Depends on the currency, though…

In 1999 when the entire town was on dialup, I set up this relatively small PC with FreeBSD 3.3 and eggdrop, and hid it in the school library. That way I had an IRC bot that worked while I was offline. After a while I also set it up to automatically grab files from FTP servers for me, but getting these out from the “server” offline was tricky due to 1.44MB floppies being the only removable storage I had available.

Back then internet carried dialup charges per minute for me, so this was a huge time and money saver.

You can test it in the phone and see if it has any juice in it, then. If I were in your shoes I’d feel safe in testing it that way.

It’s probably fine. The batteries don’t care about moisture, as long as the pins don’t get shorted or corroded.

If they were wet enough to shorted, the symptoms are usually a dead battery or it seeming puffy, a.k.a. spicy pillow.

I was thinking the same thing. Spanning tree is love. Spanning tree is life…when deployed correctly.

Alternatively I’m thinking noise, as I’ve seen that in 10gig connections a few times, which is why I prefer LC fiber where possible.

I never fully got into 3d printing, but I got far enough that I designed a lot in openscad. This was 10 years ago, and it was really popular back then, and might still be.

Yes, it would be very weird for server addresses to have the service name as a subdomain. Like a common prefix of web servers to signify that it’s serving world wide web.

On a more serious note, this used to be fairly common for many protocols to ensure loaf balancing between different protocols - you’d have one server for www, one for ftp, and so on.

Also, from an administrative point of view, it’s more manageable when you can, for example, add an entire (sub)domain to the firewall rules.

A “documentary” similar to This is Spinal Tap.

But for Steel Panther.

Depends on your OS, but symlinks can do that for you - file exists once, but multiple “files” link to it. The application (torrent client) doesn’t care.

The what now?

Pardon me, I should’ve been more specific: I don’t care how either. Nor am I on windows, for that matter.

This is where i’d add a thumbs up emoji of approval, but I don’t know how.

Not a TV show, but one of the Matrix movies (the 2nd IIRC) has Trinity use nmap and a well known exploit at the time to hack into a system.

Well, we could agree on those two things, at least…

Norway - Similar to many European countries, owning a gun requires a certifiable reason to do so, which basically means hunting or target shooting. Loads of guns here, as there’s a lot of moose and deer. Obtaining and owning a hunting rifle requires skill tests and a theoretical exam, and you need to be part of a hunting group.

ARs are banned for obvious reasons. The only exception is for people who are army reservists who are (were?) allowed to store their service weapon at home, if they have proper secure storage options available. This may have changed since I was a reservist myself, but those were the rules in 2007 at least.

Pistols are legal for target shooting, but with strict background checks and so forth. Plus you have to be part of a target shooting club. Getting a pistol is generally harder than a rifle, as a means of preventing pistols from ending up on the streets. Gun voilence happens, but it is extremely rare, and mostly tied to gangs and/or organized crime. Except from this asshole in 2011.

Carrying permit for guns is pretty much none existent. To/from hunting or shooting range.

Self defense is not a valid reason for obtaining and carrying a gun. You don’t really need it either. The only exception is Svalbard where is is possible due to polar bears. And even then, you can’t be an idiot about it; a few years ago this dumbass got permanently banned from the Svalbard territory after intentionally provoking a polar bear, then shooting it, claiming self defense.

Psssst, hey, wanna try some drugs linux?

You should try it. It’s awesome, it’ll change your outlook on things. This is totally peer pressure, but hey, it could be drugs or smoking.

I’ve been a BSD and linux user for 25 years now, and I can quit whenever I want to. I just don’t want to.

Admittedly, my health has suffered from distro abuse; it landed me a well paying job, and I can now afford to eat bacon whenever I want to.

I’m not a fan of kink-shaming, but that is objectively funny. I choose to believe he was also into balloon-bestiality by sometimes going squiggee-fnurp-scratch-tadaa and producing balloon animals as part of the foreplay
