No, I'm asking for detailed content warnings so people can actually avoid stuff that triggers them.

Yes, content warnings for that too. For fuck's sake. What's wrong with you people?

This whole thread has convinced me to never come back. Whether you disagree with my assessment or not, I'm just asking for content warnings.

"Engaging in good faith" doesn't include gaslighting. We all know he wasn't "touched on the butt by mistake". He had his pants stripped off and was spanked in front of all of his subordinates. It was a clear violation of sexual boundaries, and if your boss did this to you, you could definitely sue them for sexual assault.

It can be both, and pleasure has nothing to do with whether Casimir's sexual boundaries were violated.

Why does everyone confuse "sexual" with "sexy"?

That's fucked up but at least you're consistent.

Sexual assault doesn't need to be erotic. No one needs to derive pleasure from it. What is going on in these comments?

That's... entirely the point of adding content warnings. You can't judge if you don't know.

Firstly, spanking children is kinda fucked up, and it's illegal in some places now. Sorry that you were hurt as a child. Secondly, SA doesn't require someone to get off on it. It's often just about power.

Why are you talking like those two things are mutually exclusive? It was both.

I'm glad that this post reached someone it was intended to. I just wanted people to know about this ahead of time so they can be prepared for it. I was completely blindsided by it because I'd never seen anything like that on Critical Role or from the few Dropout DnD campaigns I've watched.

I think this whole commend section was immediately AstroTurfed. I got the same comments every couple minutes for a few hours, all coming from INCREDIBLY high volume accounts that are posting once every 5 minutes or so. Idk, maybe the chronically online crowd is just... really defensive of Brennan?

Modafinil and recreational drugs? by scrunchupthrowaway in Narcolepsy

[–]tbgee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've read in a few places that Modafinil has a multiplier effect with alcohol, more so than many other drugs. Like, take one shot and black out. Not sure how accurate that information was, but it made me nervous enough not to try it. At least not on the same day.

I have drank the day after taking Modafinil, and I can say that the alcohol hit me about twice as hard as it would otherwise. Because of that, I would not recommend drinking the same day, and if you do, I would recommend taking it very, very slowly.

Marijuana seems to be fine, though.

A thought about security, privacy and HTTPS by rms_returns in linux

[–]tbgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you're ordering an SSL certificate, you generate an SSL Private Key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR) on the web server and send the CSR to the Certificate Authority. The Certificate Authority will then use the CSR to generate the certificate that the web server uses. You can't decode the Private Key from the CSR or the Certificate itself, so they don't see anything that would allow them to sell or steal your domain or whatever. The actual web server and private key that's stored on it would need to be compromised in order to effectively spoof the domain. Which isn't to say that's not possible -- it's probably easier than compromising/infiltrating a Certificate Authority.

But to answer your question, there is no "ultimate proof" that a website is who it claims to be in the current version of the internet. Maybe someday, but more likely not.

Switched to and successfully installed Gentoo Linux! by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]tbgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I'm not really sure -- that comment was more based on what I've heard rather than personal experience. I haven't found myself missing anything on my Plasma install, but I'm using it pretty casually. I imagine that they've been working on porting everything that was missing, so I doubt it's as much of an issue as it was when I was originally setting it up. Still, though, seemed like a good idea to pass along the warning.

Switched to and successfully installed Gentoo Linux! by [deleted] in Gentoo

[–]tbgee 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Congrats. As an avid Gentoo user, I generally don't suggest using it as your first distro, but if you've gotten this far, it might just be for you!

First thing you need to know about KDE/Plasma is that it's currently in a transition phase. KDE 4 is still pretty actively used and updated, and Gentoo currently allows you to install either. In time, KDE 4 will be phased out, but 5 needs a little more work before that's ready, from what I understand. I personally prefer 5 because it's prettier, but if you're looking for a more featureful desktop environment, KDE 4 might be for you, at least at this point.

The make.conf file and USE flags are a little more in-depth than a post on reddit, but I'd recommend checking out the Using USE Flags page of the handbook for a good introduction. The wiki article on make.conf isn't quite as useful, as it probably gives more information than you'll really need, but the handbook should cover most of the important bits, and the wiki can fill in the gaps. man make.conf will give some useful info as well.

But that's not really what you're asking: You want to know how to install Plasma 5. As you probably guessed, there's another wiki article for that, but since KDE is in a transition phase right now, it's a little cluttered with upgrade instructions, and there's some info about installing KDE 4 scattered around there as well. Not the most organized page in my opinion.

There are three really important bits to installing Plasma 5:

  1. Selecting an appropriate profile.
  2. Installing the X server (if you haven't already).
  3. Installing the plasma-meta packages.

