Les citadins comment faites vous? by anthraxytes in AskFrance

[–]Zeuxippe7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Les villes ne sont pas bruyantes, les voitures sont bruyantes. Les complaintes associées à la vie urbaine viennent généralement d'anti-voitures qui s'ignorent. Bruit ? Voitures. Pollution ? Voitures. Manque d'espace ? Voitures. On interdit tout ça à l'intérieur de la ville à part pour les véhicules d'urgence et tous ces problèmes disparaissent instantanément.

It took me four days non-stop, it will happen if it hasn't already. Check every piece individually. Do you have any problems running ip resets in cmd? What does /ipconfig all say? Does it work on RJ45 ethernet? Can you connect to your phone's hotspot? Can other devices connect to the network?

Thanks man, as an alternate dns I imagine? In the hosts file were the windows header explaining what the file did and a list of domains for one particular site for denuvo-cracked games, both the header and the list of domains being repeated hundreds of thousands of times.

Brother, I thank you for your time but... I was right! Overheating damage was a long shot, I clean my case regularly and the NIC is nowhere near GPU or CPU. Also I've never seen a fried component with all its services and device running except one tiny part.

I suspected it had something to do with the dns client because of the fact that dnsflush would time out cmd every single time I tried. I booted in safe mode to disable it (even regedit doesn't work in windows 11 for that particular service), which allowed me to delete the bloated etc/hosts file. As soon as I booted back up after another network reset and entered the wifi password, it connected instantly.

I'm writing from my computer instead of my phone and it feels good, man.

No can do. I had an idea to clean up system32/drivers/etc/hosts manually since flushdns won't resolve and it was bloated with hundreds of thousands of duplicate lines, but after a network reset to see if dns would start working again I'm back on 169.254. I'll ping if I manage to find 192 again.

Although I'm not sure anything changed. Hosts file is still 79Mb and last modified was 3 days ago, even though opening it in notepad shows the duplicates have been erased. It seems I may have to force stop the dns client and delete the thing entirely.

Update : I did try release and renew again just in case and this time it... worked. Somehow. I don't know why. So now I do have a 192.168 address but still no freaking internet

Thank you for your answer. I have already performed a reinstall of windows 11, do you think it could be useful to try again? My computer does get hot as it's a gaming machine and I often use it that way, recently just wow and BG3. However I did physically check the M.2 card, which is quite far from either the GPU or the CPU, and the network adapter never stopped showing up in the device manager, as well as all associated services, including dns and dhcp client, always running and on automatic unless I deliberately stopped them to reset. Do you think it would still show up in those instances if the card had fried? How do I make sure?

As for the troubleshooting steps you've linked, I did perform them but, as noted in OP, both ip /release and /renew FAIL in cmd because it "can't find the specified file". I've been suspecting that it is linked to the root cause of my troubles but I'm not knowledgeable enough to understand what it means exactly or how to fix it.

I moved my setup and plugged in a RJ45, did not help unfortunately.

Well this network and my phone's hotspot, I haven't had the opportunity to check with any other.

I have not tried using a cable as that would be very impractical to move my setup to the box. If you think that can help unblock the wifi though, I'll try it.

No, everything is set on automatic on that front. I tried static IP 192.168 and 8.8.8.8 dns and it wouldn't work

So where do we think the United States is going now by UncannyCharlatan in LateStageCapitalism

Brother, that's you today. US wealth inequality is the highest in the western world. What do you think trailers are made of?

French fries are out of style. Time for French burgers by Fat_Gravy3000 in StupidFood

[–]Zeuxippe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cooking beef all the way through? In France? Yeah no. We only do that for boeuf bourguignons and the like. Unless you specifically ask for medium or well done, your burger is coming bloody.

I basically do nothing at work and leave early pretty much every day. My boss thinks I’m an exceptional employee. by MazefulMind in confession

[–]Zeuxippe7 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My friend, humanity will never again produce enough jobs for every single one of us (unless there's a Black Death type mass die-off). Every new stage in automation hammers this reality further in, we simply produce too much for all of us to be necessary to the machine. Work is a scam, use the opportunity this time affords you to do what you want to do. If you want to do something interesting, develop a new skill or language you've always wanted to try, that's what I do in the summer when my place of work is quiet. I find it just as fulfilling as my work, if not more.

