about what is likely the single biggest existential risk humanity has faced.in 50k years.

right now, any time this issue is in front of eyeballs (even if tangentially reported) its a win.

this thread is it in a nut shell. the x11/wayland situation can trip things when it really should be super seamless. that will be fixed soon enough.

if you are ok with an Ubuntu base (which these days is drifting further from its Debian base) then regular mint is great.

if forced…

1. Debian stable (or sid if you loathe/love yourself)
2. lmde
3. mint
4. something other than ubuntu
5. …
6. ubuntu

not hating on ubuntu, its just been moving away from where I am at.

quassel and quasseldroid. its client-server, always on irc connectivity but does require a little setup.

you can access irc servers (if acceptable) and the quassel daemon via Tor. might just change the way you think about irc.

edit: word

politics has never been logical.

you (yes, you in particular) are the reason why STP was invented.

I would normally suggest that this is more “networking porn”, but its just way too fetishistic for regular consumption. you animal!

there are reasons for that.

I understand your point here, but the “both sides bad” really loses the plot when the death, destruction and suffering by the most innocent is astronomically asymmetrical.

at this juncture I don’t give a shit if every combatant is the devil himself. stop the flow of kid killing weaponry and get appropriate humanitarian aid in.

20fucking24 and we still cannot pull our thumbs out of our collective asses, put the homicidal money machine into neutral and stop mowing down kids. fuck us all, every goddamn one of us.

brutalist take, but likely the correct one :-(

as is traditional, one of our corporate innovators seeks to protect citizens (never simply consumers, no, no!) with a defensive patent - sure to now be locked away in a safe until natural corporate patent expiration 1000 years hence.

now and forevermore we shalll sing in praise of this beneficent corporate citizen and their efficacious lawyerly thrust deep into the heart of our once inevitable (but now vanquished) future boring dystopia of ads beamed directly into our brains 24/7.

the Rust kernel could be many years away from being finished.

the number I saw floating around was 3 years to production useful. regardless, C’s end days as the go-to, large systems level language are drawing nigh.

what next level fuckery is this?! the text was perfectly spaced to elicit maximum mental “pop” when transitioning between foreground->background->foreground.

my squinty eyes are now upon you.

but, seriously. very cool.

gotcha. you likely know this already, but throw a little ddrescue - data recovery tool at it and let it marinate for a while.

however, depending on the state of the drive and ddrescue recovery option intensity, there might not be much left of the drive once it melts through the desk.

have fun!

not that you shouldn’t replace the drive anyway, but…

depending on the drive epoch (I am guessing its ide/ata not ST-506) you could try a factory format. with the right drive and phase of the moon, the on-drive controller may actually go off and do it for real instead of faking it. its usually worth a try an old drive just for funsies.
