@arran it totally does though, don't pretend it doesn't

lol this instance is blocked on mspsocial.net for being "kiwifarms adjacent"

https://mspsocial.net/about/more

what does that even mean?

@collappsar before i mute you, could you please tell me how or why all of you smoothbrains on kiwifarms started replying to me out of nowhere? did i get linked somewhere or something?

why am i getting a bunch of annoying and useless reply guys from kiwifarms today? did they link me or something?

@collappsar thanks for this information that is not useful to me at all

of course npm keeps its cache under .npm instead of .cache

@Matatjahu @Philoxenus no, next i'm going to tell you i'm muting both of you kiwifarms idiots for replying with utter nonsense and wasting my time. go bother someone else

@Matatjahu @Philoxenus i'm not forced to install anything, i can power off the system. it's a disposable install, "just update the damn computer" is not what i want to do with my hardware, you have entirely missed the point of this. this is about consent, not about software.

the fact that win10 actually refuses to let you shut off the computer *right now* without installing the updates first is perhaps one of the most user-hostile and consent-violating things i've ever seen in software. instead i hard power off, potentially corrupting the filesystem. fuck yourself, microsoft, and i hope i never learn the names of the devs who implemented this malware.

@tedu @eurasierboy ps i am sorry for saying it sucks, it's actually good and i like it, i was just being jocular

@tedu cc @eurasierboy

@tedu oh wow yes indeed they are on the web. amaroq was not rendering the <p> at all.

i filed it

i wish to hire a contract sysadmin to help me deploy and maintain my infrastructure. part time, project-to-project.

if you are experienced with unix, only use key based ssh/mosh auth, like documenting things, are fluent with git, and are okay using a separate dedicated machine i provide, please inquire to sneak@sneak.berlin with your cv/relevant experience and rates.

@DefaultAlex @absturztaube @aetios @Lilith should do 7ghz no problem

@sp1rit i use chrome on macos, chrome on windows, chromium on linux, mobilesafari on ios, and chrome on android - are there solutions for these?

we have a standard network discovery (beacon packets) for wifi, why not for wired lans?

i really really really wish we had something standard like CDP for the whole industry, so that an ethernet card can tell me what the name and port number and vlan of the managed switch its connected to is. the fact that we can send a gigabyte per second through the port (yes i have a 10gbit lan don't @ me) but don't know which fucking port it's plugged in to without crawling on the floor and tracing cables is.... insane

can i just give a shoutout to VLC for asking on first launch if it's okay to connect to the network to check for updates, and if it's okay to connect to the network to download media metadata? this is polite, consensual, awesome software.

@fikran where?
