And extracting a fuck tonne of sensitive data

I get frustrated with the track pads. Sometimes they click, sometimes they drag, sometimes they right click. I know its number of fingers and pressure/speed of clicking? I'm sure it's great if you learn it, but nobody else has adopted it.

Oh, and 2 programs side by side and you have to jump between menus of both of them for whatever reason. The whole "1 menu per desktop" is frustrating

I've given this a read.
https://homelabstarter.com/homelab-networking-basics/

Covers the basics, explains them well & technically, and points to "further learning".

A CNC shop wouldn't start because someone decides "I want to start a CNC shop".

It would start cause some guy has a mill and a lathe for hobby stuff, and does some work for a mate or a local business.
And then gets more work, and gets work that requires CNC, and gets more work than 1 person can deal with, and then needs more machines and machinists and CAD tech and designers and so on.

Yeh, a business could get something from PCBway or whatever. But maybe they need it by the end of the day, or maybe they need an opinion on something, or maybe they can't do the actual technical document production but can provide some measurements and a rough sketch.

Apply that to anything.
The UK Army's L96A1 was made by 3 guys in a shed.

The Ministry of Defence wanted Accuracy International to submit an entry, but when they won handily, suddenly the three men in Mr Walls’ shed were charged with producing over 1200 rifles and all of a sudden needed to prove they could make that many weapons.

What they did was rent out a workshop for a day and filled it with all of the guns they had made in the shed up to that point, claimed the rest of the staff were out to lunch and later found out when they went to eat with the requisitions lieutenants that the inspection was purely to ensure the operation was not just three men in a shed.

What a soleless joke

No, the heat propagation through the copper block (meaning the contact surface gets to 100 degrees before the top of the block) balances out that the copper block loses heat to the surrounding area via it's side walls.

Get them to send you the check.
Say you deposited it.
See what happens.

Offer steam gift cards as the payment for the inevitable "I sent too much" part of the scam. Steam is no longer selling physical gift cards.
So you can waste some time pretending to go to a shop, unable to find them, trying other shops etc.

Kitboga is a master at wasting scammers time if you want some YT vids to watch.

I'd start with learning some networking basics.
Subnets, default gateways, DNS, routes, VLANs.

Then get another computer to install proxmox on.
Learn VMs, SSH, firewalls, basically Linux. Probably VPNs as well.

Then set up a VM and play with docker & docker-compose.

And that's most of the tooling to be able to self host anything. A VM with docker, set up the docker compose of what you want, boom: done.
Some projects are more of a "full of" kinda thing (like home assistant), which would be its own VM

I was thinking about this.
I think a roller is fixed and facilitates moving other things.
And a wheel facilitates moving the thing it is attached to.

I know it's just a different frame of reference.

It's hidden for users. Try sudo ./exploit

(not sure where to post this...)

I had an idea there might be a TUI lib for typescript. A duckduckgo search came up with an article that described exactly what I wanted!
So of course I immediately searched for this fabled tui lib. A quick search didn't reveal anything, and npm can't seem to find it either! https://www.npmjs.com/search?q=Tui
Navigating directly to the npm package page reveals a 10 year old got repo with no actual code... (https://github.com/basarat/tui)

What the scuff is this world coming to?!
This seems to absolutely align with my experience of using LLMs

(Also accepting suggestions for typescript TUI libs that actually exist!)

How is funding? (programming.dev)

I've been here a while, and I appreciate the community and the defed/hiding list.
I also know programming.dev contributes to upstream Lemmy repos.

I saw another post about another instances funding.
Which reminded me....

Is programming.dev on track for funding?
Need some more donations?
Is there a runway?
