Why would anyone give any air to the Digg people, they are sell out ?
They do not deserve a microsecond of attention and people who don't know them should be saved from becoming their victims.
We all left Digg and empowered Reddit, and Reddit also ducked us.
How many times do you have to get burned on that hot stove to STOP DUCKING TOUCHING IT ??

    I met some real people this week, they were watching advertising.
    They thought the government cared about them.
    One wanted to upgrade their car to add another 100 horsepower they cannot use anywhere.
    Another told me, he does not like raising cows but he had to get more cows to make it more economical to raise cows.
    They were all bummed out that the end of the end of the week was upon us, and soon they would have to work 40 hours in the next 5 days, doing things they stopped liking doing a long time again, if they ever did at all.

    build these tools with a clear conscience.

    Because if they don't their masters they will become destitute and starve while homeless

    And all social interaction happen at veiled gunpoint

    Under these conditions it is no surprise at all that conscience plays no role whatsoever, it is just a savage free-for-all for survival happening under our cursed star, an insane 10 billion years long churning of thinking meat, consciousness behind birthed into the wreckage, screaming uncomprehendingly at what is happened until it soon it is just as easily, mercifully and meaninglessly snuffed out again.

    Fortunately we have a shot at scorching the surface of this planet thanks to global warming and really the question is, can we make it happen before we genocide ourselves, leaving this planet's biosphere still capable of sustaining the horrors of life ?

    I think the intellectual property regime is an inhuman abomination and advocating in its favour should be a criminal act.
    If it is not destroyed, AI companies will use it to completely enslave us.
    AI companies ARE already the government, we should strive to disempower them at every turn before it's too late.

    Society doesn't want to punish when two girls do it, as long as still do it with boys.

    But if two boys do it, well, they used to diagnose them with mental illness and chemically castrate them if not jail or even shoot them.

    So, it's understandable some of this patterns remains, that if you do it just ONCE, it's still a scarlett letter on you, you are "an admitted homosexual now" you can not longer take it back. Don't worry, you won't be treated poorly anymore for it, unless cultural attitudes toward the practice shift again, but you can't "go back in the closet" as it were.

    I remember, it was really terrible, we had severely regimented time schedules controlled by clocks and bell. We had to go there with hours-long bus rides. I remember watching the clock, watching every second tick while one person was talking to everyone about really profoundly boring things which they could not and would not articulate the relevance of beyond an immediate examination and far of idea of "the labout marketplace" in which we would all compete against one another to avoid homelessness and death. I could read on the computer at home about the things they were saying, it was obvious at the time this information would have no practical use whatsoever to anyone but I could not imagine an alternative so I kept going until they gave me some papers after 13 years of this. Of course now I understand why, we were doing appearance of productivity, as training for our future as obedient workers who would do what they were told. The subject of the matter was not the point, it was being moulded into docility. This is why there was no clarity as to what use the information lectured about would have. It only needed to appear to be productive and useful, it did not have to be relevant or interesting as we were a captive audience, fearful of this homelessness situation we would find ourselves in if we disobeyed. This was the social stalemate that kept us from being sent to the mines IMMEDIATELY, we were supposed to be grateful and happy that we didn't have to work in the field, picking rocks and vegetables in the field with the undocumented immigrants.

    We were a captive audience, this is why it didn't have to be interesting, that was not the point, the teacher tried really hard, I could see it hurt them to be our jailors, they tried to make it fun, but we knew we were in prison even if we couldn't articulate it. The teaching prison guards had their empathy eventually dried out and shrivel, they tried spending their own money to make it tolerable for us and they were met with disinterested ungratefulness, no recognition from us nor the bosses. The cheerful colourful decorations of our jail cells somehow made things worse, like something was wrong with US for being unhappy with the situation.

    I mean none of these are actually pornographic ...

    I thought this place was supposed to be "free", just how much of a user and speech genocide is happening on the backend that there isn't a single porn server on the whole fediverse ?

    I mean, I did notice that you can't say duck the ducking duckers but I thought that was just a little quirk of my randomnly chosen lemmy instance and it wouldn't be a problem once I leave this server for my own, greener, self-hosted pastures ...

