1451·3 days agoYou can call your code enforcement in your city and get them cited for light regulations.
Ive done that when I was at an apartment and a business decided to put lights on all night at our building. They had to take them down so we could sleep. Imagine daylight through your window bright.
They got fined and everything. It was glorious.

79·3 days agoOh interesting! Ive done something similar but not didnt put as much effort.
For me, I just made an unending webpage that would create a link to another page…that would say bullshit. Then it would have another link with more bullshit…etc…etc…And it gets slower as time goes on.
Also made a fail2ban banning IPs that reached a certain number of links down. It worked really well, traffic is down 95% and it does not affect any real human users. Its great :)
I have a robots.txt that should tell them not to look at the sites. But if they dont want to read it, I dont want to be nice.
I woudnt be making nearly as much as I do now if not for my degree. It opened a lot of doors when times were tough.

5·20 days agoOh yeah totally. But it deals with proprietary drivers…so im not 100% sure what the restrictions are there. The mapping could be done open source if there was a need/want.

53·20 days agoSteam has some upsides most take for granted.
The work they do to get all the strange controller setups working (and let others make configurations) is a huge time saver when all you want to do is play your games.
Free cloud saves are a life saver when you go from device to device.
The Linux work they do is fantastic.
It goes on and on. But yeah the biggest deal is that if they ever go full corpo…we are in trouble.
Nice! GL and may you get good.
Im feeling pretty put out to be honest. I hope you all have a good day. I wont comment again.

Im really really tempted to delete my linkedin. Its never got me a job in my life, but I did notice a lot of people look at my page before I got a couple in the past.
Its not a very good system. Its just more professional facebook with less subtlety about people looking at your page. And they lock EVERYTHING down that is useful in a paywall.

1·1 month agoI used to do a ton of seeding on isos but it really took its tool on the old harddrive I did it on. I kinda stopped for a long time. I used to do it for the origonal Ubuntu isos like 8.04 or something like that. And puppy linux :)…
Ive never heard of apt-mirror, thats interesting. Ill have to take a look. thanks!
I made mine into a laptop. Its decent at doing most things.

2·1 month agoIm having a heck of a time finding material. Any recommendations?
Im downloading this version of wikipedia: https://browse.library.kiwix.org/viewer#wikipedia_en_all_mini_2025-12
I only have about 100GB left-ish so I dont want to get a huge amount. I might just get ebooks and throw those on there.

11·1 month agoI think a good test is to shut off your house internet and see what things you still need. Like actually disconnect the router and only go off your own infa. What can you get done, what things do you still need?
For me I found out:
- All my software development packages, linux isos, etc… are ALL online. If I was unable to get on certain websites, I would be SOL in doing most of my software development. Even simple stuff like installing via apt would be VERY hard.
- While I have OSM (open street maps), I dont have address info saved anywhere.
- Most of my mesh stuff (meshtastic) has online tools for all the builds and deploys. Meaning if the website goes down im SOL getting new nodes out in the wild.
- Entertainment is pretty much covered, since we dont have anything streaming anyways. We try to keep things DRM free to begin with so books/audio/movies can go to different places without worry.
- Radio still works, so news isnt really a big deal.
- I need to get a backup of some encyclopedias and/or get wikipedia somewhere hosted. That would be fun and informative.





He later goes and talks to the lady who did the segment. It makes me smile because even she says its the BBC recipe thats the issue haha.
