Is “air lines” really two words? I could’ve sworn it was “airlines.”

My mechanic drives an eGolf. If they still sold them here I’d dump the A3 and hop into one.

My Audi is a small punchy A3 with a turbo. First off people driving here in Los Angeles are so distracted with their phones, and when they’re in these large vehicles it’s easy to navigate around them and actually get places quickly.

I really can’t understand why just about everyone here drives those huge cars: they’re slow, they consume a lot of gas (if non-EV) and rarely do you see them actually hauling anything. In fact the real people that need them (landscapers, etc.) are usually driving smaller trucks.

Dying to buy one as an Audi driver but the only electric vehicles Volkswagen wants to sell in the US are these gigantic fucking tanks that drive distracted as hell.

I do most my work on the terminal so I prefer something in the middle: convention over configuration, most functionality included but rather small by default. More complex needs can be compiled in.

Related: I wish more Linux distributions’ package managers would allow for binary installation alongside source compiled packages. In FreeBSD I’m amazed at how well pkg’ binary packages play with ports-compiled ones.

There’s a big difference between UNIX and Linux, and BSD can be very different from even other UNIX distributions. I believe macOS’ userland (definitely not the kernel) is based on FreeBSD 4.2.

Why would you be forced to use Xcode? I’ve been a developer (just not Swift) for years and have never used Xcode.

Why would the dictator “give” a new constitution after the country burns down? Wouldn’t the country burning down imply “the dictator” is gone?

And you lost me

I’m a web developer and whenever I see my (awesome) mechanic I always wonder what it’s like on the “other side.”My dad was a mechanic when I was a child and I always regret never picking up those skills.

A lot of times when they run me through their problem-solving I’m like “damn, that’s just like reproducing a bug to find its root cause.”

Your performative edginess has been noted and filed wHeRE iT bEloNGs.

God damn these people just can’t get over it can they? This “debate” has been going on for like, 10+ years no?

If you see a Docker solution that looks nice just look at how it’s built and replicate whatever software is packaged in its Dockerfile.

My router is just a Protectli Vault mini PC with Alpine Linux. You can essentially pick your favorite Linux (or BSD) distro and make it a router.

They’re similar but mainly Tailscale arranges WireGuard tunnels between peers. There are tons of useful features around that functionality like being able to route specific traffic through specific hosts (“nodes” using “app connectors”); it’s even better at finding a way out of hostile networks using relays.

Just as an example I typically use my VPS as an “exit node” so that all my traffic routes through it (which does a ton of tunnel hopping through commercial VPNs) while my wife isn’t into that at all, but both of us have Tailscale on our devices so when either of us accesses Home Assistant it’s routed directly to the host hosting it.

I used to just use a script with cron to update Cloudflare DNS records but these days I don’t screw around with exposing anything to the public internet directly, I just use Tailscale.

Ha, this reminds me of implementing “API” access in the shipping world for companies that only ship a 90s-style web portal.

Are you thinking of Tor? i2p can be very quick once your node becomes aware of others.

Why is this always the go-to answer? I kind of wish we’d stop asking it must sync to the clearnet.

Honestly if Lemmy (and other services) were built from the ground up for anonymous overlay networks rather than clearnet in the first place it would be a better place overall.
