Banned words

The concept of "banned words" (other than the offensive stuff, of course) in a classroom is so funny to me. There is no way that the person who came up with that wasn't the sourest loser ever.

How does hypixel have their website and minecraft server on their root domain? (I would like to do something similar)

Minecraft can read a special DNS record type called SRV records. You can create a record like that to point Minecraft to a port that the server is running on. It doesn't even have to have the same ip as the webserver.

This is for Namecheap, but the general principle applies everywhere: https://www.namecheap.com/support/knowledgebase/article.aspx/9765/2208/how-can-i-link-my-domain-name-to-a-minecraft-server/

Love your fellow humans that just want a working computer.

I'm using an Infinitybook Pro 14 gen 9. It came out last year.

You will most likely need the "tuxedo-drivers" package, but whether you'll need an ethernet driver too depends on the hardware they choose.

At least they publish their drivers for both RPM and DEB systems, so that makes it a bit less painful.

Of course, none of this applies if you use their distro. There, everything is pre-installed and configured for their laptops

Down with under-screen fingerprint sensors!

I personally have the complete opposite experience with under-screen scanners. As in, it's literally the only type that works reliably for me. Before I got my samsung s22+, I never even realized that Android asks you for your pattern every 2 days because I had to manually unlock my old phones so often.

Anyway, here are terminal commands you don't understand.

Why does it have to be one or the other?

I, as someone who spends so much time in the terminal that I literally have a dedicated key to open it, would prefer a single CLI command. My grandma, who thinks the monitor is the entire computer, would do better with the "inefficient" GUI option

There can be more than one correct way to do something
