It'll happen some day. There will eventually be "Illegal" wireless transmitting devices that do things such as transmit data over disallowed frequencies, break the token rate speed limit imposed by the fcc (fuck 56k) and illegally use encryption (using data encryption on amateur radio is illegal). When they do start becoming a thing, they'll be able to transmit data maybe a few miles at up to a megabyte per second (not 1 megabit), or for dozens of miles at a few kilobytes per second. Depending on whether the designers wanted to prioritize speed or distance.

The technology exists to make such wireless transceivers using off the shelf parts available to normal people, there's just no reason for them to exist. Yet.

His commentary of police chases that he does on rare occasions can be entertaining but meh.

I think Endeavour OS is like that too. I have 2 "unfixable" bugs on my arch installation that can never be removed. I have to manually do 2 annoying workaround tasks every time I turn on my computer before I can use it and this will likely never go away. I've been told both these issues can't be fixed without a complete os reinstall and even then it might not go away. I booted into an Endeavour OS live usb and what do you know, both those bugs were fixed out of the box. Endeavour is based on Arch. The kernel it was running was a kernel number release after my installation developed both of these "forever" bugs.

Arch is great and all but holy fuck I'm sick and tired of this fucking bullshit all the time. One of these times I'm going to type sudo pacman -Syu and it will develop yet a third unfixable forever bug. This is the same shit that drove me away from Windows: uncontrollable degradation over time that can't be fixed without os reinstall. Even Gentoo isn't this unforgiving.

llamacpp. Remember to modify the launch script to use multiple cores. Go to hugging face io and look for GGUF compatible models.

Surprised to not see computer tech majors on here. I have a degree in IT and have to compete with people more experienced than me for jobs that pay a dollar or two an hour more than retail jobs. I'm going for a degree in computer engineering now but I'm starting to doubt if this is a good path.

Huh, I'm going to try shaving my armpits. I'm a smelly guy and I seem to need to use a lot of deodorant to keep it under control.

I fucking hate seo abusers. I have to use a locally hosted ai for a lot of my "googling" because modern day search results are fucking worthless now.

I hope she at least died immediately, that sounds like a terrible way to go.

Fuck reddit. I always read through the posts on here, I just don't comment if I have nothing to add.

If that happens it'll just be a half assed January 6th thing again. If there was a "real" civil war, both sides of the political divide would be fighing each other more than the actual current government. It would probably just devolve into terrorists blowing each other up all the time in more of a gang warfare type thing.

 

I need to pirate this book thats over 1000 pages. I already have the pdf but I really want a physical copy and the book costs too much for me. Even if I have to buy a bunch of ink (the book has no pictures) and even if I wear out the printhead before the job is done, it's still going to be cheaper to do this. My printer has been blocked from the internet since before the pandemic so I can install all the 3rd party ink and replacement parts I want. I'm not worried about my printer situation.

It seems the biggest challenge I need to overcome is the paper. Cheap printer paper is going to otherwise work it's just that it's too thick. The same amount of cheap printer paper it takes to make the book is going to be more than twice as thick as the book I'm trying to "pirate".

The 8.5x11in size just happens to be the exact size I need for this. Whats the cheapest paper I can get that's still thinner than cheapo office printer paper?

 

Toilet paper is expensive. Asbestos is the same color as toilet paper and you can clean it by throwing it in the fireplace. This means it can be used as reusable toilet paper. Try using cloth instead of toilet paper and you're stuck with shit stains.

The asbestos ban is a result of lobbying efforts by Big Toilet Paper change my mind.

 

How can I ensure that qbitorrent is actually seeding? I have this torrent with triple digit peers, barely any seeds and it's seeding at 0 byes / second. It says I've uploaded a lot but nowhere near a 1:1 ratio for this torrent.

I'm trying to be a considerate pirate. What settings do I change to make it seed more?
