guys I have a really cool idea: you should make a video about a tool of some sort, and have this be the background music. it'll blow some minds https://youtu.be/HhXQJzfxOg4

just realized 9/11 is the perfect mnemonic for remembering how dates are formatted in America

i remember when the towers would stay down till christmas at least

you can put it back up on maybe the 18th or so, but people are getting shameless these days and putting them back as soon as the the 13th or 14th. absolutely disgraceful

just a reminder if u have a skyscraper, make sure you're ready to take it down and pack it away before midnight, as a show of respect to the towers that didn't make it

I'm gonna try to balance the joy of memeing with like, some reasonable level of also listening to people who have concrete, serious reasons for being glad she's dead. I hope everyone living in countries fucked over under her rule have at least 10x the joy I'm having as a random white Canadian who just kinda abstractly loves this

I KNEW IT WOULD BE NEEDED, THIS IS NOT A DRILL

life hack: don't buy an expensive PCB design program; with a bit of creativity, PowerPoint can be repurposed for a wide variety of CAD and EDA tasks!

you've heard of /var/mail, but have you heard of /var/cash? fun fact: every unix account is also a credit account, you can see your "balance" in /var/cash. nowadays this doesn't mean anything, but back in the day it was used for billing people on big time-sharing servers. in order to discourage people from using too much memory, there would be an additional charge if a process owned by your account causes the system to run out of memory, commonly known as "OOM Fees"

just like pretzel sticks made out of Higg's Bosons. you've heard of rods from god, now get ready for rods made of god!

what do you call a "chip"?
bonus question: what refdes would you use on a PCB for a package containing 2 discrete transistors? Q? U? something else?

The Born Identity

i use debian with networkmanager on my laptop, and accidentally bump my rfkill button pretty often, taking out my wifi connection. i'd like to disable rfkill completely, and i can find no documentation on how to do so. i can't blacklist the rfkill kernel module because the bluetooth module uses it. it appears that userspace processes (wpa_supplicant and bluetoothd) take over management of rfkill (they have /dev/rfkill open), but they don't seem to have config options to disable it. i think there's some build options i can disable? am i seriously gonna have to compile my own kernel just to disable rfkill?
