normaler··on Thomann takes legal action against Fender
I used to work for a Thomann competitor "Musicstore" in ~2005.

The server was some tower server in a back office with a note reminding everyone not to turn it off.

With Thoman being hugged to death right now I would like to think of there being a similar situation (its probably fine, but it made me feel nostalgic).

normaler··on Oh My Zsh adds bloat
I have been using fish for 10 years now as my main shell and it is just perfect.
normaler··on A One-Minute ADHD Test
My mother is very similar to what you have described and mimicks some reponses of her to her ADHD situation pre-diagnosis/post-diagnosis.

She is also ~60 and accomplished in her professional,social and family life.

Pre-diagnosis she would reject suggestsions going into the direction of an ADHD diagnosis, due to her accomplishments being above average --> not possible to have a disability/neuro-divergence.

The achievements are her achievements, but the expense in the context of her capabilities was very high and quite taxing on her.

A diagnosis or even treatment is not making the person normal, but it can help provide that person with options to alleviate the expense of operating differently to the baseline.

I am very happy that you managed to have this success in your life so far and you made that happen.

But under your assumption that you have ADHD you might have made that happen against odds that would have been in part optional if you had access to treatment options.

normaler··on AI paid for by Ads – the GPT-4o mini inflection point
I am enjoying this Moment in time where I can ask chatgpt product related questions and not get ad biased suggestions. I think there is ~ half a year left
normaler··on Ly: Display Manager with Console UI
Also if sway dies not exist just change to tty2 e.g. and log in there. This will not Start sway there.
normaler··on Ly: Display Manager with Console UI
I tried it a couple of times, but i think just a tty with the shell configured to start whatever when logged in via e.g. tty1 is superior.

Also I kept having issues with it, not using pam correctly on arch.

normaler··on FCC rule would make carriers unlock all phones after 60 days
What are free installment plans?

Currently the most used phones in the US are iphones.

If the actual cost is not hidden behind monthly payments anymore, but some users can not afford iphones, people might start to consider cheaper phone options.

German government subsidized fraudulent Chinese "Green" company's.
normaler··on How to get 7th graders to smoke
Long term use aside, the amount of life changing (mostly in the bad sense) interactions I had while using alcohol are in a class in its own. Prison statistics reflect that especially in violent crime.
normaler··on Metabolism of autism reveals developmental origins
There is an increased comorbidity with neuro divergence and harmful behaviour.
normaler··on EU Right to repair: Making repair easier and more appealing to consumers
Thank you for the clarification
normaler··on Android 15 may make it harder for sideloaded apps to get sensitive permissions
GraphenOS offers that, since the Playstore/Google Applications are non privileged applications.

Big Plus for being easy installable from the Graphenos Appstore Applications. It currently offers 8 applications and 4 of them are GraphenOS own applications.

normaler··on EU Right to repair: Making repair easier and more appealing to consumers
Maybe make it into category's where more money equals more guaranteed work time unless specifically excempt due to the nature of the product, but most electronics should be able to work one year at the very least.
normaler··on EU Right to repair: Making repair easier and more appealing to consumers
In germany and maybe the entire EU there is a one year mandatory time where the manufacturer has to replace/fix the item and after the replace/fix event there is another 2 months on top.

normaler··on Shattered Pixel Dungeon is an open-source traditional roguelike dungeon crawler
I have been playing Pixel Dungeon and then Shattered Pixel Dungeon since ~2016.

Such a great game.

normaler··on Hackintosh is almost dead
This is my current state of thought. Proprietary software perceives me as an enemy who needs to be locked out of as many features as possible to allow for more money to be extracted out of me while also investing the least amount possible back into the product. The only timeframe where proprietary software is groundbreaking and at the forefront of technology is when they have not yet captured and locked in a large market share.
normaler··on TOTP Codes in the Terminal
I use aegis (previously i used andotp) and backup to a folder shared via syncthing. This allows me to usw OT via andotp -cli in emergency vor to use it in a new phone. For some i also use keepassxc (my credential/information store.) but the important ones. I prefer yubikeys, but keep totp AS a backup mechanism when i can add two methods.
normaler··on Apple is lobbying against right to repair 6 months after supporting it
In any company of this size there is no owner that can decide he cares about anything but money. There is no actual vision other then short and longterm shareholder value.

"Founders" like Musk and Jobs have a short window where they can move their companies in directions which matches their vision, but that closes quickly after the company goes public and their stock gets diluted enough so that they be ousted.

normaler··on Mozilla says Apple's new browser rules are 'as painful as possible' for Firefox
They can and they do. But you are missing out in revenue when they do.
normaler··on SSH-Snake: Automated SSH-Based Network Traversal
This is a good reminder to give keys only to huma s and in case of e.g. backups use specific users and limit the commands this user can access on the remote machines via jails or the authorized key file.
normaler··on My Unhealthy Relationship with Keyboards
I have been using the Freestyle Pro for the last 4 years now and it has ended me thinking about keyboards. I was really looking forward to the new super fancy one, but that felt too expensive when I already have one I am happy with it. ~600 Euros in DE when I remember correctly.

If I buy crypto and posess it in my own wallet afterwards I can usw it however. Atleast with monero.
normaler··on Self hosting in 2023
I run vpcs and homeserver I avoid all the DNS and port forwarding issues by having a wireguard Server in obenbsd that also runs unbound, so i habe some internal DNS entrys for stuff i host at home linke Cale der and co tacts
normaler··on London's Ultra Low Emission Zone to cover entire city
Brabus SMART car would be exactly that.
normaler··on Systemd 252
systemd-networked + systemd-resolved is also really awesome.

It lets you configure DNS Server per link and resolve only certain domains via a specific DNS Server configured from a link.

e.g. multiple customer specific wireguard Tunnels that resolve the specific project related domains, but dont resolve all your other DNS.

normaler··on WireGuard in FreeBSD
I meant in the context of a Bastion ssh server, which is what the patent meant i think.
normaler··on WireGuard in FreeBSD
no, there might even be detriment Because of the way FreeBSD modifes openssh. OpenBSD might be an improvement to Ubuntu security wise.
normaler··on Disposable Root Servers
Better term would be disposable root shell. I am interested in the networking part of it. How that is achieved.
