    How about in neither willing not capable to pay a few k for a fucking door knob just for it to be custom made and beautiful.

    This dip shit is comparing what would nowadays be Trumps or Musks door.

    How about we create a world in which you didn’t need a degree for beautiful things to be created?

    I don’t know why I find this so infuriating to me, it feels soo wrong on so many levels.





  • For mobile devices I don’t share that experience. I do not expect others to have USB A anymore. MacBooks alone are so widespread that they were enough to get sna adapter.

    It’s the same for displays: if I have to give a presentation I’m making sure I can do next to everything down to and including VGA.

    Yes it’s the venues job to take care of that but I’ve been in one place that literally went like “can’t you just connect?” to their apple bullshit.

    That Apple is rotten to the core in many topics is nothing I feel needs discussing - this includes specifically their hostile stand and compatibility.

    I honestly don’t even see an issue with the adapters though: it’s 5gram, 2(ish) Euro and sometimes I can even be the compability savior and people are forced to listen to me bitching about Apple!






  • oh you’ll get this reply from me in any community that you’ll attack without attempting to join.

    MAM is one of the friendliest places in existence and instead of interacting with the people and just asking for help the statement is “you all suck”.

    we’re not taking about elitist bullshit but about entitlement. My tone was way more friendly than the one OP chose after all, consciously though.

    If they’d said “I don’t know what to do” the answer would’ve been very different.

    Your comment is just … fitting. Calling me a representation for a cancerous behavior that I called out in OP: unreflective entitlement “my ways are correct”.

    I don’t engage with private tracker communities beyond mam for that reason:

    single sentence judgments, no explanations, blaming others…



  • Or is the quintessential immutability.

    Yes.

    It’s also a completely different way to handle … everything.

    Do not think about nixos if you want to know what to try for gaming.

    Do look at it id you want to learn the ins and outs of … Well, to be honest nixos. But I’ve learned a lot about standard paths that everyone expects to be there and hell’s loose if they aren’t.

    Python runs amok if it can’t write into it’s beloved lib folders, nginx is utterly confused why it can’t generate certificates on startup (read only folders), deployment dependencies are absolutely visible - and if you fick up the whole system just goes “nah, take a step back and think about what you just did”.

    I’m now pushing two years on my server and I’m still not sure if I’d recommend it - but I for sure enjoy it!



  • Incidentally, the pure chocolate chip cookie is most often sold as American Cookie!

    But the cookie clicker was a pure associative jump I have to admit - it wasn’t my first contact with chocolate cookies :)

    But traditionally the hike baked cookies have a huge variety especially around Christmas. There really are several items that I personally would not count as cookie but which are called that regionally apparently. Vanillekipferl from the south or Kokosmakronen from I have no idea where.


  • “cookie” I assume is not easily translatable I assume just to be optimistic about the “not easy” part.

    At least in German, the direct translation “Keks” can be cream filled monstrosities with nuts on top and … I’m going shopping, see you later!

    But the run-of-the-mill cookie that cookie clicker made famous … Yeah, an oven, a bowl and if you’re lazy an electric mixer.

    I’ll estimate that anyone will need a maximum of four tries and they’ll get it.

    • The first because the cookies get too dry or burned
    • The second try because they thought they mixed it wrong and deviated unnecessarily from the recipe.
    • The third one because they realize that the dough is tasty and … gone?!
    • Delicious cookies.



  • (edit: all of below stuff is only for not being on the same network. After that it gets … messy)

    Oh boy! First: Thank you - I thought to briefly validate my knowledge and understanding before answering and went down a rabbit hole :D this is my current grasp, happy to be corrected!

    First: Most is actually not even distro agnostic but also OS agnostic:

    Most modern wifi devices when you tell them to “connect to WiFi” radiates, literally, what it can do and what kind of connection it wants. E.g. im a wifi device with WPA3 capabilities and this is my Mac address to answer me.

    OS specific is the question if your Mac address gets scrambled or not. For both iwd and networkmanager, which both support it, have it turned off by default. There is a big advantage to being able to be recognizable on friendly networks after all.

    Now comes the part I wasn’t aware:

    Even your hostname is often still broadcasted publicly! This happens during the DHCP handshake - and many devices don’t support apparently existing standards to address this gap. It’s all about securing the first frames where devices align on communication standards, encryption way, etc. This seems to still be quite public.

    Android was easier (and iOS seems to be the same but I didn’t bother with that more): Same as Linux but more aggressive by default: Mac scrambling all the time while searching for networks ,DHCP uses obscure strings as hostnames, etc.

    Fun fact: even those have stable max addresses once connected. Again, getting the same DHCP lease and being able to whitelist or recognized by the network seems to have more upsights than I was aware of.


  • That’s sich a Mac answer it’s unbelievable.

    Describing “A project aimed to be agnostic of it’s environment” as a design mistake and not a inherent flaw of the OS is… Just wow.

    Remember in this thread it’s about the pro and con of Macos as interference hardware. This is a major flaw which comes baked into the hardware. I tested it and find it an unacceptable limitation. It’s important for others to know.

    To state “containerization is the issue” though… Just wow.
