@surfingalot because i have a desk with three monitors and i can always use another workstation

have a yubikey with private keys on it and don't have the pubkey or the secret stubs?

regenerating the secret stubs when you have the pubkey is documented, but here's how to regenerate the pubs too:

i had no idea about their parents

what should i do with a hard drive that throws write errors sometimes but isn't completely dead? it's 10tb so i don't want to just throw it in the garbage.

you basic-ass bitches using sodium hydroxide to clean out your sink drains

just a reminder that they did this a year before the iphone came out, when people were still using the palm treo and that stupid blackberry with the trackball:

and oh, take me off your mailing list for kids who think it still exists.

@nattukaran yes it's on a blank factory new device with no registration or activation of any kind

you can't actually turn off automatic updates if your freshly installed ipad running ios15 is not connected to a network, as it's behind the "is there an update available" screen, which endlessly pops up a "can't check for updates" modal preventing you from accessing the "turn off Apple RCE" submenu.

an ipad mini with a cellular connection running ios15 can activate even without a sim, as ios15 includes an esim provided by apple for activation. this means prior to activation on a fresh boot it's already identifying itself to the tower and leaking your location and IMEI, WITH NO SIM INSTALLED.

TIL that the iOS activation process is actually patented:

linux networking has gone totally insane now, the tools all seem to work but are entirely opaque to users. everything makes its own network namespace now and your usual tools and troubleshooting procedures are completely useless.

@surfingalot i had to unhook one of the three 4k monitors from the VR machine to hook up the VR, and tbh i don't really need multi monitors on the VR system. i think i want a different computer hooked up at that right-hand desk where the 3 dell displays are, and to dedicate the VR machine to VR/games only.

regrettably i think i need more computers

@raphael that seems on the upper end of a little expensive but probably doable. can you keep all my keys and identifiers the same from my masto instance?

imagine being mad about pronouns: you squirted air through your own meat and produced incorrect vibration wave symbols, now we fite
