Pretty boat.

linuxguy ,

Hey, that's me!

linuxguy ,

If you're using LUKS don't forget you can dump/backup the header. It isn't the encryption key but is critical if you accidentally do a stupid. As to the keys themselves, how about convert them to qr codes, print them, and store them in a safe.

linuxguy ,

I got tricked. Thought this was going to be awesome content with a cool story and OP getting a fun windfall only to realize this is /c/funhole and it was even awesomest content.

linuxguy ,

Iddon't get this at all

linuxguy ,

Looks like a blowfish to me. Weird.

Another tarot card? "I came here to create"

linuxguy ,

Oh, that is definitely not a complaint! I'm still holding my breath for the full deck. I did a lot of wim hof breathing before starting the hold.

linuxguy ,

I engaged.

linuxguy ,

I don't remember smtp by hand any more!

500 you won't fool me with your incorrect line endings!

linuxguy ,

It was worth looking up how to do it by hand/magnetic needle.

linuxguy ,

I just updated from 2.3.1 and it seems fine. At least it didn't automatically nuke everything.

linuxguy ,

Cool idea for whoever started it. I'm sure the 7 sold already cover all their costs.

linuxguy ,

Would love a non-video source.

linuxguy ,

Hey, great! Thanks for following up.

linuxguy ,

Thank you for creating toe content.

A new study from UCLA Health has found that long-term residential exposure to the pesticide chlorpyrifos is associated with more than a 2.5-fold increased risk of developing Parkinson’s disease. The research, published in the journal Molecular Neurodegeneration, combines human population data with laboratory experiments showing how the pesticide damages dopamine-producing brain cells, providing biological evidence for the link.

Why sell the espp immediately rather than wait for preferred tax treatment when selling them?

linuxguy ,

But then you're paying full income tax on that 10% which drops it some pretty decent amount. If you can afford to hold on to the purchased shares until you get preferential tax treatment then you'd pay long term capital gains on them and that's much less than regular income tax rates. On top of that, you've got the movement of the underlying stock during the year that'll be taxed at cap gains rates rather than income. If you think the stock is going to trend down, maybe time to find a new job.

Thinkpad or a cursed book? [kamiokande dreams 0011] [link]

Full comic: https://kamiokan.de/dreams#0011_spikefield.png

spikefield creature: "choose wisely: thinkpad or a cursed book?" a thinkpad with two bullet marks and a cursed book in front of him. "thinkpad was in a mint condition - only two bulletmarks, which rarely happens these days... and a sticker that arguably increases the value of the article due to the cultural signigicance (sticker with debian logo and text 'lesbian'), even the proce was fair - free. I almost took the thinkpad, but the way he said 'a cursed book' made me reconsider, in the end I took the book - because I could read."

If your friends get upset over a lesbian sticker maybe get new friends.

linuxguy ,

Mmmm shrimp

linuxguy ,

I too thought about ctrl-alt-del when seeing this

linuxguy ,

Make a "landing" at the bottom of the stairs and rotate the door 90 degrees so it can be as wide as you want?

linuxguy ,

Last week I transferred stock that had sat the required two years in my employee stock purchase plan to my brokerage where it promptly sold and was used to buy some international index fund shares. I'm looking forward to doing this process again every 6 months as my ESPP shares "vest" or whatever the term is for their preferential tax treatment.

linuxguy ,

Thanks!

Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First ( www.pcmag.com )

The right to assemble and protest is enshrined in American law, but it can still be dangerous to hit the streets to make your voice heard. Your devices are a treasure trove of information about you, and you may not always know who's collecting that data. Take a few minutes before you go to assess your digital and physical ...

linuxguy ,

You've never heard of a stingray or cell site simulator?

linuxguy ,

I run a more-or-less single user instance. It's fine. Not the fastest page-loads but otherwise NBD.

Seeking advice for a "repeater" node

Hey folks, I'm totally new to the whole meshtastic thing, but I checked the coverage in my area and it is basically nonexistent. I'm not primarily interested in using meshtastic myself but I am super into the idea of deploying my own repeater node to expand coverage here for the folks who may want to use it or need to use it. ...

linuxguy ,

What you get for the price seems pretty reasonable. You don't need the GPS for a static node though; it'd just drain the battery faster.

Edit: meshtastic firmware moves quickly. Having a solar node way up high and hard to reach is cool and all but having one accessible for firmware updates would probably be better.

linuxguy ,

Nope, OTA isn't yet a thing with meshtastic

linuxguy ,

Check your local pawn shops

linuxguy ,

How much has been lost?

How much more will be lost?

Will anyone even notice?

spoiler

Will legs come back?

linuxguy ,

I shrimped so hard during class yesterday.

linuxguy ,

A deck with this theme would be cool.

linuxguy ,

If you ever get around to it, I'd buy it.

linuxguy ,

My wife wouldn't understand it but she'd be pleased with another deck, at least....

linuxguy ,

Is this goatse content?

Moonsword?

Thank you for creating no content

linuxguy ,

Did you try a press and hold / longer press on the button that doesn't do anything?

linuxguy ,

So bleeding edge

linuxguy ,

Upvotes and a reply because gnucash does it all.

Took me a while to find the snorkel

Katzenmadchen == cat girl

I dig this.

@kboyd@phpc.social avatar kboyd , to Sailing

sailing@lemmy.world icon Sailing Sailing question: On a Catalina 27, if you had a choice between a loose-footed main and a boltrope main (where it is attached for the full length of the boom), which would you prefer?

And how much work would it be to convert a boltrope boom to a loose-footed boom? (my assumption is virtually no work required, but I could be wrong)

linuxguy ,

I think loose footed is more modern but the sail has to specifically be cut for it. Attaching a bolt rope sail at just the corners probably won't perform well. Don't forget the loads on the ends of the boom VS the entire length.

linuxguy ,

Lol, not a bad position to be in. Maybe go with the better sails, everything else equal... Good luck!
