2·13 days agoTL;DR, most people are reasonable and can tell the difference. We cool.
People where English is not their first language get a pass. There is usually a very telling inflection when someone says “females” and means it in the bad way. I would rather help people with their English and explain that it is best to not say it that way, than get upset over our language being unnecessarily complicated.
The context of how female is said is even more confusing. Best way I think is if you are referring to a group of people or a specific person as female(s), that is bad. If you are referring to something about our gender, a description, or something impersonal, then that is fine. “Female anatomy.”, “I hate being female.”, “There was a female guard at the station.”
While it is puts me on edge when I hear it (in that bad context), it isn’t like they called me a cunt or something really foul. It is usually just an immediate red flag that we may be dealing with an incel, but let’s see where this goes. Usually doesn’t take long to get a confirmation on how they really meant it.
It really really rubs most of us the wrong way. Yet, for whatever reason, stupid men are taught that it is ok to call us “females”. It is like we are corpses. Things. Not even people.
2·17 days agoSorry, didn’t make it home until today and not sure if you get notifications on edits. You will need a monitor and keyboard hooked up to your server as you will not have ssh access until the network config is “fixed”. I would do the below with the GPU removed, so you know 100% that your networking config is correct before mucking about further.
Step 1 - Create 99-default.link file
Add a
/etc/systemd/network/99-default.linkwith the below contents.# SPDX-License-Identifier: MIT-0 # # This config file is installed as part of systemd. # It may be freely copied and edited (following the MIT No Attribution license). # # To make local modifications, one of the following methods may be used: # 1. add a drop-in file that extends this file by creating the # /etc/systemd/network/99-default.link.d/ directory and creating a # new .conf file there. # 2. copy this file into /etc/systemd/network or one of the other paths checked # by systemd-udevd and edit it there. # This file should not be edited in place, because it'll be overwritten on upgrades. [Match] OriginalName=* [Link] NamePolicy=mac MACAddressPolicy=persistentStep 2 - Reboot and find new name of NIC that will be based on MAC
I forget if you have to reboot, but I am going to assume so. At this point, you can get the new name of your nic card and fix your network config.
ip linkshould list all of your nic devices, both real and virtual. Here is how mine looks like for reference, with the MAC obfuscated:
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enxAABBCCDDEEFF: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq master vmbr0 state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: vmbr0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ffStep 3 - Fix your network config and restart network manager
You will need to edit your
/etc/network/interfacesfile so the correct card is used.- Make a copy of
/etc/network/interfaces, just in case you mess something up. sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces(or whatever text editor makes you happy) It will need to look something like below. I have to have DHCP turned on for mine, so your config likely uses static. Really all you need to do is change wherever it says enp yada yada to theenxAABBCCDDEEFFyou identified above.
source /etc/network/interfaces.d/* auto lo iface lo inet loopback iface enxAABBCCDDEEFF inet manual auto vmbr0 iface vmbr0 inet dhcp #iface vmbr0 inet static #address 192.168.5.100/20 #gateway 192.168.0.1 bridge-ports enxAABBCCDDEEFF bridge-stp off bridge-fd 0- Restart your networking service. You shouldn’t need to reboot.
sudo systemctl restart networking.service
Step 4 - Profit?
Hopefully at this point you have nework access again. Check the below, do some ping tests, and if it doesn’t work, double check that you edited the interfaces file correctly.
sudo systemctl status networking.servicewill show you if anything went wrong and hopefully show that everything is working correctlyip -br addr showshould show that the interface is up now.
lo UNKNOWN 127.0.0.1/8 ::1/128 enxAABBCCDDEEFF UP vmbr0 UP 192.168.5.100/20At this point, if all is well, I would reboot anyways, just to make sure. If you add any GPUs, sata drives, other PCI device, disable/enable wifi/bt in the BIOS, or anything else that changes the PCI numbering, you don’t have to worry about your NIC changing.
3·22 days agoHey, you ok? I am not ok today, but I definitely don’t want to fill my skull with bullets. Go wash your sheets/bedding. For whatever reason, clean sheets are the best.
I changed my settings to name nic cards by mac address instead of the enumeration as I got sick of the name changing when I would add/remove pci devices.
In all of chihuahuas I have met, only one was a psychotic rage monster. The rest totally tracks. Now Pomeranians…those things drive me insane. I absolutely love dogs, but I cannot stand Pomeranians. WHERE IS THE OFF SWITCH.
1·1 month agoI know right? It sucks having a curved screen with a case as it pushes my thumb in the exact worst spot on the side of the screen. I accidentally do things all the time. I rest my thumb on the case edge to try and avoid it, but if I barely tilt, it touches the oversensitive touchscreen. First world problems.
Thank you. I admit I don’t use Firefox right now due to issues I ran in to during my trial run earlier this year. Once the battery drain issues are fixed on the Android client I can at least switch back to it on my phone.
My company surprised me last week as we did an install and things didn’t work right in Firefox for the customer. My boss and the team are committed to fixing it and doing better on browser testing. There was not a moment of hesitation on this decision. We of course told them to use Edge, Safari, or Chrome in the meantime, but by no means are we throwing it on the bottom of the “fix” pile. Team is almost done and ready to send to QA. Super proud.
