  • Eli5 version:

    Sam likes candy, and in the past, Sam has been very good at paying kids back for candy with a little bonus for doing so. Sam wants more candy, but Sam has lately been acting weird and unreliable, so no one wants to give them any because they aren’t as confident that they will get paid back. Sam is now offering to give back even more in the future than his usual amount in the hopes that someone will give him candy. Sam is still acting pretty sketch, and getting more sketch every day.


  • I’m in an interesting place because I installed tumbleweed as a server. At some point there was a change to networking and when I updated, networking didn’t work anymore, so I had to roll back to just before the update. I don’t want to start from scratch, and I don’t want to either bring a screen to it and troubleshoot what’s going on again. I tried in the past, and after a few hours of getting nothing (everything should be fine, it just doesn’t send or receive anything), I rolled it back and walked away. I have a feeling I just need to run yast and reconfigure there after updating, I just don’t want to go through the effort of fixing it because it still runs fine.



  • I made some sort of Norwegian dish for my ex (she’s Vietnamese, comes into play later) that she really wanted and missed from when she visited Norway. It was a casserole consisting of potatoes, cream, pickled Herring, and ground black pepper. Like, I’m pretty sure that’s every ingredient that went into this thing. I’m not even sure if there was any cheese or salt.

    I thought I screwed up somewhere because it was not good. She loved it because it was so bland and apparently I made it perfectly. I do not understand how she could go from eating food like bun bo hue to whatever the hell I made and enjoy it.


  • I feel like that’s what email should be. More than texting, less frequent than chats, record keeping, quick little updates on life, etc.

    Texts are for either unimportant things or emergencies, an email is like a news report after things are stable or a state of the family update. You send it out when the details are worked out so it’s easy to reference. I hate when family plans happen in emails, I don’t want emails between 10 family members and their responses to how we’re going to eat at Grandma’s. Text me, then when we decide how we’re gonna do it send an email with the final decisions to everyone.





  • I’ve found that the Arch wiki works for most distros if you know how to translate it. There have been multiple times I’ve searched how to do something or how to fix something in Linux and the only useful result is an arch forum or wiki. All I had to do is translate the steps for debian/ubuntu/opensuse/fedora/rpiOS, etc.

    The process was usually “search this error” > “this part” isn’t working, search “this part error” > arch forum showing steps to fix. Search “where the fuck is this file in <distro>”. Get “it’s usually here, here, or over here”, then do arch steps.

    Then there’s opensuse, and there’s fucking camelcase capitals in their packages (NetworkManager? Seriously?) so I have to Google “opensuse <command/application> package” like a fucking rube.








  • Lora is in the 915mhz ISM band in the USA. This part of the spectrum is full of high power transmissions, Lora runs on such low power that it’s signals are pretty much below the noise floor. The FCC doesn’t have the teeth to regulate what they already are supposed to regulate, they aren’t going to bother with Lora. As far as communicating doing anything illegal or soon to be illegal shit, Signal is more reliable.
