I also don't have a fan, but the towel trick works well enough that I can live without one
To anyone else who can't afford AC - on hot, restless nights, run some cold water over a towel and wring it until it isn't soaking wet, then use that as a blanket
Reclaiming RSS
“Before Twitter, before algorithmic timelines filtered our reality for us, before surveillance capitalism, there was RSS: Really Simple Syndication … As we move away from the centralised web to the peer web, it’s time to rediscover, re-embrace, and reclaim RSS.”

Probably going to apply for a second job tomorrow morning since my current one isn't letting me work enough hours. Wish me luck

Got the #fsfbulletin. I'll consider becoming a member this time around now that the student rates apply to me
Never thought I'd be excited about 30 KB/s down, but I think that's the most I'm going to get with 5 peers on I2P
I'm growing more fond of Gentoo by the day
Just noticed that portage appropriately sets the GECOS field of users it creates so that you know which users belong to which packages.
But I have backups so it's okay. Well, I hope. I think fsck gave me a decent idea of which files got fucked over, but I feel like it probably overwrote some important config file and it isn't going to bite me in the ass for another month
It must've been really bad though because fsck thought it would be a good idea to turn my prom pictures into directories
That was damn stressful. It was literally just one sector so I forced a remap with hdparm(8), ran an obligatory fsck(8), and now I'm not getting any more IO errors. I'm scared to do anything else, though.
I think I fucked something up, I've got a bad sector on this brand new drive after messing around with some new PCI hardware. Hopefully I can remap it without this problem getting worse?
Colin Percival tweeted a short thread on the “Lazy FPU” vulnerability that was just disclosed (CVE-2018-3665).
Colin credits his learning about it to Theo de Raadt. Took him ~5 hours to come up with working exploit code.

Had to show ID to buy a can of computer duster today and it hit me that I'm old enough to do a lot of stuff now, like buy myself pseudoephedrine when I'm sick or check into a hotel. But then it got me thinking, why do I need an ID to do these things anyway? I kinda get needing some sort of identification when you're buying pseudoephedrine, but why do I need to be 18?
Just got home from freshman orientation. Real excited to start college this fall, I'm really happy with the school I'm going to
The worst is yet to come
