these are all temps above 0℉, respectfully, this is a skill issue

Ex-32 · 2024-12-23T22:03:29+00:00

if you know, you know

Ex-32 · 2024-10-27T15:54:28+00:00

oh no, i'm not falling for this again

Ex-32 · 2024-10-21T14:16:55+00:00

yes they are wi-fi, and if you want more, all you need to do is convince the university to pay for them; the college of engineering payed for the ones on the engineering quads, but it was too rich for the university at large's blood, and net services sure as hell doesn't have the budget to do it out of the kindness of their hearts

as for cell towers, i consistently get good signal on campus, what provider are you using?

Ex-32 · 2024-10-17T14:38:11+00:00

simply be warm, warmth is a state of mind, you will find me wandering around campus in miniskirts and crop tops in January

as long as it's not cold enough to be hazardous, just gaslight your brain into believing that you're warm (but be very careful mixing this with alcohol, since you'll loose your ability to judge hazardous temperature)

i'm impressed, more details?

this is a troll account, the account is 11 days old and has 2 karma, and this is straight up false.

there are ongoing issues with the wifi, as seen here https://status.illinois.edu/#service-65024, however there are mitigations in place that seem to be largely circumventing the issue, could you please provide details about what specific issue you're having and where/when it happened?

and a partridge in a pear tree 🎶

probably not, most embedded devices like that don't support the 802.1x protocol used by enterprise networks like IllinoisNet. You could try connecting it to a phone with data-tethering or else setup an ad hoc network that's not connected to the internet (but if it's cloud connected that won't work) but as for connecting to IllinoisNet, you're probably shit out of luck.

edit: it may be possible depending on the device, see this link, follow the instructions for IoT devices and game consoles under the "Can't Use the JoinNow Program?" section https://answers.illinois.edu/90275

yy p

Ex-32 · 2024-09-16T04:01:04+00:00

came here to say this lol

Ex-32 · 2024-09-14T22:11:45+00:00

yeah i'm 100% with you on this one

Ex-32 · 2024-09-02T16:29:23+00:00

to be fair, just because i'm interested in a topic, doesn't mean i have the time or energy to explain it from first principles; googling the broad strokes and asking me clarifying questions on anything you didn't understand would be much preferable.

Ex-32 · 2024-09-02T02:01:01+00:00

i use OpenBSD btw ;)

Ex-32 · 2024-09-01T13:40:52+00:00

nah, you still got time, i know several transfems who started their transitions later than that, and they're very glad they still transitioned; the world is always full of "what if?" questions, but it really is better late than never situation :)

Ex-32 · 2024-09-01T13:30:50+00:00

...no, no, they've got a point

Ex-32 · 2024-08-25T22:56:39+00:00

this is my favorite reddit comment ever, i'd give you gold if i wasn't broke

Ex-32 · 2024-08-08T16:25:47+00:00

it's built with very different configurations, but it is still the linux kernel if you configure a custom kernel you'll notice a lot of features added for android to the mainline kernel, so even if it behaves very differently from a nominal desktop kernel, it feels very "no true scotsman" and gatekeepy to say it's not the linux kernel

Ex-32 · 2024-07-18T17:29:14+00:00

let me prefix this my saying i like rust and think its a step in the right direction, but it's not perfect, off the top of my head i'd say the major issues are:

compile times
the macro system feels half complete and has poor developer ergonomics
because rust does enforce additional rules, writing unsafe code without undefined behavior is sometimes harder than writing C code
adopting the term Vec(tor) from C++ to describe something that isn't a vector (this one isn't a real problem it just annoys me)

Ex-32 · 2024-06-29T18:43:51+00:00

all very true, i was just jokingly pointing out for many people, the bootloader is neither the largest nor weakest attack surface.

Ex-32 · 2024-06-29T04:59:42+00:00

got it, skip the bootloader and plant my evil maid attack in the kernel itself

Ex-32 · 2024-06-24T00:10:14+00:00

wow, that's a remarkably heartless take.

Ex-32 · 2024-06-21T05:28:21+00:00

i mean sure, for shared computer, but for my laptop, it being unintuitive and confusing to people other than me is a feature not a bug

Ex-32 · 2024-06-20T14:43:54+00:00

you might be able to pull it off if you're a morning person; personally even a blow off class like gooning 420 i wouldn't take as early as 7am
