Deliberately duplicate a mac address, and worse, deliberately pick a device that's definitely going to be online in the same network segment?

At first I thought you were either trolling or profoundly ignorant.

Then I remembered that wifi is CSMA, and thought, hang on... is this actually a genius idea? Has this user come up with a hack that no-one else knows about? So I tried it.

It doesn't work. I couldn't even join.

So no, you are either trolling or ignorant.

Hers some discussion and links, for anyone interested: https://superuser.com/questions/1132935/duplicate-mac-on-a-wifi-network-problems

Racial origins of those terms? Citation needed.

Black and white, in the sense of good and evil, have had their connotations for a fucking long time, whereas black and white to describe skin colour are relatively recent etymologies. I'm pretty sure that Romans didn't call themselves "white" or others "black", for example.

I'm willing to be taught, but this sounds like bullshit to me.

The etymology being wrong doesn't mean that we shouldn't drop freighted terminology, I just don't want false justification. Bullshit is never a valid reason to do something.

Pure FUD. Worse, it's wilfully stupid.

Are you in the habit of picking pipeline commands at random? Do you not usually have a purpose in mind? OBVIOUSLY the receiving end has to understand what it's receiving, or what the fuck are you even doing?

Do you believe that your text processing commands don't have to understand what they receive?

Let's get the ports of the node container.

Bash:

docker ps | grep node | cut -n 6 -f ' '

Pwsh:

docker-ps | where name -eq 'node' | select ports

First the grep command shits the bed because at some point you started a new container running a nodejs image.

Then the cut command fails because you had a container with a space in the name, so it outputs mounts instead of ports.

That's a non-issue with sematic tools. Semantic tools are also legible. Yeah, I can figure out what that awk command does, but it's meaningless unless I also know the shape of the data is supposed to operate on.

You don't write "USE 2nd DATABASE; SELECT 3rd COLUMN FROM 10th ROW", do you? Why would you want to do that in a shell?

What's wrong with Virtual Desktops on windows? They work perfectly for me.

No argument with your other points.

My understanding is that the Windows terminal sucks? I don't know why, it just looks bad.

Your understanding is wrong. I've tried 8 different terminals on mac, arch and kubuntu, and I miss Windows Terminal every day. It looks good and the config is a pleasure. I don't expect Linux to look pretty, but MacOS had fucking awful font rendering and it's supposed to be this upmarket OS for moneyed pricks in black turtlenecks. Was everyone in unixland busy doing drugs while Microsoft was implementing anti-aliasing? Is clear legible type for losers?

You have a point, but the reason palm oil is so cheap is that Indonesia turns a blind eye to the clear-cutting. Those costs are externalised, and we all pay them every day, whether we consume palm oil or not.

Fucking corruption, man.

Fuck Peter Lim and everyone like him.

His password was "daddy"

Now it's "daddy2"

Looks like yellow fingers and grey complexion.

I did not find that at all.

I'm sorry you have that - I didn't. I was quit with no cravings for five years, what got me back in was spliffs with tobacco. (Now I vape, because I do intend to occasionally smoke weed with tobacco.)

The reason you still have cravings is because you never deprogrammed yourself. You still associate gaspers with relief, relaxation, pleasure.

If you can reframe the sensation of smoking as the tense tickly feeling of "god I could use a fag", which no-one would claim to enjoy, the rest is plain sailing, and within a few weeks you'll be past any cravings. The bulk of the cravings are done within a few days.

I don't mean to suggest that it's easy to quit - most people fail. But the trick is not too withstand cravings for the rest of your life, it's too break the paradoxical association of fags with pleasure, which is a one-time thing.

Great boast for privacy. Removes a lot of attack surface that law could exploit. And potentially reduces running costs, too.

Glad to hear you're building the kernel too.

It ain't no joke?

Who said you can self-host Zadarma?