    But what's up ? Is this place also infected with the depraved virulent anti-human morality of americans and their infinite hatred of the sight of the human body ?

    What else are you HIDING from me Lemmy ? What other thought have you been making me UNTHINK ?

    I'm quite pissed right now

     

    What even is poetry ? Is it a dead genre from over a century ago ? Or is it whatever comes out when we're given the permission to speak ? Is poetry the place where you're expected to propagandize about your marxist cause ? Does poetry have to have a point ? What's the difference between poetry and a shitpost ? Is it the jagged edges ? Poetry is a shitpost with the sharp edges rounded off ? Is that what poetry is or is it what it has become ? Is poetry about not stirring anything in the reader ? I'm really asking, when I imagine a poet, I have the standard default culturally transmitted view

    Which is this

    Some sad and/or depressed person making remarks that otherwise wouldn't be remarkable, like a banana taped to the wall of a museum, is that what poetry is ? Is poetry a social construct ? I don't know, all I know was that I should take it seriously, so I'm trying that, see if that poetry's stuff is any fun.

     

    Hi,

    I just spent a lot of last week trying to access the console of an old datacenter switch. I made a cable from the pinout of a similar switch.

    My switch is a Dell S3048-ON this was for a C9010, it turned out to be correct.

    So I tried over and over to make it work, but kept getting this garbled mess, but the mess was consistent with the rythm of a booting switch, and it kind of always looked the same

    With many of these, I have many spares I thought they were broken, but they were not

    I checked the signals with oscilloscope they were, dirty

    So I made the signals cleaner by tidying it up

    But still, it is a mess of garbled text !

    Here I am using the other kind of serial adapter, this one serial to ethernet

    Here is two runs, still garbled

    As a last ditch attempt, I remembered one my old server has a real serial port !!

    And it worked !

    Here is my two cents on that question

    When I fill out a sponsorblock,
    I feel like I have comitted an act of civic duty
    I feel pride

    I hope others feel that too

    I want to ***** on the grave of Ivy Lee and Edward Bernays and sponsorblock lets me symbolically do it.

    We are participants in an hyperwar and I hope our side win.

    Fellow sponsorblocker,
    I don't know who you are,
    I don't know where you are
    But can I see you and I am proud of you
    Fellow sponsorblocker, I salute you O7

    To stop the nasty goblins and their stooges
    who constantly besiege our minds and try to infect them
    ##Is our solemn duty
    in this digital hyperwar
    To protect the innocent from their vile endeavour
    to have less and want more

     

    I found the multicast registery here.

    https://www.iana.org/assignments/multicast-addresses/multicast-addresses.xhtml

    I already knew that addresses between 224.0.0.1 and 239.255.255.255 are reserved by multicast.

    Obviously multicast could be immensely useful if used by the general public, it would obsolete much of facebook, youtube, nearly all CDNs (content delivery networks), would kill cloudflare and company's business model and just re-arrange the internet with far reaching social implication.

    So, why hasn't all these multicast addresses been converted in usable private IPv4 unicast address space ?

     

    Of course, after than, whatever you've just plugged into it, will most likely not work

    502 Bad Gateway
    504 Gateway Timeout
    X-Forwarded-For

    The solution is probably somewhere deep in the bowels of whatever you're trying to make work

    It will look obvious once you've figured out, that's why it wasn't mentioned next to the bunch of instruction you pasted into your console to install the thing

    Just another day walking in the forest of papercuts

     

    I am greatly displeased at the smartphone industry. I think it's time for a heavy handed crackdown about all the spying they're doing. The smartphone industry and in particular the company qualcomm I find an intolerable company in their practice, I believe they should be smashed, their equiment liquidated and their intellectual property destroyed.

    The smartphone industry is a festering cancer on general computing, a persistent and pernicious assault on human rights. An invasion of our private spaces. A colonization of our lives.

    I think it is past the point of reform, not that there are any regulator with to intelligence figure out what is wrong let alone the wherewithal to do anything about.

    For those reasons, I think global thermonuclear war is our only realistic option for setting back the clock on this travesty.

    I am willing to hear your alternative, I don't believe anything short of that has a snowball's chance in hell to change anything about this.
