In my highschool programming class we made a TSR (in Borland pascal) that would change every 15th keypress to an “e”. It wasn’t self propagating, so it wasn’t a virus per day, but it was highly annoying. It survived on memory after the netware logoff, and you could only get rid of it by rebooting.

We also had these everex brand 286 or 386 computers… They had a little LCD screen that would read out what sector/track was being read on the disk. We found the memory address (80h) where we could write arbitrary text to the LCD. That was fun.

Afaik the presidential powers to enact tariffs is limited. Congress is in charge of the budget and are the only ones allowed to set permanent tariffs. He is only getting away with what he is doing because he keeps making up phony emergency reasons why we need them, i.e. the bogus Canadian fentanyl story. The idiots in Congress have already given up so many of their duties to the executive branch it’s doubtful they can recapture them. Until members of Congress decide to call him out on his bullshit he will keep getting away with it despite what any of them say publicly… And we all know that his boot lickers will never do that.

I guess that would succeed in killing off a bunch of the elderly and infirmed, which be a huge savings to Medicare and social Security, so it’s a win-win right?

/S if it wasn’t implied already

Loops.video maybe?

I always just use

find | grep -i <partial file name>

I found this somewhere and thought it was a pretty good explanation for all the symbolism in his performance.

And even tho I’m not super familiar with his music, I do respect him and an artist and really enjoyed the show.

Edit: and Serena crip-walking on Drake getting called a pedophile on international TV was just the icing on the cake for me.

Musk supported Trump so Trump would give tiktok to him. Tiktok would rather go out of business then sell.

ADL: he’s not making a swastika, he is making that reverse swastika Sanskrit thing that no one can tell the difference anyway… Or something like that

Personally, for a vpn, I really like airvpn. It has been around for ages. It’s not huge. It’s (seems to be) run by some very nice and super tech-savy people.

No, it’s not the fastest. Their default VPN client (eddie, which is just openvpn heavily customized, and is open source) can be clunky, but they support wireguard and regular openvpn connections with a generated config.

A lot of people use it for, uh, sharing Linux iso’s, but as a regular VPN service they are pretty awesome as well. They even have a way to tunnel their VPN connection over tor (https://airvpn.org/tor/) which is quite handy depending on where you are. And the Android client can spoof your GPS info to the country where their server is located.

As far as cloud storage goes, run my own nas, and have wireguard tunnel to my house which allows me to access it for any of my cloud storage needs.
