lol. Nicholas Kristof was in Beijing at the time, his contemporaneous article was critical of China and the CPC, but said "There is no massacre in Tiananmen Square, for example, although there is plenty of killing elsewhere." The original article is paywalled, but here is a 2004 interview where he repeats that no one died in the square, and sticks to his death toll estimate of 300-800.

The Chinese Red Cross deny saying that, so I mean insert your own conspiracy for that one. No idea who the Swiss Ambassador was at the time, the reference is to a book.

Like Hawke said it seems like the graphics card or driver crashing. Very hard to troubleshoot, especially when it's random. Bazzite probably already has very recent drivers, there's this post on the bad website listing some things to try. This stuff can lead to superstitious thinking, with people changing something, rebooting to have it work fine for a while then they post that change as if it fixed it.

God speed.

The Clearing the Square section recounts the timeline of the military entering the square and it being totally empty by 6am. I guess you could count the three soldiers killed by the crowd, but that's not what most people mean.

Your motherboard wouldn't happen to be an AsRock? There's been reports of ASRock mobos in particular causing problems with 9000 series AMD chips, especially the X3D. Mate of mine running windows has been having it crash especially when idle at desktop.

I'm not familiar with a green Linux equivalent to the BSOD. Is it completely green? In that case it may be a graphics problem...

My understanding is that it's technically against their TOS but loosely enforced. They don't specify precise limits since they probably change over time and region. Once you get noticed, they'll block your traffic until you pay. Hence you can find people online that have been using it for years no problem, while other folks have been less lucky.

Basically their business strategy is to offer too-good-to-be-true free services that people start using and relying on, then charging once the bandwidth gets bigger.

It used to be worse, and all of cloudflare's services were technically limited to HTML files, but selectively enforced. They've since changed and clarified their policy a bit. As far as I've ever heard, they don't give a toss about the legality of your content, unless you're a neo Nazi.

I'm guessing the cloudflared daemon isn't connecting to jellyfin. You want to use http://. Also is jellyfin the hostname of the VM? Using localhost or 127.0.0.1 might be better ways to specify the same VM without relying on DNS for anything.

Personal opinion, but I wouldn't bother with fail2ban, it's a bit of effort to get it to work with cloudflare tunnel and easy to lock yourself out. Cloudflare's own zero trust feature would be more secure and only need fiddling around cloudflare's dashboard.

There's stuff like ripple control to tell appliances to lower consumption. Pretty archaic and rare these days. There's nothing I know of that communicates to the utility.

I have no idea what John is talking about or why he brought this concept up.

It runs basically the same PebbleOS, so they'll work with any app that works with the original Pebbles. They plan to keep using the community app hosting at https://apps.rebble.io/. There's also GadgetBridge that's compatible. Eric mentioned on HN the intention for an official open source library that can be used to make other companion apps too.

I was so bewildered reading the novel. I had heard he wrote it as a pro military propaganda piece, but I couldn't help but see it as satire.

They are kitted out in mech suits, making them seem more machine than man, put into drop pods that are fired onto the planet like bullets out a gun. In the pod they are isolated from their comrades, isolated from their humanity, literally turned into pieces of a weapon.

Then they land on the alien planet to perform a terrorist attack on a civilian city. And this book is meant to be pro war?

 

A collection of emails from the MIT mailing list UNIX-HATERS. Dates from 1987-1994, so mostly pre-linux. A fascinating read of very smart people frustrated with Unix and it's shortcomings compared to forgotten contemporaries like Lisp Machines and other proprietary OSes. Even back then there was a group of people fighting the narrative that Unix is amazing. Some things have improved, while most criticisms are as valid today as they were 30 years ago.
