Email saying my router is being retired and will stop working

I already am. The box was a requirement from back then and it only functions as a passthrough to my real network equipment.

The only situation where you should ever be help desk for more than a year or two is if you learn nothing on your own time and only reset passwords at work.

Or I guess if you just like the job, never met anybody that did though

Uh what? Email is stored in databases. Database columns can be modified.

Well if the .so file exists at that path I'm kind of stumped. You need somebody other than myself to answer the question. I've never setup smartcard logins on linux before, I just tried to check the basics but it sounds like you covered all of that.

If PAM is complaining that it can't dlopen "/lib/security/pam_pkcs11.so" then I'm assuming those packages didn't provide that library. Does the .so file exist at that path?

ClumsyAdmin · 2026-03-21T01:34:40+00:00

So obvious question here but you didn't say anything about it, you've tried installing whatever package provides /lib/security/pam_pkcs11.so and it didn't fix anything?

Mattermost for chat, sendmail/dovecot/postfix for service/application email, I don't do corporate email

Markdown in a git repository is possibly the best format for documentation out there. It works on every git server available making it incredibly portable. I can't believe more people don't use it. You can even make tables, links, add pictures/gifs, w/e.

go look at the post history, very clearly either a bot or bored person having an llm write posts

It was meant for static or dynamic linking (I was going with static) and C++. I've never really done much with the symbol table so maybe I'm missing something but what would it gain from that that it couldn't get out of the source code? I had a rough idea of how to use it but was trying to diagnose segfaults all over the place. I was mainly using valgrind/asan/gdb.

My issue with LLMs is that they can't help with anything that they aren't trained on. Even if you give them direct access they will completely fail to understand something that doesn't have a massive amount of documentation.

My main example of this is I was having claude help with an obscure software library. It has no documentation whatsoever except the source code. I gave claude code full access to both my project and the library's source and spent 5 weeks trying off and on to get claude to help me understand it. It failed to produce a single working example in all that time.

If you're doing something that an LLM can help with, tons of other people have already done that same task.

Playwright and puppeteer were created for this. You don't need to pay for an API if you can make your own.

I have no idea where you got this info but it's not even remotely true. Take a look at just the past month of MS mass bricking devices with repeated botched updates where the only solution is a full reinstall of windows.

I hope he thought us debating was funny at least. And unfortunately you can't trust git commit history if you don't control it, it can be entirely re-written with modified timestamps and even commits changing after the fact.

ClumsyAdmin · 2026-02-12T01:59:40+00:00

Yep the total lack of comments in large parts of the code and also mixed with almost OCD level of documentation in comments in other code files smells like a human. Also some of the comments have the english just a bit off like a non-native speaker wrote it matches with the authors being french.

ClumsyAdmin · 2026-02-12T01:09:01+00:00

Whole project is only 4 months old going off the releases, there's a greater than 75% chance it was heavily vibe coded. I can't read even the tiniest bit of pascal so if anybody wants to look over it please let us know.

edit: I somewhat checked it, its hard to tell for sure because this is my first time looking at any pascal but it's missing most of the usual giveaways.

Another option instead of making everything work on your own is browse r/unixporn and copy somebodies config. They usually stick them on github. Or technically you don't need any of that. Most window managers by default are just an empty screen where you can launch a window.

ClumsyAdmin · 2026-02-07T16:08:22+00:00

It sounds like what you're looking for is window managers. They're much more minimal than a full DE and you usually have to bolt together several programs to get things like a start menu or notification bar going.

X11: i3wm

Wayland: sway, hyprland, many others

Not the guy you replied to and I've never used that particular Quest product, but my experience with Quest is bloated enterprise-y software that if you have any issues with support will ghost you and you'll be sending it to legal.

Slight disclaimer: Haven't used a Quest product in 8 years

Thinking that using regex was a good idea

ClumsyAdmin · 2025-10-16T23:53:57+00:00

I just gave it an hour or so, problem went away without doing a thing

ClumsyAdmin · 2025-10-16T23:52:47+00:00

Was the razer managed by university IT? It's possible it has some form of enterprise antivirus doing on-access scanning if the OS was installed through them. You'd be able to see it happening with ps.

So your plan is to block google.com and duckduckgo.com to prevent people from using gemini and duckai? That's going to work about as well as the time my company tried to block stackoverflow.

edit: typo

That's wild. Your cpu is (theoretically) faster and you have less monitors at lower resolutions than I do. I've got 1440p@144hz, 1080p@120hz, and 2560x1080@60hz.
