Free (As in beer and speech!)

Do you live in a utopia where you get as much beer as you want without having to pay for it, or do you live in a dystopia where you have to pay to be able to speak your mind and only in limited quantities?

I vaguely remember the advice actually being to leave it running but disconnect it from the internet. Although maybe hard disconnect the backups if you can.

…Because no one else wants to write my documentation.

There was a thread about that on c/selfhosted a few weeks ago. Created by a particular wild-cat-inspired sysadmin, I might add.

But on a more serious note, the interactions between a sysadmin and their servers (that they have enough responsibility for to be able to name) are much more intimate than the interactions between a dev and their variables. The server names also exist in a much larger namespace, so they need to be more unique.

I really like that bluetooth devices can still work at distances farther than a typical cable would allow. I have a decently-sized studio apartment and I can see my computer screen from most places. It’s nice to continue watching a video as I move around the apartment to clean, get up to stretch, play with my cat, etc.

You could probably get wired headphones that long, but then you’d be dealing with that giant cable all the time. Or you’d have to constantly swap cables and interrupt the audio during that time. My AirPods work reliably from 15ft away. I can’t argue with that convenience.

OP is 13.

Now I want to start calling people "narse"s with no context.

thanks

I can appreciate the appeal of physical copies, but if it’s hindering your enjoyment then why not just listen to digital copies? The vinyl records are probably being scribed from a digital version, anyway.

Reminds me of lolcode:

HAI 1.2
CAN HAS STDIO?
PLZ OPEN FILE "LOLCATS.TXT"?
    AWSUM THX
        VISIBLE FILE
    O NOES
        INVISIBLE "ERROR!"
KTHXBYE

If you mean initiating connections from one computer on your local network to another, you need to install and enable avahi-daemon (or some other mDNS daemon) on the “fancy” one. Your router also needs to support and enable mDNS forwarding, but basically all of them do by default. Then just use your-hostname.local in place of the local IP address, and your computer will automatically resolve it using mDNS. It’s different than regular DNS, so it doesn’t need any special configuration to use it. And word to the wise: don’t use uppercase or special characters in your hostname.

What does hostname output?

Huh. 3 different people here using Futurama names.

Look, @rutrum@lm.paradisus.day was a little drunk when they chose their username, ok?

Some farmers name their cattle

I recommend flavours of popcorn: Caramel, Cheesy, Buttery, etc. And Bob.

I like your other dad! I’m also a scientist.
