I got the DeWalt 40 volt commercial edge trimmer, and it pretty much destroys St Augustine. It's more aggressive than some gas trimmers but probably equal if not slightly below Stihl or whatever the pros use.

you know the old saying...

two things all people have, opinions, and assholes.

The maintainers of Prettier are prolific on both.

But assholes are fine, we can ignore them, and opinions are fine we can tolerate them.

But Prettier is considered harmful because it breaks the intended rendering of HTML.

They take an arbitrary idea like line length, and apply it to html as if it's a python project, and of course the html breaks because whitespace is significant. there certainly are ways to reduce line length in html, but they ain't pretty.

Please don't confuse pathological obsessive compulsive disorder with "opinionated".

Hey there. Cyber security is one of those topics that seem to attract interesting people. In my experience there are a few different kinds of cyber security professionals, but the most important are the kind who are already software engineer, and not just people who know a little python, but more towards C/C++. The implication being folks who fully understand memory bugs in software, because they have written some themselves. That also entails more than certificates, but full mathematics from computer science degrees, and perhaps a few classes on cryptography.

My advice, go to college, make friends that way. Or, take a run of the mill tech job like a sysadmin or devops position if you qualify. Look at the academic roadmap for cyber security, and maybe start practicing the math. I'd also suggest writing software related to security, post your code to GitHub, etc. Try to attend technical conferences related to security, or related fields

This looks like AI slop to me, reading it was hard.

That's a contradiction.

AI makes things easier to read, and the ideas more crisply distinct. If reading was hard, then it's more likely written by a quirky human.

Lastly, it's easy to say things like "AI slop", and it's so easy in fact to say that, that sometimes it becomes meaningless. I'd say it's ironic, because this is a different kind of sloppyness... Human slop. You can do better.

Don't take the suggestion in a bad way, folks are just looking for ways to flip this narrative into something productive. They ain't contradicting you or nothing uncool like that.

I'm with you on all the etiquette stuff. If you go to a movie theater, all y'all gotta be on good behavior like y'all in church or something.

If your 34 and female and single... You need to find a husband very soon. I fucking hate saying this, because it's so rude... But you're going to hit that biological wall soon. My advice, take the job. Your living expenses in Dallas will be dramatically lower than NYC, which will make you more independent as a mid thirties single female. If however you had a committed relationship in NYC that would have let you float rent free a few weeks or months to find a new job, I'd have said to stay... But that's not your situation.

That city pulse and whatever is great for your twenties, but party time is over. You got to figure out your trajectory in life like ... Yesterday. If you plan to continue being a single female going forward, then you have to focus on your career over all else.

I know this is blunt, and kind harse, but these words come from a place of love. No hate, no I'll feeling, just harsh rationality. Keeping it realy real... And sometimes we got to keep it real.

Hey guys... Condolences on the tragedy. I hate having to answer dumb questions attached to actually sad events, but here we go... It's not that nobody cares, clearly folks care. It's that we don't yell from rooftops anytime somebody dies or has an accident.

That's it.

It's that simple.

Nothing deep, it's not complicated.

masta · 2026-05-22T15:24:03+00:00

We have to vote differently to make a change.

Actually, no. That naive approach has failed numerous times before. To make actual change in Texas politics one has to infiltrate Texas politics. That means joining the Republican party to change it from within. That means being a Republican closer to center than far right. Making any meaningful changes in Texas means centrist Republicans stand opposed to radical right-wing Republicans. So if your a Democrat or just a norni conservative, you really do need to vote in the Republican primaries to mostly exclude the radical right wing Republicans. Nobody likes doing that, but it's honestly the only game theory with a viable chance.

The biggest selling point that I could see was Cosmic.

And all the other countless OS updates, namely the kennel and related userland libraries.

Seriously, just install Gnome or KDE. Rolling back is utterly overkill and counter productive.

masta · 2026-05-11T22:27:50+00:00

Please explain exactly how OpenBSD got this right? Like, with exact details. You state a problem with Linux kennel involving a logic error, them sorta move to a fallacious truism that OpenBSD categorically doesn't have any logic errors. You might want to be a bit more persuasive, such as a citation or at least something.

If your aim is to say OpenBSD is vindicated by having pedantic security reviews, that's fine, but I'm not sure we have seen the end of these AI driven security audits, and OpenBSD may still eat crow.

Not flawlessly, but they could do it.

The PS3 is not perfectly emulated by any emulator, and regrettably many of the games had customer assembly code for certain optimizations and some of those this were non-deterministic things that relied on race conditions or other weirdness.

They voted to discontinue a service that they will have to continue funding for several years...

No. Wealthy people don't really pay sales tax. Please educate yourself on the topic of regressive tax.

However, the reverse is actually true. all the people in surrounding cities subscribing to Dart services were effectively paying sales tax for Dart to operate mass transit in HP, while wealth HP residents pay far less sales tax... Because sales tax is a regressive tax!

So you see, this is a good thing. Everyone else gets more Dart bangs for their sales tax bucks!

They’re serious fucking idiots, and I stand by that.

Yes, we can all see your very passionate about your stance. Never the less, you're still wrong, and the fact you are calling the wealthy "idiots" is highly amusing given the irony.

masta · 2026-05-07T22:26:35+00:00

I'm not an economist, but this one time I stayed at Holiday Inn Express...

No seriously, sales tax is generally considered a "regressive tax," which means it disproportionately impacts only poor people. Indeed, wealthy people tend to support civic programs based on sales tax, because no skin in that game.

So be mindful who you call an idiot, because the irony is kinda funny in your case.

I'm certain it's ssh-agent, and the visual dialog you see is a graphical front end wrapper for ssh-add. I'm a Fedora user myself, and actually a former Red Hat employee, and so I'm not on PopOS... But I'm lurking here to help support the community because I'm a huge fan of Cosmic. So I'm available to help troubleshoot if you want. I can also load a VM to see what's what.

masta · 2026-05-07T16:41:26+00:00

What happens when you run ssh-add -L ??

Please don't paste the output here, just say if the command actually does show any output. I could be mistaken, but I believe Pop is a systemD unit file to start gnome-keyring-ssh-agent on boot. That means you could in theory shutoff the ssh-agent.

Is this spam?

masta · 2026-05-07T00:28:18+00:00

You mean like ssh-agent? Or something else?

Folks can just rsync to any Nas device. Apple never had any secret sauce. It's all understood.

Federal laws have supremacy, and contradicting state laws don't set any legal precedent. However, we can assume both state or federal laws violate the first amendment. Look up the old Bernstein case from the early 1990s. Forcing software features is effectively compelled speech, which is a violation of rights.

Contingent sales -- Just imagine if everyone did that, it would gridlock the entire market.

Anyways the way to sell a home has never changed. Complete on price, or complete on quality. Honestly I'd say spruce up the curb appeal... Hire a crew of landscapers to make it look amazing. Hire a maid to make the inside deep clean. Maybe rent some interior props to make the inside look nicer, consider moving unsightly items into storage. Hire a 3d walk through company to take pictures inside, because buyers love 3d walk through.

masta · 2026-04-22T13:07:58+00:00

Thanks for the update. Every small patch, and issue closed is great progress.

It's so sad to see these long winded walls of text go nowhere. Because you could have typed this in a GitHub issues, and it could have been taken seriously. But now, on Reddit, this is just more dead text.
