If Ted Cruz won in a landslide after Cancun and Uvalde I don't know what other wake-up call is going to work

Books are generally better

Hot take, the battles in the book aren't great because Tolkien doesn't want to glorify violence. Half of the fights are like two pages in the books before the point of view character passes out. After realizing that I was kind of disappointed in how "campy early 2000s action movie" the battles in the films are.

there is a AI free fork of vim, called evi
Reply in thread
I'm sad I hate to scroll this far to see a sane take. Bad code is bad, AI accelerating the destruction of the planet is bad, but experienced maintainers using the tools that exist is not bad, and trying to fork a project like Vim because of that is insane. Power to them if they actively maintain it, but I don't see that in the cards.

Cloudflare to AI Crawlers: Pay or be blocked
Reply in thread
iirc it came out that the gambling site was intentionally cycling through cloudflare's IP range to avoid IP blocking, causing legitimate websites to be flagged as unsafe. They said they'd still host them, they just need their own IP and not one of cloudflare's. Horribly communicated to the customer though

What's a movie that feels out of its era? Either ahead or behind of its time. Or movies that don't seem like they would've been made then
The Fall by Tarsem. I've been so happy the 4k remaster and theatrical re-release has been getting some love now.

Californians approve Democrats’ anti-Trump redistricting push

So you're not willing to do the bare fucking minimum to oppose the current administration, and want to blame other politicians instead of using the best tool we currently have in a democracy. Got it.

wrt conf file location, they're only generally in /usr/lib/systemd, /etc/systemd, or /run/systemd. You can always find out what's getting read with systemctl cat <service-name>. Way easier to find stuff than with some other random programs imo, I've seen crap have default conf files in dumb places like /usr/share/<service-name>/lib/etc.

True Wireless Power is FINALLY here (building a TRULY wire-free desk setup)

Yes, because it's a maker on YouTube showing off a project he did? It's a clickbaity title sure, but this isn't a research paper showcasing a new technology. He's using a dev kit to make something he thinks is cool. Fail to see the issue.

Vim > VSCode
Reply in thread
Like, a GUI plus command line, objectively provides you with more UX tools and ways of presenting data and interactions to the user
My long list of vim plugins and adhoc macros would like a word. I don't doubt VSCode can do something similar, but I love that I can script vim to do basically whatever. Also, it feels much faster to not need to touch a mouse at all.

dig mydomain.tld to see why your machine can't find the DNS record
Fwiw too most home networks use a DNS server on the router by default. Your devices should be able to resolve an address with a DNS record set statically there instead of on the WAN.

Assuming states like Texas even gerrymandered things safely. With the current approval ratings some of the districts they redrew are at a higher chance of being flipped.

Fun fact! If you added a file but never committed it you can still recover it with git fsck --lost-and-found. The changes were still added to the git object store, and by grepping through the dangling blobs you can find the object containing the changes you care about.