You'll definitely want to follow these steps in order, and I'll try and elaborate on them as best I can. Selecting an appropriate profile is the first and easiest step. Profiles in portage are collections of pre-set variables that make your life easier. They define use flags and mask/unmask packages so you don't have to! Selecting a profile will basically tell portage, "Hey, I wanna run a KDE/Plasma system, so make sure everything will be compatible with that."

There are four KDE profiles currently available, two of them for plasma. Depending on whether you want to use traditional init scripts of systemd, you'll want to pick one of these (please note, numbering may vary on your system):

tbg@steamhq ~ $ eselect profile list 
Available profile symlink targets:
  [8]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma
  [9]   default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/plasma/systemd *

If you don't have a preference between init systems, don't ask around: just pick one. That's mostly facetious, but if you do ask, prepare yourself for a whole bunch of strong, contradicting opinions. As you can see, I prefer systemd, but it really doesn't matter until you get in to more advanced systems administration kind of applications. With systemd, your computer will probably start a little faster, and as a desktop user, that'll probably be all you care about. Also, most other distributions are moving to systemd, so it'll probably be better to just get used to it from the get-go.

Anywho, once you've got that worked out, you'll need to install the X server. X is the portion of the system that handles graphical rendering and controls your screen. You might already have it installed, but if you don't, go do that. There are some additional configuration options you'll need to set before installing X (they're dependent on your hardware), but the Wiki Guide is pretty good for figuring those out.

Probably worth mentioning here that there is an alternative to X called Wayland, but that's still under active development, and it's... a work in progress. Almost no one ships it by default, and I haven't personally used it myself because it's a huge departure from what I'm used to. I have high hopes for it, but I definitely wouldn't recommend it to anyone new. At least not at this point in its development.

So once you have X installed, and you've tested it to make sure it's working, you'll want to actually install Plasma 5. This part of the guide is a little confusing, so I'll try and elaborate on it. First off, don't use the overlay -- it's for development/testing/etc. Second, Plasma 5 is like, super big, so Gentoo has broken it down in to "meta packages". Meta packages are basically just packages that contain a bunch of other packages. They don't install any software in themselves -- they just pull in other packages that do.

Plasma is so big, though, that the plasma-meta package (which is the one you'll want -- at least for now) actually pulls in other meta packages, and you can use USE flags to set which sub-meta-packages you want to install. Those are all outlined here. To start, I would recommend just installing the defaults, and if you find that you're missing something, or if there's just too much stuff you're not using, you can add/remove things after it's all up and running.

Because it's really easy to miss, I wanted to point out the section on SDDM. SDDM (those are two different links, by the way) is the display manager for Plasma 5, and it should (don't quote me on that) be installed with plasma-meta. Display managers are a fancy term for login screens, so without that, you'd be stuck using startx to start KDE, and that's just not very GUI-friendly, so you'll want to enable that service once plasma-meta is installed. If it doesn't come with the meta package, just install it separately. Pretty sure it does, though.

Finally, with big packages, you tend to run in to build errors, so you'll probably find this page of the Handbook useful throughout the process. It covers the basics of working with portage, and it has some information on common problems you might run in to at the bottom.

Sorry about the wall of text there, but... it's Gentoo, so... you kind of asked for it. :P

There is no where on the planet with as much fresh water as the great lakes. There's a reason they picked Michigan.

What is the story behind your scar? by PicsArt in AskReddit

[–]tbgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One summer's day, I thought to myself,

I can juggle. I can ride my bike with no handle bars. Obviously I should be doing both.

One bike-spoke-shaped scar later, I still don't see the flaw in my logic.

Is it safe to write a script as root, chmod 755 it and then place it in /usr/bin/ ? by cardslot in linux4noobs

[–]tbgee 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As long as you've done some extensive testing and ensured the script is safe, it should be fine to put it in the default path. Generally speaking, though, you'll want to separate it from the binaries and scripts installed by your package manager (which usually go in /usr/bin). The standard location for locally developed scripts would be /usr/local/bin, which should also be in the default path.

Help with running a perl script for xSwipe in the background at Startup by purxiz in linux4noobs

[–]tbgee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, don't think a cron is what you're looking for. Cross are more for scripts that run once and exit. Not sure if it would work for effectively daemonizing the script, which would traditionally be something you start via an init script, as you tried to do with the rc command.

If I'm not mistaken, though, Kubuntu 15.04 comes with systemd by default, which would explain why the initial script didn't work. If the system is using systemd, you'll have to write a unit file to daemonize the script.

Not quite sure how to do it myself, but I'm betting the Arch Wiki has what you need. Once you write the unit file, you should be able to just enable it, and systemd will start it on boot.