1·2 months agoIn a similar train of thought, have you tried having (good) orange juice with Mexican food? I used to love having it once in a while when we brought home Rosa’s. Never did at a restaurant. Not a complete heathen. 😁
3·2 months agoI use this on all on my Pis. It just works. I like the text config file for headless installation and how you can even add scripts to run on install too.
No worries! I am on mobile, so I get tired of typing things sometimes. Thank you for going into more detail as all my eloquent points are spent for the day. I sent my favorite Shake Hands With Danger safety video to the software guys yesterday. I hope at least one of them watches it.
Couple things. Fall prevention training. Part of that is knowing how to rescue yourself if you do fall, what to do if your only option is to wait for help, and how to help someone else. There are training sites that will push you off a wall…
Fall arrest systems are meant to save your life when you fall. You don’t hang in the air with them all day. That is a different type of harness. If you fall, you can’t just get up and continue like nothing happened. Fall arrest part of the harness has to be replaced. The rest of the harness has to be fully inspected, if not replaced as well.
Hanging in a harness can kill you as the straps will cut off the circulation in your legs. To prevent that, there are these little pouches on a line that you can deploy from your harness that are basically stirrups. You can put your feet in them and “stand” up while waiting for rescue. If someone is in a harness and unable to rescue themselves, this becomes problematic. Gravity is a bitch and waits for nobody.
I figure it is just a display, but I guess they could go through the effort of shoving people off. Probably safer than the plane. Especially when you are responsible for inspecting your own safety equipment every single time you use it.
Sames. They make sweet monitors.
Memory unlocked! I thankfully never had any issues with them. I too called flash drives zip disks for a while, but eventually stopped.
That is one thing I am trying to teach to my nephew and especially other adults. Best part is the teenager didn’t need to be taught. I am always caught a little off guard when I bring something up and he immediately says the obvious. I don’t have to fruitlessly explain why something is wrong. Silly quirks of Gen Z/alpha aside, I finally have some hope.
Everyone needs to call out shitty behavior. I get frustrated with people, even those I love, who don’t want to “get involved” and just ignore it. I don’t care if you think they are set in their ways, like that makes it ok. I don’t care if they get upset. Fuck that. There are always exceptional situations where doing so will get you beaten, killed, disowned, or worse, but even then I wonder if it is worth the cost sometimes.
All I ask is for people to try and be better. It takes time and a lot of it is confronting yourself. First step is to stop doing X bad behavior. Next is to take ownership of every time you think that way and question why. Getting in the mindset of “I can’t do X around “those” people or they get mad” is the wrong place to be in.
I do a lot on my M1 air and I haven’t even considered I would have RAM issues with 16GB. Windows, I would be getting 64GB to not be miserable. I don’t run as much as you all the time, but having a container or two going, far too many browser tabs, PDFs, 3-4 intellij projects, discord, teams, and probably other things I am forgetting about is the norm. I even have AutoCAD open sometimes.
The biggest difference is Mx is arm based, which goes a long way into getting better performance and battery life. I really need to look up again how Apple manages memory, swap, and performance in general. I just checked Activity Monitor and even with most of the memory showing as used, I don’t even notice. If my laptop were to die tomorrow due to my clumsy fumbling, I am getting another Mac. My only wish is getting Vulkan support. That would be amazing. Not going to hold my breath on that though.
Now, 8GB is a crime and it is not something I would recommend for any laptop/desktop, no matter what it is running. Not saying it wouldn’t work ok on a Mac for someone who only uses it for web browsing, but it is utterly ridiculous that 8GB is even an option these days. This is a dumb hill for Apple to die on and 16 should be the absolute minimum.
I have a debloated W11 VM on my proxmox server that I have used only once and is only there for some unknown emergency. With a little fiddling, I got it to idle under 4GB. I don’t plan to run servers on my laptop and invested enough on a little server rack to give me things like file servers, VMs, more permanent containers, and somehow got talked into making a gaming VM that I use at LAN parties. The 3U case for the main server travels very well.
Personally, I would try and get some of your server stuff off your machine. You can even take a look at some docker swarm or similar k8 concepts to reduce your container load. RPis are another good choice for some lower load server operations. I have a little RPi swarm that is powered by PoE+, though I plan on trying k8 on them soon to get some experience. RPis are also small enough that you could throw one in your bag if you needed something portable and are fairly inexpensive. Just a thought and may not be possible with your server applications.
I will happily defend you on this point. Down vote away people. As long as you don’t shove past the rows in front of you or bonk me with luggage, we good. I try to remember the passengers who had to store luggage father back and see if I can get it passed forward. I will totally boss people to sit back down if someone needs to get to the front ASAP due to close connections. If it is going to be a while, I will try to grab my backpack and sit back down.
Now, people with oversized rollerboards? Yeah. I get pretty irritated over that and the vast number of issues that causes with boarding and deplaning. The airlines make it worse with price hikes. I personally check all of my luggage and rarely run into issues. If I have any major concerns I will throw a couple things into a bag that will fit under my seat or FedEx it if we are really going there.
I know right? I have seen seen vision systems do some impressive things, but they are carefully calibrated to work in a specific way under certain conditions. Some of the ones my company works with get fed CAD in real time so the robot knows what to look for.
