In addition to others’ answers here, I suggest reading over this document whenever you get frustrated by Debian: Don’t Beak Debian
Debian has a particular philosophy for its design choices. Using non-standard sources.list entries, for instance, can break your system in the future. You’ll have a much better time in the long run if you come to understand why Debian is the way it is
Thanks for answering honestly. You really painted a picture, which is distressingly relatable. I hope you feel better soon. I’m rotting rioting rooting (ha, autocorrect wanted me to be much more metal!) for you
I have said “schfourteen-teen” about once per week for the past 20 years
…I’m not sure anyone has ever gotten the reference
I did that too, but back then it was called Backtrack Linux. I bought a special Atheros chipset WiFi card for my laptop’s PCMCIA slot. The built-in 802.11b WiFi card worked under Linux but only by using the Windows ME driver in NDISWrapper, which didn’t support promiscuous mode.
The Atheros chipsets could be configured (by flashing the firmware with a blob I got from a BBS, if I recall) to capture the traffic from nearby wireless networks. In particular, I wanted to pick up the signal from when a device first connects. There was a bug in Windows XP that could cause the WiFi to drop briefly, then promptly reconnect. By triggering that bug over and over I could capture a lot of reconnect packets in a short time frame.
Then I’d save the data to a big file and pipe it to Aircrack and extract the Wired Equivalent Privacy password.
I was a 1337 H4XX0|2 B-)
Well, that’s how the tutorial said it would work anyway. I actually never could get enough packets captured. The signal strength was too low
I agree with the consensus that this was a good thing to do.
It was perfect to leave before the shopper could reject it because it allows her to save face. Either she did need it but was too proud to admit it, or she actually didn’t need it and can just pay it forward.
Since you left quickly it made it clear there was no expectation that she should pay it back to you specifically, which could have had unsavory implications
I hate when an app tells me to take a picture of my driver’s license
These algorithms are not solely based on the things you watch. I believe it’s also based on your location and even close contacts. So if, hypothetically, I live in shithole Trumpistan with my racist uncle and he likes watching Hitler Youth “own the libs” then YouTube will recommend it to me too
I just wanted to say, I enjoy your writing style. You very vividly illustrated your emotions