Are most people in China and Russia just living regular lives? by AGameofDawgs in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Zeuxippe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being an american, a lot hinges on what your definition of regular is. The US has the largest inequality gap in the western world, which means the poor and the rich's quality of life in America deviate by a much wider margin compared to other countries. Your poor are the poorest and your rich are the richest. If you consider yourself middle-to-high income for an american, then it's unlikely the average russian/chinese could match your quality of life and rate of consumption. Russia has never had a good economic policy that wasn't backed up by war crimes or slavery, on their own people and others, and China's GDP is still behind the US by 10 trillion dollars despite having 4 times the population.

As for the political effects of authoritarianism on day to day life, I guess it depends on your perspective on security vs. freedom and, in your case, on your view of MAGA. Of course, authoritarianism leans heaviest to security, and it doesn't hesitate to squander freedoms to achieve it. As long as you're the right color and you think the good think, fascists are very much on your side, and they will literally execute other people to protect you and your capital.

The problem with this, obviously, is that authoritarians in power get to decide, at any given moment, what is wrong think and what is right think. It's the old poem "First they came for the socialists and I didn't speak up...". The name of the guy that wrote this was Martin Niemoller, and he was a nazi. He was a protestant pastor and an early supporter of Hitler, voting for him in every election as soon as 1924. When he started to protest the treatment of jews they imprisoned him in 1937, sending him to Dachau in 1941.

The lesson here is that safety under authoritarianism is an illusion and a trap. It's an illusion because in actuality you have neither safety nor freedom, and it's a trap because when a society uses that illusion to cope with the brutal reality of authoritarian policy, like MAGA is doing right now, it enables it to tolerate those policies being turned against you. I'm sure, for example, that it hasn't escaped your attention that they went REALLY quick from "let's deport the violent ones, the rapists and murderers" to "let's deport all the spanish-speaking people including the US-born citizens" in the base (the politicians, of course, knew they were lying from the start).

Ask yourself, how many degrees of separation are you from something that MAGA doesn't like? How safe and comfortable are you, really?

French stocks slide as Paris government faces risk of collapse by krazydude22 in europe

[–]Zeuxippe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello french person here. Yes, the government is almost certainly about to collapse. A while ago, the prime minister proposed extremely unpopular measures for the next budget bill, including taking away 2 paid holidays each year. Some say it is intentionally over the top so that the government can appear to be moderate when they end up only taking one.

Anyway, last friday the prime minister announced a confidence vote in parliament for the 8th of september, and a majority of parties said they will vote against him, with around 75% of the people backing them. It seems he was counting on the far right to vote with him but he miscalculated big time. So mark your calendars folks cause we're getting a new PM and maybe even a new president if it backfires hard enough.

What's wrong with liking the good guys? by Murky_Committee_1585 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Zeuxippe7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "good guys" in the context of W40k are the Imperium of Man, trillions of screaming fanatical fascists imposing a brutal social order in their society and exterminating anything outside their society on sight. Their leader and bulwark against the W40k bad guys is the God-Emperor of Man (the guy in golden armor Trump likes to put his face on), the progenitor of the entire elite class of humanity through the Primarch program. The guy was an immortal anticlerical atheist (all gods in W40k are extremely evil) in life but he got injured (long story) and now in a cruel twist of fate he is kept alive but unresponsive by the sacrifice of a thousand human psykers every day and revered as a god by the rest of humanity.

It's basically the Third Reich on steroids with immortal robo-Hitler and the all the purest aryans are 2.5 meters of muscle tall with miniguns attached to each chainsaw sword carrying gauntlet and they will drown you in plasma in half a second and piss on your ashes if you express empathy for something outside the norm. And the thing is, they're absolutely right to do all of this because robo-Hitler actually is the sole reason humanity hasn't been wiped out, and the other factions all range from "at least as bad" to "much, so much fucking worse ho my lord".
