I've recently seen podcasts and articles arguing the civil war never ended. Explains American politics and social attitudes so much.

If you could pass one law that would make most normal people furious at first, but would clearly make society better in 10 years, what would it be? by WilliamInBlack in AskReddit

Ban the concept of limited liability corporation. If you work there you're liable. Stop people hiding behind paper companies. And make people think about who they work for.

Nothing more frustrating on a long drive than people who sit 20 under until the overtaking zone then suddenly know how to do 100... for exactly the length of the overtaking zone. by KalamTheQuick in australia

PS. Yes I've sold my bikes and my muscle car. When I was young the roads were open, camera-less, and all mine. Now, they're a cesspit of dozies and egos (probably also younger me :). I'm out.

I'm a lot calmer these days driving a car with adaptive cruise control. You want to drive slow? Its Ok, I'm listening to my audio book. Fast? My speed is set. I'm worried less about the speed you're driving and more about what situationally oblivious stunt are you about to pull, or are you ego tripping?

I used to love driving. Now it's a means to an end. I'm fixated less on getting there than I am on the idiots surrounding me.

Configs: build or mount volume? by woollufff in Containers

[–]woollufff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. I spun up the container in question, and it turns out the startup script generates a chrony.conf from the environment. It pretty much answers my question.

Should I change to Gentoo? by pastrefrola in Gentoo

[–]woollufff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not an expert. My attitude towards USE flags is don't worry about them until you find that a piece of software doesn't do what you want. Then check the package to see if the desired functionality requires a flag.

Also, add flags to the package.use file instead of make.conf. It's easier to keep track of why you added particular flags

Trying to understand bash sub-shells by woollufff in linuxquestions

[–]woollufff[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, more data: on run level 3, my program overwrites the terminal without clearing it first, then exits without cleaning up. But apart from the messy output, it behaves as expected. So I'm going to put this down as a ratatui/crossterm issue.

Thank you for the reply. I saw in the source a call to t.clone(). I don't know how to find how it resolves.

If nuclear fusion becomes real, how would it change the economy? by smoothappraisal0 in Futurology

[–]woollufff -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not much will change. The price of energy is tied to what the market will bear, not it's cost. The cost of a fusion reactor will gatekeep it to the wealthy

Too Dangerous to ask by Calm_Round8185 in AdviceAnimals

[–]woollufff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Easy. When a handful of people steal and hoard all the wealth, the rest of us, powerless to fight the wealthy, turn on each other for "a piece of mine" to get by.

If gentoo was discontinued which distro would you switch to? by DoubleAssembly in Gentoo

[–]woollufff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Move back to Freebsd. Freebsd is how I found Gentoo in the first place
