baby looks kinda skrd

That is what I meant by configure. You’re not going to HP to download your printer driver or realtek to get one for your network adaptor. To the end user, the kernel includes the required modules, or it is a matter of simple configurations. The exception being proprietary garbage. However with Nvidia on Fedora, it is a non issue as the Anaconda system builds the Nvidia module from source with every kernel update from outside of the kernel but under the shim, so even secure boot works.

The OP was not asking computer science OS 101. My reply is just intended as a surface level to cause them to question the drivers mentality. I’ve seen many people follow this logic and not get anywhere.

Indeed, gaps are present in my knowledge. I understand what you wrote, in theory, but vaguely based on my reading from a forum on kernel architectures several years ago. I’m most familiar with the user experience of configuring a custom Linux kernel with Gentoo versus needing a WiFi driver that I need WiFi access to source.

Since you are touching on a gap in my knowledge, perhaps a more recent issue and curiosity will help me ground this a little better if you do not mind responding. What is the deal with secure boot and Windows drivers? How are they able to run some random driver from the internet that has DMA?

Software neutrality in the entire public sector should be a law. Leverage of proprietary software and media like professor published book scams are criminal extortion.

Oh, yeah. That is why I said limit. Even GitHub has ridiculous tracker junk now. I have most of that blocked. It really sucks that people are so complacent to the onset of feudalism. Chalk it up to ignorance of history. Giving up citizenship in a democracy always has terrible consequences throughout history. People now seem to act like it is crazy to point this out, but are blind about the big picture consequences. Things may seem bad now, but this path will make them massively worse.

A white list fire wall is the only way to limit them.

That sounds like a hardware issue.

Keep in mind that Linux is a monolithic kernel. It doesn’t technically have drivers at all or go missing. All supporting kernel modules for hardware are always present at the configuration level. The general kernels shipped by distros are configured to work out of the box for most hardware. The only exceptions should be instances where oddball hardware can cause conflicts with the standard way other hardware works in the same space. Then there are cases where hardware is totally undocumented publicly by the chip manufacturers. That is the worst kind as some of those have poor or no support.

By contrast, Windows is a microkernel. It only creates an API layer for the hardware vendor to write a driver that interfaces with Windows. They leave it entirely up to the end user to get stuck in the middle, source and install the driver and deal with any potential issues. In other words they don’t have devs to maintain or do anything meaningful in this space, and they enable undocumented proprietary crap hardware.

If the corset brace continues to be as effective as it has proven over the last 3 days, my life is flipping 180 degrees, and it looks damn promising. Last night, after working on my bedroom lab all day, I set my goals to target the end of this year. I want to finish several projects and try to document them to show what I’ve done with myself and some of what I have learned in the last 10 years. If I am still in good enough shape by the end of the year, I will get my license, a car, and a job. I haven’t worked full time since before the crash that disabled me 2/26/14, and have not worked part time since 4/17. So, a little exciting for me. I always felt so very close to okay but it seemed to always be just out of reach. Who would imagine that all it took was a cheap $20 brace strapped around my ribs; certainly not 13 of the most reputable neurosurgeons from San Diego to Los Angeles, a DO, a physical therapist, or a half dozen pain specialists over the last 10 years.

Yeah but not the bad actors this is primarily targeting and will create further issues. There are likely 3 keyword tokens used in a pattern. The most adept of humans should learn these and be damn sure to never use that pattern in any natural way.

Hold up, let me ban a couple hundred tokens in the reply. Pattern fixed. Watermarking only works for the most ignorant surface level users.

What kind of monster family had a kid with mental health issues, in therapy, and has an accessible gun around unsupervised?

Land acquisition cost and not in my backyard’ers. At least here in Southern California. There is no chance that a loosely regulated and toxic high salinity waste water plant would get past public and environmental scrutiny. The only really viable areas are the last local refuges for many.

Like from Mexico to Santa Barbara, the camp Pendleton Marine Corps base is one of the only viable spots. The decommissioned nuclear power plant would be one of the mostly likely spots to build such a facility, but that is surrounded by a state park and some of the most prised undeveloped local surf real estate. Many municipal and commercial projects have vied for that land, but there is fierce local opposition from a wealthy and very politically well connected public.

There has been occasional talk about opening up the Pacific side of the 5 freeway to public development as this is some of the federal government’s most valuable real estate. Even if this happened, that would become one of the most elite places to live in the country.

Few people know this, but the Southern California coast around Orange County and North of San Diego is a spot of rare deep ocean upwelling. There is a micro climate here within a couple miles of the coast that is regulated by the ocean upwelling maintaining temperatures. It is always cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter here and almost always between 50°F and 80°F even when a few miles away it can be 40°F-100°F. This is one of the main reasons why real estate in these areas is so high.

No one trusts a mole

Let’s go 1980!

That was no riot. That was a failed coup

Casting is much harder to access now in many urban settings. I wish I could but have no space for it where I live.

A lot of that is inflated.

Spark plugs are nothing to replace and just like removing and replacing 8 bolts. I haven’t worked on stuff in 10 years but $16 for a plug sounds like twice what they should be.

A leaf spring is 6 bolts per spring. With a lift, that takes way less than 1 hour

The time estimates are way off IMO, like triple the real world time. I bet the parts are similarly double to triple what they can be found for on the open market.

sure if it was a laptop, but not a monitor. It would mean that this is intended as a reflector and that doesn’t really jive. It would need to be grounded too. Plus the shape and length would really act screwy and unpredictably.
